All Ground Gained During Last Several Days
Paid for at a Tremendous Price,

SAID that the Germans in their
new offensive have been definite
~ stopped, there is nevertheless
marked elimination in the
speed with which they started
out and their gains since Satur-
day have been relatively small
when compared with those of
/ previous days.
And according to the accounts
OF unofficial observers, whereas
they have been aole since the
Stl1fenlng Of the allied lines to
attain low positions. an exorbi-
fant price IN lives has been ex-
acted from them. Sogreat have
oeen the casualties suffered
that the Prussian guards divi-
sion, the "pride of the German

'1deavoring to push farther for

1lve the French troops almost
every where successfully with
stood the onslaught, out on sew
eral sectors themselves have
jaken the initiative and gained
ground. AS a whole the situa-
tiOn along this line is relatively
unchanged.
The German war office at last
has admitted that the allied line
on the west has been reinforced
by fresh units, but it asserts
that they have not heen able to
hold the positions to which thev
were assigned. Nevertheless
the fact is patent from observa.
tlon of the War maps that almost
everywhere in this region the
German line for the moment at
least is being hard held.
From Chateau Thierry east.

to Rheims the situation is virtu.
ally unchanged from that of

The news of what it has cost
the German armies in men killed

the present battle is reaching
Germany through noless au-

letter from a German colonel at
the front who urges the people
to bear their losses with patience
and confidence.
Little lighting aside from the
usual small affairs between raid.

Flanders front. The British
have carried out successful raids
on several sectors here and have
taken nearly 300 prisoners.
