make much progress north OF the
Somme, and on the second day OF the
fighting they lost Chipilly. On that
day, however, the German resistance
to the south was broken by the Brit
ish and French, who began to get
Montdidier into a pocket. On the
third day the French launched an at
tack on the other side of Montdidier,
making rapid progress in a few hours.
It must have been evident to the en-
envy even on the second day that
Mondidier, the great railway juno
ton, was untenable. and they prob
ably drew back most of their forces
during the night, leaving a strong
rear guard to cope with the French.
The reports indicate. however, that
the progress of the British and French
on Saturday was SO rapid that Gen.
eral Won Hutier's army was having
the greatest difficulty to extricate it.
self from the jaws of the pincers.
To the north, that is to say, in the
center. the British, with Canadians
and Australians, continued to gain
toward Chaulnes after occupying
Rozieres. At Chipilly Americans
were thrown into the fight Friday
afternoon, and, with the aid of the
British. recaptured it. On Saturday
they pushed some distance beyond
Chipilly and Morlancourt, in tn
same region.
By this time the enemy's lines had
been so seriously shattered that a
general retirement to a wholly new
line was imperative. Indeed, the
high command probably had given
the order for this retirement on the
first or second day of the fight, but
even this timely provision failed to pre-
vent the Allies from capturing hun
dreds Of cannon and thousands Of
prisoners.
We suggested a few days ago that
the Germans might decide to retire
to the Hindenburg line, from which
they started in the spring. 1t may
be that they had already begun p4 ep-
arations for such a withdrawal when
they were hit by the Allied whirl-
Certainly they have not made
the resistance that was to be expect
ted from a great numbers and good
organization. We must remember
that before the offensive began they
effected local retreats in the Mont
didier and Albert sectors.
But whether they were attacked
while actually retiring, or whether
they presented all their power to the
Allies at the moment the offensive
was launched, the Allies have won a
decisive victory. The American
drive in the Marine salient was the
turning point of the war, but it is
doubtful whether it obtained the
fruits that would seem to be the in
evitable sequence of the Franco
British victory, in which the Ameri-
are successfully participating.
Both battles have been entente sue
in a special sense. In the first
even the Italians had a share. In

BLOODY HARVEST Of
LOSSES FOR HUNS
BRITISH AND FRENCH CRUSHING,
IN HUN ADVANCE WITH
APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.
Hindenburg Hurting Mass After Mass
Into Center on the Front Between
Mondidier and Marcel Cove,
Without Success.

LOndon.-The end of the day on
which Hindenburg had boosted his
army would be in Paris saw the great
German wedge in Picardy encased on
both sides by walls of granite and
it's spearhead badly battered on one
side while desperately ''craning' for
ward on the other, taking fearful pun
iShment.
The Prussian eagles wings are as
if tied fast, unable even to make the
slightest fluttering move. They are
in great danger of being momentarily
clipped. Meanwhile the "beak" is
desperately hacking away-toward
Amiens. The twelfth day of the bat
ale brought the Germans only insig-
nificant gains in this hacking" move
ment, but netted them bloody har-
vest of losses.
With the fatalistic persistency of
losing gambler, Hindenburg is hurting
mass after mass into center ON the
front between Montdidier and Marcel
Cave which has the Ominous signifi-
cant length of some thirteen miles. He
pursues, despite the indescribable
blood path in which thousands upon
thousands of his best fighting men
have suffOcateG during the ten days
of the win or lose tusSle, the same
aims which he set out, but failed to
gain, in the first violent sweep: sep
aration of the French and British
armies.
Paralyzed on both sides, forced to
dig in where he had intended to roll
up the allied wings, he still hopes to
penetrate further and further in the
center, reach Amiens, cut the Paris
Calais rail and automatically release
his flanks from the grip in which
they are now held.
In the marshy angle between the
Avre river and Luce brook he is
throwing new divisions into combat as
last desperate chance.
All day long Monday the carnage
ragged on this front, and it continued
throughout the night. Despite their
small gains during twenty-fOur hours,
the Germans are farther away from
AmienS than they were three days
previous after the capture of Mezeres,
which they have since lost. Their CEN
ter faces the big strategic railroad in
a semicircular shape, the nearest
point still being ten miles to the
southeast of AmienS.
Time, the greatest ally in this cru
cial battle, has enabled the British
to take every possible measure of pre-
caution to bring up their forces and
bring up fresh troops and more guns,
"They cannot break through" is the
keynote of every dispatch from the
front.

FAITH IN RED CROSS
Confidence Of Wounded Tribute
to Organization.
Discharged Veteran Tells Of Heroic
Devotion to Duty While
Under Fire.

Chicago.-"What could any army do
without the Red CROSSE" asks Sergt.
Ronald Kingsley. late Of the Fifty
eighth Canadian infantry, who is a vet
eran of the French front permanently
discharged because of injuries re-
ceived In battle.
Sergeant Kingsley answers his own
question.
II think that probably the greatest
tribute that can be paid to the Red
Cross is the confidence of the wounded
man. He feels that no matter how
badly wounded he may be, If once he
gets to the Red Cross man his life is
safe.
II witnessed an incident during the
battle of the Somme which shall
never forget. A Red Cross officer and
four stretcher bearers came to the sup

his men began to dress the wounds and
finally to put the soldiers on stretchers.

The work of the Red Cross on the
battlefield goes on night and day. In

workers and the American boys are
stimulated by this assurance.

struggle it is impossible for us to
realize how big thing and how ter
rible thing we are up against. We
are like a big overgrown 10y trust
ing to his large muscle and cheerful
ness against a prize fighter whose
methods he knows absolutely nothing
about, and therefore he cannot know
how strenuous an adversary he has
to underestimate his strength and to
patronize others who seek to caution
him against the fighter. The French
do not understand this at all and are
inclined to resent it. This, to my
mind, is one of the unfortunate facts

'Barbed Wire Fever"
PAIL OVER entire COUNTRY
Report Few Trains Running, Stations
Deserted, Smoke From but Few
chimneys-Fuel Shortage in
Germany Acute.

London.-All England has been
stirred by the return of 800 soldiers
and civilian prisoners Of war from
Ruhleben, Germany, some of whom are
fishermen who were surprised by the
Germans in the North sea Immediately
after the declaration Of war, and had
therefore been prisoners almost from
the first day of hostilities.
1t is not because of the stories they
tell, for their lips have been sealed so
far as their own sufferings are con-
cerned by order of the government.
The remark of one of the civilians to
an old friend who met the party-"We
are fairly all right, but we have all got
barbed-wire fever"-is said to contain
the whole story. Englishmen know
what that means, and there is nowhere
any desire to reverse the governments
order.
Symptoms of Barbed-Wire Fever.
"Barbed-wire fever is the nervous
strain that is telling with increasing
force-especially in the case of the old
CT men, who cannot take so much exer-
cise-upon the hundreds of men who
have spent over three years on that un-
happy course" says the Manchester
Guardian.
"They were bitterly disappointed
that the attempt of our government to
abolish Ruhleben altogether by an ex-
change, however it might advantage

the Germans, came to nothing, and
many of the repatriated men are con-
vinced that there may be an increase
of mental cases if Ruhleben continues
much longer. You could see the marks
of nervous excitement on many Of the
faces, and probably the reaction from
being set free will he felt severely by
the men of more sensitive minds"
From few of the civilian prisoners
something of the condition of affairs in
Germany was learned-illustration
supporting the general impression, ac-
cording to the Daily Telegraph, "that
the war has entirely changed the con-
ditions of life in the enemy country,
which has ceased altogether to display
that air Of cheerful prosperity which
characterized the Germany Of peace
days."
Germany, it was said, presented the
appearance of a country under
blight"
Germany Under Blight.
Il was very much struck when trav-
cling through the country" said one
Of the men, with the dead look Of ev-
erything. Even in one of the great
towns through which we passed there
seemed to be little going on, and the
railway stations were almost entirely
deserted. On the line between Span
lau and Hanover we did not see a
single passenger train, and the goods
traffic appeared to be quite negligible.
The fields were devoid Of cattle, and
on the whole journey I saw less than
score Of sheep"
Other men with observant eyes had
come to the conclusion that the fuel
shortage in Germany must be acute,
because though the weather was Bit
terly cold smoke could rarely be seen
issuing frem chimneys. Another thing
that struck seem was the extent to
which women are doing work on the
railways. They We're seen acting as
firemen on locomotives and as plate

Offered Friends in France,

austin, Tex.-Sergt. III. Clyde Balls
ley is the first Texan to return from
France as hero of the flying service
Of the Lafayette Escadrille, of which
be is member. Young Balsley's
home is in San Antonio, and he is a
former student of the University Of
Texas. He came to Austin few days
ago upon invitation from his old-time
friends in the university to relate his
experiences. He is home ON con-
valescent leave, having just recovered
from wounds received when attacked
by flock of German airmen. He fell
with his machine from a height of
$4,000 feet to an altitude of 1000 feet,
when he managed 20 right his airplane
and land safely behind the French
lines He spent three years in the
flying service.
Patriotism Must Be Aroused.
"Wase up. America !" should be the
slogan Ct the people Of the United
States, Sergeant Bals,ey said while
here. 1T is so terribly necessary
and right now-that the whole country
be filled with patriotism. 1t must
feel that on it, and it alone, rests the
outcome of this war. Until that time
do not believe Americas best efforts
can be put forth. For while no one,
| think, would want to take one iota
of cheerfulness or happiness away
from our soldiers, ctill we who are at
the frOnt-the allies and the French
feel that Americans are too cocksure
too full of braggadocio. Confidence
Is all right, but man who does not
measure the enemy's resistance and
take into account that he is fighting
to the death, may stand to lose vast
odds Just because Of his shortsighted-
ness"
Balsley spoke of bombing Germany
with American airplanes.
''Of course, it will take time. From
the French viewpoint it will be 1919
before Americans can really go in in
great forces, because she must get her
planes built and transported, and it
takes time, time, time. We really
think that in 1918 America will only

tons Of the front, and that it will be
two years before she can really make
herself felt in the real struggle"
Of German atrocities, Balsley would
not speak.
II feel as though I never want to
shake hands with one Of them again."
he declared. "In the whole world
there is only one l regard highly, and
he is in San Antonio and because 1
felt he was so different have hunted
him up. But only those who have
actually known the meanness and
cruelty of their methods over there
can understand what terrible thing
their disregard of every principle Of
right means"
Balsley has many souvenirs Of the
war-several bayonets, cap taken
from German prisoner. some shells,
German artillery belt, etc. In
worn bit of cloth he carries the shell
which, bursting, shattered his thigh.
1.-THE nurse gave it to me after the
operation" he explained.
In enlarging upon the American at
titude as viewed from the foreign
standpoint Balsley went into details.

Last night, while ruminating upon

No, it was NOT as rough!
But what can poor. downtrodden,

this season Of the year? Every spring,
just when the most tender worms be-

when little Brother Benton and little
