French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1918-04-25
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

At the end of another week of the
most Sanguinary battle the world has
ever known, the British army was still
undestroyed, its lines still unbrOken.
Overwhelmingly O~utnumbered in Flan-
ders, Haig's men were forced to give
up some important positions, and east
of Ypres they withdrew from the bulg-
ing Passchendaele salient before the
enemy observed the movement, and
Strengthened and shortened their de-
fensive line so that it was much
stronger and more secure. Meanwhile
French requirements arrived to as
sist the British, the commanders hav-
ing decided that the Flanders offensive
was not merely a diversion. To the
south, on the Somme and the Aisne,
the French had been stoutly repulsing
every attack, and 1t was predicted
that the time was a when General
Foch, the allied commander in chief,
might be expected to start his counter
offensive. Though they were still
tie, 1t was figured the Germans must
be approaching the point Of exhaus-
ton, when a return blow would be
most effective. Indeed, it did not
seem this blow could be much longer
delayed, for the British, though their
spirit and courage were undiminished,
were sustaining continuous attacks by
an enemy which was immensely superb
or in numbers and was under leaders
whose disregard for life was utterly
reckless.

Any hope that the relations between
Germany and Hungary might
be disrupted by the exposure Of En-
peror Charles letter concerning peace
and the French claim to Alsace-Lor-
raine was dispelled by the appointment
Of Baron Burian as minister Of for
eign affairs to succeed Count CZernin,
the Official goat. Burian is recognized
IS a firm supporter Of the policy of a
continued alliance with Germany and
the press Of both Austria and Germany
assert that the cOuntry's foreign pol
icy will not be changed by him. DR..
Won Seydler, the Austrian premier,
was emphatic in stating the same view,
and said those who looked to the en-
tente for salvation would always be
regarded and treated as enemies of the
state. In this category he must in
clude many of the people of Bohemia,

The figures compiled by the inter-
state commerce commission, show the
railroads during the first six months
of government control produced a de
felt of 1920, 600, 600. This deficit
is largely due to the increase in sala-
ries allowed by Secretary McAdoo.
ThisSincrease in labor cost, as report
ed by about three fourths of the first
class railroads amounted to $133, OOO-
600. And this deficit was produced
in spite Of the increase in amount of
traffic as compared with previous
years, and an advance of about Is
per cent in rates. When the war is
over the labor Unions will hardly be
able to point with pride to any great
sacrifices that they have made to help
win the war.
