SIZES UP SITUATION

LONDON, May 3.-A representative of General Radcliffe, director of mil itary operations at the war office. to- day summed up the military situation on the western front as follows:
 Tn the north while the Germans failed in their objective they made their right flank secure by the cap ture of Kemmel, but we must regard the operation from the viewpoint of economy of men an dthey used up five divisions from the general re- serve besides seven or eight divisions previously employed"
 "The result of the past week on the whole were satisfactory because the enemy used up a larger number of fresh divisions than the allies. without stragetic result In all he used on the north front 35 fresh divisions. besides the nine division salready there.
 Have Fresh Divisions
 ''The effect of the operations in the north will be to reduce materially the number of fresh divisions the Ger man shave available.
 As to the future, the Germans have large numbers of divisions recovering which can be used shortly. It is diff cult to make an exact comparison of the staying powers of the two armies, but the facts shown are in our favor. If the enemy continues his offensive in the north. he must impair his chances of success in the south.

 Mir Kerney then spoke of a visit he had made to the American troops at the front
 Full of Enthusiasm
 Everywhere" he said,- "I found enthusiasm over the steady courage and ready adaptability of the Amer jeans. One of the finest tributes to our men was the declaration of a very distinguished French officer that the seasoned soldiers of France were eag- CT to fight alongside the Americans.
 Everywhere the American soldier has plenty of clothing to meet the varying climatic conditions" said he. Food is abundant and supplies of all kinds are such as to relieve any worry on that score. The hospital trains kept at the battle front are said to be the finest in the world.
 Everything, in other words, that it has been humanly possible to furnish is there and the moral of the fighting man is the highest"

CRy Review Leased Wire'
 Having met with reverse In thelr operations on the northern side of the Flanders salient. where the French and British have stood shoul- der to shoulder in the defense of Ypres and the high ground which forms a bulwark in front of the chan mel ports. the Germans have. as in dicated by. the most recent reports. turned to the southern side of the angle in the allied lines in northern France. On Thursday night and Friday the German artillery had seemingly centered it's fire on the line between Givenchy and the Neippe forest. and it may be that the enemy will soon launch an attack against this vital section of the British me.
 Dispatches from the British head quarters tell of a tremendous can nonade in the Lys region, which may be taken to mean the part of the Flanders battlefield at or near Mer- vile. where the Germans made their greatest advance last fall.
 Give Up Ypres Drive
 Articles appearing in the German newspapers would seem to indicate efforts to prepare the German people for an announcement that there will he no immediate attempt to take Ypres.
 Experts, writing what may be con- sidered inspired reviews of the sit uation. say that nothing would be gained. by the capture of the ruined city. This may mean that the Ger mans will turn their attention to some other part of the front for new effort and the bombardment of the lines near Merville and further east may be the first step in an attempt to either bore straight through the allied armies. or cut through toward the south and force a British retire ment from Arras-Iiens salient. So far as known. no infantry action has occurred in this sector in the last day.
 Allies Not Idle
 While waiting for the. Germans to make the next move. the allies have not hben idle All along the line their patrols have been active ana at Hangard and Villers-BretonneuX be- lore AmlenS they nave ldheh ldCtiSal positions from the Teutons. One Of these positions was Hill S2. north of Castel. a height which afforded good observation. of the allied communica- ton lines.
 The British admiralty has found that the channel at Zebrugge in which old British cruisers recently were sunk during the naval raid on the German submarine bases on the Bel gian coast is still blocked and will probably remain SO for considerable time in spite of the efforts of the Teutons to dredse a new channel around the obstacles formed by the wrecks of the warships.

 WASHINGTON, May 3.-Simultane- ously with the announcement today that 233. .000 men from 45 states had been called to join the coIors in May. Secretary Baker indicated the scope of the governments plans for increas- ing it's fighting strength. by stating that congress had been asked to ap- propriate approximately $15.eOO. .00O.- 900 for the army for the next fiscal year. That amount is exclusive of funds provided in the Notifications bill which not only covers coast de lenses. but as a rule provides the bulk of heavy field ordnance
 Last year the army estimates az gregated S6.6O0. 100000 to pay for a force of 1.5O0.000 men which already has been excluded.
 To Call Men May 25
 The call for a quarter of a million during May goes to all states except California. Oregon and Nevada. which with the District of Columbia. already have given SO large a part Of their OuOt2s that it was decided not to include them this time.
 The movement in most states will begin May 9 and will be completed in five days
 By this order the war department abandOns it's plan of assembling men in even monthly increments of approx- imately 100000. The call for 150.000 in April and 233.000 this month will bring out in two months half of the number originally contemplated for the year. officials made it clear that it is the purpose to mobilize all the men for whom equipment and train ing facilities can he provided.
 Will Not Be Limit
 Let us avoid specific fsures." Sec-' retary Baker again said today. "They imnly limits There is no limit We will call out enough men to make vic tory certain. We will call them as rapidly as they can be trained and sent forward
 In preparation for this tremendous increase in the army the house mili- tary committee was told today that every existing cantOnment in the cOun- try will be enlarged and every nation al guard camp utilized to its full ca pacity. It is regarded as probable that some new cantonments must be built Ground already has been ob- tained in the vicinity of several can tOnments for eXDansion
