tung, says:
"Day and night the British and
French guns continuously hurl their
murderous lead. Shells burst all
around, many exploding before posi-
tions where masees of dead are lying.
They fling sand and stone splinters
over the 'defenders. `]:hey' fling, too,
torn -off limbs, so when day comes
and the men are able to eat the very
sight of meat is horrible to them.
"The noise tears to pieces all nerves
and senses. It continually drums in
one's ears. Not a few fired their hear-
ing completely gone. The worst of all
is the effect of the heavy mines. True,
they can lie seen es ming and one can
get out elf the way, but if one rune to .
the right there is a hoetile flyer above
-the trenches wh, directs the fire of
the guns so one has, to run til the left.

Immovable men crouch in these holes
i with. no cover from the eun or rain
and not the slightest protection
against the shells from above.
"Hostile flyers cover the positions
at a low height. They see the men
in the holes and direct the Anglo-
French tire with a deadly certainty
upon them c.• else they fire themselves
with machine guns.
"Everything has to be done at
night: the bringing up of reinforce-
ments, removing the wounded and
burying the dead. To procure warm
food for the men lying out in those
horrible conditions is seldom possi-
ble. The want of drinking water is
leading the men to drink dirty water
out of the shell holes where there are
human bcdie; and other things.
by Haig's Troops.
A despatch from London says :-.-
The two most powerf.11ly fortified
German positions north of the Somme-
Thiepval and the Leipsic redoubt -are
slowly being won by the British. De-
spite the utmost efforts of the Teutons
to win back their lost ground in these
two vital sectors,.General Haig's ter-
ritorial troopsnot only are repulsing
all German attacks, but are steadily
increasing their gains. They have
won a further 600 yards of trenches
along the Thiepval-Courcelotte road
and, despite the great concentration
of German troops in the neighborhood
have further pressed in both east and
south-west of Mouquet farm.
The Prussian Guard, proudest corps
of the Fatherland, has been sent to the
threatenedfront, but despite their
most desperate efforts have. been un-
able to win back any of the import-
ant terrain which has been taken in

THAT 'REMAINS T GERMANY

y
The' Allies Are in Twofold Superiority to the Teutons, Japanese
Admiral Says -German Advantage No Longer Exists,.
A despatch from Paris says: Ad-
miral Akiyami; who as aide to Ad-
mire' Togo, planned the Battle of
Tsushima, is on the way to New York
after visiting all of the allied coup-
tries.
"I am thoroughly convinced that
the allies are in. twofold superiority
to the Germans," said the Admieal
before sailing. "To be perfectly
truthful, the Germans. were a nation
much stronger than we ever imagin-
ed. What they have done in the last
two years will remain a marvellous
monument in the history of the
world,
•
"But what has made them so strong
is their organization and preparation
in military natters. Their advantage
no longer exists. The allies by prac-
tice and experience have aeeomplish-
ed all the Germans had perfected.
"All that remains to Germany to-
day ie• her national unity, which is
the fundamental element of her
strength. But I have come to won-
der how long '•"ch unity can with-
stand the strain of the dangers which
threaten. German unity is nrtifieial
rather than natural. Their diecipiine
lacks elasticity, and cannot last.
Anyway, the development of the war
is entirely favorable to the al -des."
