LONDON, April 25.-What is Amer
war efforts in Allied and neutral coun-
tries. That is question which needs
immediate attention by the govern
ment.
When America was just breaking
into the war the European press car
ried columns of American advertising,
but unfortunately it was not guaran-
teed. Stories Of $4,000 airplanes sail
the spring of 1918, Of 100000 SOL
dicrs marching toward the Rhine, of
submarine chasers being turned out
like matches, or concrete and wooden
ships being launched as rapidly as ca
noes, sounded good to Allied ears and
established an American reputation
for hustle
Now along comes Sir Sydney Low
and, with the reputation of an Amer
lean authority, tells The British public
only pne American airplane is in
France and that Great Britain and
France must bear the burden of the
war for a considerable time.
Allied People Beginning to Doubt
He is only one OF many who are
spreading gloom in the Allied coun-
tries. Not half Of the criticism Of the
shortcomings Of the Administrations 8
war preparations is known on this
side, but there is more than enough to
make the Allied peoples doubt whether
America is entitled to reputation for
hustle.
If it were not for the Presidents in
spring speeches and such deeds of
sacrifice as the brigading of American
troops with the Anglo-French forces,
the Allied peoples would express keen
disappointment in their Western ally.
American officials excuse themselves
by stating that tho information would
prove valuable to the enemy. There
fore any extravagapt guesses can be
MADE and published, such, for instance,
ns the announcement of $4,000 air
planes. But Great Britain long ago
realized the failure she had made in
publicity, and she has been striving
desperately to make good her early
mistakes. 1t took year to get the
Admiralty to publish the tonnage
losses.
America has great number of de-
stroyers and other fighting ships in
european waters, and the Germans
know 1T perfectly we'll. But how much
DO the British. French and American
peoples know about tho valuable and
thrilling work they nre doing?
American troops arc coming across

drive, which appears to have had an
initial success.
Two Thrusts at Once

This is the first time since the open
ing of the spring campaign that two
major thrusts have been made by the
enemy simultaneously. In neither case
has the battle reached a point where
it is possible to estimate the success
of the operation. but apparently the
British and French troops are offering
more stubborn resistance on the front
of Amiens than the Germans have en-
countered hitherto.
Though the Guards and a division
of Bavarian troops were thrown in after
the terrain had been shelled with ea.
plosive gas shells and some tanks were
employed, the Allies were able to
counter attack during a pause and re-
gain some of the ground lost in the
first rush, which carried the Germans
right through Villers- s-Bretonneux and
into the woods beyond
Allies Still Strong
This is highly encouraging, showing
that the Anglo-French army still has
punch after the long and bitter punish
ment it has suffered Though the
thrust has the appearance of local
attack, it is likely it is preliminary
and part of more ambitious attempt
to reach Amiens.
Meanwhile the northern battle has
developed second phase. There
Ludendorff is trying to break through
to Ypres by concentrating his attacks
on KENNEL. The French are CO.
operating with the British in goodly
numbers on this front.
During the last week the enemy has
brought up many heavy guns in the
neighborhood of Wytschaete, but the
British and French hold distinct ad-
vantage, as their positions overlook
the whole countryside and KENNEL
lends itself to defence.
Must Take KENNEL
Midway between KENNEL and Wyt-
schaete the ground is less than half
the height of KENNEL, but unless KEN
mel is stormed it would be impossible
for the enemy to debouch to the Ypres
plains.
The situation is too obscure to give
any details, but it is apparent that the
Germans are making a desperate at
tempt, not merely diversion.
Last nights blow at the French from
southwest OF KENNEL met with q sharp
reverse, though the Germans used gas
shells lavishly before going into action.
This mornings attack was also pre-
ceded by gas barrage, while the troops
went over a couple of hours later.
Aside from the two great battles
there was some minor activity around
Festubert and Robecq. Though on
Tuesday night this portion of the
Armentieres front was violently bonn
barded, infantry actions did not de-
velop.
According to the latest German fig
ures, they claim the capture up to
April 81 of 117,000 prisoners, 1,70O guns
and several thousand machine guns
These figures are greatly exaggerated
on the authority of British officials

The Germans appreciate the impor-

worth telling to our Allies, and it will
