TAKING Of YPREs
PLAN Of GERMANS

PORTANT SALIENT, And THEN
BELIEVE III WOULD GREATLY
DTSHEARTEN ENGLAND.

NEW YORK, April 49, Creation o.
a new salient before Ypres, such as
caused the evacuation of. Armentieres,
is the immediate purpose of Won Hin
denburg's present operations in the
sector north of the Armentieres posi-
tons.
Already an angle has been formed
in the Y..res area that threatens to
develop difficulties for the Allies I'M
til the German advance is checked.
This is the reason why there is such
existent and desperate fightin at
Hollebeke, Wttschaete and Messines,
and to the southwest These positions
dominate any operations from the
south against Ypres. Their permanent
occupation by the Germans would
give Won Hindenburg an opportun-
ity to swing his attack further north
where progress of about five miles
would compel the evacuation of Ypres.
The British positions in this sector
are admirably provided for defensive
fighting. They can be made into death
traps for the Germans, whose system
Of massed attacks particularly La
BILE to slaughter before the ridge on
which the British defenses are based.
If these ridge positions should fall to
Hindenburg, however, the district be-
yond would present less difficulties be-
cause it is downhill to Ypres.
The capture of Ypres is chiefly de-
sired by the Germans not so much
because of any special military value
but because of the moral effect the
kaiser thinks may be produced IN
Great Britain
Much glory Of British arms has been
gained in the. Ypres area and the re
capture of the sector by the Ger
mans could doubtless come as 2
shock. But the selection of Ypres az
an objective by Won Hindenburg gives
Marshal Haig a splendid opportunity
to administer the second major de-
feat to the Germans in the course OF
their recent drive. The first defeat
came with the abandonment of fur
tier operations against Amiens. Ii
Won Hindenburg is soon compelled to
cease his slaughter of German troops
in the Ypres sector, the result can
not fail to be highly disheartening to
the Germans at home, counting III
