WITNESS OF DRIVE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
THE British artillerymen and
machine gunners as well as the
riflemen fired their weapons until
the barrels was too hot to shoot or
the water for cooling was boiling
or until ammunition gave out.
But the enemy advanced in such
dense masses. 1t was impossible TO
kill all. The Germans sprang many
surprises in addition to the long
range gun that bombarded Paris.
The intensity of the bombardment
which drenched the British position
in preparation for the drive was
new and dealy. They cut barbed
wires and levelled the British
trenches.
However. British gunners worked
for hours despite the handicap OF the
gas masks which they had to keep on
to protect them from the new gas the
enemy spread. Our infantrymen sac
Tificed themselves heroically doffing
their masks until they fell dead.
Without the masks they were able to
shoot faster into the thick advancing
enemy.
Sheer weight OF men and metal
caused the breach in the British lines.
II Is impossible to conceive the trem-
endous numbers of troops engaged
and the density OF the bombardmef1ts.
| traversed the rear zone and found
preparations under way for organiz-
ing defenses there.
Fortunately we were prepared for
this affair, having evacuated our field
hospitals in readiness to receive the
wounded arriving from the scene of
the terrific combat.
II found that Paris was becoming
accustomed to the long range bonn
bardment which continued for three
days when I was there. The people
were gradually losing all fear of
the monsters missiles, as the walls
of these shells are so thick and they
contain only such a small amount
of high explosive that it is impos-
, sible to cause great detonations or
infiict much damage with these
shells.
Moreover. the historic happenings
on the battlefield so near by cause
the people of Paris TO forget their
own troubles.
II believe the British and French
will hold the Germans. particularly
I inasmuCh as they are still some dis
/ tance from the old, thoroughly for
titled lines which they held before
the battle of the Somme."

The consensus Of opinion amons
stan officers 10 that his next effort.
IL he can hold the initiative, will be
to throw the British back on the line
Of 1915. II is pointed out that the
farthest point of the present ad-
vance-Roye-is only about Z l-2 miles
from the 1916 line-easy cannon range
and dulseard only ten miles.
His progress through the inter
vening space would depend principal
~ on whether the strongest fortified
features of the 1915 line. entirely re-
built In the last twelve months, are
east or west Of that line. The exact
information In that respect is, OF
course, kept secret Conclusions can
only be based on the confident bear
ing OF the British and French mill
tary experts here.
Bliss Reports.
Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, Chief Of Stan
Of the American army. detailed as a
member Of the interallied war council
at Versailles, cabled q lengthy report
TO Washington yesterday. 1t was not
made public, but oficers having ac-
cess to II, maintained stoutly that
while the situation was Of course
grave, disaster was far from ap-
parent Always the principal talk Is
Of the expected counter-offensive.
Congress IL taking the news in
customary fashion. Criticisnf-born OF
chatting impatience over the delays
in getting the American forces into
full play "over there" broke out IN
the Senate in bitter fashion. Hostility
centered on the bsckwardness Of the
aircraft program.
Senators showed plainly their con-
Germ over the testimony OF Mai. Gen.
Leonard Wood that there were no
American aeroplanes operating over
the American sector in France.
More and more. IL was manifested,
is Congress swinging around to the
belief that the United States is not
going to the production OF aircraft
as rapidly as could be.
The Aircraft Board, replying to the
charges Of Senator Hitchcock that
the original program Of 1000 planes
for the first year had dwindled TO
a tenth OF that number. made public
through Howard r. Coffin figures TO
show that Loo planes are now being
built.
Defenders Of the administration who
demanded more powers for the Pres
ident in order that he might &C
complish quickly the things that must
be done to hurry Americas prep
arations, were answered on the floor
Of the Senate by demands for an
accounting from the President as to
what had been accomplished under
the tremendous and sweeping powers
previously granted

Il am here for the purpose of
pointing out what the Senator is
seeking to cover up in an undis-
puted and scandalous failure of the
, administration" was Senator Poin-
dexteTs answer to this challenge.
Il am not seeking to cover up
anything" said Senator Overman
with some heat. Il admitted that
what the Senator said Is true. but
I ask is II a proper time for the
Senator to be throwing out these
discouragements to the American
people when they ought to be en-
thused?'
Senator PoindeNter answered that
there was no way to bring about
a correction of the errors except by
calling them to public attention.
He expressed the opinion that the
discussion of the subject in the
Senate would lead to some benefit
/ Cial results. Senator Overman in
sisted that such talk was merely
stirring up trouble.
Senator Kirby held that the New
amendment would confuse the main
! issue.
When the war Is over we will
have had ten million men trained
and three million men of these will
have fought in France" he said.
The Senator suddenly swung into
the statement:
we have fighting planes In
France. They are not American
! planes. but are built for us by
France. when we furnish the raw
material. We have enough TO pro-
tect our fighting front"
