THE WAR SITUATION
The big Gerinan offensive is still in
progress although th.e German stride
- has been reduced from a ailop to a
• hobble. In fact at many points it has
, been brought to an. absolute standstill.
The respite of the past few days, how-
ever, is only temporary, Germany
'has gone too far now. She can, not a-
gain settle down to trench warfare
SS in the past, because her people are
making a most insistent demand for
.an. offensive that wt.' produce peace.
They have been taught that Hinden-
burg's great spring , drive will be so
overwhelming a force that the Allies
cannot stand before it, and when its
objectives have been reached, they will
accept a German peace, or at least
a peace that will be largely in their
favor. Their brow not having. reached
its objective, (they will strike again and
again until their object is gained or
their man power so depleted that they
will be completely exhausted, Which
will mean the end of the war. That
stage, however, has not yet arrived,
noe is it yet in sight, unless some un-
forteen event arises. At 'nresent, al-
though the oerrnan losses have been
colossal, she has by no means reached
the end of her tether. The compara-
tive quiet of the past few days is
only a respite te allow her to readjust
her armies and bring up her guns,
when shewill launch another` blow as
equal in force and fury as their first
attempt. The Allied losses have been
very heavy both in men and material,
but their lines have not yet been brok-
en and although forced to retteat they
did so slowly and regularly while at
the same time exacting. a terrible toll
from the oncoming enemy. Mel unless
their lines are broken, no matter how
far they retreat, Germany -will be
beaten. The ground that Germany
has taken counts ifor nothing.. It is
simply a waste, that has been/ fought
and bled over for more than two years
until it is such a condition that it is
almost impossible to drag gene across
it.. If Germany overruns three GT four
times the ground she has in the past
two weeks, she will be no farther a-
head unless she can smash the British
and French lines or separate them. It
is not the ground that counts, but as
we pointed out last week if the man
power that will be the deciding fac-
tor in the struggle. On that; basis
and. taking the past tWo week e as a
guide, Germany will lose, because she
has sacrificed the lives of her soldiers
as oily the German military heads
know how to do. The, Gernsan com-
mand has trusted to sheer brute
strength and numbers; to hack her
way through, and their soldiers were
medied down like hay. If the Ger-
mans pursue these tactics in the suc-
ceeding drives, the end is rnevitable
and her reserve man Power will be
exhausted within three months. At
the present the allies are not yet out
of the water, and the situation is still
serious. The odds. are, however, in
their favor. It is unlikely that the
German drives in the futuee can be
any stronger than the one ; that has
been ynet and turned and We have
good 'cause to believe that the coming
offensive will. meet the same fate,
The long disteince bombardment of
Paris by the Germans continues at
intervals, but the damage or xnilitary
effect has not been great, and even as-
suming that Germany has a new and
wonderful weapon, it does net appear
probable that it will have any serious
effect on the war.
