Hindenburg has won his most important victory in
the Flanders drive through the capture of Baieu and
abandonment of Wulverghem.
AS he drove his wedge westward between the Ypres-
Confines and LaBassee canals Baleul became the key
to Mesnes ridge and the Ypres salient the north and
to Hazebrouck the west
Bailleul is located midway between Armentieres and
Hazebrouck, on sharp bend in the railway between
those two cities It is seven miles and half east of
Hazebrouck and about eight miles southwest of Ypres
The Messlnes ridge which is the strongest defensive posi-
ton IN all Flanders westward from the village Of
Messlnes past Wulverghem to KENNEL distance of
about three miles, 1t is about mile and half wide and
on its eastern face runs northward to Wytschaete
This ridge is practically impregnabe from the east and
only slightly less difficult from the south north One
OF Hndenburgs main obectves in Flanders has been to
work around to the west of this ridge and assault the
British positions there from the rear
The abandonment of Wulverghem which is four miles
and half east and slightly north of Baeul on the Douve
river, gives Hndenburg hold in the southern foothills
OF the ridge The tenabity of this position itself is
questionable. But from Wulverghem and Wytschaete he
can keep the British occupied the southern and east
ern edges of the ridge while he strives to swing back
northeastward from Baeu against the western edge of
the ridge
In the event that Messnes ridge should fall only
miracle of British grit would Ypres which never has
been in German hands.
The fall of Baieu also opens the westward road to
HazebrOuck the most important railway and highway
center in Flanders The Germans already have reached
Meteren, Merris and VeuxBerquin, three towns on a
north and south line, mile and half apart Vieux-
Berqun is only four miles east of Hazebrouck Meteren
is a mile and quarter due west of Baileu.
In addition to the fall Of Baleu and the abandonment
of Wulverghem Haig reported fighting in the neighbor-
hood Of Wytschaete and southwest of eux-Berquin

SAYS CONDITION is
SERIOUS FOR ALLIES
DANGEROUS FOR HUNS
Expert Says There Is No Rea-
son for Present Alarm
May Be Death Traps
By ]. w. T. Mason

(Written for the United Press)
New York, April 16.-With the cap
ture of Bailleul and the isolation of
Wulvergham by the Germans, Won Hin
denburg has brought his forces at
tacking Ypres to the very base of the
hills in which are located the principal
British defenses protecting the Ypres
lowlands to the rear.
Hitherto the Germans have been
fighting along comparatively level
ground. They now enter upon what
ought to be the most difficult part of
their task. If Hindenburg continues his
effort to reach Ypres, he slaughter of
his troops as they attempt to advance
through the hills may well become unprc-
cedented even for. the present man-kill-
ing drive.
The loss Of the two towns is a serious
matter for Marshal Haig. chiefly be-
cause the British are now compelled to
fight in their final defenses to save
Ypres. Bailleul's former value as an inn
Eortant center of communications had
disappeared with the German advance
within artillery range several days ago.
Wulvergham s importance as a defenr
sive outpost for the highly important
Messines ridge positions was seriously
ieopardized when the Germans captured
Neuve- Eglise yesterday. Messines ridge,
three miles north of Wulvergham, still
remains in British possession as do the
hills forming a convex crescent shaped
natural fortress Immediately north of
Bailleul.
Since Hindenburg has resolved to con
tinue his reckless slaughter of man
power in this sector of the front, it is
better tactics for the British to retire
wholly to their defenses amid the hills
than to continue the bloody game on
level ground.
The hills defending Ypres may take
their place among the most terrible
death traps in history. There is no rea-
ish retirement while the situation is un-
son for present alarm in the slight Brit
ouesionably serious for the allies, it is
capable of becoming well night fatal
for Hindenburg.

Baker said here today on his arrival
from Europe.
"The things have seen on the other

Baker spoke highly of the morale of

The secretary was accompanied by
his aides, General William Black,
chief of engineers, and Colonel NJ. L.
Brett, and by his secretary, R. A.
Hayes. He went directly from the
steamer to the railroad station and
boarded a train for Washington.
Baker iEtimated that the American
troops in France were very eager to
get into the fighting he sid they
don't want to see any Americans over
there unless they come with guns on
their shoulders, ready TO right their bit

American trenches, he asked a sergeant
for match. The latter told him to cap
ture another German and he would get
it.
"The private thought he had already
earned it, but he went out into No
Man Is Land again and soon returned
with six footer-18 inches taller than
himself"
The Germans are equipped with new
trench daggers, six inches long and with
double edges. The enemy troops are
husky and average about 1s years Of
age.
The Americans are smaller but appear
tougher.
The Americans are laden with "Gott

This Means That Ships For

OBJECT is TO INCREASE
Size OF SUPPLY SHIPS
This Change Made In the Face
Of An Admitted Shortage
Of Steel

Washington, April Is. = Chairman
Hurley cf the shipping board today
went directly to President Wilson in
an effort to defeat delays in ship
building due to a shortage in fabri-
Gated steel.
He called at the white house short
ly before the cabinet meeting with
Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board
and Charles M. Schwab, of the Bethle-
hem Steel company.
Faced with an admittedly serious
shortage in fabricated steel, officials
of the shipping board started today to
unravel the transportation and mill
ing tsngle which is held responsible
for delay in building.
The shipping board holds that it
must have steel at once or see the ship
yards closed because of material short
age. At the same time, Director Gen
eral McAdoo has called for steel for
100000 cars and 5000 locomotives, and
the war department has made known
its steel demands will constantly grow
heavier.
Officials of the shipping board stat
ed that wherever possible wooden
shipyards will be converted into steel
assembling yards.
This does not mean that no more
wooden ships will BS built, but the
ships for transatlantic trade hereaf
ter will be of steel. 1t was explained
that probably private plants would

SOCIALISTS AGREE To-
STAND 100000 LOSS
Plan Annexation and Indenl-

By Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, April 16.-Germany IL
prepared to waste more than 100000
lives in the west front offensive, ac-
cording to information here today.
The socialist and militarist leaders
are understood to have conferred before
the drive began, reacnlng an under
standing that the radicals would not
interpose any objections so long as the
casualties did not exceed the 1,500,0O0
mark. But beyond that the socialists
were not prepared to stand for the reck-
less use of "cannOn fodder" it was
said.
The military leaders were understood
to have pledged that they could achieve
their purposes without incurring such
casualties, though lately they have been
inclined to warn Germany that all gains
of terrain have been at frightful cost.
The nation was informed that the Of
fensive would succeed and thas she
bloody dreams of the plunderbund would
be realized. Behind these pledges lies
the explanation of the sudden ssrapping
Of peace talk, according to adviccs here.
Hindenburg and his officers were
cock sure in their talk, Tho British,
army would be annihilated and Ger
many,s path to peace, with annexa-
tions. with be accomplished.
Germany Stakes AL
The government has positive informa-
tion that "staking everything on the
west front drive is no empty phrase
with Germany. The use Of mon " waves
moved down as grain before the reap
er-is one evidence Of the Teuton pro-
gram. The fact that Germany does not
object is due, it is now believed, to
pre.offensive agreement and tho Ger
man belief in the military-mad leaders
word that victory is ahead.
Germany has shunted aside ia" releh-
stag resolution of ono annexatinns,
no indemnities quite openly now.
Zurich dispatches today said the PAN
German organ, the Taglische Runds-
schau revealed the new stand.
Count Hertling, the paper said, threat
ened the socialists that he wonid resig"
if that platform were followed.
Thereupon the majority factions as
cepted the imperial government riah'
which includes:
Annexation Of French territory.
incorporation Of the Belgian coast ot
Flanders into Germany.
PAYMENT of q large war indemnity oy
the western powers to Germany.
Tncidently it appears that Go'many
is hoping to collect indemnity from Sm-
erica and her leaders are doing all IN
their power to make the boches believe
America s part in the war will be mea-
or.
Hertling is reported to have broken
with Erzberger, the centrist leader.

GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR

That some complaints of German
food and camp conditions have come
from American prisoners in Germany
became known today. Some of the men
reported they did not have enough
blankets, while others said they were
given either poor quality food or lit
tie of it. International law requires a
nation to feed its prisoners as it feeds
its own soldiers. This Germany is not
doing, though the United States is
scrupulously observing that regulas
tion. Now, America purposes that the
interned sailors and other prisoners
already on hand and the U-5S men
coming here shall work for their

To relieve American prisoners in
Germany from poor or insufficient
food, the United States government
has established the same system as
the British, feeding the prisoners her
