the enemy advance until reinforce
ments could arrive and our faithful
ally could enter into the battle, the sit
uation is now improved. The struggle.
however. is only in its opening stages

can yet be made.
with the cordial cooperation OF the
British and French commanders In
chief, General Foch has been charged
by the British. French and American
governments to coordinate the action
OF the allied armies on the western
front.
1T is clear that, whatever may hap
pen In this battle. the country must
be prepared for further sacrifices to
insure final victory. l am certain that
the nation will shrink from no sacrt
flee which Is required to secure this
result, and the necessary plans are
being carefully prepared by the gov

GREAT PILES OF BODIES
STRIPPED ON FIELD. AND BOOTY
RUSHED TO REAR.
German Prisoners Amazed at Small
Losses of AlIiees Compared to
Whole Divisions of Teutons.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Rega the losses
sustained by the Germans in the bat
tie in Picardy an official dispatch
from France said:
Although as yet our information is
very incomplete it is certain that the
German losses in the battle of the
Somme have been enormous. Prison
ers questioned on March %, reported
for example, that the Eighty-eighth
division of infantry was almost com
pletely annihilated and that the Two
Hundred and Sixth division suffered
heavily. The losses are chiefly due to
the machine guns which, installed
with determined men in shell holes,
enemy formations.
''The bodies of both friends and en-
emies are stripped as soon as possible
by the Germans and left entirely nude.
The booty thus obtained by seizing
the equipment and clothing Is collect
, ed and sent to the rear So great is the
scarcity of clothing and leather.
'The prisoners when questioned do
not conceal their amazement at the
very small number of English and
French dead which they passed In the
course of their progress. Finally they
admit the great surprise of their COM
mand in the resistance of the allied
troops. They had, in fact. promised
them all would be over in few days"

|. Ottawa. April 3.-The following dis
patch was received here from British
headquarters in France: Yesterday
was the quietest day since the often
siye began. excepting for the tireless
activity OF our airmen, who continued
to harass the enemy along the front
and miles to the rearward. 1t should
be remembered that in consequence OF
the salient the enemy have extended
their front about thirty miles and pro-
lection against attacks means drawing
largely on their reserves. The AIS
tralians are participating in the battle
in considerable numbers. The quality
of the reinforcements which have ar
rived from England is highly praised
The comparative rest of the last few
days has recuperated our troops, who
are ready for further eyentualities.
The most trying feature of sustained
operations is want of sleep. Inciden-
tally, our airmen are curtailing to the
utmost the slumber of the Germans"
Berlin.-The communication issued
by the war office Monday evening
says: There Is nothing new to re-
port"
London.-The war office in its an
nouncement Tuesday evening says:
THE day passed quietly on the British
front. There was no serious fighting
on the French front" The report from
Field Marshal Haig's headquarters in
France says: Except for minor en-
terprises which we carried out in the
neighborhood of Serre and as the re-
suit of which we captured a German
post, the day passed more quietly on
the whole battle 'front.' In the sector
between the Avre and Luce rivers
Monday the British took fifty prison
ers, the war office announces. Thir-
teen machine guns were captured.
Near Hebuterne the British made a
guns and prisoners German coun-
ter attack was repulsed.
The fighting between the big guns
was particularly heavy between Mont
didier and Noyon, where the battle
line bends eastward, and which is q
danger spot of great Importance to the
Germans. the penetration of which by
the French would necessitate a rapid
withdrawal of the Germans eastward
from the Amfens sector.
Although the Germans have been
bombarding British positions in Bel
GUM, particularly at Passchendaele
and along the Goeberg ridge, north
east Of Ypres, there is no indication as
yet that an infantry attack is contem-
plated. In addition to a continuation
of their bombardment of Paris with a
Iong-range gun, the Germans have
again endeavored to drop bombs on
the French capital from airplanes.
Two squadrons of aircraft early Tues
day morning attempted to reach Paris
but the French barrage held them off.
While the battle of Picardy halted.
Tuesday in lull that may only fore
shadow the breaking of new and
more terrible storm, American troops
were fastening to join in the fray with
their French and British comrades.
