SEAFORTH, Friday, June 7, 1918.
THE WAR SITUATION
The past Week" has been anxious
one in all_the Allied gountries. The
German drive launched a -little over a
week ago for a time seemed to carry
everything before it. On Friday and
Saturday last, however, *e pace be-
gan to slacken, due to the reserves
brought forward by General Foch and
which were added to the thinly held
defensive lines until the both sides
' were somewhat more evenly balanced.
The Gerrnans still have the advantage
in point of men, but the Allies are not
now fighting against three or five to
one as they were at the commence-
ment of the offensive. On Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday the German of-
fensive was still further slowed up and
it would appear by Wednesday's re-
ports that the great German effort
had been brought t� a practical stand-
,
Still. Heavy engagements are still
• ,in. progress along almost the whole
front,lput at no one point are the Ger-
rnans able to make any advance, in
fact at sorae places they have lost
ground. This last offensive has not,
apparently, been attended with the
same danger to the Allies as the first
one on March 21st last, when the Al-
liect lines were actually broken and
there was grave,danger of the French
and British armies being sepaiated.
This time the Allied line 4as not been
pierced at any point and although
:they wereeferced to give gretpci they
-.gave, it grudgingly and made the Ger-
mans pay a fearful toll for every foot
they advanced. It -would appear now
.that the latest and greatest German
• effort had failed and if it should prove
true, the beginning of the end of the
war may be said to be in eight. If
the Allies can hold now, they can hold
tar all tiple. It is not likely, ow-
l@
ever. that' the Allied armies wilre in-
mence an offensive at the pre ent
time, nor until the United States has
enough men in France to make the re-
sult absolutely certain. There. is a
good deal of speculation at the pres-
ent time as to just how many of Un-
cle Sam's soldiers are now on t4e other
side. Same time ago the American
Minister of War announced that there
were 500,000„ and as many thousands
are arriving weekly, the number now
,reay safely be estimated at close to a
million. men. .and it is further claimed
that by the middle of the eiumner
there will be a million and a half or
more.
The most startling war news of the
week is the arrival of German Sub-
marines on. the Atlantic coast, off the
New Jersey .coast, where up to the
present they have sunk some 20 boats.
The most of these were small coasting
schooners, but there was . one steamer
containing 220 passengers and a crew
of 130' sunk. The crews of all these
boats were allowed to take to their
boats, and with the exception of the
steamer, all reached American ports
with practically no loss of life. The
passengers and crew of the steamer
Carolina, ran into a heavy thunder
storm and a number of their boats
were capsized, with the loss of many
lives. , This new sutnnarine menace,
however, is likely to be short lived.
If the German subinarine menace has
proved a practical failure on the other
side of the ocean, where their bases. of
supplies are. it surely cannotprove
much of a succeen when her submar-
ines are operating thousands of miles
from the . home bases.
Another thing that will not be for-
gotten is the recent attack made up-
on: British hospitals behind the lines
by _Germae. aeroplanes. These at-
tacks are not by any means the first
of their kind, but were, however, of
peculiar atrocity. A large fleet of
German planes deliberately dropped
scares of boenbs on hospital grounds
and buildings. The whole great field
in which the hospitals are situated is
marked with the utmost plainness and
it is incredibe that the Germans
did not recognize these signs. More-
over. not satisfied with the first at-
tack, the aeroplanes returaed a second
time and bombed hospitals filled with
wounded men. Two ,nurses, at least,
were killed outright and many of
them as well as doctors, and a con-
siderable member of patients were
wounded.
