GERMAN GENERALS
 FROM EAST FRONT DIRECTING DRIVE

LONDON. March 2S.-The Daily Mails correspondent at the front says the offensive is being directed by the best of the German generals, who won the success in the east.
 The commands are now known" the correspondent says. ito be held by General von kathen in charge of the Peronne group; General Otto von Below, in the sector east of Arras, and by General von Hutier, south of St quentin. The two first named generals are probably the ablest commanders in the German army.
 Have Tried Commanders
 General von Kathen was at Ypres and on the Somme and at the battle of the Aisne in April 1917. Then he went to Galicia, conducted the opera tions against Tarnopol and assisted in the capture of Riga. General Otto von Below, who must not be mistaken for General Fritz von Below was in Rus sia during 1914-16 and did very sound work. Then he went to Macedonia where he is credited with saving the situation after the taking of Monastir, and thence back to France. Last Autumn he went to Italy.
 General von Hutier was the captor of Riga and is known to have laid his plans very carefully although in that event he had an easy job. In some re- spects the dispositions he made there were adopted for the purpose of the present offensive"

At the opposite end of the device is spool of waxed twine. which threads immediately into the awl when the awl is screwed into place.

 One of the American patrol entered the enemy trenches at o'clock this morning and remained there until noon The men searched for 600 yards lat- orally, obtaining much desired informa tion, but finding not a single German although the patrol party was fired on from another point. This daylight ex- ploit seems Co justify calling No Mans land on the American front "adyanced allied territory"
 Increased activity continues along the enemy line. Enemy wiring parties have been at work and much traffic has been observed in the rear of St. Baussant, where quantities If iron material have been unloaded. The road between St Baussant and enemy areas has been so heavily travelled in the last lew nights that deep road ruts now are visible from the American lines.
 American 37s fired 25 rapid shots into a large enemy work party and scattered the enemy, who left a num- Der of dead on the ground and carried away some wounded. American anti. aircraft guns have driven off numerous airplanes. Enemy batteries have again been subjected to gas shells.

WHEN PEACE SHALL BE
BY Arthur J. Matthews

Some day the blessed tidings will be
flashed around the world
That peace has come upon the earth
and wars dark flag is furled;
Oh, then in tones OF thankfulness, with
hearts that are aglow,
We shall look above and praise the
one from whom all blessings flow.
Well hear the bells of joyousness, in a
a grand, majestic chime,
Send forth the glorious message to tho
men in every cline;
And the people of our nation will unite
in one great throng
To raise their happy voices in an &c.
tasy of song.
'Tis then across the water we shall
send longing glance
Toward a ship that is returning with
our soldier boys from France;
And twill be a happy moment when a.
down the city street,
To the merry strains of music, comes
the sound of marching feet;
And we'll look upon them proudly as,
with Stars and Stripes above,
Our brave young lads go marching by
beneath the flag we love,
Fen though pain may grip our heart
strings as we notice in the line
The vacancies that possibly may
mean your boy or mine.
But true manhood will not falter, and
with loud, exultant cheers
Well extend them joyous greetings
through brave eyes that shine
with tears;
And we'll grip their hands and praise
them for noble victory
That unites world of people in free
democracy.
And for those who may be sleeping
In land across the sea
We shall cherish and forever hold a
sacred memory;
And upon our hearts engraven a sweet
image there shall be
or the men who made the sacrifice for
human liberty!
