It to an extent the relative position in regard to reserves is a matter of conjecture but what information is available on the subject warranty a decidedly More confident Outlook than could be based full present on the actual trend of the Battle. We Are told to Day by the British Quot High military authority1�?T that so far Ocif has used Only a Small portion of his reserves. It is not in doubt that Given time the allies arc Cap a to of establishing i decisive superiority in numbers As in other factors of fighting strength. The immediate Issue at stake is whether the enemy is capable of developing an attack formidable enough to give him Victory lie fore Tho allies Are enabled by a development of their resources in which America has a big part to play to recover the initiative and resume the offensive in Superior strength. At its face value the Assurance that general focus has not vet made any serious inroads upon ins reserves heavily discounts the otherwise somewhat unpromising aspect of the Battle and the Assurance is in Harmony with information from other sources. Apart from French British and italian troops the reserves at general focus of disposal include practically Tho whole of the american units thus far sent to France.

For progressive people Quot no rubbing laundry help Quot Golden rules soap Quot Golden rules Candice. Evans and Cragg upper Willie , the question of. Reserve sit is quite possibly that Tho germans have paid a ruinous Price in lives for every Yard of ground won in the Western theatre but today a reports leave no room for doubt in regard to the terrific Strain under which the Allied Amigos Aro fighting. These reports show that in Tho latest Battles the allies made a determined attempt to solidly Block the enemy s Advance and that in Flanders Gallant efforts to this end have for the Timo at least been Only Parte by successful. In the South there is a different tale to Tell. Attacks made at great Cost South of the Somme had Given Tho enemy Possession of the Village of Villers Breton neut with High ground commanding both sides of the Somme Valley to a Point beyond Macins but Tho position in this area has been retrieved by a counter stroke which in any other War than this would have commanded the astonishment Ancl admiration of the whole world As an astounding feat of arms. Thanks to the australians who took Tho leading part in this Enterprise and to the other British troops engaged the allies Are again in full Mastery of the Gateway through which the enemy must break in order to reach Amiens. A less satisfactory state of affairs is reported in Flanders. When the German offensive opened the allies were established on Chain of ridges in Flanders and Northern Franco extending from the Southern fringe of the inundated front in Flanders to the Mes Sinca Ltd dec and then turning West from the latter Elevation throw High Flanders and Northern Franco to Kassel 18 Miles West of Messines. On these ridges the Allied armies overlooked a a wide extent of the Flanders Plain to the East and to Tho South Tho Low country on both sides of the Lys in which Tho enemy has thus far chiefly developed he a Northorn offensive. A valuable element in this Chain of High ground was lost when the messes i Ridge was captured by the enemy. The Masscho Ndallo Milidge to Tho Northeast was soon afterwards Given up. It is Rio pith of to Day s news of Tho Northern operations that the enemy has captured Mont Kummel which continues Tho Chain Westward from Messines and is striving desperately to of Encl his grip to High ground still further West As a result not Only Ypres itself but Tho Low country West of that place Are imminently threatened. It is quite True As one correspondent Points out that Tho Ypres salient chiefly valuable As jumping off ground for the recovery of Tho flemish coast and that the salient is of secondary importance now that this objective is for the time being out of reach. Tho Flanders ridges Are Worth less to Day than when there were prospects of an Early British Advance threatening not Only Tho flemish coast but the enemy a main communications at Lille. But these facts have greater weight As they apply to the positions in which the allies have hitherto been lacing East into Flanders than in reference to the ios scr reported to Day. The loss of Mont item Mcle assuming that this Hill is or the time Heing firmly held by the enemy Inis seriously weakened the Allied position from the defensive Point of View. But while hero can lie no doubt in regard to the tension of the existing situation and the dangers it holds it is certain that the determining Factor is not the ability of Tho germans to win Unis or that position at a. Prico but the strength and numbers of Tho reserves available on either Side. Leaving out of account Tho vagaries of Fortune deeper inroads into her manpower than either France or Britain and she is More than a year ahead of France in prematurely calling up her annual classes of recruits. Blie has nothing to set against the vast resources of America but Tho Hope of forcing a decision before they can be brought to Bear. _ As information stands she to receiving no great assistance in her Western Campaign from her tallies. It is asserted to Day that there Are bulgarian troops in Tho Western theatre but the North German Gazelle is quoted As denying that Large masses of austrians have been sent to Tho West front. Thero is certainly no definite indication As yet that Germany has received or can rely upon receiving any Large measure of outside Aid except perhaps in the matter of austrian artillery. It is distinctly possible that if the whole truth in regard to reserves were Laid Bare the Battle would be seen to be developing less favourably from the enemy s Point of View than late events at an immediate View would of the War to in mingling fire. There is Little flu but that to Days news foreshadows its vac Tulinn a tin Ypres salient came into prominence in jul l. When sin John French As he then was reluctantly abandoned in that year the project a of developing a turning movement against the German Northern armies by Way of the Mcnine Load life elected to remain and defend the ground which had been won in furtherance of that project cast of Ypres. During two and a Hall years of War the Ypres salient was hold under bombardment by an enemy advantageous posted on High ground an d against his most formidable attacks. The original area of the salient was reduced lint it Ivas maintained As a standing threat to the enemy line. In the British offensive of last year the salient was opened out on North and South and the enemy lost All the advantages he had formerly enjoyed on this Section of Tho front.

Personal items -4--- from the latest reports in hand it would seem that the Brilliant counter attack of the australians at Villers bretons eur told heavily on the enemy and that the latter is not yet in condition to resume his. Attempts to Advance along til i Dunedin arrived in Somme Valley. In Flanders also Len yesterday morning the enemy is Venor led to to now firmly held but in widely different circumstances. As has been said the capture of Mont Kemmel by the germans raises an immediate threat to Ypres and to the Low country West of that place. But Tho enemy has a so greatly improved his position from the Point of View of a further movement Westward to Vai is Hazebrouck. He is still a in Ivy held on the Southern flank of his Advance but Mont Kemmel was a very Strong position flanking his Quot on Tho North Advance it tug dutch government obviously is passing through a very anxious time. Holland is faced with the veiled threat of invasion by Germany and in the of vent of her escaping this danger by conceding Germany a desires she is faced with the certainty of the Complete blockade of her ports by the allies the ruin of her Trade the seizure _ of the greater part of her shipping and Tho possible loss of her very important overseas possessions. Holland has proved a Good Friend to Germany throughout the War. There can be no doubt Oil that Point. Germany has drawn largely through Holland for food supplies Arnof Materia necessary for War munitions and a substantial part of these supplies has been secured by false pretences and in Defiance of restrictions imposed by the allies the allies owe Little to Holland the germans . Yet it is quite keeping with German methods that Tho German government should now threaten to devastate a. Country which has rendered valuable service but can do so in the Way no longer. Since America came into the War and Tho restrictions on supplies to Holland wore drastically curtailed dutch merchants and traders Havo not been Able to pass on to Germany anything like the volume of necessaries which meant so to the German people. Germany however now demands supplies of another nature chiefly gravel for military purposes and also makes ado about the acquiescence of Tho dutch government after formal protest Iii Tho seizure by America Quot of dutch shipping the fact is that the shipping seizure is strictly permissible under International Law and Germany of Courso knows this. But to gain her ends she throws the onus on the dutch government.
