GERMAN Statement

BERLIN, March 2s.-A crossing
over the Oise river west Of La Fere
(twelve miles south of 81. Qusntin)
was forced by Jaeger bsttslions to-
day, II is announced In the war Of
fees official report. Before the
offensive the Germans were within
two miles of the river).
Between Gonnelieu and the 0mig-
non stream, the statement says, the
first two enemy positions were pene-
trated and the heights west OF
Goureaucourt, Heudicourt and vill-
ers-Faucon were captured. Between
the 0mignon stream and the
Somme, after the capture Of the
first enemy position, the Germans
made their way through Holnon
wood and fought across the heights
of Savy and Roupy, penetrating
into the third hostile positions.
South of the Somme the Germans
broke through the hostile lines,
says the report, and in an uninter-
rupted forward movement drove the
enemy over the CroEat canal to-
wsfd the west. The announcement
saws the Germans are standing be-
fore the third enemy positions. II
reports that the British evacuated
their positions in the bend south Of
Cambria, and were pursued by the
Germans through Demicourt, Flies

Capital Gasps
at Rush of Drive

WASHINGTON, March S.-All Of
fetal Washington turned its attention
almost wholly today 10 the news from
the fighting front.
Dispatches telling Of penetration of
the British defensive system, the re-
tirement Of British troops, Berlin's
claims OF large captures OF men and
guns and finally the news tfat the Ger
mans were bombarding Paris, at a
hitherto unheard OF range of about 62
miles, came as one surprise after the
other,
II was thought likely the British
withdrawal might leave the German
forces in an embarrassing position, pos
sibly holding q salient projecting into
the British lines and assailable by
counter-sttacks from three sides. IN
less the breach is a wide one and the
Germans are able to pour in immediate
ly vast reserve forces TO keep going
ahead, it was said, there always is the
chance that the head Of the salient can
be cut off by counter assaults on both
flanks and the more advanced German
units captured This is precisely what
happened to the British at Cambria.

Aerial Torpedo
MAY Be Used

WASHINGTON. March 2j.-News
that German guns were bombarding
Paris at a range Of about 62 miles,
astonished American ordnance officers
beyond belief.
No such range Of guns had ever been
dreamed Of, they said The worlds
record for long distance bombardment
was established by the Germans some
time ago when at a range Of twenty to
twenty-five miles they dropped oc-
casional shells into Dunkirk.
The greatest long-range American
gun yet developed is the l6-inch rifle,
which at the greatest possible elevation,
it is estimated, would throw a shell
about nineteen miles.
Evidently Ordnance officer said, the
German artillerists had developed some
new world-surprising weapon, although
it was thought possible they might be
using some sort OF aerial torpedo.

Smith did 1t the other day on an mir

him. Does anyone doubt that device
which makes possible such comet
like trip will be permitted to fail Into
dlsuse after 1t has served its purpose
in the war? The thing which the
world wants most just now is peace.
Next to peace the chief desire of man
kind centers upon speed. II the air
plane had nothing more than its
speed to commend it. we Light be
sure that 1t would be pressed into
use for passenger traffic. Since 1t has
been demonstrated that aircraft may
be made as comfortable and MS safe
as cars which are hauled upon tracks
and ships that sail the seas, we may
be sure that the day is not far dis
tant when 'the squadrons of the
sFies" will be utilized for pleasure
and for peaceful enterprise.
