THE RENEWED OFFENSIVE.

While the offensive operations begun yesterday BY the
German armies are not So extended or savage the
terrible struggles Of March and APRIL there is reason
suppose that the fighting viii not developed into Curl
cal series Of battles The opening attacks Of yesterday
tacks at points deemed to be weakest.
The circumstances call for desperate attempt BY Ger
many to break down the allied armies AT the rate Amer
can troops are pouring into France be impossible
for Germany to break the allied lines month or two
hence 1t now or never with the German army and the
German empire.
The allies are more keeg alive to the situation and
are better informed nasey than the enemy concerning
the strength and disposition Of the armies Of France
Britain and the allied contngents All the allies would
be glad to have the Germans postpone the offensive for
month"; but if the enemy feels that he must strike let him
strike He may not receive such surprise would await
him in july but he may be quite Disconnected the
armies stand
There is no false optimism among the allies. They
know that the fate Of civilization win be involved in any
German drive that seeks with desperation to defeat the
armies of Franceand Britain Therefore they have lost
no time but have utilized every in strengthening
and readustng their forces to meet any blow that Ger
many can deliver Under the single direction Of Gen.
Foch the allied armies compact and flexible weapon
of tremendous efficiency They incomparaby better
than the allied armies Of last year Of last spring
The strong American and Italian renforcemens have had
the effect Of stimulating the morale Of every soldier along
the front Terrible the enemy may be- persistent he
may be in sacrificing his men, the allied soldiers wait with
confidence for the opportunity to down their assa
ants AS for the strategy Of the encounter,
in allied countries need fear that Gen. Foch will be out
generated, whether Hindenburg is duty whether his
place has been taken by another With his armies read
usted refreshed aud reinforced Gen. Foch for the first
time has ideal weapon upon which to exercise his ge
MUS in matching wits with the enemyWashingtOn Post

BAKER ISSUES STATEMENT
TO EXEMPTION BOARDS

The Secretary of War made the
following statement in an interview
with representatives of the press:
envy attention has been called to
the possibility of some misunder-
standing Of the order issued through
the Provost Marshal General affect
ing persons engaged in less-essential
industries, one suggestion being that
this is the beginning Of a series Of reg
ulations for the purpose Of affecting
the labor situation in the country.
To Guide Exemption Boards.
II want to state in the most posi-
tive way that this regulation has
nothing to do with the labor situation
Of the country, and it is no part of
the intention Of the War Department
either in this regulation or any other,
to unkedtake to affect the labor stu
alton Of the country by military regu-
lation. The sole purpose Of this or
der is to guide exemption boards in
their duty to apply the provisions Of
the law affecting occupations as a rea-
son for exemption and deferred cIas-
sification."
