THE WAR SITUATION "
There hasbeen little to nate from
the Western front during the past
week. The great ' German offensive
is still held up and apart from local
engagements •and artillery duel* what
is called comparative quiet, still
reigns. Reports, however, indicate
that'there is a steady increase in the
enemy 1 -artillery supplies, but where
or when the offensive will be resumed,
is only a matter of speculation. That
the Germans suffered tremendous
losses in their recent drives' is beg
corning ,clearly more evideht by her
actions during the past two •weeks or
more. Weather conditions on the
greater pari; of the Western front,
have, been! most favorable for some
time for -Military manoeuvres, and if
the Germans had not suffered any
greater losses than they claim it is
reasonable to suppose they would have
resumed the - drive long ere this, or if
, the Allied claims _tire not true, why
did bre stop at all;. when it is an un-
disputable fact that Germany is fight-
. ing against time. Every day gives the
Allies a just cause for greater eon-
fidencel in the ultimate success of their
eat , and a successful chec of the
enemy when the next attack i made,
no matter how heavy the dri a may
be. The Germans, on the other hand,
still believe they can reach the chan-
nel ports, where they will be able to
clear the straits of I shipping and born
bard the southern part of . England'
with their longrs age guns. Having
accomplished this, they believe that a
peace satisfactory leo them would then
result. This peace would give them• a
free hand in the control ofthe con-
quered 'Russian
on-quered'Russian territory now in their
possession and open up a vast;field for
trade expansion and would go a long
way in helping out the payment of
their almost, overwhelming war debt.
The prospect is a' rosy one for them,
but from past events, , we, who are
• looking through -the Allies' glasses,
can not see the remotest chance of it
being fulfilled.
Wails there has been little fighting
on the Western front, there has been
considerable political fighting in Bri-
tain during the past couple of weeks.
The trouble arose out of charges made
against; the veracity of the Prime Min-
ister, Lloyd George, and his colleague
Bonar, Law.. :The charges were made
by a former member of the General
Staff, General Maurice, backed up by
a number of members of Parliament
and caused .a great deal of discussion
and -uneasiness throughout the coun-
try. >However, when the affair was
aired in the House of Commons, the
chargee• were not proven, in fact they
did net amount to anything slid the
Premier and his Government ` came
t through the crisis, if anything strong-
er than ever. It seems there has been
considerable differences of opinion be-
tween certain high military men and
the Premier, Lloyd George, in the
conduct of the war. Military proced-
ure and red tape had become so es-
tablished and conservative that- the
military clique- looked upon the Pre-
mier somewhat as an interiore, and
especially resented his utter disregard
o long established customs in. his
speding up plan. The Perrier, how
even is.a man who accomplished things
as his record shows, and he seems to
have the corffdence of the majority
not only of /his own people, but of
the Allies, as well. This is not the
first crisis the present Government
has weathered. but it has been one of
the most severe, and the Parliament-
ary discussion has done much to clear
the air.
