Who will be among the twenty men

. ==? The
statement of the British war
office that troops west of St. QtiwhtIb
are felling beet to prepared positions
indicates that the Germans, although
they hare broken through the British
defensive system, hare not pierced j
the entire British zone of defense.
The allusion Is the statement to the |
defensive system may be only to the
main battle front behind which other
Unes have bees prepared.
If that Is the ease the Germans have
done little more than repeat what the
British did In the battle of the Soznzne
when they pierced the Hlndenbnrg
line forcing Germans to retreat to prepared
positions in the rear.
A UO MyciiMiv?e w? ?%? 0
forces in other campaigns show that
the Germans u they progress are likely
to -And their movements more difficult
and the resistance of the British
more effective.
The more deeply they strike Into the
British line the further they must
move from their bases which entails
increasing difficulties in bringing up
supplies. They must move forward
over a devastated area while British
have great advantage of good roads
and railroads. Perhaps the greatest
problem of Germans will be to bring
up their heavy artillery.
In every previous campaign It has
been necessary for the advancing;
forces to halt frequently while bringing
up heavy guns.
The extent of the British defenses |
has been a subject of much specula-,
tlon but it is known they have been \
greatly improved during the winter..
Earlier in the war when the offensive
rested with the French and British I
less attention was paid to positions in
the rear, the British in particular were
said to scorn elaborate defensive zone
such as the Germans bad constructed.
After the defection of Russia and the
consequent increase of German
strength in the west it became necessary
for the allies to consider defensive
measures which were carried out
during the winter.

Owing to the splendid responses
that have been made by the public for

Will you organize this demonstration?

done in every town in your county.
Must keep up with procession.
