More and more the progress of
civilization IS going to rest upon
scientific work, scientific measure
ments and calculations, and science
has long since chosen the metric
system for its tool, because il is the
least complicated. the cleanest cut
ting. the easiest to manage, demand
ing the minimum Of wasted atten-
ton, and showing the smallest
amount of lost motion. Manufac-
lures and commerce must shane
themselves on scientific lines. and
the preliminary costs of necessary
changes will be swiftly recouped
in swelling gains.
1t is true that for the smaller units
OF measurement to which we are &C
customed in everyday life. such as
feet and inches, the metric system
does not offer any close equivalents.
although the basal standards of both
systems. the metre and the yard. are
not far apart. Stretch a ward by
3.37 inches and you have a metre.
But the millimetre. which is less
than twenty-fifth OF an inch. is too
minute for ordinary utilization. while
"A centimetre makes too small a sub
stitute for an inch and a decimetre
too large a one. For the foot the
metric system offers US no real
substitute and to obtain one by sub
dividing the metre, it would be nee
essary 10 violate the fundamental
principle OF decimality on which the
system is based.

miles Of the British front between the
Disc and the Scarpe, crushing the army
which buckled the British to the French
front and opening gap between the
British and French armies. Thereafter
he purposed to throw the British back
upon the Channel and the French in
upon Paris and, holding the one with
relatively small forces, containing him
behind the Somme or the Disc, settle
with the other
In this conception it is still open to
debate whether the German intended to
strike his second blow against the Brit
ish or the French, to seek Paris or the
Channel ports, although I think recent
events have proved that his intention
was to contain the British and destroy
the French. But in any event this was
the course he chose when the British had
been not exactly contained, not in the
least separated from their French al
lies, but subjected to the severest de-
feat in British military history and
brought within sight of ruin.
On March q the German struck be-
tween the Scarpe and the Disc, forty
divisions against fifteen, swiftly de-
stroyed the Fifth British Army, swept
over its ruins to the outskirts of Amiens,
opened the road down the Disc Valley to
Paris as far as Noyon and took Mont
didier, and cut the main railroad from
Paris to Amiens by artillery fire. Only
the swiftest possible work on the part
of the French rushing to the aid of their
British allies prevented the separa ton
of the two armies. The blow was checked
at the moment when further German
progress would have meant separation
and separation approximate ruin.

Rarely has any defeat taken the van
quished more completely by surprise.
Suddenly the French and British alike
were aroused to the fact that their po-
sition was critical, their numbers insult
ficient and bound to be insufficient. They
had expected to maintain a successful
defensive until America deliberately ac-
complished her military programme.
They saw themselves condemned to a
desperate defensive, while America fe-
verlshly rushed to France those divisions
without which Ludendorff victory
seemed inevitable. By April 1, 1918, the
Allied nations at last knew the extent
of their peril and recognized also that
at least four months must pass before
their safety could be assured.
By his first attack Ludendorff, for his
had become the master mind in the Ger
man High Command, employing the
method of brilliant lieutenant, Hutier,
had succeeded where all predecessors had
failed. He had pierced and broken an
enemy front on an extent of fifty miles
and to a depth of thirty-fve. After
three years and a half of war of po-
sitions, of stagnation, of siege and
trenches, he had carried an offensive
into open country beyond all defence
zones. For the moment, at least, it
seemed as if the conditions of warfare
of the Marine time were to be restored
and struggle in trenches was at an end.
Checked in Picardy, Ludendorff car
ried his offensive to Flanders and again
achieved swift and substantial victory
Breaking the Allied line south of
Ypres he pushed forward fifteen miles
toward the Channel ports, won back all

The census gives lhe population
Of St Mary Parish as 39,368. The
average Of % cents per week per
person means that the Parish should
have subscribed to the War Savings
Securities by the end of January
$39,368.00, falling shore therefore
of the average by the sum of
$1O,756.76.
Those in charge of the War Saw

ing for the first month is not so bad,
that shortage was expected, but
that the Parish is expected to catch
this up in February. This means ev-
cry one in February must do as well
as in January and others who have
not yet subscribed, must do so.
