SEAFORTH, Friday, March 16, 1917.
THE WAR SITUATION.
The war situation on all fronts has
steadily improved during the week,
After another terriffic bombardment
on Tuesday the Germans were forced
to abandon their main defence syst m
west of Bapaume on the western front,
which were immediately occupied by
General Haig's troops, who are now
only about a mile and a half from the
above fortified city, and its capture
may be reported at any time. This
last advance has pushed the Germans
back to a depth of over a rate on. a
four mile front, and the British are
keeping right on the Germans' ‘heels,
giving them no rest and no time to
cement themselves in. All the reports
seem to indicate that the spring of-
fensive has commenced in earnest. The
giving up of these positions was ap-
parently no part of the German plan
of retreat. These positions had pre-
viously been fortified, and the Germans
had every intention of staying, as was
evidenced by the determined struggle
they made to hold the/rebut the Brit-
ish were not to be denied. In fact this
latest victory is looked upon as making
the first crack in the German defences
protecting Bapaurne and its capture
will be a hard blow to Germany. It
is reported that both the Kaiser and
Hindenburg are new on the Western
front planning a German drive on the
Allies' lines toWards the Channel. It
kooks very much as if the enemy were
becoming desperate. They feel that
some stupendous effort must be made,
not only to stop the British advance
but to achieve a gain of their own,i
end to this end they are bringing 1
reinforcements from other fronts back

Bristol, Feb. 14, 1917.
Dear Sister, -Just a line to let you
, know that I arn getting along nicely
I and am enjoying health in England.
S
We were two days coming over fasm
'France but. 1 had 'a good bed all the
way so enjoyed the trip pretty well,
and I am now in a nice hospital in
Bristol. We got a great reception
when we landed here. Toe station
was crowded with women with cigar-
ettes, sandwiches and tea, and they
did not seem able to do enough for us.
It is pretty cold here in England,
but not as bad as it was in France.
My wounds are healing up fine now
and I expect to be able to get up in
a few days. I have beeninbed three
weeks now and am getting pretty tired
'of it. Things were pretty lively in
France when I got wounded ' and I
expect before- long the big drive will
be on. It will likely be worse than
the Somme and is likely to happen
right near where the Canadians are
now. I often wanted to tell you about
the Somme, but could not, 'and now I
have forgotten what it was like, but
oh! it was a regular hell for the two
months we were there and I was
glad to get away from it. We were in a
quiet part of the line all winter, but
even it was getting bad when we left.
Our battalion pulled off a raid and
bombed Fritz's-dugouts. It was quite
successful and they brought back
quite a few prisoners with .them. The
Battalion bombers were covering them
with rifle grenades and I guess Fritz-
wh I standingd h
ing from, so he landed a six inch shell
right beside us. I heard it coming
and ducked, but it killed two of the
boys and wounded the other two of us.
I considered I was very lucky. I cer-
tainly hbrit it is over before I have
to go back, because I sure am sick of
seeing fellows blown to pieces. I
think this summer will tell the tale
but there are a lot of lives to be lost
before the tale is told. I guess the
boys in the section would get all those
boxes that were on. the way that I
never got, My address is 2nd South-

to the west, every available min be-
ing moved; in fact we might say more
that every man, as it looks very much
as if Gerniany intended leaving Tur-
key to her fate by the way she is
stripling that front of her troops for
use in the West. She evidently feels
that the German people can not much
longer be kept in ignorance of their
plight unless some real victory can
be obtained. Even her own troops
are becoming affected, and extreme
measures are being employed to sup-
press discontent in the army. Wide-
spread sullenness and even a tend-
ency to mutiny or surrender at every
opportunity is confronting the mil-
itary authorities at different points and
there is nothing more likely to have
a disastrous effect on the morale of
the army than this.
In Mesopotamia General Maude and
- his British troops have been so suc-
cessful during the week that the be-
ginning of the end of Turkey in Europe
at last really appears to be in sight.:
Bagdad, the chief Turkish city in Asia,
has been captured, and although the
Turks have been preparng to Evacuate
it for some weeks, and to that end
have been destroying everything of
value in it, the British advance was
so rapid that they were unable to fin-
ish their work and large quantities
of booty have been taken. How hard
the Turks are being pushed is shown
by the fact that over 500 wounded
soldiers were found left behind when
the British entered the city. With the
capure of Bagdad ends the German
dream of reaching the Persian Gulf,
and the German threat to India and
Egypt has ben removed. With the sin-
gle line of railway here now in Briit-
ieh hands the Germans are now un-
able to assist the Turks, and supplies
of inimit;ons are short, and if Ger,
many is forced to concentrate all her
nergies on the Wcstern front, as
eeern likely now, Turkey will not long
be able to survive. Already some 15,-
000 of her troops retiring before the
British advance from Bagdad have
heen captured by the Russians, who
are operating to the north of Bagdad
in an effort to eeffct a junction with
ihe British troops.

The demand for speakers will be great. The number of available
experts being I ironed, the Department urgently requests that
arrangements for xneetings be made at once; if localspeakers cannot
