German offensive on the Western
front has passed and it is to be
scored as German failure, the
enemy having fallen short of
realizing his aims in the first
great smash, according to dis
patches from British headquar-
ter to-day.
After attacking all day yester-
day and until a late hour last
night the Germans let down in
their smashing operations along
fifty miles of the Britist front
and had uot resumed their heavy
assaults at 30 the latest advices
from Sir Douglas Haig. Further
hard fighting was ahead, how
ever, the Field Marshall predict
ed. The enemy was still being
held in the British battle posi-
tions, he reported, which means
that the British line is still in.
tact, although admittedly it has
been backward at points under
the terrific Teutonic assault.
The battle line has not moved
in only one direction, however,
the British having struck back
spiritedIy at the German masses
and reclaimed some of the posi-
tions which they had temporari-
ly abandoned. The German Of
fetal statement received to. day
reports that the British positions
were attacked from a point south
east of Arras to La Fere, the
British lines being captured. The
dispatches from British head
quarters purposely omit giving
the exact position of the British
line at present, for the stated
reason that the enemy might be
given valuable information if the
lines were accurately traced.
While the infantry is being
held temporarily in check the ar
tillery battle is still raging, ac-
cording to indications in the news
dispatches.

sent to Camp Taylor. Stayed
there until November 3, and
was then transferred to Hatties-
burg, Miss. Don't know when
we will leave here, probably
some time in the early summer,
and don't know where we will
go when we leave, but as the
weother doesn't suit us northern
boys down here, think we will
go some where north for the
summer, if we don't cross the
pond. We are having some very
cold weather here now. 1t is
unusually cool for this climate,

We have nice officers and we

WAR NEWS.

on land and sea, and the much
boosted German offensive on the
West front has begun.
Just at the moment when the
fighting has increased in inten-
sity all along the line, Emperor
William is quoted by an Ameri-
can dispatch to the Central News
at London as having sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the Reinish
Provincial Council:
1--WE are at the decisive mo-
ment of the war, and one of the
greatest moments in German his
tory.
London announces naval en-
gagement at Dunkirk, in which
two enemy destroyers and two
enemy torpedo boats were sunk
by the French and English de-
stroyers, who escaped with slight
casualties, and the damage of
one British vessel, while the Eng
lish War Office states that the
Germans have begun a heavy
bombardment of wide section
of the British front extending
fifty miles from Vandueel to the
river Scarpe, south of St Quen-
tin.
ON FIFTY-MILE FRONT.
The beginning by the German
artillery of a heavy lombard
ment along such a wide front
may mean that preparation for
the much-advertised German Of
fensive in the West has been be-
gun. The preparatory work was
about due to begin today, if the
advance announcements were to
be taken at their face value,
judging from the news of a day
or two ago that a party of neu-
tral correspondents had been in
vited by the German high COM
mand to start for the West front
on Wednesday Ito witness the
offensive.
1t is, of course, impossible to
say whether the present burst of
artillery fire on this front means
that it is along the line indicated,
or somewhere within its limits,
that the heavy German blow, if
one indeed is coming, is to be
struck. There is the considera-
ton that the bombardment in
this particular area may be a
feint, to cover a stroke in an
altogether different sector. The
most natural conclusion, how
ever, is that the drive is to be
made at some point in the area
now under fire.
This area embraces most of the
territory outside of Flanders,
over wrich the British have been
fighting, sometimes alone and
sometimes in conjunction with
the French, for the last two
years. II takes in, for instance,
the entire field of the battle of
the Somme, fought in the fall of
1916, and a great part of the
area evacuated by the Germans
the following spring. Within
the lines also is the battlefield of
Cambria, where the British and
Germans won victories in last
falls fighting.
Virtually all the territory
fought oyer in the great battle
of Arras during the spring of
1917 also lies in the area Under
