• THE WAR SITUATION.
There has been heavy and success-
ful fighting on the Western ,front
during the past few- days. There
were no Easter holidays observed on
this front this year, On Easter Sunday
the British coinnienced an artillery
preparation, the intensity of which
has never been ,approached in the
world, and which: smashed the Pre -
pard German positions into indisting-
nishabIe masses Of wreckage, These
positions were believed by Gprraany to
be an effctive barrier against what
might be an invasion of their own
land, but they have all been swept
• away. Following the artillery prepara-
tion a general advance was made by
British and Canadian troops, who
made -tremendoui gains on a wide
front, and whia inflicted terrible Cafl-
=hies on the Gininans, besides taking
prisoners by the thousand and great
quantities of wee material They pen-
etrated the Grman line to a depth of
over three nfiles the first day, and are
still advancing and -meeting with SW-,
cess everywhere. l'he Canadian troops
have been leading the van, in the
heavy fighting and have already
covered themsellies with glory. It
was the Canadians who stormed and
took the Vimy Ridge, the vaunted Ger-
man field fortress, upon. which they
have spent endless months of labor
and which they have held against the
beat tthat France could put agar*
them. Tens of ihnusands of lives have
been lost attacking and defending this
Ridge. The artillery, of course, had
prepared the way, but the Canadians
had to fight every foot of the way.
from the Ridge to the crest of the
hill, but they silenced every resist-
ance, and their !great victory was a
tremendous blow and surprise to Ger
mealy. Here alone the Canadians took
• some 3,000 prisoners, among them be-
ing several Lt. -Colonels. Many of these
officere co-mplairied at the lack of sup-
port they had ;received from their
own troops, who failed to come to
their relief. It was not until after
• their capture that they found out why
this support wail lacking. It was be-
cause the British artillery had Search-
ed very foot of ground for miles back
of them, making it utterly impossible
for any reinferdemen.ts to move for-
ward or even to assemble. Hundreds
of these troops ;were found lying in
the assembly tunnels, from•which they
had attempted to reach the front line.
Best of all, these victories have been
achieved with extremely slight cas-
ualties on the part of our own troops.
Why these casualties are so few, con-
siciring the size and success of the op-
erations is explained by the fact that
the British artillery are asing twelve
inch guns, which for tie first time are
being operated en land. These liuge
guns have a radius of anything up
to 15 miles, and have been firing over
the Canadians' heads and breaking up
German infantry- gathering miles a-
way for counter attacks against the
positions being taken by British and
Canadian troops. The total booty se-
curcl by the British as a result of
thse operations since Sunday is of-
ficially stated as being 11,000 prison-
ers, including 235 officers; 100 guns,
including heavy cannon up •to eight
inches; 60 trench mortars, and 163
machine guns. This is the largest cap-
ture of enemy 'prisoners that has oc-
curred in any dingle operation on the
Western front' since the beginning
ef war, and prebably marks the begin-
ning of a drive, that will force the en-
emy defences back to the German
frontier.
In Mesopotamia. the British forces
are atill advancing and driving the
Turks out of the defences they have
been holding for some time north of
Bagdad; The Russian forces, which re-
cently formed a junction with the Brit-
ish on this front, are likewise busily
engaged in chaeing the Turk and have
• had considerable success, a mmiber of
towns and villages having fallen' into
iiteir hands. The poor Turk, who is
new left pretty much to his 'own de-
vices, is having a hard time of it.
