 Another week has passed without renewal by the Germans of the offen- halted before Amiens in April, and came to a definite pause on it's right Hank before the barrier of the Elan ders hills just as the month of May was opening.
 Ever since the costly defeat of Gen cral vou Arnims army in a desperate | assault on the front southwest of | pres nearly two weeks ago, the be- ginning of new effort by the enemy | either hero or on some other front has | . been looked for from day to day. Pos l sibly the Germans have been waiting | for some allied counter blow, which | they felt able to withstand, and there fore hoped would be dealt.
 Plays Waiting Game I fthis was the case, they must have 1 been disappointed by the waiting at titude of General Foch, which it is felt now will compel the enemy to reveal his further purpose with little delay, as time is one of the things he cannot afford to squander, with the A9merican forces now summing to formidable numbers. If as is considered certain, the Ger mans have employed such time as they have felt impelled to spend in building up the machinery for a new attack on an even greater scale than before, it is equally sure that the allied armies under their unified com mand have not neglected to employ the interval in making every preparation possible to meet the German blow.
 Allies Are Alert
 Every day evidences the alertnesS of the allied forces. Numerous minor op- erations have been taken to improve their positions on the various fronts and their artillery fire has been di- rected to equally good purpose in breaking up the organizing efforts of the enemy.
 Airplane raids without number, in which the superiority of the entente air forces has been clearly shown, have served the same end, besides being not ably productive of valuable informa- tion, while innumerable infantry raids have been almost uniformly fruitful in an informative sense.
 Betterments of the allied position re- ported yesterday included an advance by the French on the Flanders front in the neighborhood of Locre, where the approaches to Mont Rouge, one of the Z bulwarks of the allied lines, have thereby been made more secure.
 Carve Into Germans
 Far to the south of the Somme, on the southerly side of the great Mont didier salient French troops likewise carved slice out of German held ter ritory near Orvillers- Sorel, seven miles southeast of Montdidied.
 As a complement to btth the opera tions, there were numerous successful raids. notably one by the French Tn ' the region north of Grisvnes, southeast of Amiens. near the point where Gen oral Rqtqfufg troone Otah hIo advance as the result of d local attack Thursday and another along the line southeast of Montdidier. The British carried out profitable raiding opera tions near the western end of the Lys salient in Flanders.
 Hun Fears Russ Bear
 Indications are multiplying that Ger many's position in the east is causing her uneasiness. She is reported to have made additional demands on Rus sa which are said to have affected sensibly the sentiments of the Bolshe- vikt whose attempts to weld an army , into shape the Germans are attempting to thwart
 In the Ukraine the situation is even more disturbing to the Germans, &C., cording to current dispatches, which announce growing anti German sentiment because of the oppressive measures of the Teutons. To meet this, additional German troops are being sent 10 the disturbed region, the west ern front even being drawn upon for cavalry, dispatches from Dutch sources announce. These report Bavarian horscmen arriving at Liege, Belgium, on their way to the Ukraine.
 Troops of the new national army of the United States paraded through London Saturday, three battalions of them, to the plaudits of large crowds and the compliments of King George Premier Lloyd George and other not ables.
