GERMAN OFFENSIJE + GAINS ~ TIOLENCE
lLONG THE ENTIRE FRONT IN FLANDERS

There is no denying that the loss
Of KENNEL hill is "A considerable
tactical success for the enemy, and
IL will be well. therefore. to prepare
for the receipt Of other disagreeablo
news. If the enemy is able to extend
his grip on KENNEL we may be COM
PEELED to CvaCuate Npres. Such evaC-
uatiOn would not inevitably entail
the abandonment of Dunkirk, Calais
and Boulogne. but it is we'll to real
iZe that these consequences might
cnsue. We must remember that the
Germans cannot win the war by the
occupation of Npres and sthe Chan
mel ports.
The Evening News Ca NorthCliffC
papcr) said last night:
The capture of KENNEL hill un.
doubtedly is useful step i'm the
direction of Calais and Boulogne,
and it is frankly admitted that its
loss gravcly imperils lpres. We
hope and believe the Channel ports
will be saved. Yet VIC must face the
fact that their loss comes within
the range of contingencies to be
rcrkoned with, and we have already
made up our minds that, even if the
worst should come to the worst, it
will make no difference to our Wig.

ARMY OF 100000 MEN
EXPECTED BY HOUSE
Secretary Baker Due to APP
pear With Estimates for
Coming Year

"hNu'hSAOHs -NbA4l -
Secretary Baker is expected to ap-
pear before the House Military Com
mittee this week to furnish long-dclayed
estimates for the support of the army
committee is inclined 10 believe that i.
will be asked to appropriate for an
army Of approximately .3.Oo0.0OG men.
and that the Secretary will go into de-
tail concerning plans for the speedy
training OF additional forces and their
Dispatch to France.
The paramount question to hc decided
this week is the size Of the army for
the next year Of operauo.3. There will
also be raised the question whether it
is necessary to raise the drart age limit.
Representative Shallenberger, Neb. Of
the House committee. has announced
that he will seek Introduction in the bill
Of provision for the registration and
drafting of men up to forty years old
should Secretary Baker declare such an
amendment unnecessary at this time he
will not press It.
That it will be necessary for America
TO put large army into the field i'm the
next twelve months is the impression at
the Capitol.
In his first appearance before the COM
n1ittee. Secretary Baker said the trans
portation problem necessarily would
have an important bearing on the size
OF the army and 1t would he useless TO
call anG train more men than could be
sent across. The shipping situation, he
said, was improving steadily. and the
War Department was awake TO the duty
of sending men to Europe as rapidly as
they could be trained

maud itself can tell whether so far
the progress has been at a satisfactory
rate in proportion TO the losses.
We know the enemy is still pushing
in new divisions. 1t appears that in
the KENNEL Wytcshaete attack nine
divisions in all We're used of which
five We're new, namely, tae Thirteenth,
Nineteenth reserve divisions, and the
TiEty-siNth apd 233d divisions and the
Fourth Bavarian, the two first named
being at the north of KENNEL, the
Fifty-SXth at KENNEL itself and the
two last ON the south.
The French had against them near
IIangard one new division, as well as

est sign. therefore. that the Germans
are slaCkening uY beginning to regard
their resources Of men as other than
unlimited. At the same time, we
know that large drafts Of the 1919
class are now coming in to replace
the recent losses. The recruits of
this class last summer were found to
be so bad that they were taken away
from this front and sent to Russia.
