 New York, March 23.-After two days of terrific battling in the great offensive on the western front the Germans have succeeded in bringing action to one point and more into the open.
 General Haig reports the British defensive system west of St. Quen- tin has been broken through. The British here are falling back in good order. That the yielding of the line here possibly was foreseen as inevit- able is indicated by the statement that the retirement is to prepared po- sitions further west.
 There is nothing to indicate that the retrograde movement will affect the strong defensive lines to the north seriously. It is explicitly stat ed the British will continue to hold these positions.
 The battle front extends south to point where the French line begins with the town of La Fere. It is not known whether the French are in volved in the battle.
 Should the German thrust develop more seriously, the "army of Nance were," recently created, will be avail able to enter the battle. This, it is understood, is composed of troops of all the entente allies designed for ready action anywhere from the North sea to the Adriatic.
 The battle is still in progress on the British front.

GERMAN ARTILLERY IS HEAVY

Associated Press Dispatch. London, March 23.--A Reuter,s Correspondent at British headquarters telegraphs that the Germans forced their way into Mory, but were driveu out by flashing counter attack. A large party surrended or were cap-| tured.
 The correspondent says there is reason to believe that fifty German divisions are flowing into the strug- gle with probably half as many or more in close reserve. Under tho tre- mendous onslaught the British arc falling back very slowly and in esr- cellent order. At many places they are withdrawing voluntarily so IS to maintain the unbroken front.
 The battle front is extending sopth ward, the correspondent reports. It was reported this morning the French army was engAged. Most of the in- tense fighting appears to have been around Roisel and Trincourt. Tho slaughter of the enemy's ranks is ap- palling. Germans this morning wero pressing hard.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 | London, March 23.-The war officA announces the enemy has broken through the British trench systems west of St. Quentin. The British west of St Quentin this morning were falling back in good order to positions in the west. Very heavy fighting is l in progress. The British are holding their positions in the northern por- tion of the battle field.
 For the first time during the war on the western front since the oppos-| ing armies established themselves in trench systems, the defensive zone has been broken through. In other attacks the attackers were able to bend back their line but not strike through the zone of defense. Unless the British are able to re-. store the situation by counter attacks. the withdrawal along a wide front may become necessary, followed by open field warfare.
 The point of the British line brok- en is near the southern end of the German attacking front, which ex- tends from Arras to La Fere, fifteen miles below St. Quentin. Below this sector is a great arc front where the line approaching Paris turns sharply to the east.

seat of government the little nation S first thought was to express her grati- tude to the Commission for Relief in Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens.
 Germany, on the other hand, need not figure in such a map for Ameri- cans because there is no present indi- cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can care l for her own food problem if she is given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trou- ble centers.
 England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immediate needs, but their future presents seri- ous difficulties The same Is true of Spain and the northern neutral eoun- tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.
 Most of Russia is already in the throes of famine, and 10000 900 people there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thou sands of them inevitably must die. This applies as we'll to Poland and practically throughout the Baltic re-

A food map of Europe today shows not single country in which the flu ture does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- muiNed on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population.
 Belgium and northern France, as we'll as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different rela- ton from the other nations to the peo- pie of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief.
 The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more in her own

 Bohemia, Serbia, RouInania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering heavy 'oll of death. The Armenian popula- ton is falling each week as hunger takes it's toll, and in Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near AL though starvation is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Fur key are in the throes of serious strin- gencies.
 In order to fulfill Americas pledge in world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be ham, died through our ports. This means at the very least minimum of 10000, GOO tons compared with 6,000,00O tons pre- war exports and 11,S20OOO tons ex- ported last year, when we were bound by the ties of war to the European allies.
 If We fail to tighten the black spots on the hunger map or if we allow any portions to become darker the very peace for which we fought and bled will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy inevitably follow famine Should this happen we will see in other parts of Europe repetition of the Russian de bacle and our fight for world peace will have been in vain.
