HAVE GONE TOO FAR
Whether by their own desire or be-
cause of the elusive tactics employed by
General Haig, the Germans apparently
stand committed to their present eff
forts beyond withdrawal. For six days
they have battered at the British lines,
reckless of the loss of life involved, bent
apparently upon only one purpose, to
strike with such terrific force that the
British army should be crushed and use
less. Now, it is pointed out, the first
force of their rush has been disspated
and they have not been allowed to come
to grips with the foe in a final struggle.
Always Haigs men have slipped away,
to fight again, and again withdraw after
time. Now, for the first time. they are
striking back at certain points and re-
taking ground they had surrendered.
