became convinced that its preliminary
artillery work would not be done in
time. The arrival of the reinforcing
artillery from the eth army had been
delayed.
The attack was therefore post
poned to June 9. This was a draw
back, since it thus lost much of it's
tactical connection with the great ac-
ton between the Aisne and the Marine,
for which a local operation southwest
of Scissors could form no complete
substitute. The enemy would find the
transfer Of his reserves facilitated. In
spite of these objections | decided for
the later date because thorough prep
aration was essential to success and
to keep down casualties.
The attack of the 18th army began
on the 9Th, and was directed on the
right toward Merry, on the left against
very strong positions on the high
ground just west of the Disc. This
time the enemy was prepared. but our
infantry got through his whole trench
system and beyond it, in some places
as far as the Aronde.
French Smash His Plans.
On the nth the enemy directed very
heavy counter-attacks, particularly
against our right on Merry which
gained some ground. They continued
throughout the 18th and 18th without
result. In consequence Of the great

evident that the attack commenced in
the meantime by the 18th army south

through.
The action of the 18th army had
not altered the strateg.cal situation

still in the Marine pocket) nor had
it proved any fresh tactical data.
In the middle OF June nearly the
whole of the new front of the German
crown princes group became quiet.
Only between the Aisne and the for
est of Villers-C otterets some tension
remained, which occasionally broke
out into local actions. On both banks

In arranging for further operations
april, 1919 there was no time to
lose. The initiative which we had
seized on the western front must be
kept, and the first great blow must
as soon as possible be followed by a
second.
The movement of the prodigious
means of attack, the supply and stor-
age of ammunition, the concentra-
ton of the divisions, and not least,
the utilization of the experience gained
In the last attack. all these things and
many others took time. That was a
disadvantage, but with the forces ac-
tually available, it could not be altered.
The most favorable operation in
ieself was to continue the attack on
the English army at Ypres and Bail
leau; but on that front the enemy was
now so strong in numbers that it was
impossible, even with rested troops.
Before We could attack here again
the enemy must become weaker, and
our communications must be supple
mented. Further south conditions
were similar. Besides, the Somme
area (the devastated region which
his troops were now forced to hoid)
afforded too little cover for the neces-
sary preliminary work.
In front of the 9TH and the list
armies (west of Rheims and along the
Chemin- Dames) the enemy was
weak. Troops had been sent from
here to Ypres and replaced by tired
English divisions. Tho strong posi-
tons on the hills certainly looked diff
ficult to attack. But If our own arr
tillery had done its work WELL only
the difficulties of the ground would
remain to be dealt with. They un-
doubtedly We're considerable, but easier
to overcome than those we surmount-
ed on the Italian frontier on the gath
of October, 1917.
Early in April the group of the
German crown prince was directed
to submit a plan for an attack be-
tween Pinon and Rheims.
Available Troops Were Tired, So
He Had to Delay His Assault.
At the same time general head
quarters had to determine what troops
were to make this attack. 1t would
be necessary to employ troops that
had already taken part In the March
attack. but since then had been rested
and trained. Before the end of May
these divisions would not be fresh and
fit to attack, that was obvious. But
the preparations would take as long
as that. We dare not risk failure,
which would have declared itself in
huge losses by undue haste I could
not act according to my wishes and
hopes. but must simply deal with the
facts as they actually were 1t was
obvious that all necessary loss of time
was svoided
During the discussions with the
group of the German crown prince
and the 18th. 18th and LIST armies, the
following operations were decided up-

lshed.

new positions had hard time; but
the enemy was no better off, although
in many places, particularly as regards
our troops on the old Somme battle
field his billets were better than ours
That was unavoidable. But we tried
to make up for it by lbombarding many
places with range guns and
bombing.
In addition to improvements in dis
cipline, much attention was paid to
vigorous training in rear of the whole
army, and in many parts of the actual
front
The equipment of, the troops was
completed. Each infantry company,
which had hitherto had four light
machine guns, now received a fifth, as
well as improved rifle grenades. Ma
chine guns were issued to supply col
umns and transport, as u protection
against aircraft, and the equipment of
the artillery with them was gradually
completed.
The first anti-tank rifles came in;
they were effective, but unfortunately
very heavy, and took two men to work
them; so that meant the loss of one
rifleman.

vorable; the horses found enough to

not much corn. Health had so far been

In the middle of May we commenced
TO concentrate the troops whowere to
break through over the Chemin DIES
Danes. The preliminary work was
completed up to time. The artillery
was brought into action according TO
Colonel Bruchmullers proposals,
which were also adopted as regards
the preparatory artillery fire. ut was

New Mexico citizens have contrib

Bile industry in neighbor state cannot
but bring benefits to New Mexico.
Already instances of investment in
farm lands of this state by Texans
who sold lands in the oil region have
been announced in local papers.
Revelations across the state line
have stimulated interest in New Mex
leo and many spectators and oil OPP
Grating companies from elsewhere
are spending money in seeking oil
here. The citizens are not behind in
efforts. Should extensive oil discov-
cries be made in this state, the money
wasted or lost by New Mexicans,
whether expended in, Texas or at home
will count for but little compared with
the wealth that will be created and
the coin that will be circulated among
the people.
This will be true even If the recoro

Alaska has produced in gold in fifty
years of American ownership OF the
northern land. A statement published
gives $4,000, 900 as the value of TeXai
oil produced in August. 1t would re
quire but about 100000 barrels daily
to bring that revenue.
That was the valuation of the gold
Of Alaska for the year 1903. which
was next in importance to the biz
year of 1906.
From 1867, when Alaska was bought
from Russia for $7,20O.000, to 1908
inclusive, that territory produced
$7,0OO,0OO of minerals other thar

In California the highest gold pro-
duction in any one year was $S5,O00.-
