SELF-FLAGELLATION

fighting The original note of con-
fidence sounded from Washington gave
way to explosive irritability. The aero
plane inquiry was stirred up again when
General Wood, back from France,
raised picture of German planes
practically running wild over the Ameri-
cam trenches.
Even the Liberty motor was given a
black eye. Senator New seconded Cen
eral Woods plea for an army of five
million with demand for universal mill
tary training, saying that Americas
lack of preparedness had heightened the
war.
The storm burst loudly in the Senate
on the sixth day of the great battle
American pride, stung at being unable
to help stop the Germans, showed de-
sire to find goat" From aeroplanes
the hunt shifted to Secretary Baker. SEN
ator Sherman shifted the gears thus:
"When the Secretary of War returns
to his native SOIL" he said, Il trust that
in the light of bursting shells and the
roar of German cannon he will have
ceased in his heart to be pacifist."
Secretary Baker being out of range of
Senator Sherman's voice, the attack
went little nearer the heart of the Adj
ministration. Senator Fall, perhaps
mindful of the fact that the Overman
bill was still to be considered, said

time mentioned American units, saying
that they were driven back through the
forest district west of La Fere, along
with French and British troops.
A third announcement of American
troops in the battle came from London
on the sixth day of the battle At that
time Americans were again fighting
shoulder to shoulder with their allies in
the vicinity of Roye, between the Disc
and the Somme

mans themselves had previously devas-
tated, so that few natural obstacles
faced the advancing Germans.
Then, too, considerable doubt exists
as to whether the British were we'll pre-
pared with trenches as far back as the
Germans drove. British officers in
America are quoted as saying that the
British had fifteen miles Of trenches
ready, but the Germans went nearly
thirty miles. The loss of British guns
also suggests that trench warfare was
little followed after the Germans broke
through, though other reports saw tina.
the British had never intended to hold
their advanced positions permanently.
correspondent to one of the London
dailies, moreover, is quoted to the effect
that the men and tanks he saw one
afternoon were clearly not engaged in
trench warfare.
German Views
GERMAN views of the battle add an
extremely interesting touch TO the
news'of the week. First, the Germans
announced that very large part OF the
British army had been "beaten." Hin
denburg made congratulatory remarks
to the Kaiser, who passed these on to
his wife and others, while Hindenburg
was further decorated. In addition, the
Kaiser made himself the leader of the
German armies for the first time in the
war-evidently willing to claim all
credit for the victory" But on the
seventh day of the battle the franker
but less communicative Won Ludendorf
made an enigmatical remark. "a great
battle has been fought and victory has
been won,' he said, "but nobody can
foresee what will result from it,"
Coupled with this comment is a story
that before the drive the Kaiser and
Won Ludendorff quarrelled violently. 1t
is generally thought that the plan %
battle being followed is Won Luden-
dorf's, for it is we'll known that linden
burg is an Fastener"
The week ended with the British at.
lacking between the Somme and the
Ancre, while the French were giving
slightly toward Montdidier.
At this writing-the eighth day of bat
tle-the French have given up Mont
didier, greatly extending the German
salient down the Disc; the French have
attacked and made gains against the
German left flank at Noyon; new Ger
man thrust has developed around Arras
and Lens, and indecisive fighting con-
tinues along the Somme.

81 do not think the President himself
can be reached in any way except by
the knowledge that the people of the
United States are finally getting infor-
nation which apparently he has not yet
assimilated.'
Outside of Washington the irritation
was voiced in the utterances of Colonel
Roosevelt. Writing in "The Kansas
City Star" he said, in part:
England is at this moment fighting our
battles, just as she is fighting her own;
yet, although three years have passed since
the Lusitania was sunk and year since
Congress declared that we had formally
entered the war, America is still merely
an onlooker.
"We this ignoble position to the
folly and the representation of our gov
eminent and its inveterate tendency to sub
sttute rhetoric for action"
The seventh day of the drive, a criti-
cal one with the armies, saw another ex-
plosion in the Senate Again the Presi-
dent was target, being accused this
time of playing war politics in Wiscon-
sin. The airplane programme also came
in for closer scrutiny in the midst of Bit
ter personalities, greatly in contrast with
the unity reported from London.
To the man in the street the issue
was not so vague. He saw the enemy
clearly. To him the sole. need seemed
to be to kill Germans. So he tried to
enlist.

Strikes have ceased. recruiting has
sprung up, differences of opinion are for
gotten in the tension of what is felt to be
perhaps the browning battle of democ-
racy against the Hun.
What of Washington and America?
America, helpless to help bar the road
to Paris and the Channel ports, turns
in mood of self hagellation and wants
to know why preparations for war are
i.o.. going better. America watched the
bulletin boards and got SORE"
This new temper came with rush

the Germans desired to block a possible
Allied blow this spring. 1t is also sug-
gested that pressure at home was fore
ing the Hohenzollern dynasty to risk it's
fate upon the outcome of an immediate
engagement-an explanation which goes
far toward showing why Germany should
attack now rather than hold the de-
fensive and consolidate her gains in the
East.
Then, too, Washington reports such
double objective as this: If the Germans
win, they win the war; if they lose, they
show the Allies how difficult it will be
for the Allies to win in the same sort of
warfare.

was to start and were ready for it. At
five o'clock in the morning German
artillery blast of unprecedented intensity
commenced over fifty miles of front be-
tween Arras and La Fere. All manner
of shells, particularly those bearing gas,
were hurled not only upon tho British
first lines, but also far to the rear, cut
ting heavily into battle communications
Ranged twelve yards apart, thousands of
German guns of all calibres in five hours
completely cleared the way for heavy
infantry attack, which in the first day
of battle practically captured the entire
British line. Austrian and Bulgarian
troops and heavy Austrian artillery are
said to have participated in the prepar-
atoms and attack.

Strategy of the Battle

WHEN one has admitted the evident
purpose of the Germans to divide
the British army from the French and
ultimately capture of Paris, if not the
Channel ports, he has roughly outlined the
general development of the battle during
the first week. The battle of Picardy
might therefore be called the Battle of
the Hun Triangle" For, if one will con-
slider the line connecting Arras with La
Fere as the base of a triangle, and
Arniens, the great local objective Of the
drive, as the apex Of that triangle, it will
be seen that the German smash was
roughly directed toward the apex along
legs of the triangle-down the Somme
and the Ancre in the north, along the
Disc in the south.
Hence in the north the German attack
originated between Monchy and Cam
brai, its minor objective on the way to
Amiens being Bapaume. In the south
similar stroke started from St. Quentin
and La Fere, Ham being the minor OBJ

territory they recaptured slightly more
than all that was lost in the battle of
the Somme
On the other hand, German losses are
estimated at around 100000 men in
week, with the Allies losses under
100000. These estimates are corrobo-
rated at this writing by many details of
the battle.
The seemingly large losses of British
guns are ascribed in some quarters to the

German Detectives

THE German detectives have been
variously paraphrased in the past
weeks by Allied commentators. Clearly
the Germans desired to capture Paris on
the one hand and reach the Channel
ports or the other, by taking Amiens and
dividing the British forces from the
French. They expected to crush the
British army, which they felt could not
stand the test of warfare in the open, and
then roll back the divided Allied forces in
a monumental rout.
In addition, according to some critics,

Amiens as the goal
Progress of the Battle
T N A week the German attempt went
through the phases of an attack, a
partial break through, a slowing up,
and a check by Allied counter attack in
the north, while the Allies fell back
further in the south. Allied strategy
was ever to retreat in good order, Kill
ing as many Germans as possible. Ac-
cording to General Maurice, chief d.
rector of military operations at the War
Office, only twice in a week were the
British in critical danger. The first
time was on Saturday, when the Ger
mans crossed the Tortilles River and
nearly reached the line on the Sommc.
The second time was on Monday, when
.the Germans took Courcelette, raising
similar danger.
The German offensive was first slowed
up in the north after the Somme had
been crossed. Meantime the British
pivot at Arras held firmly In the south,
however, the German advance down the
north bank of the Disc compelled the
French to fall back from their lines
northwest of La Fere, giving up Noyon.
For days the Germans strove desper-
ately but in vain to divide the French
from the British in this region. Hence
the greatest German advance of the
week was made here-nearly thirty
miles.
The danger here was all the more
serious owing to the fact that the
French and British armies made laison
in the region of the Disc. Furthermore,
the British had only recently taken over
this sector, so that the defenders fought
on ground comparatively strange until
French divisions were thrown in to aid
Then, assisted by the river and the ridce
to the south, the French drove the Ger
man attack into a salient westward
Hence the farther west the Germans
went the more the French potentially
menaced the German left flank with the
Allied army of mannuvre.

Russia Starts Back
THE desperate conflict on the West
ern front against German domi-
nance finds a strange echo in Russia this
week. To the utter surprise of the AL
lied world comes the report that the
Bolsheviki have retaken Odessa from the
Germans after heavy fighting
Even in the Ukraine, whose Rada was
the first to sign a German peace, the
worm has turned and the greedy Ger
mans meet strong resistance in their at
tempts to seize food. No definite con-
nection is seen as yet between these ac-
tivities and the announcement earlier in
the week by Ambassador Francis that
the United States would support any
Russian element that would resist the
invader
Moreover, universal military service
will be the rule in Russia if Trotzky has
his way. The Bolsheviki are reported
organizing an army of 100000 men to
resist internal aggression Forces un-
der General Korniloff are reported de-
feated by the Bolsheviki.
The U-Boat Toll Rises
\ PPARENTLY making an increased,
effort together with his brothers on

materially increased his toll. The Brit
