ESSENTIALS DIFFER
FROM MARINE CAMPAIGN.

On the other hand Il is essential
TO recognize that all the values in
the present campaign are different
from those of every campaign since
/ the Marine. Now. as then, the Ger
nan is seeking a decision. not a gain
Of ground. The British are in the
position Of the French before the
Marine. Then Joffre. having suffer
ed early retreats and facing an over
whelming concentration Of German
troops on his western flank, retreat
Cd steadily until he could rearrange
lis armies and until the force OF the
German blow had spent itself and
the moment arrived for a counter
offensive. When that moment ar
rived he struck and won the Marine,
but Lefore il arrived he had tenn
Porarily abandoned all Of northern
France TO the invader.
Foch and Haig are necessar-
liz employing the same strategy un-
der the terrific force of the German
blows. They are yielding. Their
supreme purpose is to keep their
I front and their armies intact and
/ their reserves unexhausted until the
hour arrives for the counter Often
/ sive. In this time they run the OBJ
vious danger of disaster just as
/ JOffre did. At Amiens three weeks
ago today they were facing a ter
rible possibility. Now they are con-
/ fronting a peril no less grave.
Amiens was saved by the arrival CT
/ French reserves. Today other
\ French reserves are rushing up to
! Hazebrouck. and upon their celebrity
and upon the obstinacy of the Brit
| ish armies depends the fate Of the
| Ynres salient.

IDLE TO MINIMIZE
POSSIBILITIES.

Ii would be idle at this time 10
attempt TO minimize the gravity OF
the situation, but it is well TO recall
that the crisis of the Marne and
more recently of Amiens were met
and passed successfully by the al
les. The situation today is not
more serious than that which Joffre
passed in the first days OF Septem-
Der. 1914. The solution of that
crisis was the victory OF the Marine.
The very intensity and fury of the
German attack now indicates that
il cannot go on long at the present
pace. He has used 115 division on
the western front. He never had
over 100 and at least So were need
ed TO hold the line from Switzerland
TO the sea
Seventy-five divisions have been
Withdrawn because of losses and il
is certain that the remaining re-
serve of fresh troops cannot be over
10 divisions; while the allies on their
side have not Yet made any great
call upon their reserves.
Therefore. the power TO strike
hack must still lie with Foch. Con-
ceivably We shall see a third Ger
man blow.
Probably a complete check before
Railleul and Hazebrouck will mark
the end of the stupendous German
offensive. On the other hand. the

NJ EW YORK. April I've. have
Y reached the second great crisis
Of the German offensive, a crisis at
least as grave. as the first. Some
time within the next few hours the
question will have to be settled
whether the British are to abandon
the whole Of the famous Ypres sail
ent and fall back upon a new line
5etween Eunkirk and Calais, or the
french reserves will arrive in time
20 pin down the German &dvance
on the eastern side Of the Ypres
river.
II the Germans get Hazebrouck.
and they are now within half
dozen miles from that town. the
British will almost inevitably have
20 make a retreat on a very wide
front The loss Of BaiTeul. which
the Germans are approaching. will
&c only a little less serious Finally
the German advance also carries a
great menace TO all the British po-
sitions from the Lys down TO the
Somme in front Of Amiens.
GERMAN PURPOSE SIMPLE
mt DISTURBING.
Their terms OF the new problem
e-e exceedingly simple but nonethe-
less disturbing. Three weeks ago
the German slashed the British fifth
army. opened a wide gap between
The British and French armies, and
stll another gap between the Brit
ism 9th and third armies. and push
ed forward into these gaps. From
March q to Mary % the great
danger was that the British and
French would not be able TO join
the Germans before he got Amiens
md permanently separated the two
allies.
What has happened is just this:
Tie Germans have pierced the cen
ter of the British second army
commanded by Gen. Horne. I be-
l,eve. They have pushed this army
? ack upon a broad front by thrust
ing through its center and the re-
silt has been the creation OF a
steadily widening gap between the
british third army at A-~as and the
n-st army at Ypres. Between these
two armies there is now a very deep
curve inward in the British line
from Givenchy above Arras TO Mes
sines below Ypres. The German
front, which is still advancing. is
and communication between the two
armies IS becoming more and more
difficult

SIMPLE RULES TO
 IMPROVE DRIVING
 GIVEN BY EXPERT
lContlnued from Page one)

understanding of the operation of a gas engine is essential to the proper handling of the spark control and is something that every driver should acquire. If the spark is retarded just sufficiently when the engine shows signs Of laboring on a hill it will re- leieve the strain on the engine and Increase its power at slow speed. When accelerating the speed of the car the engine will pick up more rapidly and with less tendency to knock if the spark is slightly retarded. The spark should be SO adjusted that it can only he advanced 10 Its furthest point when the engine is running at very high speed without much load on it, as, for instance. when running fast on a smooth level stretch of road. Study out the functioning of the spark, in relation to the various conditions under which the engine operates and you will gain a more intelligent idea Cf its usage.
 Use the Gears on Hills
 You can go up a hill faster and will burn less gasoline in doing so by drop ping into second speed rather than by keeping in high if it is necessary to keep the throttle wide open when the vnEine runs slowly and cannot accel- crate. The strain on the engine is very excessive when it is being forced I'D a hin at slow speed with the throt- tie wide open. It is an evidence of pcor driving to force an engine to la hor on high.
 10 not think that you demonstrate ssn or driving ability by making a cuick getaway You will have visible evidence Of the inadvisabilty of this when you see your tire bills, but there fs greater harm done, which you are not SO apt to see. in the rear end and transmission of your car. Nine out of srn stripped pinions and rear axle keys can be attributed to this foolish prac- ice From Motor Age"
