BIG PICARDY DRIVE.
Germany Started It Just One
Year Ago Today.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-
One year ago today the German
army, at the peak of its power,
poured down on British lines in
Picardy bent on winning an over
whelming victory before Ameri-
can troops could reach the front
in force. Today Germany no
longer exists as a military power.
Her gigantic war machine has
collapsed and the American army
she sought TO avoid stands as
tride the Rhine, shoulder to
shoulder with British and French
and with all of Germany at its
mercy.
When the cables on March 81,
1918 brought the news of first
terrific German onslaught Ameri-
can effort was driving toward the
production of an army of 5.0Oo,-
600 to bring. victory in 1919.
Within nine months the first
and second American army
had broken the hinge of the
enemy front with the cap
ture of Sedan while decid-
ed victories had been won bv
British and French. 1t was then
that to save themselves from the
ignominy of having their army
captured the German leaders
forced the flight of the emperor
and surrendered as a nation.
