Somme and Are Bendy to Push
Work. In the Open.
“Only German soldiers in open
field formation now stand between
the French and the River Somme,”
said Maj. Gen. F. B. Maurice in Lon
don Tuesday, referring to the part
of the river which flows northward
to the east of the sector along which
the French have made their greatest
gains.
In giving the Associated Press
summary of the results attained by
the allied offensive of the Western
front Maj. Gen. Maurice, who is di
rector of military operations of the
general staff, continued:
“Much undeserved obliquy has
been heaped upon the British army
by English, French and American
people because we apparently did
nothing to assist the French in the
desperate fighting on the Vjerdun
front. But all this time we were
doing the part requested by Gen.
Joffre.
“According to this plan, we con
served our troops, accumulated sup
plies and waited the word for the
grand offensive in which we were to
play our part with the Russians and
Italians as well as the French. Nat
urally, during these anxious weeks,
we could give out no exciting news,
because our deliberate preparations
were not good copy.
‘For certain tactical and moral
sons, which need not be dilated
jn. it was necessary that the French
should not lose the east bank of the
Meuse and Gen. Joffre Informed us
that he could hold the positions
which command* that part of the
river until the end of Jun
begtimtog -orJiTl
“The Mow planned by the allied
general staffs incladed offensives
by the Russians and Italians which
I do not nee# to tell you, already
have begun. We are not disap
pointed with our own advance,
which we expected to he slow, and
we are enormously pleased with
the wonderful progress made by
the French who, with compara
tively light losses, are sweeping
forward to the Somme.

Congress Is preparing to complete
Us programme of financial prepared
ness with svery Indication that ap
propriations this session will aggre
gate considerably more than $1,600,-
000,000, at katft $600,000,000 of
which will be for national defence.
According to statements based on
figures compiled by Chairman Fltx-
gerald of 'the house appropriations
committee and increases put into
pending measures by senate commit
tees, the grand appropriation total
may reach $1,650,000,000, exceed
ing by more than $600,000,000 tbe
record of any previous congress in
the nation’s history.
Last week Representative Fitzger-
ald submitted a statement to the
house showing that the grand total
for the present congress, based on
bills passed and pending, would
reach nearly $1,600,000,000. Since
then the senate naval committee has
added nearly $50,000,000 to the
naval bill and the military commit
tee has increased the $182,000,000
army appropriation measuro by ap
proximately $100,000,000.
« The principal appropriation meas-
nres awaiting senate consideration
are the army and navy $315,826,843,
respoctively, and together with the
fortifications bill, which h .s passed
both bohses, would appropriate for
national defense more than $622,-
000,000. There is every indication
that the senate will accept at least
the major part of the proposed army
and navy Increases, but conferences
probably will pare them down. What
ever happens, however, leaders of
both houses agree that tho total of
appropriations will break all records.
The senate plans to take up the
naval bill as soon as the agricultural
bill Is out of the way probably with
in a few days. The big building pro
gramme provided for 1917 and the
provision for a three year construc
tion policy probably will mean a de
bate of several weeks. Meanwhile
the army bill will como frou commit
tee and an effort may be made to
pass it as soon as it is Toady setting
aside the naval bill temporarily.

After Allies Have OoasolMated New

Another Attach:. , / ..
Pressure of the Entente allies on
the central powers continues without
abatement Wednesday, and while no
where has any great amount of terri
tory been recovered. Important
strategic gains are claimed on the
western, eastern and Italian fronts.
So far as the western front is con
cerned, London reports the first
phase of the Anglo-French offensive
Is believed to be nearing the end.
Both north and south of the Somme
the French and British are engag
ed in organizing positions captured
since Saturday. - The French, having
taken all the German defensive po
sitions south of the Somme, are
fighting in open country and cavalry
which has been so long idle Is being
employed for patrol work.
The next objective of the French
in this region is the village of Bar-
leak, which is the junction point of
three highways leading to the Somme
south of Peronne. If this point is
gained the French will be in position
to attack the bridgehead ^’opposite
Peronne which the Germans a re
strengthening.
North of the river the Anglo-
French advance is slower on account
of the fact that the Germans have
massed between the river and Hebu-
terne the bulk of the 26 divisions
which orlglnially held this front and
the reserves they have since brought
■P-
After the ground gained has been
consolidated, it Is expected artillery

“It Is quite evident the Germans
were surprised by the strength of
the Frencu offensive. They evident
ly believed our allies would be kept
too busy before Verddn to participate
seriously in tho Wostern offensive
which they knew was coming. Con
sequently they made extensive prep
arations before our front, piling np
reinforcements there while compar
atively neglecting the southern sec
tor, dominated by the French. The
Germans, anticipating our move,
brought up great forces, much of
which consisted of independent units
called mousqaeton battailous, armed
only with light machine guns. It
was these battalions which inflicted
the heaviest losses on as.
“Our enemy Is brave and resource
ful and put up a desperate defense,
especially In the region from Gom-
mecourt to Frlcourt, where he evi
dently expected our main attack. In
this region the fighting was especial
ly severe. The chalk formation gave
the Germans a splendid chance to
make the best use of their mhiet*
who constructed dugouts and other
defensive works which our heaviest
siiftiu could aeO-destroy.- From these
works mousqaeton battalions put up
most determined resistance.
“Physical features made the cap
ture of Frlcourt peculiarly difficult
and our severe losses there were not
^Bpnexpected. Montauban was one of
^Hhe strongest positions occupied by
^Rhe Germans, but our advance there
was brilliant and rapid, without the
losses suffered between Gommecourt
and Frlcourt.
“On the whole we are well satisfi
ed with our advance. We will con
tinue our artillery preparation, as we
have no intention of butting our head
against a stone wall. The human fac
tor must be considered, and this fac
tor presents some unexpected prob
lems on the German side, since after
all the enemy has something to say
about the progress of any offensive.
We are meeting strenuous opposi
tion. Our progress most certainly
will be deliberate. Many places like
Frlcourt will be taken only after
overwhelming desperate opposition.
“That-our-gallant allies should ad
vance faster with smaller losses than
we is not only the fortune of war,
but may be called poetic justice,
since they lost so heavily during the
long weeks while we were getting
ready to take our share in the great
offensive. However, it must be clear*
ed now, even to laymen, that the
blame heaped on us for not going to
the aid of the French before Verdun
was quite undeserved as we are doing
exactly what Gen. Joffre requested.
And when he gave the word we
sprang to the attack, in which we
have suffered grievously, but which
leads to no rejgret beyond, sorrow-tor
