BIC OFFENSIVE
BY GERMAN ARMY
Immense Forces Attempting to
Break Through British Line
British Fall Back to the Line of 1916
Germans Capture Villages, But at
Awful Cost.

The long threatened German offensive,
which Field Marshal Won Iindenburg
Dragged would bring him into Paris April
!, has been smashing against the British
lines on the western front eight days,
making undoubtedly that greatest battle
in the history of the world.
The Germans have gained at terrible
cost about all of the territory which the
British took from them in 1916. While the
lighting has been going on over many miles
of the western front, the main smash was
made in the region of st. Quentin, where
an attempt was made to drive Il wedge
which would separate the British and
French. The Germans have captured ST.
Quentin, Ham, Noyon, Bapaume, Albert
and other Important towns. Their forces
were kept continuously in action at least
sis days, and when one division was cut
TO pieces another one which had been
held in reserve would come to the front

but they are not comparable with those
sustained by the Germans. 1t is csti-

known that these figures are greatly OK

THE American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part Of
Russia surrounding Vladiyos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted in saving thousands of lives
Inc rescue work done by the Red
cross for the Czecho- Slovak refugees
mas assumed prodigious proportions
ana IS daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
Vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho-Slovak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded CZechO-Slovak soldiers who
nave reached Vladivostok after weeks
OF the most desperate fighting against
the pro-German forces.
The condition of the refugees. who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail
way west Of Hardin, was pitiable. A
majority Of them are farmers. though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the BolSheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded Czecho-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
Bolsheviki-German peace, and reliev-
ing the distress Of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo-
ser, American consul and head Of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds in Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians
