IN THE FIELD, Feb. 25.-(De-
layed)-Along the entire west
front from the junction with the
British to the Swiss border, the
French armies are now delivering
terrific raids day and night.
These are likely to increase in
number. size and importance until
the Germans either begin or call
off their pre-announced offensive
The present raids are different
from those last winter, being pre-
pared on a big scale with immense
artillery concentration and prep
aration. They are only distinguish

WAR PROBLEMS
RESULTS OF THE DRIVE

History students Will remember
that the Franco-German war of 1870
was decided by the battle of Sedan.
BY forced marches the Germans sur
rounded the principal French army,
and compelled its surrender. That is
the kind of thing they have been
working to do in their drives Of the
past three months. But 1t is differ
emit proposition. II 1870 the entire
French army included but 100000
men. Now our allies have at least q
100000 in France.
The one chance in sight for any
such complete defeat lies in pushing
the English near Amiens, and backing
them up against the channel. The
fact that the Huns did not attack at
this one point. where a real success
might seem possible, would indicate
that they did not dare to. It confirms
the belief that at this vital point the
English and French have fully ade-
Quate forces.
DiNih6 Nht dllISS DdCh I'LL 1.-Two
miles where they have open country
to fall back upon. makes no progress
toward surrounding them. The at
lacking party loses more men, though
It may make up for that by capturing
guns and other supplies.
The only thing to worry about such
an advance is for fear they might get
hold OF some important depot OF sup
plies. But 1t does not seem probable
that our allies would have any consid-
cradle portion OF their munitions
near enough the line to be in danger
of capture.
Arm chair critics blame the English
for not taking the offensive, and do,
ing to the Germans what Is being done
to the English and French. But as the
Germans, by reason of Russias de
lection, must outnumber the English
and French by 100000, this would b,
a hazardous gamble now.
No doubt there will be one or twt
more big drives of the same kind thI
summer. But by September l tn,
American troops will have made VI
the losses of our allies. The Hun!
will have had no means of filling theii
gaps.

SOARING US
TO DEATH

The only thing irregular about the
attack of the German U boats on our
shipping is that they failed to have It
come the same day they were making
their big drive in France. II will be
remembered that when they drove be-
fore on March 81, they began the
same day bombarding Paris with thier
75-mile gun, and started their subs"
on special attack, Their theory is
that by making these examples of
frightfulness all in one spectacular
attack, they can terrify the entire
world into submission.
The American people, however, are
used to bluff games. They have met
DULLES before. They refuse to be
turned from their purposes by efforts
TO scare them out of their boots. They
will not be bulldozed nor terrorized
The Germans should kee this crude
stuff for the easily fooled Russians.
There will be some shipping losses
o nthis side of the ocean, but they
need not be heavy. They will be
largely due to carelessness on the par
OF our sea captains. No doubt II the
u boats get thick in American waters
II will be necessary to have coastwist
merchant ships conveyed. and regu
larly patrolled lines OF navigation es
tabllshed.
The ships that are sunk will be
mostly those that recklessly think
they can ignore warnings and take
chanle In dangerous territory. The
transports carrying our boys will BIZ
practically safe, as there will BIZ
enough destroyers Mt least to watch
over their voyages.
Tho U.boatB keep carefully away
from our agile little war chasers The
transports that have been torpedoet
were those coming home, or in one
case off the north coast of ireland out
side from the regular course e
France. So let not the home folks
worry much on this score.
