SEAFORTH, Friday, April 26,1.918
THE WAR SITUATION
All reports from the front during
the past week assert that the force
of the second great German drive
has been spent and that the objectives
of the Germans are still completely
out of -their reach. These objectives
which ihave been accurately ,.got at
from orders taken from. Gerrnan offi-
cers, thken prisoners confirm the gen-
eral belief that Germany has been
staking everything on breaking
through the British lines and -reach-
ing the coast either by way of Amiene
or -directly to Bolougne or Calais to
the north. They would then cut the
Allies' forces in two 'and attempt to
hold the French back while at the
same tittle drivirtg the British at the
Northern end a -the line to the Chan-
nel. There still, Of -course, remains a
. possibility, that the German scheme
may eucceed, but as week after week
has gone by since its. commencement,
the denger of a Geeepan success has
immeasurably lessened, and the ex-
haustion Oft German tropps , has In-
creased. - Now the Allies are wide a-
wake' to every puritan of Hindenburg
and an concentrate their resistance.
with a great dealantire certainty that
they ,eould at the beginning of the
offensive.% It. is also quite probable
that the :Allies may at. any -moment
begin n eennter offensive at a point
which :they deem the weakest in the
\
long C4eallealt Ate.
It is generally' believed, howevet,
that before the Allted .offensive is be-
gun, aathird great German offensive
will be attempted, but whether on the
north or smith only thoee on. the inside
know. The Gentians now claim to
have over 50,000 ntore troops on the
western front than the Allies and that
a further offensive is impending is ev-
ident from the movement of enema
troops, but everinvtiare the front§ have
been stzrengthenna in anticipation of
further attacks. In a section south of
the two principal German offensives
the American troops, recently arrived
in France -aave been attacked repeat-
edly, but have borne themselves ex-
tremely- well, and have repelled every
attack and it is - hinted that American
troops in a number calculated to sur-
prise the Germans will be met with
in the next big battle.
In the meantime the state of com-
parative quiet that leas existed since
last Friday along the whole line con-
tinues. There bas been some heavy
artillery firing and mostly by our
Canadian batteries. There has also
been some sbara skirmishes at diff-
erent points between the opposing in-
fantry, but there has been no real
drive by the enemy such as marked
the two previous German offensives.
British naval forces on Monday ac-
companied by some French .warcraft
carried out a most daring manoeuvre,
which if only partly successful will
play a marked -part in the war. The
object was the blotting out of Gert
many's submarine menace from their'
bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend by
sinking amiss tlieir harbormouths ()la
time cruisers laden with cargoes of
concrete which would make them al-
most impossible to move. - Full details
of the attack hve not yet been given
out, aut from information received it
ia believed that two cruisers were
blown up at the entrance of the
Bruges Canal at Zeebrugge and anoth-
er sunk while passing the canal. At
Ostend, two additional old warships
where run ashore and destroyed but
it is 110t yet known whether the chan-
nel then was fully bloCked. Consid-
erable dainaga was also done to the
works on shore by the Allied war -
hips.
REGISTERING THE MAN POWUR.
In the anouncement of the terms of
the regulations to govern the forth-
coming registration of man -power
and woman -power in Canada and a
statement setting forth the status
of enemy aliens in the Dominion is
to be found the reply of the Govern-
ment to various suggestions for meet-
ing. the present demand for labor put
forth in the Commons on Monday. The
registration, F. B. McCurdy, of Col-
chester, Under-Secretary, of the De-
partment of 'Soldiers' Civil Re -Estab-
lishment, pointed out, is to be com-
pulsory and is to include every per-
son who resides in Canada, male or
female, British subject or alien, 16
years of age and upwards. This
registration will furnish information
as to the manner in which Canada's
labor resources are being utilized and
as to persons available for industry
and agriculture. With this informa-
tion in its possession the Registra-
tion Board will be able to decide on
what industey able-bodied men should
not be empleyed tind so assist the en
