"We are at the decisive moment of
the war and one of the greatest mo-
ments in German history" telegraphed
the kaiser to the Rhenish provincial
council, and thereupOn, Thursday
morning, his forces began a tremen-
douS bOmbardment of wide stretch
of the British front north of st. QUEEN
tin. This was followed by attacks by
large masses of infantry which were
hurled against the British front in
desperate efforts to break through.
The assaults were extremely costly
to the enemy and up to the time of
writing had been of little avail, for
though at some points the British adj
vanced lines had been penetrated,
Field Marshal Haig reported that on
no part of the long front of attack
had the Germans attained their Objec-
tive.
Apparently Won Hindenburg was try
ing to drive in a wedge on each side
of the Cambria salient, and at the same
time his troops made vicious assaults
on the French northeast of Verdun
and near Reims, though these were con-
SideYed as diversions rather than parts
of the main attack. The lines held
by the Americans in the Lorraine and
TOul sectors had not been aSSailed.
The British were in no way sur
priSed by the attack of Thursday, and
their commanders met it with supreme
confidence. In every possible way they
were prepared to meet the assault, of
which they had had ample warning
Whether this smash was really the
opening of the threatened great spring
drive of the kaiser or not was uncer-
tain, but American military experts
doubted it. If it were said they, it
was the most hopeful sign of the war
such a defeat they felt, would bring
much closer the ultimate triumph of
the cause of the allies.
Intense aerial activity characterized
the operations all along the west front
last week. There were numerous COM
bats, in which the allies generally had
the best of it, and the British and
French aviatorS made many raids on
towns and military establishments
back of the German lines. Mannheim
especially was hard hit by the British.
The American flyers also were very
BUSY and won praise by their skill and
daring.
These developments lend backing to
the statement of one war correspond
ent that land fighting in France is tenn
porarily in allegiance and that the allies
expect to win the war there in the air.
| having already undoubted supremacy
in that element. He asserts that if
the Germans make their great drive it
must be made blindly, and the allies
will promptly send their immense
nayies of the air across and destroy

pots and factories and his entire or

ments. If this is the plan, there is the

speed up it's tagging production of bat

emy had cancelled.the game for Satur-

had was fray with the Maclay Street

the Huns, but he carried the precious
pigskin and was running for victory,
not from cold feet. Each gallop netted
six points, and the total was 1915.
Flickinger. of Maclay. was close on
his heels in the action, while Yingst.
Rose, Menger, Loose and Michaus
gave a good account of themselves.
Students of Tech and the Academy
will flock to Academy grounds this af-
ternoon for a practice wame, which
has been arranged between the two,
and it will be interesting to compare
the material in each team. The Acad
emy cannot hook up now with any
team on Saturday. but Coach Rudisill
is keeping the squad up to the mark
so that when the flu ban is lifted
Academy should be able to take on the
best OF them.

Georgia Tech, attack has fallen to
Guyon. And the way the Indian has
responded is a revelation.
Guyon, as swift as the wind, fear
less player and possessed of prodigi-
Gus strength, has been an irresistible
force against every line he has charg-
ed against. No eleven has been able
to halt him. He has punctured one
line after another with his tremendous
plunges. ran ends in a bewildering
way and handled the forward pass
like a master.
Guyon is in almost every play that
Georgia Tech makes-a tireless
worker. When not carrying the ball
he usually is heading interference and
when on the defensive, il Is his dar-
ing tackles thta frequently halt at
tempts of the enemy to race down the
field toward Georgia Techs goal line.
Guyon. who is "a years old. began
his football career at the Carlisle In
dian School. taking a prep" course
for the engineering work. He is now
studying at Georgia Tech. Guyon,
whose home is in New Mexico, is .
feet II inches tall and weighs 1S4
pounds.
i've seen many great Indian play
ers in my time-but few have been the
peers of Guyon." asserts John w.
