SEAFORTH, Friday, March 29, 1918
THE WAR SITUATION.
For weeks the Allied armies and
countries have been awaiting - the
great German drive, wondering -where
it would be launched and whether it
would he the sledge hammer blow that
the Germans have beet.' boatting about
so long. The answer to both of these
questions came on Thursday morning
last, and the last oilers a most ern-
phatic demonstration . of the German
claims. Early in tte morning, in a
heavy mist, the Germans broke coiter,
and ahnost shoulder to shoulder, in
'dena masses, they advanced over no
mans land,- right to the British wire,
some. of which was cut by- hand. The
attack was not a local one, but cov-
ered the whole British front of more
than fifty miles. It is _estimated the
Germans had.close to a million men in
actiou on, this wide front against the
British, and so overwhelming were
theirn-umberii and their preponderance
of artillery, that the British were for-
ced _back step by step, until after six
days steady fight -Mg the Germans have
retaken, orachiCallte all the territory
whiCh laidenburht.divastated in his
fiunous. retreat last spring, and,at
present ttip drive is in full swing, but
showing ,raahy signs of decreased in-
tensity.- The .situation has beer and is
still serieus, but is in no way des-
perate. While the British have been
forced to retire, their retreat has been
a most gallant and orderly one, and
their line while bulged in many places,
has not been broken. The Germantob-
jectives are Paris and the tlliaiinel
ports, and towards there objeetives
they are bending every effort, regard-
less of human life. They are fighting
against time; they cannot wait for the
U-boats to starve Great Britain, be-
cause their- own country is• on the
verge of starvation, and every day
makes the Allies stronger. With them
it is now or never, and so far they
have had sorae measure of success.
The .British losses have -bean very
heavy, the Germans claiming 45,000
prisoners and the capture of over 900
guns, besides large quantities o war
ma.teria.I. The picture is not a very
bright one. On the other hand it is by
no inea,ns a hopeless one. The worst
has been told and we have used Ger-
man figures in the telling. The main
stay aid -.hope of the Allies is the
fact that their line has not been broken
even in the first mad rush, when. our
soldiers were fighting odds of five to
one. Even the loss of prisoners, great
as it has been, gives a good evidence
of how the fight will terminate. Had
the German rush been overwhelming,
the prisoners taken by them would
have increased in numbers each day.
Such, however, "has not been the case.
Each day's fighting has seen fever
prisoners fall into their hand, which
shows that the British, retreat has
not been a route, but a cool withdraw-
al, taken step by step, and every step
contested. Neither must it be suppos-
ed that the Germans have escaped Joss.
The -truth is that their men have been
slaughteged. Advancing in close tor -
illation, their hordes were mowed dowtt
like grain by British artillery, machine
gun and rifle fire until the ground was
a shambles. Like Von Kluck in his
drive on Paris, Hindenburg has out-
stripped his artillery support and com-
xnunication „lines, trusting on sheer
brute strength and numbers to smash
the British line; but the .British line
would not smash, but Slowly moved
back to its supporting artillery, until
now the Germans are having brought
back to them again the fact that flesh
and blood can not Stand against ma-
chinery. That • is why after six days'
terrific struggle the battle shows signs
of waning, and it should cause no great
surprise to see the Allies take the of-
fensive within the 21:2Xt few days. So
far General Haig has made little use
of his reserve troops, and as the
drive has been against the Britisli
front mainly, these reserves, along
with the F;ench, will have to be reas-
oned with. Jong before Germany
reaches either Paris or thecliannel.Add
to these the Canadian and American
troops, and we see no cause for panic
or an ally defeat; Gerxnan losses al-
ready, equal the man power transfer-
red from the Russian front; and even
if the Allies de no more than stem
the new Gerrrian ,drive they will fully
demonstrate that the' Russian situa-
tion has been overeorne. Germany has
taken every heailable man from every
front for her'karnble in the west; these
she must -Eve andeese again. until they
are decimated, betteuse she has no oth-
er sources of reserves, and the Allies
have. The sacrifices the Germans have
made witlihr the past week, provided
that no 'ditoehter overtakes the Allies,
should Inthg about the beginning of
the end of WA: because it is only the
killing of hddi, numbers of the enemy

Notes. -The Hard Times Social held
on Friday evening last in No. 7 school
house, Hibbert, was a decided' success,
The building, was filled and a good
programme of vocal and -instrumental
music was rendered by local talent.
There was a fine array of boxes -which
realized good prices. , Mr. Robert
Hoggarth acted as chairman and auc-
tioneer.. The proceeds amounted to
$68, which will be applied to Red Crots

'the teacher, for the able manlier in
which she organized the social. -Mr.
William Drover and family have taken
up their residence in Mr. Lorne Mc-
Naughton's house. -Mr. R. R. Glenn

-Mr. W. , Wilkinson, who had the
misfortune to eut his knee, is doing as

Eyre is confined to- the house, suffer-
ing from an attack of pleurisy. --Mr.
Gordon Pybus, a short time ago, had
his dog, which he highly prized, shot
by a small boy from the village.,
While it is against the law for a boy
to carry a :gun, this incident serves
to emphasize the danger of shooting
in the bush at this season of the year
when so many people are cutting wood
and making syrup.

Union Stock. Yards, Toronto, March 26th:
_Trading at the Union Stock yards was
intlined, to be dull. Prices were easier, ex-
cepting in the case of lambs, which were
stronger, one load selling at the record
price of $20.85. This lot eame from the
farm of E. C. Drury, Berrie, Ont. They
were 37 in number and averaged 95 lbs.
Butcher cattle and cows were 25c lower
for all grades. Last week the drovers
were said to be making fair profits, and
the prices paid at country points immedi-
ately, rose,- but ivith yesterday morning's
decline in prices the droters claim they
Jose the entire profits of_ the previous week.
Up to noon yesterday very few cattle had
been sold, despite the fact that the run was
large. The buyers vere endeavoring to.
lower prices, and were not in a hurry to
buy. Evidently they are pretty well "stock-
ed' and can afford to go lightly. Choice
heavy steers wete selling at from $11.75
to $12,50 per cwt. Good butchers' were
bringing.from $11 to $11.50. The medium
grade 'butchers' brought from $16 to $10.75
per cwt, andcommon butchers from $8.75
to $9.50. Choice butcher cows sold at from
$8 to $9.50. Common cows sold at from $7
to $7.50, and canners from $6 to $650. Bulls
were praetically of the market -the buyers
seemingly did not care to take thein, only
three or four haviitg been sold at. 12 o'clock.
Stockers and feeders were inactive..Prices
continue rather high, showing no Change
from, last; week. Milkers and springers
were sold at from $100 to $135. ,
In the &mall meats departmeat there was
the lightest offering of sheep,and Iambs in
many weekspast, only 135. 'lambs, apart

prices. Choice veal brought from $16 to
$17.
liogs sold at $20.75 fed and#watered. The
buyers say that the highest price paid today
will be $20.50, but drovers claim that it
higher price will be demanded owing to the
limited ,supply of hogs in the country.
