The G P e at W a r ? 1 3 6 2 n ?d Day
balance beforo uncovering his major
strategical scheme.
A glance at the map will show that
the only part of the British front from
Ypres to the Somme which has not
changed since the great offensive move?
ment began on March 21 is that be?
tween Givenchv and Arleux. Along
these twelve nines run Vimy Ridge and
the Lens-Loos Hohenxollern redoubt,
exceedingly strong positions, which
were won by the British at great cost.
The enemy wants Arras and wants it
so badly that he may even make a
heavy drive between Givenchv and
Boisleux, southeast of Arras. A suc?
cessful drive by the Germans, here
would force the British to evacuate
Bethune and Arras, and at the same
time it would relieve the right flank
of the German armies which are oper?
ating on the front at Amiens.
That is tho view o:f those who expect
a resumption of activities on the south?
ern battle,ront. Th?iy do not believe
that Lodendorff bus weakened his
forces on tho Somme to help the army
operating on the Lys, and, in fact, they
think that the southern armies have
been reinforced during the pause since
the first week in April.
Across tho devastated plains of
Picardy the Germans nave extended
many miles of light railways and have
built new roads, u great army of labor?
ers being employed at this work for
the last three weeks.
The armies of Boehm, Von der
Muritz and Hutier probably will be
colled upon for heavy work in tho next
phase. If Boehm's forces como into
action the battiefront will be length?
ened until it reaches utmost to Rheims.
For three weeks Kheims has been al?
most smothered with shells, Such ac?
tivity usually points to bigger things.
On the other hand, some critics be?
lieve that the enemy will persist in his
northern campaign just as he did after
iho i'.VMt check nt Verdun. They rea?
son that tho German command is cut
to crush the British army and that
Ludenclorff will gradually concentrate
his main force in front or Haig's army.
'Ihey think that he will bo quite satis
tied with ?*low progress in tho north,
because ev.-ry success there brings with
It a greater strategic prize.
Provided the weather continues fair,
this week should disclose more of tho
enemy's plans. No subject is of m'ire
Interest to the Gorman military critics
than the Allied reserves. They treat
the ouestion in great detail, and al?
though most of them profess indiffer?
ence they exhibit a real anxiety.
Germany Expects
Decision Early in
May, Captives Hint
OTTAWA, April 22.?Router's cor?
respondent at British headquarters in
France says tho Germans continue to
mass troops on the Bailloul-Neuve
Eglise line und north around Dernan
court. He adds that, according to Ger?
man prisoners, leaves of absence will be
resumed in tho German army early in
May.
"Such action," the dispatch says,
"suggests the enemy anticipates a de?
cision or the abandonment of the of
fensive by then."
The lull In the fighting in France
is not expected to last long, notwith?
standing tho inclemency of the
weather, with wind and rain, says an?
other Reuters dispatch.
"Tho Germans are licking their hurts
after their recent thrashing and evi?
dently do not mean to reattack until
they are ready to do so on a great
seule," the message addu. "They aro
being openly und enormously raiu
forced, but tho Allies havo also
strengthened their forces and it Is not
lil.ely that tho next thrust will be any
more effective in achieving a decision
than that of a month ago, when the
German people were told to expect a
speedy triumph.
"The expectation on this side, in?
deed, is that the battle muy lust well
through the summer. For one thing,
it will henccjforth bo impossible for the
enemy to benefit by a strategic surprise
similar to that of Murch 21, when they
uttacked on a front of fiTty miles.
"All the enemy's onslaughts hitherto
have failed to attain their cbject, owing
to tho impossibility of using reserves,
and resulted in the bottling up of a
million and a half of men in the tri?
angle of Haaebrouck, Amiens and
Noyon. These troops, originally sup?
plied with a week's rations, are virtu?
ally starving in u devaotated region
which is difficult to revlctual. as tho
ground is marshy and pitted with shell
holes constantly under lire.
"There is a greut concentration of
shell fire at Mount Kemme', which is
already stripped of trees. This is prob?
ably the act-no of the next big attack.
"Details of the Belgian success of tho
17th of April rhow that it was mont
brilliant und also important in result?,
for it played a part in foiling th?* at?
tempt to cut off the expected British
retreat from the Ypres Baiient."

(By The Aiso-lated I'rei?)
WITH THE BBRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 22. Taking advantage
of the moonlight, the Germans at 10
o'clock last night made a strong but
unsuccessful attack against the British

continued until 4 o'clock this morn?

by a heavy bombardment, and the gun

"Backs Against Wall"
Shows Need of Men
Tells Local Toronto Uni?
versity Club War Won't
Be Won in France
Great Britain has no reserve army
j to send to France; the 7,500,000 men
' enrolled by her since the beginning of
1 the war have fought and died on thirty
! seven fronts, and when it is said that
i she has her 'back against the wall' it
? means that." These statements made
j by Lieutenant Colonel F. Fraser Hun
! ter, D. S. 0., British PrQYQSt Marshal
in the United States, before members
j of the University of Toronto Club creat
| ed a sensation last night at the Yale
i Club where the Toronto men were gath?
ered for their annual dinner.
"Wo simply haven't got the men or
we wouldn't say our backs are against
the wall," said Colonel Hunter. "We
bend but never break, but for God's
sake get there before we die."
Tho much heralded army of "a mill?
ion British reserves" is nothing but a
"newspaper army," Colonel Hunter de?
clared. Every available British sol?
dier has been utilized in India, China,
Somaliland, Turkey, Persia, South Af?
rica, and in more than a score of other
places which, there being Germans in?
trenched, are "just as truly battle
fronts as Northern France," he pointed .
out. j
France Not Only Front ?
"England is actually fighting a world j
war on no less tnan thirty-seven
tronts," he continued. "You who sing j
'Over There* and such songs seem to
feel that France is the only front.
"The war may be lost in France, it is
true. But it. may not be won in Fiance.
And while you are winning 'over there'
Germany is quietly marching over this
world?with the Russians, with the
Turks, with whoever will go with her.
And when you're done with your shindy
over in France Germany will be a world
power.
"You people with the black coats are
the real general staff of the armie?. j
You don't want to hear me talk unles?
I can give you some truths. There is
altogether too much talk anyway. Sol?
diers don't want to hear about liberty
and democracy; they want to know
their task and get at it. I talk to you |
in the hope that you can influence Lon- j
don.andif Qttoawa and Washington to j
do something. '
"Get them to do something in Rus- ;
sia. One year ago 15,000,000 of the I
finest soldiers in the world were fight?
ing for the Allies?the Russians. Don't
forget the maximum effort of Germany
for the first years of the war was di?
rt cted against the Russian front. Now ?
there are 2,000,000 Russian graves
along what used to be that front. But ;
as a result the British took Bagdad, !
and German influence has disappeared
from Persia and Afghanistan all on
account of the Russians.
"That ought to give you a better
idea of the Russians than that they
are mere cowards. It should stop you
throwing mud at them, even though
j they are now Bolsheviks. They went
out of the war because they were boat- .
j en?beaten by a superior military
I power. I have traveled Rusia from
I one end to another and fought with
j its people, and I know the one thing
! they hate is the thought of German
domination. They have their hands out
| to us and we should do something be- i
fore Germany does."
Must Sink Personal Ambitions j
The difficulties encountered by Great j
Britain in repelling the German in- j
fluerico and arms in Singapore, the ''?
Cameroon Islands, India and South At- '
rica were recounted by Colonel Hun- ?
ter. Few persons in America, he said, ?
r??alize that Great Britain at one time
had more than 1,000,000 men in South* ?
Africa. In Mesopotamia, he said, one
of the greatest obstacles to successful j
operations was personal ambition on i
the part of military officials.
"If per-son?l ambition is allowed to
enter into this war we ought to lose i
it, and we will," he declared. "A short
tim<3 ago I visited Ottawa, and, as a
soldier, I was perfectly disgusted with
what I found. For one thing, there
seemed to br; not one army, but three
armies, each with its particular view.
Ono wanted, to go to France #nd the
others had their particular wants, I
forget what."
Colonel Hunter concluded with an
appeal to his hearers not to subscribo
to "newspaper campaigns'' for counter
offensive actions in Franco at this
time.
"There are not enough men to win
in France now, that is the plain fact,"
he said. "Get it into your heads that
Germany must be stopped everywhere
?not only in France. Let's stop hrr
in Russia. Force action in Washing?
ton, London and Ottawa, and let's stop
this damn talk about Russian treach?
ery."
Sir Robert Falconer, president of the
club, said that Canada is supplying
more than 40 per cent of the men for
the Royal Flying Corps. Toronto Uni?
versity men who have entered the ??or- i
vice number 4,500, he said, and of this
number :!7r? have been killed,
J. A. Haskell, formerly of the Du
Pont Powder Company, but now en?
gaged in aviation motor production for
the government, said that Liberty mo- ?
tor production would begin in quantity
during the auinmer. The ordnance de?
partment this week, he also declared,
would test a new machine gun which
contains only l'A pieces instead of the
160 component part? of the Browning
gun.

THE NEW ALLIED MOVEMENT IN THE BALKANS
The arrows show sume of the points where the Allies were reported
yesterday to have engaged with the foe on the Balkan front: (1) Along
the Albanian front, held by the Italians; (2) at the Cerna bend southeast
of Monastir; (3) south of Doiran. In addition, Paris says there was
fighting along the whole line.
Military Comment
By William L. McPherson
Yesterday was another day of comparative quiet on the Western
front. More local activity was reported in the neighborhood of Lens and
Albert than further north in the Lys Valley salient.
German preparations for another attack in force are still under
way. The Allies must stand and wait, and they can fully afford to do
so. It is well to remember that the initiative cannot pass from one side
to the other in the midst of a great military operation like that now
under way in France and Belgium. Conditions forbid it. They deter?
mine in advance which side is to assume and retain the defensive.
Sound Allied policy requires the avoidance of a bid for a decision
until the natural preponderance of the Entente in man power can be
brought to bear. France, Great Britain and Italy must wait until
America enters the war on a scale corresponding in some degree to her
military resources.
Germany, on the other hand, has elected to take advantage of the
temporary equalization of her strength on the West front with the
strength of the Allies. She wants to reap the advantages of the Rus?
sian collapse. It is a gamble for her?a gamble dictated by political as
well as by military considerations. The Allies would play into Ger?
many's hand by rashly risking a counter offensive equal in scope to
Hindenburg's present offensive. Thsy are limited by the requirements
of their situation to local counter blows?to attacks which, however
heavily delivered, will really constitute only an offensive-defensive.
For the first time ,in weeks brisk lighting was reported yesterday all
along the Sal?nica front. The Allies -were probably making a demon?
stration there in order to deter Bulgaria from sending troops to France
or Italy. The German High Command has had agents in Sofia for some
days past, who are urging Ferdinand to help the Germans out in l'icardy
and Flanders?possibly by replacing on the Piave line German divisions
which have been hurried north. One such division was identified the
ether day in the Somme region by the French Intelligence Department.
Ferdinand is a very selfish and sparing monarch. He will doubtless
welcome an excuse to keep his armies at home?all the more so since
he is reported to be greatly annoyed by the evident purpose of Germany
and Austria-Hungary to turn Bessarabia over to Rumania as a com?
pensation for the loss of the Dobrudja. Title to the Dobrudja, under
the treaty whiph von K?hlmann and von Czernin recently made with
Rumania, rests with the Quadruple Alliance, and not with Bulgaria.
; This is another grievance which the crafty Czar of the Bulgarians
\ cherishes.
The Allied army in Macedonia has been, on the whole, a non-pro
j ductive investment. Its role has been a negative one?to .defend
Greece and to contain in the Balkans a certain number of Bulgarian
and Turkish army corps. It may be of service in the present crisis in
the West if it engages in demonstrations more or less threatening, which
will prevent the stripping of this front for Hindenburg's benefit.
The Official Statements
LONDON, April 22 ?-Field Marshal Haig's reports from head?
quarters in France to-day said:
NIGHT Hostile raids attempted early this morning south of the
Somme, in the neighborhood of Ilamel, and south of La Bass?e Canal,
opposite Cambrin, were repulsed.
Northwest of Festubert, under cover of the bombardment reported this
evening, the enemy succeeded in capturing an advanced post, which had
already changed hands several times during the recent fighting.
As a result of another successful minor operation which we carried
out in the Robecq sector, we advanced our line slightly and cupturod
sixty-eight prisoners. Bodies of hostile infantry assembled in this neigh?
borhood wore engaged by our artillery.
UAY--Early in the night a strong local attack, accompanied by heavy
shelling, was made by the enemy against our positions in the neighbor?
hood of Mesnil, north of Albert. After sharp fighting, in the course of
which the enemy succeeded in capturing one of our advanced posts, the
attack was repulsed. We improved our positions slightly during the
night in the Villers-Bretonneux, Albert and Robecq sectors.
A number of successful raids wera carried out by us at different
points south and north of Lens, resulting in the capture of prisoners and
machine guns.
There has been considerable artillery activity on both sides on dif?
ferent sectors of the British front. The enemy's shelling has been directod
chiefly against our positions astride the Somme and Ancre rivers, in
the Lens sector, in tho neighborhood of Festubert, and in the Nieppe
Forest.
Artillery Very Active, Paris Reports
PARIS, April 22.?The War Office announcements to-day said:
NIGHT There is nothing to report to-day except quito pronounced
artillery activity in the region of Montdidier and Noyon.
On April 20 and 2J four Gorman airplanes and two captivo balloons
were destroyed by our pilots, and a fifth was brought down by our in?
fantry lire. Sixteen enemy machines fell inside their own lines badly
damaged after aerial engagements.
In the same period our bombing airplanes carried out numerous
sorties. Forty-nine thousand kilos of projectiles wore dropped on rail?
way stations, cantonments and enemy aviation grounds in the region of
St. Quentin, Jassy, Chaulnes, Roye, Ham, Guiscard and Asfeld. Two
fire? broke out, in the Chaulnes station and the Asfeld station. A
munitions depot east of Guiscard was exploded.
DAY A German raid last night east of the Avre, in tho region of Thon
nes, was repulsed. Wo took prisoners. Another German raid eii3t of
Rheims gained no greater success. Active artillery fighting continued i
nt different points on the front. !
Prevented British Crossing Canal, Berlin Reports
BERLIN, April 22.?The official communications from general head- j
quart its to-day said:
DAY On tho battle-front? there were local infantry operations. Enomy
attempts to advance across La Bass?e Canal to the northwest of Bethuno
failed under our fire.
North of Albert we captured eighty-eight British, including two of?
ficers, and took twenty-two mino throwers and n few machino guns.
Tho artillery buttle revived only In a few sectors. On the rest of the
front tho lighting activity remained within mod?rate bounds, Southwest
of Altkirch (AUuce), we took some prisoners during,,? reconnoitring ad?
vance.

Gains; Italians Re?
pulse Attack
LONDON, April 22.?Great fighting
activity has begun on all sectors of the
Balkan front, it was officially an?
nounced in Taris to-day. British,
French, Serbian and Italian troops have
engaged in lively clashes with the en?
emy, in which the advantage has rested
with the Allies.
Apparently the forces of many races
facing the Germans, Austrians, Turks
and Bulgarians in a great semi-circle
sweeping from the Adriatic to the
?Egean have begun a general attack
with the object of forcing the enemy
to maintain his forces at full strength
and to prevent withdrawals to rein?
force the Teuton armies in France and
Belgium.
Recently there have been intimations
that Bulgarian troops soon would reach
the Western theatre of war in large
? numbers. Indeed, some of them, ac
! cording to German official announce
! ment, are already there, constituting
; with the Austro-Hungarlans a reserve
army.
To Hold Up Bulgar Aid
The Kaiser not long ago went to Bu?
charest with various German digni?
taries, ostensibly to settle certain Bal?
kan questions, but really, it was re?
ported from Switzerland, to demand
greater aid in the west from Bulgaria.
The present Allied demonstration on
the Balkan front is probably a kind of
holding action to prevent the Bulga?
rian Czar from giving promised as?
sistance to his fellow autocrat. An in?
dication that it was coming was re?
cently disclosed in a heavy raid, dur?
ing which a number of Bulgarian vil?
lages were occupied.
Gains by Serbians
The Paris communication says that
Serbians near Vetrenik captured an
"important enemy work" and held, it
against violent enemy counter attacks.
The British brought 'jack pi isoners
south of Doiran.
The enemy assaulted Italian ad?
vanced posts in the Italian sector, but
without success, according to the
French statement. A communique is?
sued in Rome to-day said that Italian
troops at dawn Saturday inflicted se?
vere losses on' German advanced posts,
wiping out one of them.

who participated in the battle, show
that the Americans stuck to their guns
while the Germans wore placing liquid
fire, gas and almost every other con?
ceivable device of frightfulness on
them. One of them, who lay wounded
in an American hospital to-day, kept
his machine gun going after the chief
gunner had been killed, two feet away,
and he himself had been wounded, thus
protecting a turn in the road known as
dead man's curve, over which some of
the American couriers passed in the
face of a concentrated enemy fire.
That the enemy's losses were so se?
vere that he changed his mind and was
cured of his beliof that it was going
to be a walk over, was indicated by
his feeble artillery fire yesterday and
to-day. Despite the driving rain, how?
ever, the American artillery showed
signs of animated activity. The of?
ficers and men were in fine spirit, even
the wounded laughing and joking.
Great Preparations
Made for Attack
On Pershing's Men
iliy Tlie AMOoUtert 1'fcas)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sunday, April 21.?When an
entire regiment, reinforced by storm
troops, attacked the sector held by
American troops neur Seicheprey, Gen?
eral Pershing's men fought the most !
serious engagement they have as yet i
experienced. The attack was made by
a considerable force, and indications I
show that important preparations were
made for it.
Unusual precautions were immedi?
ately tulun along the whole sector of
the front as soon as tho Gorman inten?
tion was known. An extremely heavy
hostile bombardment with poison gas
shells opened in the night and lasted
until 5 o'clock in tho morning. At that
hour tho enemy infantry dashed for-!
ward, preceded by storm troops which j
had been brought to the scene especial-1
ly for the attack after preliminary !
training on ground similar to the sector
held by the American troops.
The assault was over a line 2,000
yards in length, and at several placea
the enemy succeeded in entering the
American lines. They even entered and
occupied Seicheprey, where the Ameri?
cans holding that position offered the
most stubborn defence. Without a mo?
ment's delay, following their retire?
ment at Seicheprey, the. -Americans or?
ganized, with the French, a counter at?
tack, which was carried out brilliantly,
driving the Germans out of the village
and taking a number o? prisoners. The
lighting did not cease until lute in the
afternoon.
The severest encounters occurred in
Renncre3 Wood, where the Germans
had taken a firm hold at diuvn despite
the most strenuous defence by small
bodies of Americans stationed there.
The French and American troops joined
in the counter attack on this section of
the line, eventually succeeding in oust?
ing the enemy.
The amalgamated troops worked in
closest cooperation and by the end of
the day were able to score a complete
victory nr.d restore their lines as they
were before the engagement. In this
vicinity many prisoners fell into the
hands of the. Allies, while the barbed
wire aVid shell-pitted ground was cov?
ered with German corpses.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
; FRANCE, April 21,?Two low-flying
| German airplanes were brought down
i Saturday by American machine gun
| ners during the German attack i and
I about Seicheprey, northwest of Toul.
! The machine gunnel.; who bagged the
'? Germans had been ordered to retire,
but they remained in their position
1 and fought effectively against the
i enemy aviators.
; During the engagement the Germans
: concentrated 'their artillery lire on the
American telephone and telegraph
j wires, which were cut many times.
| Couriers were forced to pass through
! two or three barrages in order to main
: tain communication. In the meantime
? the men of the signal corps, many
of them smoking Cigarettes in face of
a heavy bombardment, restored the
? wires almost as fast as the enemy
shells disrupted them.
Ambulance men ventured into No
? Man's Land during the thick of the
1 light and did heroic work in gathering
' up wounded. One German, who had
offered to surrender, attempted to
explode a bomb on the ground as three
| Americans approached him. Another
; soldier, however, discovered the trick
' and hurled a grenade at the German.
One of tho German's legs was blown
off, and he died later, a prisoner of the
men he attempted to blow up.
A village near the front lines which
[ the'correspondent visited to-day tells
a mute tais of Saturday's fighting.
There are huge shell holes in the
s'treets, and parts of the church and
other buildings have been blown off.
The enemy lire became so hot here
that Salvation Army girls, who had
been serving coffee and doughnuts to
the Americans, were forced to leave.
The girls protested, saying they were
not afraid of the Germans, and wanted
to stay in their dugout, but the officers
did not wish to take the responsibility.
As they left, the girls were cheered by
soldiers returning from the front lines.
'"We're Just Beginning"
"Tell them back home that we are
just beginning," said a lad, who Mas
in the thick of the fight, his back now
almost perforated with shrapnel. "It
was fine to see our men go at the
Huns. All of us who thought baseball
was the great American game have
changed our minds. There is only one
j game to keep the American flag flying
J ?that is, kill the Huns. 1 got several
before they got me."
The other men in the hospital were
of the same spirit, while in a nearby
ward was a wounded German prisoner,
who, it develops, was spared after he
had thrown up his hands, at the same
time having concealed bombs with
which he intended to kill Americans.
I This fellow in sulky manner waved off
the American guard with one hand. A
nurse said he had given more trouble
than all the Americans combined.
There appears little doubt that the
Germans thought they would go
through the American line, as they
said once they would go through
"Great Britain's contemptible little
army."
The enemy made another attempt at
a line occupied by the American troops
on the right bank of the Meuse soon
after the uttack near Seicheprey. Sixty
of tho enemy started u raid, but were
repulsed by a heavy fire.
Some of the Germans reached the
American entanglements and were left
dead, hanging to the wire. But the
enemy carried o?r all his wounded.
An American raid against the enemy
line near by was carried out about the
same time, and one of the raiding
force was brought back dead and one
wounded.
