~Seamanship. technical skill. endur-
snce, ingenuity and good fellowship
all Of these we knew we could expect
from the United States navy, and IL is
these very qualities in a degree far
exceeding our anticipation which have
endeared your officers and men to
US all and have brought about that
complete unity of spirit and purpose
between the two great navies to
which the present visit of the Board
of the Admiralty bears testimony.
A Remarkable Feat.
The dauntless determination which
the United States has displayed in
creating a huge trained body Of sea-
men out Of landsmen is one of the
most striking accomplishments Of the
war. Had IL not been effectively
done one would have thiught IL i'm

GERMAN PLANS ARE ].
NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The British
are recovering the initiative in the
struggle for the hills south of Ypres
The capture of Meteren by Field Mar
shall Haig indicates that Won Hinden-
burgs plans are being seriously dis
arranged.
Instead of proceeding with his oper-
atoms against Ypres from the south,
Won Hindenburg yesterday shifted his
attacks to the east, where there are
still more death taps for him in the
hills. The slight retirement in this
area by the British suggests simply
a tactical re-arrangement which should
present new difficulties for the Ger
r,ans.
Won Hindenburg's continued efforts
to penetrate the Ypres highlands from
all directions at heavy cost of cas-
Ualties has now become a measure of
self defense to protect highly dan
gerous German salient to the east OF
Nieppe forest This salient is the
weakest link in the new German front.
Won Hindenburg is compelled to risk
holding fast to it, because it represents
the nearest approach of the German
line to the important British railway
JUNCTION at Hazebrouck. The capture
Of Hazebrouck is Won Hindenburg's
immediate objective as the most neces
sary step in his effort to reach the
channel ports.
In his latest efforts to reach Haze
brouck, however, Won Hindenburg has
come perilously near to overplaying
his hand. The British position here
is continuation of the British salient
at Ypres. The two together form a
huge go turned upside down. The
Ypres salient runs eastward into the
German line in the upper half of the
IS" and the Nieppe forest salient ex-
tends westward into the British line
in the lower half of the IS"
If the British hold fast to Ypres the
German front cannot be Strengthened.
Any time General Foch concludes the
situation is critical he can strike the
German Nieppe salient with his re-
serves and doubtless bend it back. But
to do this while Won Hindenburg is so
ferociously Staying his own men. is
probably not General Fochs plan. Won
Hindenburg must be given all possible
freedom first for self-destruction.
