BATTLE MAY
DELAY BUT WILL
NOT CHANGE RESULT

While the news from tho west front
is unqucstiOnably bad news and
while It has been made clear that
the British forces have been com
pollod to give up territory which they
have held since the Battle OF the
Sommc. tho situation docs not justify
dependency.
The cyonlualitics Of the situation
should be kept in mind. one must
not forget that the Germans are not
going to be allowed TO hold all this
new territory, or to gain more with

GUMS
SHELLS DESCRIBED
IN PREMlER'S PAPER

PARIS, March 27.--Thc calibrc Of
the shclls that are being fired into
Paris by the German long range gun
is IS inches and the length of the
shell is twenty inches, LIIommc
Liborc, Premier Clcmcnccau's news
paper, states. The shell weighs 200
pounds and contains less that TWEEN
~ pounds Of explosives.
The shell is provided with a fuse
protected by threaded stopper and
has a diaphragm inside which divides
the shell into two compartments of
unequal size. Two holes in the dia.
phragm afford communication be.
tween the two pockets. These facts
are accepted as an explanation of
TWO explosions, which on one ocCa,
sion exploded in quick succession
and led to the belief that two guns
were firing.

is distinct reason for announcement.
The terrific preliminary artillery
fire which preceded the present Ger
man onslaught is said to have been
the most concentrated since the war
began. And with such a preliminary
fire. ANY forces may advance. The
British and the French have done il
many times. 1t is always the way.
Human flesh cannot sustain il.
But--and this should be remem.
bered especially in the present at
tack-when the artillery fire SUBJ
sides, when 1t is a straight question
OF men against men, the Germans are
bested by British troops. And most
Of the fighting since the first two
days of the present attack has been
done without heavy artillery prelude.
The German superiority in mum.
oers should have meant complete an.
limitation OF their opponents by this
time, if the comparative fighting
qualities were at all even. The Ger.
mans engaged in the big battle sector
number nearly n million and a quar-.
ter men. The British and French on.
posing them number less than three
quarters of million. And yet the ad.
vance has been very slow.
1t is inconceivable that the British
and French do not have immense re-
serves in the rear, ready for entry
into the fight If it became really
menacing TO either Paris or the
coast. The western offensive has
been too long advertised for there TO
be any possible excuse not to have a
great reserve somewhere.
Premier 1loyd-George says that all
the men thus far lost will be replac-
ed by men already cnroute from Brit
ain or about TO be sent.
During the five days that the often
Sive now has been on there is no
question these reserves can have
been brought up ready to be launch.
ed into the maelstrom of battle at n
word from the British commanders.
1t is not at all unlikely that this is
about to be done, for the very latest
dispatches from the British army
headquarters in France contain this
sentence:
There is reason to believe that i'm
portant events will be recorded with.
in the next few hours which may lead
TO bcttermcnt OF the position of the
armies which are stemming the Ger.
man onslaught"
Let Us not forget that the Germans
are not unlimited in number; nor that
the British, the French and now our
own American armies have been
steadily growing in numbers since
comparative calm settled in the
western theatre.
And let Us not forget that the Ger
man losses have been unprecedented.
The Kaiser is stalking everything on
this move And the human flesh of
his hclots has no consideration in his
grand plan. But once spent in this
final gamble. German forces will be
very considerably weakened. The
forces OF the allies will be constantly
augmented. So, no matter how this
/ offensive ends, it docs not end the
war
II is time for high courage. It
is no time for dependency The
present action may delay the end. 1t
cannot change the ends. +. Exam

to avoid inevitable delays by planning ahead. If he
waits until the minute he needs them before ordering,
