THIS CHECK MOST
DECISIVE GERMAN
PUSH HAS HAD YET
By J. w. T. Mason

The German check at Ypres is
the most decisive Won IIindenburg
has suffered since the beginning
of his efforts to reach the Elan
ders plains preparatory for new
major advance to the channel
ports.
The ability of the allies to with
stand the shock of the German
massed attacks without calling
upon their reserves has now been
demonstrated.
Hindenburg will try perhaps
two or three times more to
break thru.
II, however, the northern front
holds fast as it has done in the
past "a hours the German army
must Nbegin it's process Of recuper-
alton, faced with defeat at long
distance from the channel.
The quick termination of yes
terday's assault on the outer de-
lenses of Ypres demonstrates
more than any other occurrence

haustion of his offensive power.
At no other time since the Ger
man advance began, has linden
burg directed the cessation of a
large scale attack before some
slight advantage has been won.
This time the Germans were
halted in their tracks and the eff
feet on Teutonic morale must be
Immediate.
Rejoicings in Berlin at the ex-
pected capture of the channel
ports will cause Gen. Won Arnim's
failure to produce a more pro-
found reaction than otherwise.
The criticisms Of Hindenburg
(which have begun among daring
minority at home because Of his
slaughter of German man power
will now have increasing weight.
Hindenburg cannot afford to
stand still. When that condition
is forced on him, the fact of Ger
many's ultimate defeat must be-
come increasingly evident to the
German people.
