overseas to warrant any disquietude
on the part of the American public or
any of the nations allied against Ger

Dire Tardeiu, French High Commits
sioner to the United States, in state

by Americans at home of the same
calm confidence" in the ultimate Is
sue of the war as has been maintain
ed by the nations troops in France.
Germany's "long distance" bonn
bardment of Paris can have no signi-
ficance from a military viewpoint,
Captain Tardieu declared. The dam
age resulting from the gunfire, evil
IDENTIFY had been even less than that
incidental to an aerial bomb attack
The British retirement near St.
Quentin on the western front, the
High Commissioner believed, was a
move paralleling that of the French
during the first two days of the bat
tie of Verdun. Captain Tardieu ad-
vised that Americans be critics of the
war news and warned against the
forming of conclusions until the net
result of the new German move was
determined.
"The German attack" said Captain
Tardieu. Seems to have exceeded in
violence by the number Of guns as
well as by the number of men all
previous attacks, but insist that this
attack is exactly similar to all those
which have already been repulsed
The two first days seem to me to be
absolutely similar to the two first
days of the battle at Verdun in Feb
ruary, 1916. The British retirement
near st. Quentin relatively is not
more important than the French re-
tirement was at the beginning of the
Verdun engagement.
"Ten days later at Verdun we had

ceased to retire and the result was of
negligible value to Germany. We have
every right to think that the outcome
will be the same this time. The Ger
mans may benefit by the increase c
power resulting from the Russian
treason in abandoning the cause of
democracy. think the numerical SUI
periority of Germany is to 5, but the
British and French are much stronger
and much better armed now than we
were at Verdun. Therefore, there is
no cause for anxiety.
Notwithstanding the tremendous
weight of troops and fighting machin-
cry employed, the results of the last
two days are not superior to those we
achieved ourselves in the first two
days of our offensive on the Somme in
1916. You must also keep in mind
that the few miles which the Germans
have taken with the sacrifice of thou
sands upon thousands of men consti-
tute only small part of the territory
they evacuated in 1917.
"In their official communique of this
morning the Germans declare that the
first stage Of the great battle has end
ed. This is very mediocre result,
What will follow we shall see and>i
do not choose to be a prophet, but J
have conviction that the beginnin =
of this battle holds nothing that
should be disquieting to the allies.
Our gallant and brave comrades of
the British army will be able to do
now what We have done in Verdun
and, side by side with the British, the
French army is ready to render the
enemy blow for blow.
CAS- regards the bombardment OF
Paris by long-range guns, the bonn
bardment does not seem to have hurt
Paris as much as is usual in bomb
ing by airplanes. have only one word
regarding this firing on Paris. If
there really exists such gun the ini-
tial speed of the shell must be such
that the gun will not be able to work
after very limited number of shot
We must, therefore, maintain the
same attitude that the Parisians have
held-there must be complete calm.
Finally, ask our American
friends to draw from the first two
days of battle only two conclusions:
81. The necessity of keeping cool
and makink themselves the critics of
the news.
"2. The necessity to act rapidly
and increase with all haste the prep
aration of the American help.
I'm such'a great battle as this we
must see the whole thing and get only
part of it.
I'm the last two days ! have noticed
a tendency now and then on the part
of the American press and the Amer
lean public to be a little nervous.
America is in the war, American boys
are on the front. The American pub
lie in the rear must keep as calm as
the American boys on the fighting
line"
