BRIrrsH ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE. May 81 tdelsyed).--We enter
the third month Of the great offensive In
a period OF suipense In which the silence
seems TO hang 80 heavily that one almost
can hear the strained expectancy OF the
armies waiting for the next move. Day
follows day. all full Of golden sunshine
and intense heat The guns thunder and
the skies are full Of aIrplanes. almost
like summer gnats It is as II one knew
that over to the eastward beyond the
horizon the banked thunder clouds were
already full to bursting. Hurst Of course
they will. but in the meanwhile the stlli
hot sunshine goes on and the suspense
becomes n thing almost tangible and
palpablc.
This Ia no time for boasing. but
rather for prayer. yet one may draw
legitimate encouragement from some
facts. Whether the Germans are salts
fed with what they have won In two
months by using up more than $50 diNi-
.
one can only guess. but surely no Ger
man ever would have believed on March
| 81 last that on the main battlefront from
! Arras southwark the German armies
T, would be no further advanced AT the END
~ two months than they were at the
end Of the first week Of fighting.
| Morlancourt where tho Australians
have been recapturing ground, was in
| German hands on March IS and our line
that night was further back at that
point than il is to-day. Nowhere on all
the main battlefront has the enemy made
appreciable progress since the beginning
OF April II has not been for lack OF
trying, as his frequent failures at VII
! lers- -Bretonneux about Albert, in Aveluy
Wood and in the Bouzincourt areas suf-
iciently testify.
Since then the enemy has made some
gains in the Northern area, with the
capture OF Kennel, but even there the
French are now gallantly heating him
back and gaining more elbow room
where we stand with our backs to the
second tier Of heights. Whether TN.
Germans are satisfied one cannot guess
but certainly our army has lost none
Of its heart; IL is fully awar" of the
seriousness OF what lies ahea0 and Il Is
prepared.
The operation OF ne French was ever
more successful than was reported yes
terday. The ground they gained was
useful: IT gives us "A more comfortable
