ALLIES AWAIT DRIVE

Washington. D. c. March 11.-Noth.
ing has developed to indicate that the
Germans have abandoned their plans
for great offensive in the west, says
the war departments weekly review
of the military situation. Meanwhile
the allies, the statement continues,
have taken an alert defensive and are
content to let the enemy break him
self against their impregnable line.
The review discloses that the prin-
cipal sector occupied by the American
troops is four and a half miles long
and it emphasizes that the Americans
hold trenches at four separate points
on the French front.
Germany's sweep into the heart OF
Russia is seen as another futile at
tempt to shift the center of the war
from the western front.

NATIONAL SONG WEEK
To Be OBSERVED HERE

Among the good things that it is
hoped America will gain as result of
her participation in the worlds con-
flict is an ambition to attain higher
ideals. That she is reaching out for
better things is apparent in many
ways, and among the things she is
striving for is an appreciation of
music of the better sort. One of the
indications that this is true is her
ready response to the purposes of,
and participation in the National Week
of Song, a week that has been set
aside for renewing acquaintance with
the best of our songs of by gone days,
and the best of those that are new
The week is that one of February of
each year in which Washington's
birthday occurs. The event is not a
holiday or series of holidays in which
to feed gross appetites, but an occasion
when, without interference with regu-
lar duties, we feed our spiritual, intel
lectual, and artistic selves. 1t is also
time when all may participate in
singing the songs we all love to sing,
the songs that truly express our senti,
ments, our love, our devotion, and OUT
alteration. Really, there is nothing
that permits so full an expression of
or emotions as music. Even the per-
son who is unable to produce harmony
aspires to make Joyful noise" as an
expression of the happiness within
him. The boy on the street whose
whistle is out of tune and CRATES on
the ear has music in his soul which
he is trying to express to the world
about him.

GERMAN EXPERT
FORSEES DEFEAT
FOR HUN U-BOAT

LONDON, June 27.-German u
boats are unequal TO the warfare
against them, is the virtual admission
Of Captain Persius, the naval critic
of the Berliner Tageblatt, says a
Rotterdam dispatch to ,the Daily
Telegraph. Captain .Persius writes.
Every layman knows that U-boat
losses are unavoidable owing to the
continually Increasing sharpness and
effectiveness sof the defensive meas
llres of the enemy, which perhaps viii
further increase as the war progress
es.
IT is scarcely to be denied that our
enemies are both carrying on the war
and living and that it will be pos
sible for them to, defend themselves
against tonnage needs for long time
at any rate. From the beginning Of
the U-boat war Il was a mistake. Oft
en- committed by us. to underestimate
the resources of our enemies"
