Germany's mighty effort on the bat
tie field Of Flanders has won new sue
cesses. According to the latest reports.
the important strategic towns OF Bail
leul, Wulverghem and Wytscna etc are
in German hands, and, more important
still. the Teutons have carried large
part OF Messines ridge by storm.
Probably there has been no more

No New Attempts
The Germans have not attempted to
advance their wedge further into the
British lines. for no new attacks on

leul Messines ridge is the key to the
Ypres sector and it's possession will

British Line ENDANGERED
The successes of the Germans in
the east have an important bearing
on the campaign on the northern bat
tie front. If they are continued there
must be a British retirement from
Ypres and possibly for some distance
further north, while the cutting of the
railroad passing through Hazebrouck
would be still more serious for the
British.
So important are the points won
by the Germans that the British must
be expected to counter attack at once
in an effort to sweep the invaders back
into the low lands once more. All &C

With the British Army in
France, April l6.-(By Associat-
ed Press. 1.-The town of Wyts-
chaete, lying on the crest of a
blood-stained ridge at the north
rn end of the new battle front,
and Spanbroekmolen which nest
les on the top of an elevation Just
southwest, were today stormed
and occupied by large German
forces. Meanwhile, fresh enemy
troops were ba1tering hard at the
British, west of Bailleul in an attempt
TO continue their success OF last night
and break through TO HaZebrouck.
Grim fighting has been going on
since morning and wei into the after
noon there had been no cessation in
the intense struggle.
A little further south terrific artil-
lery duel has been in progress along
the zone between La Bassee canal and
Robecq, but whether this presaged

The Bright Side.
These facts may seem somewhat
grim in the reading, but they have
their brighter side The Germans
have won new ground at a great cost
of life, and there is no dimuntion in
that magnificent spirit which has been
holding against the enemy invasion
since Auril 8. There is absolutely no
tagging of the faith among the oftic-
ers and men along this front in their
ultimate victory.
No more gallant defence has been
recorded since the war began than
that now going on and while further
sacrifices are expected and even furth
err loss of ground, no doubt exists on
the British front that ultimately the
allies will come into their own when
the German side has spent it's fury.

1t must not be forgotten that thus

the gallant French allies, the Ger

Baked in their plans at the outset,
the enemy shifted and struck heavily

NEEDED IN RUSSIA
Because American troops would create
less friction and misunderstanding in
Russia than the troops of any other ma
ton it is entirely possible that the sign
ing of an armistice and the opening of
a way through Germany may mean the
Immediate dispatch of an American
.orce Of considerable size from the

quer or subdue Russia In any sense of
the word. They would be there for the
primary purpose of seeing to II that

ably the greatest that now confronts

All signs indicate that American

troops are to be used in Russia. and
their use there would prevent general
rehabilitation until such time as order
had been completely restored within
Russia. or al least until such time as
responsible government was ready TO
take over the management Of things.
These three factors enter into the
present situation. StIl another affect
ing the future policy of this nation
looms on the horizon. This is the ques-
ton Of universal service or universal
training. and the question or the forma-
ton of a standing army to take the
place of the old standing army.
1t viii be remembered of course. that
every American soldier, including the
members OF the so-caIled regular army
enlisted for the period OF the war only.
and that when the war is over enlist
ments viii expire. The army will not
then have single enlitsed man except
those who are willing to re-enlist at
once under tho terms Of the existing
army act.
PEACE TIME ARMY BASIS.
The congress undoubtedly will have 10
proceed soon with the question OF the
formation of a peace-time army and in
doing 50, the question Of universal serv-
ice or universal training will automati-
cally arise. If The sentiment of the
country is now gagged correctly. some
sort of universal plan will be put in ef-
feet. The President as understood yet

The general staff and probably a ma
jority OF the congress. however. favor a
universal training plan and it is prob
able that the Sixty-sixth congress will
enact some such sort of lazy. This will
mean. undoubtedly. that the troops OF
certain ages. somewhere around twenty
or twenty-one Will be kept in the army
for a time. probably as the nucleus un-
der which the new law will be put into
operation.
In addition to all these things. the
question of rehabilitation itself is al
most great a one as the question of
raising an army. There viii be a strong
sentiment. undoubtedly. for the immed-
late return of the soldiers who have
been overseas a year or more and for
their replacement by troops who have
had no overseas service. This senti-
ment may result in continued calls for
drafted men even beyond the period
when prospect of resumption of hos.ili-
ties fades away entirely.
According to responsible authorities.
the public need not expect any i'm
mediate troop movement of consequence
back to this country. The movement
will be a gradual one it will take
long time to get started and a longer
time in which to be accomplished. Some
have estimated that rehabilitation may
take a year. but the idea OF army Of
icers is that a year is entirely too con-
sentative as an estimate and that II
may take a year and a half to restore
this country TO normal basis as far
as the armies are concerned

Any druggist can supply you with
