(By William Philip Simms, United

front three big things loom up out
OF the year which began the middle
of last summer and ended the mid

Cambria.
The decision 10 brigade Americans

The German offensive.

the history of this war
Although at that time there was
no such thing as a generalissimo on
the western front, there was some.
something approaching unity OF com

tween British and French that GER
tain general policies should be fol

Without going into detail the tao
tics of the Franco British command
ers were almost precisely those OF
Iiindenburg and Ludendorff this
year That is, an offensive was to
be turned loose in a particular place,
and if this came to a standstiIl an
other offensive should be got under
way as quickly as possible some
where else.
Arras Fights Starts.
SO, on April 9, 1917, the battle OF
Arras began. A few days later the
French attacked between Soissons
and Rheims. The storming of Mes.

against Cambria
The Flanders offensive was aimed
against the high ground east and
northeast of Ypres, against Pass
Glendale, Roulers and the U-boat
bases on the Belgian coast. Had
these been taken Germanys position
in Belgium would have been preca-
rious and her whole northern flank
menaced.
But Haig played in usual. British

In the old days you could afford to
have a headache at p. IN. and feel

it isn't patriotic now
