EXPECTS DRIVE AT VERDUN

Washington.-That the German drive
in France and the appointment of Gen.
Foch as generalissimo of the allied
armies, together with the offer of Gen,
Pershing to place American troops at
the disposal of the allies, have had a
tremendous and far-reaching effect on
American war plans was made evident
at the meeting of the war council with
members of the senate military com
mittee.
Reports given to members Of the
committee were said to be the most
satisfactory in many respects that
have been received since this country
entered the war. Members returned
to the capitol visibly impressed with
what they had heard and seen at the
meeting of the council.
They announced that full steps are
being taken to put the entire resources
of the American people into the war,
and that it seemed that the old 5000
miles away" attitude had been aban-
doned for a feverish haste to rush
troops to France.
While complete details of the meet
Ing were not given out by senators,
wen in confidence, it was asserted if
the plans Of the military authorities
go through developments Of extreme
importance in this country are to be
expected in a few days.
These developments, it is under
stood, refer to a newly made direction
to answer the appeal Of the allies for
men and to rush the national army
and national guard troops to the front
at once, disregardzng for the time be-
ing the shipping situation so far as
it relates to the transportation of food.
The ratio of food and munitions
ships to transports is said to be re-
duced materially, it is understood, and,
with the approval of French and Eng.
fish authorities, the sending Of troops
is to be the most important function
of this government in the next few
weeks.

The news that the force was to par

SANDS ARE TAKEN BACK TO
HOSPITALS IN GERMANY.
ALLIES READY FOR ATTACKS
Allies Bring Great Armies of Fresh
Troops Up to Bar Advances Of
Barbarlans--DeIay Working to
Advantage Of British.

War Correspondents Headquarters.
Our respite from massed attacks
since the last battle of Arras does not
mean that the enemy has abandoned
his ambitious plans to drive a wedge
between the British and French armies
by making a breach in the lines be-
tween Amiens and Montdidier and
Strengthening the line of his advance
to avoid a dangerous salient By over
whelming our left flank north of Ar.
lras. 1t is probable he is pausing only
to drag his guns across the wild waste
of the Somme battlefield, where there
is slow progress, to bring new re.
serves of men into the battle line, and
to prepare another blow as equal in
fury to the first effort as his means
now allow after his bloody losses and
heavy engagements with the French
armies on his left wing.
doubt whether his next effort will
reach anything like the strength of
that b~attering ram which shocked our
lines on March II. Since then his
wastage Of man power has been meal
culable, and every mile Of his way is
strewn with his dead. here and there
a few men, here and there heaps of
mortality. Backwards from the front
there has flown a tide of mangled
men, filling his hospitals and Red
Cross trains. Forty at least Of his
assault divisions have had to be with
drawn from our front after casualties
amounting in some cases as We know,
certainly to 40 to so per cent.
Many Of his companies and battal-
Ions have been almost annihilated.
Only = score or so of men going back
to tell the frightful tale to their peo-
pie. Our heroic rear guards foiled his
plans and smashed his timetable and
broke the ~spear-heads of his armies,
so that they had to turn aside in a
direction not belonging to the great
strategical plan of the German high
command. Arras is not his; Armiens
is not his. The British armies are
still intact, in spite of all losses of
men and ground and new French and
British armies are at his throat, ready
to rend him to death If he is for a
moment at their mercy The enemy
knows all this, but is playing for big
stakes, and their gamblers are ready
to throw in all their human counters
in order to win or lose the last haz-
ard. So they will not stop now, be-
cause If they stop they have already
lost, and they are waiting only to
gather their forces for the final throw.
But this delay is our enormous gain.
We, too, have had time to bring u
fresh men to replace those who fought
until they were spent and who barred
the way of the German advance with
their bodies and souls. The enemy
now, in his next battle, will meet men
who are not tired and whose resol1-
ton is as great as those who met the
first onslaught.

The BlOOdiest, Most HOrri=
BILE War the World
Has Ever Seen

The greatest battle of the world
has been in progress the past week
on the western battle front between
the allies and the enemy. Hun
dreds of thousands of lives have
been sacrificed, Germany losing the
greater number trying to break
thru the allied line. The allied line
is intact, however except at one or
two places where the enemy has
been able to get a temporary foot:
ing while the allies fell back a little
for better protection. Taken alto
gether Germany has failed miser-
ably and sacrificed heavily to break
through. Every day the allies get
in better shape and it is believed
the crisis has passed and that Ger.
many will not pass. Those up on
the war conditions think this is Ger
manys death stroke for failing to
get through the allied line her peo.
pie will rise and demand peace.
The location of the big German
gun that was shelling Paris rs miles
away was surprise to all, but will
amoant to nothing. 1t can't be
moved and it is believed already to
be out of service in fact frequent
shooting would seriously damage
the gun, experts say. 1t is simply
another thing Germany employed to
get lot of free advertising.
The Americans are fighting side
by side with France and England
