NEW YORK, March a4.-There is nothing in the current news from overseas to warrant any disquietude on the part of the American public or any of the nations allied against Germany, in the opinion of Captain Andre Tardieu, French high commits sieHer to the United States. In statement issued here today, how ever, he counselled the hastening of preparations in this country to deal the enemy "biow for blew" and the maintenance by Americans at home ef the same ''ealm confidence" in the ultimate issue of the war as has been manifested by the nations troops in France.
 Germany's sleng distance" ham= hardment of Paris can have no sig nificaHce from a military viewpaint, Captain TaFdieu declared. The dam age resulting from this gunfire, he said, evidently had been less than that incidental to an aerial bomb attack,
 Parallel Case to Verdpn | The British retirement near St. l Quentin on the western front, the | high commission believed. was a move paraileling that of the French during the first i've days of the | battle of Ferdun, Captain Tardieu advised that Americans be critics of the war news and warned against the forming of conclusions until the net result of the new German move was determined.
 The German attack" said Captain Tafdieu, seems to have exceeded in violence by the number of guns as well as by the number of men, all previous attacks, but I insist that this attack is exactly similar to those which have already been repuised The two first days seem to me to be absolutely similar to the two first days of the battle at Verdun in February, 1916. The British retire ment near St. Quentin relatively is not more important than the French retirement at the beginning of the Verdun engagement
 Verdun Prefited Huns Little
 Ten days later at Verdun he had ceased to retire and the result was of negligible value to Germany. w have every right to think the out come will be the same this time. The Germans may benefit by the increase of power resulting from the Russian treason in abandoning the cause ol democracy. I think the nuhSsriea superiority of Germany is six to AlVl but the British and French are much stronger and much better armed nov than we were at Verdun. Therefore there is no cause for anxiety"
