STOP WAR RAIDS!
COMPARATIVE QUIET on THE
WESTERN FRONT
Probably the Calm Before the Storm
Allies Repulse Attacks
and Gain Ground

For a week, there have been no mai
or operations on the west front, ex-
cept intense artillery duels in which
the British artillery has played hob
with movements of the German army
behind the lines. 1t is very probable
that the intensity and accuracy of the
allied fire broke up many German
attacks before they could be started.
On Monday the German batteries OPP
ened a terrific fire on a twenty-five
mile front as the prelude to an in
fantry attack, but so frightful was
the allied reply that the attack never
materialized.
Meanwhile the most tremendous
concentration of troops and guns ever
undertaken is heing made behind the
enemy lines, and the supreme German
effort to break through to the sea can
be expected within few days. AS
a shield to stop the diversion of ItaI-
ian troops to the west front, the Aus
trian army has opened an offensive
against Italy. In what force she con-
templates operating is not yet re-
veaied.
Our Badger boys have been in the
thick of the fighting around Amiens,
and the Fond du Lac company lost
many men severely wounded. Our
troops are pouring into France and
our trained men being transferred to
the front in ever increasing numbers.
