War Critic Looks For Early Counter Attacks by Allies

nv n:.K 11. mmovi Ncnx-Tink's anI ..-c iatl Neu -paper Military Cr ilk. M;V YOUK. .March -H. The wrnti day of Um of lJcinly a maw-Hal but not a tlrrUhe turn In llit tide of allin! fortune. The iomian or. frnlip ha lrn definitely halt ei! north of tho Somme hetuecn Arras and the western ciJse of Albert. South of the Somme, the Ilritish luie 1olI nJon the rirr and rcn brought off a mic. vful local munter attack, north of the Olsr and oU of the oon and -:ivt of Ii:-ny. the I'rench art holding lirmly, only on tlw plain of Santerre, et of Itoye and of Chan Ines, has the .cnnan drle continued with miih meavure of its old force. A- naJnt this r-ont 1iuh1 lrie. which Is now plainly dirc'ted at Amiens, 20 in ihr away and threatens to open a sap lctwceii the lYcnch aiul British lines, may re th fact that IVcncli res are reiorieil arrlln from the south and J'HtUh reserves are reorted nIo on the way.' Ilejond UiU povitiorj of tlie (iermans them-eltcs in an ccr narrowing writer. Is iKxtmiin uncr:nfortnllo and Iwlnnln to incite a counter ofTcn-hc.

It Is not safe yet to say that tlx end of the fjcrman advance is In Uzht hut there art? many slSTis which point In -hat direction. After seeral days of terrilic effort the flcrmans have, failed to crush the Kritisli armies Ijcfoie them, they liae failed to pen a cp U'twrcti the Ilritish

and Trench armies, and they an now manifestly weary and hae ei to meet the allied fvniutrr stroke. Aiwas in the pat tlie great offen! ! i'wii when they have l'iietrated the enemy line lune tended to gTow narrower and narrower as they advanced until the operative front Iwcame too narrow for surtv-ful further advance. While the flank became longer and longer and more cxd despite the fact that this is the. icaest of all offcnhes the simc thins i Iiappenlnsr. Tlie attacking front a week aso was ,"o miles wide. It is Ics than -0 now, and it is still narrowlns. It will le equally a mistake to underrate or to exasperate the (ierman miccin. Tlie kaiser set out to win a decision by cru-di-l:iS the Ilritish armies U-fore him, .-eparatins them from the ItciicIi and rollins them liack upon the crwt as Sir John Moore's army was rolled back upon the Coninna In the reninsular war. He was secklns. alcove all to cnisli his chief foe, the llriton and it was to destroy the British army; not to take any local objective: nut to advance any dim immN'r of miles, that he launched his attack. Now at the end of one week the ficrman has advanced rather more than 'JO miles on a broad front, takins hundreds of suns and thousands of prisoners. lie has broken all the British lines of defenses and carried the war Inlo the ojK'n; a tiring not achieved lefore in the west since the battle of the Ahne !csan in Scptcnilicr. 101 1. His prosres-s has made British

adances at the Somme and In I landers. Trench gains in Champasne and the A Uno, seem utterly insignificant: he has achieved a real rupture of Hie British front. But since tlie time he broke ibe IlritUli front In lus not been aMe to separate the various British armies or eicn dUUions. Twi-e on the oint of neoomplMiins thi- north of the Somme. on Saturday und on Monday, be has iMJth times just mised what would hair brought a diater to hi rneinie. .

This i the Marne campaign all oer again; hut the .Marne eomIaign lefore the sueresf ul conti ter attack was latnichetl :iIoiit Taris, and in the lYcncli ' -enter alnnit the .Marals, by Maunry and I'oeh. The moment is arriving v. hen the allies will hae a real chance to counter attack a weary enemy far from his rail heads and his munitions, with a desert hehind him and hut a few lindestroyed roads to bring, up his supplies upon. There is still the clear chance for an allied disaster. The UritMi have been terribly beaten in many pans of the line. Their soldiers lune been outnumlcrc'J heavily i nd the strain must recall the .-train of the retreat from Möns although the distances have lccii inconsiderable by comparison. The (iemians still hae the advantage of numbers and the exhilaration which comes with success, but the chances of such an allied disaster has lcen lessening: very rapidly in the last two days and should disappear in the next two, if there 1k no major change In the situation. The Germans hate won the greatest victory in the history of western trench warfare. They have gained at least a thousand Mpiare miles of Trench soil, devastated H be sure, but the prize oT two ;.tars of allied campaigning, purchased by more than a miüion 1. 1 lied casualties, but at the end of the first week they have won only a local vietory and there is every sign that the combat Is lcginniiig to the clown into the old positional fighting. I'or the next few hours the important things to watch are the wedge which the flcrmans arc trying to drive in south of the Somme loward Amiens, the vital center of Ilritish communications Inhiiul their front and the signs of an allied counter offensive. If the wedge is driven more deeply or the front of the wedge widened we shall have a new ;-riis, and if it continues to narrow the (Germans will court disaster by further advance, by inviting allied counter orfensites on both Hanks. Always in military operations like the resent the chances of a complete disatcr diminih with each successive day. At llrst the anny assailed is driven from Its prepared Ksltions, it loses men. guns. Its communications are cut by barrages and its transport is disorganized, and thus for twa or three dajs the retreating force is threatened with complete rout and utter diorganiation lis ti? withdraws, leaving guns. his wounded, his supplier. But if the enemy cannot press his ini;i;.l advantage to a final iue in the lirst two or three days the pendulum begins to swing back. Time has been allowed the defeated forces to call up reserves of men and of guns. New positions arc prepared behind the retreating force and his condition glows daily more fa torable. fjr he is marching toward his supplies with good roads before him. while he is leaving destroyed roads !chind him, over which h's pursuer must march, away and from his supplies and munitions. And always recognizing the obvious danger that there may be a collapse of some too badly t rained unit at some ioint: that then may le a local failure which will lead to a general breakdown, it is fair to say that the allied armies are further from any real decisive defeat than they have lccii at anv time since the firsf blow fell. They art still retiring on a considerable front, but the rate of retirement is declining, the number of their counter attacks is increasing, and the arrival of their reserves is regular and mut increase.

"If you will do only one-hundredth part of what the German people are dolns? we will win this war, and win it quickly, but if you neglect or fail to do your part we will fail. I was not in the trenches 2 4 hours before I was convinced beyond the vestive of a doubt that right was on our side, and sooner or later the side abetted by the right must surely win." So spoke Sergt. Maj. John Anderson, proud possessor of scars of battle, before a capacity audience in the high school auditorium Wednesday evening. SerRt. Anderson's career as a fighter commenced when he had attained the not very mature ase of 16. He enlisted with the Royal Scots, and served in that famous regiment for nine years. The outbreak of the IJoer war carried him to South Africa. The-e ho became affiliated with the mountain infantry, and received numerous medals for distinguished service. With the coming of peace he came to this country and eventually settled in Hamilton. Ontario. Can., where lie was employed by the Westinghouse Klectric Co. There his wife and children are still living. Menilcr of Frontiersmen. Many years before the beginning of the present war Srgt. AnderFon became & member of the Frontiersmen, an organization of British fighting men K all parts of the world, including Germany, whose members pledged themselves to rally arüunJ the British cause in time of trouble. The English declaration of war ujon Germany was made on Aug. 4th, 1914. There was no hesitancy on the part of the Frontiersmen, but their mobilization machinery did not move fast enough to satisfy the fighting blood of Sergt. Anderson. When the Princess Pat regiment sent out a cry for volunteers the veteran of the Boer war threw in his lo: with them, and was shortly headed for the front. Praics Gallantry of Men. Sergt. Anderson strikingly portrayed his approach, entrance, and privations in the trenches. "No man with red blood In his veins," said he, "ever received a slap In the face without handing two back in return." He praised the gallentry of his comrades under fire. At intervals his speech was punctuated with a kind word for or an appreciation of his superior officers, lie told of his wounds, and the prevarications he practiced upon the medical taff that he might return to the thick of the fight. Oncv a shell exploded near him. a piec of steel entering his left forearm and breaking both bones. Within four week-?, by a clever bit of deception, he was out of the hospital, and then after a two weeks' furlough was headed for the front lines again. lie could not hold a rifle with his left arm for months but be kept on lighting and dodging medical men who would have sent him from the field. Regiment Nearly Annihilated. A fighter is Sergt. Anderson, through and through. He looks the part, bears physical testimony of It. and acts it still. He counts himself lucky to be alive after serving In the Princess Pat regiment which was all but annihilated on many different occasions. Sergt. Anderson made a direct appeal to the women to do their part. He styled the allies "the trustees of the democracy of the world." lie asked the feminine portion of his audience not to he discouraged by the terrible crimes abroad, not to be chagrined by the frightfulness of it all, but to pitch in and do everything they can to assist their brethren who are now fighting valiantly that the democratic form of government may survive. The speaker founded warnings against the ever present German propaganda. He requested all to put no value on the stories that Great Britain is friendly now only because she can be nothing else. Henry C. Culbettson, a Hoover aide, who was in Germany at the outbreak of the war, told of the atrocities of the Huns. He recounted the terrible crimes perpetrated upon innocent Belgian and French women, and he told his listeners not to complain of the sacrifices being asked of them.

Germany has taken pote.sion of several hundred thousand square miles of fertile Russian and Roumanian territory, has confiscated what grains were on the land and has set the farmers to work raising more grain to be ued by German armie-s. Probablj-, but not certainly, enough grain will be left to keep the conquered Russian and Roumanian farmers from starving to death while they raise crops for their German inasters. Over in Russia the deiuded people thought an honorable peace could be negotiated with Germany, but they know differently now as they toil in the fields for the kaiser's eoldiert?. The only way to negotiate a peace with the kaiser is with a bayonet. We have sent ojt young men over to France to do the negotiating.
