The German armies selected for this
prince, though they are commanded
really not by that degenerate son of
the kaiser. but by Generals Won Boehm
and Won Below. About thirty divisions,
with large droves OF tanks and much
artillery, were brought up to the Che
min des Danes front in the nights and
kept concealed In the daytime so that
the allied avlators had no inkllng that
the long expected attack was to he
made there. Facing the 30 divisions
were nine French and four British d.
visions to stop the Germans when they
began their attack on Monday between
Coucy and Reims, after terrific bonn
bardment with gas and high explosive
TO the Alsne the first day, and even
crossed that river at some points.
Next day they made further advance
of some five miles, reaching the Vesle
river and forcing crossing at Fismes,
but already they were being slowed up,
and on the TANKS they were able to
make little progress. Wednesday they
directed great masses of troops Mt Sois-
sons and the French and British there,
after exactlng fearful price in lives,
withdrew to the western environs.
Meanwhile the German center was
pushed forward TO Fere-en-Tardenois
and Vezilly. On Thursday the entire
allied line was reported to be holding
well, and thereafter the Huns made
slow and difficult progress, or none at
all.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Last week witnessed a renewal Of
the kaiser's drive on the west front,
but to the surprise of everyone not in
the confidence of the German high
command, the blow was directed, not
against the allies In Flanders, nor
against their lines In the Amlens re-
giOn. but in Champagne. His appar-
ent intention was to rush his forces
swiftly on Paris, breaking through
where the allies were weakest. The
location was we'll chosen and the prep
arations made with wonderful secrecy,
suits were, as in the former drives, not
comparable with the losses sustained.
The apex OF the drive had advanced
some 1S miles beyond the starting line,
reaching Vezllly, six miles from the
Marine and A miles from Paris. The
famous Chemin des Danes had been
taken, as had Craonne, Vailly, Fismes
and other towns and villages and
finally, on the west side of the new
salient the allies retired from Sois-

reserves were arriving in large num-
bers and the desperate efforts of the
Germans to widen the salient were
stubbornly resisted and virtually
checked. In the suburbs Of scissors
the French were holding onto the west
ern outlets from that city, and north
west Of Reims, on the east side of the
wedge the Franco-British forces were
repulsng every Hun assault.
The commanders Of the allies viewed
the situation with calm confidence and
seemed to have no doubt that they could
stem the onrush of the Germans long
before they reached the neighborhood
of Paris They were not yielding a
foot Of ground easily or cheaply, but
were pursuing their former policy of
retiring in good order before vastly SUI
perior numbers, maintaining their line
intact and sparlng their reserves as
much as possible

Conqucrinp tho Submarine

Is the menace to allied shipping being over
come? Have the united navcs of the en-
tente found means Of striking deadly blow
at the undersea boats? Is the new shipping
OF Germany's enemies being produced in suf-
hclent tonnage to render negligible the
amount of tonnage still being sunk? Is it
too soon to encourage the hope that the one
lnstrumentalty which Germany relied upon
year ago to bring Great Britain and France
to their knees has been paralyzed?
These are vital questions that officials in
every allied capital are asking each other,
and they are questions which the peoples
now lighting Germany are asking their gov
crnments. Unhappily there is no direct an
swer. Every reply that is made must be
qualified. Every conclusion that is pro-
nounced is hinged upon an Elf" Every ques-
toner IS hidden to wait and to be patient in
tho waiting. Even so, there are cumulative
reasons for believing that tho submarine is
being neutralized an agency Of destruction
whether or not 1t is being actually defeated
The record Of losses is steadily declining
More and more OF the subsea craft are being
accounted for. The French government IS
convinced that the dcstroyers are sinking
more U-boats than Germany is able to build
The means Of attack against them are being
perfected and are becoming more and more
ehective Germany has stopped Dragging
paign. Reports from neutral countries insist
that the German Admiralty is having more
and more difficulty in getting crews to man
the submersibles
These are circumstances that must he
taken into account in any study of the sub
marine situation, and they are circumstances
OIL undoubted significance. To them more
over, must be added the very important fact
mat American shipyards are turning ont tom
mage even now faster than did the British
pants before the war. In less than two
years this country has built up from the very
ground marine industry more productive
than any the greatest maritime power IN
the world could boast of four years ago A

1t has been long, hard and heart-break
