WASHINGTON Confident
OFFICIALS WATCHING REPORTS
FROM FRENCH FRONT, BUT
OUTCOME Is NOT FEARED.
Tremendous Losses of Huns viii Pos
I sibIy Affect Morale of German Peo-
pie-offensive by 6attleships 10
Anticipated in Near Future.

Washington. since the war
began has the national capital turned
its mind so completely to the military
situation in Europe, but while there is
anxiety and uneasiness, the consensus
of feeling seems to be that Germany
has not accomplished enough In the
first hours of her offensive to disturb
the confidence of the allied peoples in
the ability OF their armies.
That the British and French would
lose considerable area through the
German offensive has been anticipated
and the effect discounted. But what
ever may be lost now will be to some
extent offset by the counter offensive
which teh allies have been planning
for the summer months. The situation
on the western front has long been
considered virtual deadlock by for.
eign officers detailed here. Many OF
them have suggested that even II the
German army broke through for gains
OF a few miles, the ground would be
so torn up by artillery fire as to make
It impossible to bring up Transports
ton facilities quickly enough to fol
low UP the advantage. The allies are
by no means lacking in men and ma
terials and though the Germans may
bend the entente line and even cause
a radical readjustment of the allied
defensive positions, hardly anyone
views the German move as likely to
affect the ultimate outcome of the
war itself. Rather 1t is expected that
the morale of the German people will
be weakened on account of the tre-
mendous losses which is being inflict.
ed by the allies.

London.-"Nothing we have heard
up to the present would lead me to
think that anything has happened
which could not have been expected.
There Is no reason to come to the
conclusion that things are looking
bad" Gen. Sir Horace Lockwood
Smith-Dorrien says in an interview
with the Weekly Dispatch.
Serious. but not alrming," sums up
the reception by London of the news
from the western front.
1t is pointed out that in battles of
such dimensions the attacking forces.
by the employment of troops regard
less of sacrifices, are nearly always
enabled to force first line positions.
The Evening News in its comment
on the situation refers to the failure
Of the British report to say anything
about prisoners, and adds:
''In the matter of figures our oppon-
ents have been notoriously inexact."
The military expert of the Westmin-
ster Gazette says that the Germans
began their offensive partly through
excessive egotism and also in desper-
alton.

FERocious ATTACKS ON WEST
BATTLE LINE BRINGS HOME
THE NEED OF ACTION.
REALIZATION OF MENACE
On Both Sides Spurs Officials to
Urgent Need Of Rushing Sup
plies Abroad.

Washington. Germanys stroke
against the west front drove nome to
the American capital a fuller and
graver realization than ever before
that America must increase the punch
In its war work.
1t served to spur rather than to dis
hearten the war workers.
The grimness Of the west battle line
only added to the recent determine
tion to push the struggle to con-
clusion. Officials here believe 1t will
arouse the nation more than aught
else has. They have known that peace
talk was being ditched; now they are
convinced that the nation will be
more unified, more determined than
ever before that the Hun menace shall
not hang over the world.
Taken all in all. military men said
point where they could make accurate
judgments of It's results. British re-
tirement near ST. Quentin and the Ber-
lin claim of capture of 25,000 British
by Prince Rupprecht's army were
deemed natural consequences Of the
ferocious onslaught by the German
hordes. But reports to date were not
such as to make the situation appear
pessimistic.
The number of men massed against
the British made the retirement es-
sential If the British did not wish to
sacrifice too greatly.
Moreover, the Germans manifestly
are prodigal of life and their losses
will be greater than any advantage
they gain, it is held.
They have already lost 225,000 in
killed, wounded and missing, accord
ing to British estimates, whereas the
British probably have sacrificed less
than half-probably $4,000 to 100000
in killed, wounded and missing.
The mass formation attack is bound
to cost the Germans enormously. The
game will not be worth the candle, in
military mems opinion, though they
all agreed 1t is still too soon to judge
accurately of what the Germans are
seeking.
There was little doubt that the real
offensive is on, but there is chance
that it will slacken and break out
again later.
The capital is being bombarded with
flock of wild rumors. German in
spiration was behind them in some
cases, it was felt, and the State De-
- to-. sr.rx-
ed that crop of Teuton propaganda
rumors of disaster was likely to flour
ish for time.

AMERICAN PATROL ATTACKS GER.

U. S. GUNS SHOW ACCURACY
Artillery OueIs on Toui Front and in
LuneviIie Sector Prove Accuracy
Of American Gunners-silenee
EmpIacement Battery.

With the American Army in France.
The American guns retaliated heavily
against the Germans. who dropped
more than 900 mustard gas shells into
q certain town within the American
lines. The American artillery work
was very accurate.
A patrol Of four Americans crawled
nearly mile, approached a German
listening post from the rear and
jumped on the German there, throt-
tling him befoye he had a chance to
make an outcry. They returned to
their line as quickly as they went,
bringing their prisoner with them. He
was put through an examination by
the intelligence officer.
The Germans launched heavy gas
attack against town in our lines to
the northwest of Toul. No wind was
blowing and the fumes of mustard gas
from shells hung low over the lines
for several hours. The batteries fir
ing the shells were located to the
right of Richecourt and our artillery
got busy with retaliatory shelling.
Our artillery dropped number OF
large shells into Joli wood and after
firing a few minutes secured direct
hits on the target, causing q tremen-
dous explosion. followed by dense col
umns of smoke as big enemy muni-
tions dump blew up. The first ex.
plosion was followed by two others
less severe. Our shells also made di.
rect hits In the enemy's first and third
line trenches.
The Germans again have been given
an example of the accuracy Of the fire
of our 17-millimeter guns. An enemy
machine gun emplacement which has
been annoying the Americans was 10.
Gated and the battery of little fel.
lows" as they are known along the
front, got into action, firing rapidly.
Another secured a number Of direct
hits and put the emplacement gun
crew out of commission. These small
guns, which are about the size of a
one-pounder are easily moved from
place to place, even in the trenches.
They also secured direct hits on the
junction of communication trenches
as men were passing and into the en-
trance OF the dugout which number
of the enemy were seen to enter and
from which smoke is issuing.

The British losses have been within
the bounds expected, due to the tactics
of the commanders. The allies have
lost a considerable number OF men In
prisoners. and a certain number Of
guns. But very few pieces of artil-

since the first day.
It is permitted to say now what
some have known for a long time,
namely, that the British never intend

are viewing the trend OF the German
offensive with optimistic eyes. Hard
fighting continues but the latest re-
ports showed little or no change in
the situation in favor of the enemy,
while on the other hand, the defend
ers had pushed the attacking forces
back after a bitter struggle and were
holding strongly along the whole new
front, to which they had withdrawn.
Fighting OF most desperate nature
has been continuous since the initial
attack, but so far the British have
used few troops other than those
which were holding the front line.
These shock troops have been max
ing as gallant a defense as was ever
recorded in the annals OF the British
army, and as result they have en-
abled the main body of the forces to
fall back deliberately and without con-
fusion. and occupy positions which had
Teen prepared long before the German
offensive began.
The Germans, ON the other hand, op-
Grating under the eyes OF the en-
peror and the crown prince have been

utter disregard for life. and have fol-

munications increasingly difficult.
More than so German divisions al
ready have been identified by actual
contact. and many of these men were
simply given two days rations and
sent over the top into the frightfuI
maelstrom made by the allied artil-
lery, machine guns and rifles. The
slaughter of the enemy infantry as il
advanced in close formation over the
open has been appalling.
