Rao Wilton Exuasitur SEA.FORrit, Friday, August 30, 1918 TEE WAR SITUATION The Allied advanee on the Western front has -continued without abate- ment during the past week and still. shows no signs of a bait. The French Army- after beating the Germans and driving them out of their positions before Roye, have ,captured that town which has long been a German store- house and a railway and road centre of immen4e advantage. The British army hava: reached the city of Bau- paume And it is more than likely' that is now firmly in the hands of. Haig's men- The; British have been ghtiag on a 46 nOe front for some days, and without. a Check have been rolling up the Gerznans and sweening constantly eastward. They now occupy the high ground at -pis point from. which they can over/ore the country occupied by the enemy. for miles around thus ob- taining a tremendous advantage. What is of even greater interest, at least to us, ie the splendid successes achieved during the week by the Canadians, who crowned their work on Tuesday by breaking throiegh the Hindenburg line on the Scarps River, whieh line in that sector is now firmly held by them. The re -appearance a the Cen- adieus on the Searpe, haa come some- what cif a surprise. Two weeks ago theY were in the !Wye distriet, some forty miles away frorn their present location. It was there they inad their great record when they went forivard for nearly tourteen miles, the longest break made by any , Allied army since Rea warfare began. Now' they are on the Scarpe, and what ds more they are duplicating their for- mer successes. They have captured five villages and other valuable posi- tions- far which the British fought long and -hard last year, and Amy have smashed the Hindenburg line for a depth a five miles. Unforeumately, however, successes in warfare, can- not be achieved without loss of life, and We ma.y expect a heavy easualty list for these Last engagements. In March and April, when, the Geernans were overrunning the land, tt was the British who stood the brunt of the attacks and suffered the losses and • although the battles raged on both sides af the Canadian positione at Vimy, they were not in the fighting. But now the penatlies of war pre be-. hug brought home to,us again. At Passchendaele last fall, the Canadian ,lossee were 24,530, at Virny Ridge, 14-1,- io00 and at Hill 70, 10,000. In the fighting at Rue a few weeks ago, the 090- and if our boys are kept in the struggle at the Scarpe, vre must look for equal and we fear, much greater There hi na doubt. but that the -.Germans leatdera are greatlah-upset by • the recent turn of events. When Ger- many donueseneed her offeesive March she had a reilllon fresh men from the eaeterti froet and they felt they could be prodigal of the lives of their eoldiere if they could win a de- ' cision before the Americau army in France became a factor in the fight. They lost hundreds oF thousands in that offensive without a decision and now they are losing hundreds of thousands more in trying to make a stand against the Allied offensive.

In 1916 each rush ef ths Allied offensive was foll6wed by a pause, which gave the enemy time to reorganize and prepare for the next. So it was with the German offensive tide year. Now, however, the Allied offensive is going ahead without a neetierit's pause, the pressure is, continuoue, and the Ger- mans cannot etarei it. They would be: glad to retire to ttes hare; line or any other Iine ce' defence that time.

Rao Wilton Exuasitur SEA.FORrit, Friday, August 30, 1918 TEE WAR SITUATION The Allied advanee on the Western front has -continued without abate- ment during the past week and still. shows no signs of a bait. The French Army- after beating the Germans and driving them out of their positions before Roye, have ,captured that town which has long been a German store- house and a railway and road centre of immen4e advantage. The British army hava: reached the city of Bau- paume And it is more than likely' that is now firmly in the hands of. Haig's men- The; British have been ghtiag on a 46 nOe front for some days, and without. a Check have been rolling up the Gerznans and sweening constantly eastward. They now occupy the high ground at -pis point from. which they can over/ore the country occupied by the enemy. for miles around thus ob- taining a tremendous advantage. What is of even greater interest, at least to us, ie the splendid successes achieved during the week by the Canadians, who crowned their work on Tuesday by breaking throiegh the Hindenburg line on the Scarps River, whieh line in that sector is now firmly held by them. The re -appearance a the Cen- adieus on the Searpe, haa come some- what cif a surprise. Two weeks ago theY were in the !Wye distriet, some forty miles away frorn their present location. It was there they inad their great record when they went forivard for nearly tourteen miles, the longest break made by any , Allied army since Rea warfare began. Now' they are on the Scarpe, and what ds more they are duplicating their for- mer successes. They have captured five villages and other valuable posi- tions- far which the British fought long and -hard last year, and Amy have smashed the Hindenburg line for a depth a five miles. Unforeumately, however, successes in warfare, can- not be achieved without loss of life, and We ma.y expect a heavy easualty list for these Last engagements. In March and April, when, the Geernans were overrunning the land, tt was the British who stood the brunt of the attacks and suffered the losses and • although the battles raged on both sides af the Canadian positione at Vimy, they were not in the fighting. But now the penatlies of war pre be-. hug brought home to,us again. At Passchendaele last fall, the Canadian ,lossee were 24,530, at Virny Ridge, 14-1,- io00 and at Hill 70, 10,000. In the fighting at Rue a few weeks ago, the 090- and if our boys are kept in the struggle at the Scarpe, vre must look for equal and we fear, much greater There hi na doubt. but that the -.Germans leatdera are greatlah-upset by • the recent turn of events. When Ger- many donueseneed her offeesive March she had a reilllon fresh men from the eaeterti froet and they felt they could be prodigal of the lives of their eoldiere if they could win a de- ' cision before the Americau army in France became a factor in the fight. They lost hundreds oF thousands in that offensive without a decision and now they are losing hundreds of thousands more in trying to make a stand against the Allied offensive. The German canheand knows they ftausted ilea they kneed. now lius- husband that- forces if they are to eantiatie etataegle.

In 1916 each rush ef ths Allied offensive was foll6wed by a pause, which gave the enemy time to reorganize and prepare for the next. So it was with the German offensive tide year. Now, however, the Allied offensive is going ahead without a neetierit's pause, the pressure is, continuoue, and the Ger- mans cannot etarei it. They would be: glad to retire to ttes hare; line or any other Iine ce' defence that time.
