The western front, during the past week, bus seen, taking the place of major attacks, scattered bits of fight ing for the \ purpose of acquiring points of local importance. In other words, the fighting might Ik- appro priately called jAK’keying for posi tion. Just why the particular posi tions are of importance may be s<feip by following the Ifties down from Oppy, which is held by the Germans, southward. Oppy itself is located in a hollow between two tongues of hills. The southern tongue is but a hundred yards wide and a matter of but fifty feet higher than Oppy. After we cross this hill crest (it is really but little more than an uhdulation of the ground and not properly a bill at all) we again go down a gentle slope and then comes another rise on the top of which Is Gajrelle.

They must be cleaned up first, th© Germans’ eyes put out, so to speak, before there is another sustained ef fort to advance in this sections. Ap parently the British here ard content for the time being to permit the Ger mans to do the attacking and so de plete their effectives. At any rate, the condition of immobility is the prevailing one, as it has been for nearly a month. On the Amentieres-Ypres front the Germans are reported as having fallen back behind the Lys River from Warneton south. That they have done so is more than probable. The Lys runs, with but small sinu osities, straight from Comines to Ar- mentieres. The British line, as it was established after the battle for the Messlnes Ridge, runs from Hill 60 almost due south, crossing the Lys midway between Frelinghlen and liouplines. From thia point of crossing north Just as did last year's, but. Instead ot applying this pressure at any one •pot. us was toe case In the battle of the Somme, It is being applied at widely separated points. This Is a direct application of most Intense at trition. More damage can be done, and greater losses inflicted, In the first attack of a series than in any one of Its successors. This has prov ed to be the case in every offensive launched by either side In the west. To-day-*thl8 ( is emphatically more true even than, it was last year. There is a great difference in the depth of penetration of the first at tack. year when the first at tack on th© Somme \\hm launch©*! the gain was measured in yards. In both of the heavy attacks of this year th© British have penetrate*! in some cases several mile*. The damage done has been correspondingly great. It may. therefore, develop that the strategy which will be adopted this year, in fluenced, possibly, by the ability of the Germans to concentrate men at any given point by reason of the Rus sian defection, will be a series of heavy blows delivered for the pos session of certain points of local Im portance and for the purpose of in flicting the greatest possible dam age at the front of attack rather than a long-sustained offensive at any given section On the French front tha feature of tha week'a fighting waa an un- tharc la a atretch of I brio" miles 1haavy German effort on tha where the belt of land between the . l** Alllette, east of British Itnes Is not more thnn a few ^aaxnllion Thu la along tha rail- hundred yards wide As tha Lye 1 romd fro “ 8o‘**o*d to kaoa If tha with l«a marsh baits ta dlffimit to ro * |,d ** brohea or b*ni bridge sites, and hnck at this point much of tha advantage acquired through the tak ing of the t ‘hernia dee I tense would bw neutralised Tha French line h#re 'urvwe around Lnon and la an eueen t»al part of tha an vw loping ark am a a rrrarh t a MANY HAVE VOLUNTEI ►rt e« s » ab» B ##«<*< 1*0 Si I • Hbg Me r • 9 4 be fl< 'V*. mm qpNMtt Me eharh fwttttfnan ked ba paaabha an IttHBnl mm at Idea *80 ♦ *e t» s>ab4hMh4 th tiawn m a hSMoe ttnhae mad* pahtbi ta apart as*nt The Fvem «ar trtiav mi paaMadhf adwrfWn mi airvenfi aiwi Hp 4m matt tn ttpaanta mans » hi an? that I am entirety I hn«h an a prwgmav dttaai | nape thad pan ntu I m tha aflramDwal paaadhta in pro par rwanmtftawa mi th* arwannla nrmarsea ana navy yarns mil ha enMhpad.

And yet these small de tails. for the reasons given, are often the key to movements of consider able importance. Running parallel to the line I have just described is the German line defending Doual—the great switch line which runs from Dro- court to Queant. Generally it is not more than a mile and a half distant, while, at Greenfand Hill, it is not more than a few hundred yards away. Further south, east of Mon chy, the distance is about two miles, and it is against the British posi tions at Monchy that the principal action on this section of the front has taken place during the week just passed. The plateau of Monchy is an ir regular triangular-shaped tableland, Jutting out into a point which ter minates just about at the switch’ line two miles east of the village. At Monchy, the widtji is about a mile. The Germans held Monchy as a guard to the valley of the Scarpe on the southern side, arid to the val ley of the Cojeul on fts northern side. Moreover, together with Gfeen- land Hill, it commands a view' of everything of moment on what has been termed the plain of liouai be tween the switch line and tTre city itself.

To delay auch a too long could well have dir# 1 * a* results. From Hill 60 the entire line along the Ypru# Canal Is exposed and can be taken In flank. An advance up the Lys Valley from Warneton would narrow the German front to such on extent that the troops to the north would be caught In a trap. . Every foot of advance, indeed, brings the Germans more nearly to an acute angle. Clearing out this angle should not, therefore, be a paxticu- larly difficult or long operation should the Britrish desire to accom plish it. The very fact, however, that it is. on its face,, the logical thing to do may be a very good reason w hy it is not being done. The campaign of this year promises to be different In many respects from that of last. The battle of the Somme, one begun, was continued without the slightest di version. There never was a moment when there was any doubt that the 1 next blow w’ould fall somewhere along the new’ front. It might come in the north, along the Ancre, or south, in the region of Chaulnes. But somewhere along this front it was certain to fall. But this year there Is no such cer tainty. It waa presumed in the early spring that the British intended to attack again at the Somme. But the German retreat came, apd sud denly It developed that the Brltlib had never had any such intention, but had planned alnr# lata fall to make their grand effort east of Ar- ras and In tb# region of Lens TVt* hall I# had W*-n fought <»ut to th© «Cagr wh©r# H «vo* apfiarvaitl) draw. ppH Ip pp ptusHy pa»©%p©rtrd •©rtltrtfe of 10 II## p mmm pf Lark mmm UppcVM anuth mi \pmmm In both 0ttl#s 10 #A#m#Pt pf oprprtfl# was prssi pt 0 grwat maaswr* pad 10 al larks mmtm #mip##tty •«*rc#a#fni TV### bd#ry bte #♦ 8#J •#r#d mi #•809 s#8#r#t#d p#«at# Mb 0 8#f 80# 898*08## 00T tMH R0A 0 90 m soaox*#****# • Ip* 1 8#%*ip*l TH# irnrnmmmmm mi p>*' • » •»• • 1 - • • >§— it pra < • •««4 y«s p*#i 4i IH# mmmm *»mp #i#0 0* tamp immm m • - • s* #ns#0 mi m t *• 1 •- •d Hk# fr##»f#0ttCh*# pN 80*8 8r###ated ph ih* ##00*8 I ft## •» #Mfe • * lai" »-«*%' a pm • m *Spd b • (%!*•#• • 1 • S « f* »#4 0 # %m ted#s«r w# to# #«••#*# fv##i 0mss artstanat t tftp# Mod H atapft# ft### #*t< •*tf 0 8*0 90 #Hfti*# 0i##cfe#a 0|g0 0## tern# 000108093 0#8l8#8. 8#4 Ib###tt8 10 0H99lH9#O8H00ft 88ft#8 <©•*####f *#p #00808 0 SO0d 00a Fra#a# #«•#* l8f##A#0p8 8#ftni ••# ##ap#rl#4 #8## II ####t«8 101 H 0##* ten p#4 Hi# ##t0p nfft##0*# #801 mi 10 Hnt08 p#4 tp# • ##881 0 a napfttfitl Tv# 00# 18099 0 tr## pf 10 •tv* t0 ipfisft pf Appin### fr#0 iLs Hsmtpp frp#i phtr8 Ww#f8t 180 •••0##9 t# p 8aH |p#t p# It mmm mm >0 ##Vg# p| prrp0nHt8ltttt 10 #0 |#C9 Th#r# 0 p r#rr#4#P*#a©# pf pn|v- Hr *#w pa 10 Husptqn frppt wvuk 0a 1 8av# pp0# 0#pn|pg far 10 9rsi Hat# 0 0#py pm at Vs t0 h#pvy • rtill*ry 0 prflv# In Volhynte. aad th# aviator# ar# agaia to 10 air Ru0la la mo upc#rtain; 8**»#v#r. that all of thla may pro*# bat a flash to th# pap and a forerunner of notb- thf Authorities Htsfe That More Half a Million Men Hava th© Army and th© Navy la 90 l*OMt Thr©© Months—Other# mmm Needed Immediately. ^ More than half a million men have volunteered in the American a . iy and navy during the period 01 >< -■>*• than three months that has elapsed since war was declared to exist.
