BIG LOSS OF MEN
FORMNMS
TO REACH CHANNEL PORTS IT
WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR THE
GERMAN ARMY TO SACRIFICE
LARGE Nl MBERS.
NEW YORK, May I.—Dangerous de
pletion of the German reserves hence
forth will be necessary if von Hinden
burg continues his effort to dislodge
the British and capture the Channel
ports, accordinfg to J. W. T. Mason,
United Press war expert.
The Battle of Ypres, which is the
first real battle for the channel ports
in the present, series of combats is in
reality a strategic struggle between
von Hindenburg and Foch. concerning
the employment of their reserves.
There is no longer any doubt but that
while up to the present'Foch has re
fused to hazard his own reserves for
defensive purposes, while von Hinden
burg has ruthlessly sacrificed his own
men. If von Hindenburg is stopped
before capturing the channel ports,
and if the Allies have n o t been thrown
into the conflict, von Hindenburg has
lost by all the rules of the war game,
as even the German people understand
them.
Not only will the total German
slaughter he very much greater than
the Allies, but also the German front
will have been extended to a useless
distance that soon must be volunta
rily shortened. The present battle,
therefore, is a gigantic struggle on the
part of Foch to save his reserves and
save the channel ports, and on the
part of von Hindenburg to use up his
reserves and win the channel ports.
Whether in the end, Foch will decide
it better to lose the ports rather than
his reserves cannot be known at pres
ent. The argument in favor of this
procedure is based on the probability
that it will require more than Ger
many can supply to keep her front in
tact to the channel towns for any con
siderable period. A long thin line
might be cut at a point that would
involve annihilation for the Germans
in Calais and Bolougne.
With a powerful American army in
France by the end of the summer to
increase the allies' reserve strength
strategy might even then be carried
out if in the meantime von Hinden
burg reaches the channel.
The Americans now fighting before
Amiens may be the nucleus for juss
such an opportunity. It is highly pos
sible they are undergoing a post-grad
uate course in trench training now
rather than that they are being used
to guard any critical point of the line
For this purpose Foch is doubtless us
ing only the best proven veterans of
the French army.
THREE MORE TO BE
SENT OFF TO ARMY
Three more men will be sent off by
the local exemption board Friday
night. Their names are not an
nounced, but will be published to
morrow. They will all be young white
men. These will go to Camp Ogle
thorpe. All others have been sent to
Camp Gordon.

MANY RAILROAD MEN THROWN
OUT OF WORK IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., May I.—More than
125 railroad freight and passenger
agents were thrown out of employ
ment when the government took over
the railroads of the country and abol
ished all offices except those abso
-1 utely necessary to the handling of
traffic, and the local commercial
bodies and launched a movement to
find positions for these men. Some
have moved to other cities, but the
majority will remain here on account
of the fact that they had boguht homes
and established their family ties in
Atlanta. Most of them are men of
middle age or older and drew good
salaries from the railroads they rep
resented. The stenographers in their
offices have experienced very little
difficulty in securing polstions, as the
demand for this class of work is very
brisk.

HUGE LOSSES ALARM
THE GERMAN PUBLIC
LONDON, May I.—A telegram from
Reuter's correspondent at Amsterdam
says
“Extr.irdiunrnervousness i nd de
pression p evail in Germany, owing
to the losses in the offensive revealed
in an article by Capt. von Salzmann
in the Vossische Zeitung, in which he
endeavors to restore their lost confi
dence to the Germans by emphasizing
the importance of the capture of Kem
mel Hill.
“Capt von Salzmann enumerates a
few of the series of rumors current
in Germany. All these stories are
prefaced by the remark, Tn the reich
stag it is said,’ and go on to say:
“Our losses have been enormous.
The offensive in the west has arrived
at a deadlock T) e enemy is much

stronger than the supreme command
assumed We are unable to continue
the offensive, owing to lack of horses.
The region before Ypres is a great
lake, and therefore impassable. The
whole country between our Amiens
front and Paris is mined and will be
blown up. The people, continues
Salzmann, have begun to lose their
nerve. Replying in the reichstag, the
minister of war said something like
this:
“It goes without saying that there
are big losses in such a struggle. Our
losses in one part of the front have
been very heavy. Two-thirds of the
company leaders in many regiments
have fallen.’
“It is said that a certain deputy
thereupon told his electors in a north
German town:
“The minister of war has openly
declared our losses to be so heavy
that the offensive must be abandon
ed.’ ”
