 The objective of the fighting that IS going on is the capture of Ypres where since 1914 the British have held their positions Two years ago the allied lines carried forward and the salient ill front of the city wiped out but from these positions the British retired week ago to the trenches where they stood during the terrific fighting ill the spring of 1915 when they stopped the Germans in their first drive for the channel ports

 ''The strategic object was apparently crab-claw movement converging upon the chain of hills toward Mont Chats. This front is held by the French in the center and by our divisions on the Hanks.
 Uses Crushing Tactics
 "The enemy's failure to advance at Locre undoubtedly influenced him to resort to crushing tactics, but the news so far is eminently satisfactory up to this afternoon.
 The infantry attacked at o'clock with an attempt to advance toward Scherpenberg. This was completely held up at first. During the morning the battle extended above Voormezeele
 Although Ypres is not yet attacked, the battle has extended thereto. An enemy reconnaissance in force against the Belgians was repulsed.
 Disregard of Life
 Everywhere on the battle front ter rible punishment is being inflicted upon the enemy who has thrown in divisions with lavish disregard for his sacrifices. Once again he is paying the full price for no results.
 The Germans, realizing that they were making no headway, modified the crab-claw idea and the fighting de- veloped into a more direct attempt against Scherpenberg and Mont Rouge. The Germans are making an intense use of their great artillery strength but the French garrisons on the hills have splendid cover. Their seventy lives and our field guns furiously re- ply. The air is full of airplanes, mostly observing.

 In his address MT. Baker said:
 What America Has Done
 Tt is of the highest importance that we in America should have full reali- zation of conditions on the allies front. Despite the participation of French men in the war, that nation has kept pace, to a large extent, with the de- mands of the war. England has done enormous things in keeping up sup plies. in building railroads and sending wagons. To the British fell the defense of the French ports. Certain ports were assigned US. In addition to dredging, building of great docks. warehouses, we have supplied troops as rapidly as possible. One of the ob- jects of my going to France was to prevent, as far as I could, the breaking down of our machinery. We have built 600 miles of railroad and 126 miles of switches. We have built warehouses. which, if a continuous building, fould be 250 miles long.

 T pause for a minute to pay trib- ute to General Pershing. He is not only a most capable and efficient sol highest type. He has organized throughout France schools of instruc- ton for our officers. He has laid the foundation for the victory which must surely come to the allies. We all look forward with confidence to that vic- tory. Our preparations in France are as complete as human enterprise and industry can make them. Our work in France is a monument to American in- genuity and work.
 Now a word about the spirit of the American army and. indeed the spirit of the armies of all the allies, in France, where the war is staged, the thoughts of every man, woman and child are riveted on the war. We must acquire the same spirit. We must
