BY THE BRITISH GENERAL STAFF

London, May 1.-THE Associated Press has been CIV
the following summary of the military situation as rep
resenting the considered opinion Of the British general
staff.
"The situation the west front has been quiet during
the past week, except for minor ding operations
which the Allies the whole had the advantage.
THE momentum of the Germans in the opening
spring offensive has been expended but it clear that they
are now boiling up for another big effort
"The longer the Germans wait the more men they can
put in from divisions which have been resting and reform
ing and if they wait only little longer they will be able
TO the offensive the scale as before when
they opened front of 50 miles.
But they cannot wait too long The steady stream OF
American reinforcements is coming faster

negligible but the German staff does under rate them

N u m Der of Troops,
When They Arrived
and Part of u. S.
From Which They
Are Drawn n It
now Will Be
Brigaded With Brit
ish in Meeting Next
Stroke of Germans
INCREASE IN
ARTILLERY FIRE
OF GERMANS

American troops are awaiting the
time when they will be thrown into
battle on an entirely new part Of tho
battlefield in France. This time they
are close behind the British positions
in Flanders. The announcement that
the Stars and Stripes is waving with
tho British Union Jack and tho
French Tri Color on this battlefield
said that the Americans were "Com-
pteting their training in the area oe-
eupisd by the troops which are block
ing the path Of the Germans to the
channel ports" which may indicate
that somewhere along the line from
Merville to Ypres is the point where
Gen. Pershine's men will once moro
strike the Germans.
This is the fifth section Of the
front where Americans have been To-
Gated. The others are: East Of
LuneviIe, northwest Of TouI, north Of
St. MiheI on tho heights of tho
Mouse and in tho Montdidier sector
Of the Picardy battle front.
How many Americans are behind
tho British front. when they arrived
and the part Of the United States
from which they are drawn is as yet
unknown. It is probable that they
are not to be used as a separate unit
but will be brieaded with the Brit
ish in meeting the next stroke Of the
Germans in the northern battlefield.
During the past day the activity OF
the enemy has been most pronounced at
the tips of the salients driven into the
allied lines in the Ypres and Somne
fronts. There was notable increase in
| the German artillery fire on the Lys
! front in front of Hazebrouck, while
HaiIles. east Of Amiens, has again been
deluged with shells from the German
cannon. At this point the French have
made notable advances of late and az
no time since the German wedge ceased
to move early in April has this region
been quiet.
The perfect weather that has prevailed
( for several days over the entire west.
! ern front has led to An unusual number
! Of battles between aerial squadrons. In
I these combats the enemy seems to have
suffered heavily, and while the Allies
have not escaped unscathed, they ap-
pear TO have maintained their mastery
of the air. Eddie Rockebacker. the for
mer automobile race driver. now with
the American flying forces on the Tou
front, has added another German ma
chine to his record.
All along the front in France the ten
! sion under which the men are working
has been reflected by the large number
OF trench-raiding forays. Nowhere,
however. has there been a conflict which
might be considered more than skirm-
ish
There have been no further reports
! relative to operations on the Italian
front where on Thursday the Italians
made determined attacks on Austrian
positions east Of the Brenta river.

u. S. Troops Training
With the British

Which Are Blocking Path of Ger
mans to Channel Ports--Are Part
Of New Movement Of Troops From

Washington. May l7.--EvldenCe of
the success of emergency measures
10 bring American man power to aid
the French and British in repelling
the German drive came today with
the announcement that American
troops had reached Flanders and gone
into training behind the British lines
there.
Soldiers from Gen. Pershings army
have been in line with the French and
British in front of .tmicns for some
time but the decision to send addi-
tional forces from this country d1-
rect to the British army was made
after the great German drive launch
ed March II was we'll under way.
Less than two months has been re-
auired to get the first of these troops
across the sea and into position.
Nothing is available at the War
department to indicate the identity
or number of the men in Flanders.
It is probable, however, that the ma
tional army regiment reviewed last
week in London by King George is
included. The infantry and machine
that regiment was attached probab-
ly constitute this first American force
to appear in the Flanders theatre.
The men. it is noted, are described
as being in training" in the British
zones. This is taken here to mean
that they are being brigaded with
British divisions in reserve and will
get their final seasoning quickly
through this close association with
the veterans of Sir Douglas Haig' s
army.
Unless a great emergency arises
when the German assault is renewed
it is not regarded as probable that
the American battalions will be EN- :
ployed on the front line for some
time.
The immediate result of greatest
Importance probably is that the bat
talions Of British troops displaced in
these divisions by the Americans will
be available to fill up other British
divisions to full strength OF for the
orga nlzation of new British div1-
sions. as Gen. Haig deems best. To
that extent the Americans are now
acting as reinforcemcnts for the
British lines. 1t is anticipated that
a limited amount Of additional train
ing under existing conditions Will
round them into shape for any work
that may be assigned to them later.
If the course of the German often
sive permits, the same practice fol-
lowed in training Gen. Pershins
