Germans Planning Blow
at North of Battle Line,
Drive Threatens Dunkirk
international News Service:

International News Service:
LONDON, May r6.-Renewal Of
German activity against the Belgians
at the extreme northern end of the
W estern battle indicates that a blow
il impending there, having the two
fold object of inhltrating southwark
along the North set coast menacing
Dunkirk, and OF driving in the
northern flank of the Ypres salient.
An Official report issued by the
Belgian war Office said;
In the night time an enemy party
that was attempting 10 approach our
advanced posts in the region OF
NieupOrt On the coast was dispersed
ty our fire.
There was moderate artillery ac-
tivity during the day i'm the sector
of Mercken and Boesinghe and to-
ward Nieuport."
Marines Join Germans.
The operation on the northern
line probab bly, will be carried out in
conjunction with Verging attacks
from the south, the Germans
striking from the KENNEL sector.
The Germans had been protecting
the Nieuport sector with a naval di-
vision composed of marines. But
these were transferred to the Somme
and took part in the German grand
offensive which began on March 2l.
The marines were badly cut up in
the fighting in front of Amiens.
The naval forces were replaced OF
the coast by landwehr, but recently
the landwehr were replaced by ac-
tive first line troops.
The Germans occupy favorable
positions among the dunes for an
attack over a five-mile front in the
Nieuport zone. which is hardly
enough for elbow room.
Between Nieuport and DiXmude
the country is flooded and there is
barrier three or four miles wide in
front Of the boches.
On the User canal the Germans
hold positions on the bank that they
captured in a surprise attack last
August.
Artillery il Active.
East Of DiXmude and between
Mercken and Boesinghe, almost to
the outskirts of Ypres. the German
artillery has become more active.
French guns that are supporting the
Belgian artillery are engaging in in
Cessant counter battery work, while
air activity is increasing on a SINH
lar scale.
The German war Office in its Off
cial report issued Sunday night said
that there had been no new develop
ments on the whole front.
The struggle may flare up any
where between Noyon and the North
sea coast momentarily. No sustained
bombardm ent of several days gives
warning Of forthcoming big scale
infantry attacks nowadays. Not since

life was saved by her navy and that the
military spirit is far from being de-
stroyed in Germany.
On the other hand, Americans, see
ing the turn of events, are saying, "Let
us get back to the Monroe Doctrine

less we want to see Europe, as soon as
her hands are free, mix in our affairs"
But the continuation of American in
tervention in European affairs on q

generous and ideal character and it's
comprehension of the future dangers, is
tremendous page in the history of
humanity. Anything that could weaken

change it's character would be verit4-
BILE disaster. Hence, it is only nee
essary to know what is already being

tente to be convinced that the discus
sion of the league of nations and the
freedom of the SEAS" because the dis
cussion of these questions is premature,
can only tend to weaken instead Of

The question Of reparation will
be decided only in principle and on

No police force capable of COM
pelling the Germans to pay their in

The German people will pay only
a very small part of the damage they
have caused and will keep the greater
part of the loot Of all kinds they have
stolen everywhere during the war.
Under these conditions the financial
situation Of the European Allies, and
Of France, would carry self
evident consequences. The cost of liv-
ing in France and England reaching in
tolerable proportions, industries could
not be reorganized, and Bolshevism
would be easily spread among the popu-
lations by Boche agents.

We will now examine the reasons

programme Dictated
L. by Common Sense

For many reasons, following the
French proverb, Don't put the cart be-
fore the oxen. Solve first the most
urgent practical problems arising from
the war, problems that must be solved
in order to bring an end to the suffer
ings of millions of human beings, suf-
ferings that have already lasted only
too long. 1t is easy to see in what
order these essential problem before
the conference should be put
The first is the reparation and resti-
tuition the German people must make,
both of objects stolen and material
damages caused. 1t is not justice only
that demands the immediate solution Of
this problem. It's solution is the single
condition of victory, as has been said
The peace will be durable and assured
only if in consequence of her enor-
nous thefts and war expenses Germany
will not be able to preserve an eco
nomic superiority over the Allies
The second problem, and which can
be taken up at the same time, is that
of the territorial reconstruction of Eu-
rope by the adjustment of frontiers
and by forming new states to raise a
barrier against the pan Germanists,
such states as Poland, Bohemia, Ru-
mania, the Magyar state and the Jugo-
Slav state.
The foblem of the league of ma
tons comes in the third place, but it
will then be in a position for more ia
vorable consideration. 1t is clear that
if the first two problems, reparation and
territorial reorganization, are satisfac-
torily cleared up by the Entente it will
be relatively easy to solve the third, as
the world, convinced by what the En-
tente will have done, will want to trans
form the Entente into league of ma
tons of greater extent by taking in all
the nations worthy of a place
Last comes the question of the "free-
dom of the seas" And by coming last
it has the best chance for success. II
is easy to understand that a real and
durable solution of that problem can
follow only from the extension of the
league of nations. Such an extension
implies a real disarmament in Europe,
but this disarmament can come about
only after Prussian militarism has
been absolutely destroyed. Land dis
armament having been accomplished. it
will be relatively easy to disarm on the
seas and from that will result the free
dom of the seas"
In short, when England can be as
sured OF not being menaced by any
Continental power she VIII have no
longer any interest in carrying the huge
burden of naval supremacy
This programme for the consideration
of the problems before the peace con-
ference is only an application of com.
mon sense. But it is indispensable to
assure victory that this order shall be
followed Therefore, public opinion
must demand that the league of ma.
tons and the freedom of the seas
shall be discussed only in their logica
place, that is, after all the urgent prob
lens growing directly out of the wa,
have found practical solution.

Questions OF Immediate Practical Importance Must Be

one group three-fourths of the people
of the world, proportion never before
reached in history?
Does not common sense tell us to
wait to see the results of this league
of nations that already exists before
creating another without knowing how
the one we have will function? No
engineer would think of building new
type of engine of 1000 horsepower
without knowing how an engine of the
