tor OF lie Matin r leading French

There Is nothing bout 1T to shake
our confdance in The ability OF the
British to resist. said he. The
enemy viii not be abie to break
Through
These first gains OF ground and
taking OF thousands OF prisoners look
serious in the headlines of our papers
Bnt experience has taught us that
trey are the inevitable results of an
offensive whether begun by Germany
or by ourselves The Immediate re-
suits Of the present offensive are
such as were to be expected
The only difference between this
drive and other German ofFens'yes -
that this is on a larger scale In
stead OF affecting a ten or twenty
mile front. IT covers forty or fifty
miles But the outcome win be the
same, II will be the case OF yerdun
Hno the Chemin Des Danes all over
again. In few days the Germans
VIII be halted
One OF the best onaens for the
allies Is that the kaiser himself is
at the front. II win be remembered
that the Germans near Verdun made
much OF the ksfser's presence at
Nancy and that he ordered holiday
throughout the country for the school
children when the first ground WAS
taken. But Verdun Is still In the
hands OF the French.
S'nce then there, is nothing that
makes the French $50 cheerful as 10
read that the kaiser lis at the front
when~a great offensive is to be I'M
dertaken."
