The net result of th first day's fighting' was the captur of afire villages by the British,amon them being St. Julien, whereth Canadian troops withstood the fire gas attack launched by the German and whose bulldog courage stayed tremialuous rush on and most pro ally the capture of Calais. Some o the other villages captured have bee in the :bands of the Germans `Sille they *fit invaded Belgium. The ad vanee Was made on a twenty mil front to a den* of two miles and th first three Intes of the enemy trench es were carried. The French ea tured the first two lines of Gernia trerichei and four Villages and th number of prisoners captured, and s -far-counted, has been over 4,000. AU the gains lieve.been consolidated and are atningy held despite teriffic Ger men citunter attacks. The attac was preceded by an artillery prepar ation, the intensity of which lute nev er beeit. equalled even in this war o wars. The, country for miles rick with the roar of the guns and ev 1. LondormEaglend, 120 miles awe - the vibration was plaint- felt. Uncle such a, rain of fire, the enemy firs line trenches were blown to atoni and the barb -wired entanglements flatten,* like grass. Nothing cr,u1 live under it, and when the Britis reached whit had been a formidabl line of 'trench, they met with no op position and swept on to the secon and third lines, ivitere however, th preparation not being so long sus tained, and consequently less deadly they met with a stubborn resistanc from German troops, who made despera.te but futile attempts to stem the onrush. The next few days wil tsee some tremenduous fighting as th Allies are facing a large eoncentra tion of German artillery and fresh troops ef men who were rushed to the front as soon as it became ap parent some time ago, by the tre- mendous gun fire of the British that an advance was in order in this re- gion. The Allies, however, have a preponderanc of artillery, which is the vital factor, when it can be used in conjunction with the ,air fleet, and which the Allied sapremacy of the air assures. Another; vital point in favor of the Allies is the well known fact that the morale of the German troops on this front is far below what it used to be. The qual- ty of the priaoners taken, many of hem mere boys of 17 and 18 years, has proven this, while on the other hand. the British and French troops fresh and eager. If the first dan's success is maintained it means he sweeping of the Germans from he Belgian sea coast which will de - troy their great submarine bases at eebrugge and Ostend, and theraby strike a mighty blow to the U-boat enace against Britain. Of course, t is too early to predict victory on tremenduous scale but every *di-- tion points to an unbounded eonfi- ence on the part of the Allies. Ap- arently every prepa.ration has been ade and a great victory is expected y those in command or else the state- ent made by Lloyd -George a few ys ago, that Brits.* and France tdd bring the war to a successful nclusion independent a Russia oulct acarceiy have been uttered. On the Russian front the .opposi- on against the Germans has consid- a.giy stiffened during the past few ws and indications point to a re- wal of hostilities and it would ap- ar that reliable army officers are owly getting the upper hand and at discipline is again being restor- among the rebellious trades. It plainly be seen, however, that ussia is not to be relied Mon. They or ve ree eit n- ct e , a b- 11 f.

After" Duelling their line a- long a front of 150 miles and to a depth ofinany`ii2iles,Oustink the'Ger- Mans and Austrians as they went; -they gave way and -the Gen/lane used through it, not only te the *niter" front which they had been driVen,but far beyond it. The best we can hope is .that Hindenburg's boast to the`1Crstier, that he will crush Russia in, sixty days, will prove no more relible thais his other pre- dictions, .which it will if the Ruseians stir themselves ever so. little. The second American contingent has landed safely in France, but bow lime it is or how many American troops are now in France, of course is withheld,but tb.ere must be a con- siderable army in the vicinite of the firing line. It is expected that these troora will soon be ready for active service in the trenches, as ithev are an exceptionally fine body of men and slpendidly equipped and that other troops will arrive at short intervals. The .Allies are now looking :to Amer- ica to take the place of Russia and thereis not a question ofa doubt but that she will do it, and do it too with credit to both herself and her Allies. The third --ear of war has closed and in many respects it has been a disappointment to the Allies. The gret push in July of last year which was to be continued:this year, was to do away with trench fiebting and thus bring the war to a close this year, was brought to naught by Rus- sia. The Italian offensive oz a Trieste has been Partiany halted fromthe same source and Roumania has been overrun. On the other hand the Al- lies have. gained a preponderance 'Of munitions and men, they have gained the ascendency in the air, the have, if not fully, to a great extent, con- quered the submarine menace and they lave more than held their own without, or rather in '''te of Russia. With the entry of the States into the fray one the side of the Allies, •the prospect is decidedly brighter than it was at this time last year. Ger: many and her Allies are not defeated but the.British Prime Mixdster is au- thority for the statement that Bri- tain and her Allies areinow in a posi- tion to administer that defeat. It may not be this year, it may not be next, but when it does come we knonait will be thorough and we hope it will be soon.
