LONDON, April 20.-After the ter
rife fighting Of the last fortnight the
battlefront seems unbelievably calm. 1t
is as if hurricane had swept over
Northwestern France, leaving the coun-
try battered, uprooted and exhausted.
The first phase of the great German
effort to reach the coast has definitely
ended. The spring rains and high
winds add to the discomfort of the at
tacking army and the defending forces.
The intervention of the elements is
welcome at this juncture. Only on the
southern portion of the Armentieres
front has the last day brought any
fighting, and here it was of a fitful
character. merely local engagements to
rectify the line or straighten the posi-
tion.
These small affairs around Robecq,
Givenchy and Festubert resulted in an
eminently satisfactory manner to the
British in every case.
Haig Builds New Defences
At the foot of the heights north of
Bailleul and along the ridges to the
east of the Ypres plain the enemy made
no fresh effort, but there is plenty of
evidence of activity behind his lines.
The same is true on this side. While
the enemy is drawing up his guns under
cover of the mist and night. the British
are building new defences, placing bat
teries and disposing troops.
From Italy the Anglo-French Allies
have received reinforcements; from the
Russian front the Germans have drawn
more divisions. Generalissimo Foch
expresses his satisfaction with the. sit
uation and declares: "We have ample
resources, and we shall do something
more" Which would indicate that
more will be heard of the reserves.

Enemy Fliers Downed

German airplanes, flying at a low
altitude, attempted to disorSanize
the American fighting men, but two
enemy aviators were brought down
and the others driven off.
The Germans suffered heavy cas-
ualties, and the American lines re-
manned virtually intact.
The attacking troops carried ra-
tions and entrenching tools, indicat-
ing that they intended to occupy the
American positions for long period
A heavy haze overhung the sector
when the attack began, but later
there was brilliant sunshine.
The American artillermen did
valiant work, the men on many of
the batteries wearing gas masks.
Foes Losses Heavy
The enemy's casualties are be-
lieved to have been the heaviest sus-
tained by them thus far in any oper-
alton against the American troops.
Numbers of German dead are lying
in No Mans Land, in front of the
American trenches.
The German airmen poured ma
chine gun fire into the American
troops, but the anti-aircraft batteries
came into play and American airmen
took the air, bringing down two of
the enemy planes and dispensing the
others. All the American airmen re-
turned safely.
No Americans were taken prison
er, but three Germans were capt
ured.
The correspondent viewed the bat
tie from hill short distance be-

bursting, throwing up clouds of
white smoke in the neighboring hills.

day.

nARlS, April 19.-In this anxious

Boche-killing defence of the

bids US with high hope cling steadfast-
ly to confidence in the outcome, we
must not lose sight of our very i'm

also has done some heroic fighting and
whose tortuous mountain line will be
next to feel the Hun weight.
In America we do not. realize what

war or understand her problems. To

Italy Cinderella
OF Allied Family
Candidly, Italy has been somewhat
rd r~
without fairy godmothcr for her re.
lief. Her appeals, her suggestions,
her urgent, patent needs, have long
been disregarded. Early in the war
she advocated cooperation for the vital
and then comparatively easy thrust at
Austria through Laibach-the open
road to Vienna recognized by Napo-
leon.
She likewise urged that the com
Sined aeroplane fleets Of the Allies
bomb the harbor enveloped Austrian
navy as the least costly and only di-
rect means of attacking enemy ships,
destroying the submarine and mine
base and opening the Adriatic to the
Allied descent on Trieste and freeing

Without avail Italy pleaded for the
heavy guns with which her foe was
amply supplied and which she needed
so sorely. And when the Caporeto dis
aster came, on October "a. it was part
ly for the wan. of such guns. partly
owing to the weakening influence Of
the Pope's fresh peace note, which to
simple minds seemed in accord with
the sentiments shrewdly and widely
circulated by German proparandists.
and partly to the lack of patriotism Of
some Of the political leaders and the
lack of energy of others which robbed
Italy OF the unity necessary to vigor-
Gus war-making.
