The cavalry Is working far back

The drivers of motor trucks and

or funning them to earth.

In the narrow triangle between the

have also proved that the German*
are not always able to plead surprise
as an excuse for defeat. The French
successes north of Montdidler* were
partially due to surprise, but the
Germans were aware of the Impend
ing attack south of the town. They
were defeated, just the same.
A dispatch from London said:
The Allied casualties, including all
the killed, wounded and missing, are
less than 6.0t>0 > or not more than
one-fourth of the number of prison
ers counted. On the other hand, the
German casualties have been . tre
mendously heavy.
The German communications have
been so disorganized that thus far
only two divlsione of reserves have
been identified, and these new troops
have not been able to make any Im
pression on the advancing Allies.

British tried It at the Somme in
1916. But the counter barrage cot
down the attackers when they en
deavored to move forward and it was
found, no matter how intense the
preliminary bombardment, there still
were left enough machine gunners to
take an awful toll. Further, the foe
held his front lines only lightly and
from the rear sent forward his re

who survived the counter barrage
iand the first-line machine guns. The
British steadily drove the Germans
back, but at what a loss!

that America is building many of
them which are little larger than our
small automobiles, and nearly as fast
