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

Germans’ eyes put out, so to speak,

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.

the Somme, It is being applied at
widely separated points. This Is a
direct application of most Intense at

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.

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

noticeable, since not to ta^ie such a
point often renders fntnre operations
in an entire sector impossible It
is difficult for th# student of the
grand strategy of th# days of Na
poleon to attuns hit mind to the new
problems of detail that hav# been
injected into modern warfare by the
introduction of ‘ intensified trench
warfare. 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.
This was the advantage which ac
crued to the British in taking this
postMon But It was offat*t some

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,
