The territory taken from the British, he explained, is now a devastated, torn-up waste, upon which the Germans will have but lit- toe hold, while the British will rain a torrent of flre upon them. b Speaking of the situation broadly, General Wood said that the British and French f:!t the utmost confi- in th . not alone to » Ger but to slowly beat IS The morale of the French is splendid, the general and they were sanguine, with can's help, of eventually win- ning the war. General Wood, while confident that ! the German offensive would be halt- ed before the enemy had gained any material objectives, suggested that the drive might change the warfare into a more open contest. For that reason, he recommended the training of American forces for open warfare, as well as for trench fighting. General Wood, according to mem- bers of the committee, said that al- though the initia] success of the Ger- | going expected either by the Allies or the ' h guns reported captured, he and ' allied officers believed the drive | would be short-lived. There ne possib he sald, of the Germans attaining their apparent objective, the Channel ports, or threatening Paris Bombardment of Paris by long- German artillery, Genera, Wood reported to have told the senators, is not a serious military fac- | tor and will have no effect upon the | morale of the French people. General Wood unhesitatingly told ! the committee that France and Great | Britain were disappointed at the slow- | of America in her war prepara- tions, having believed that the United | States, once in the conflict, would | show much greater force. The allied nations, he said, had counted upon America for ample tonnage to make | up for the submarine losses, and the | failure to supply It had upset theit | calculations. What America must do, General Wood declared, if she is to be of | tangible help to the Allies, is to get anywhere from 2.000.000 to 2,500,000 | men in France as soon as it can be | done. is | WASHINGTON CONFIDENT Capital Believes British and French Will Administer Hard Blows When 1 Proper Moment Arrives. ‘Washington, March 26.—Full con- fildence in the ability of the Entente | forces to hold their own in the great | battle and that at the proper mom- ent, after having fallen back to their previously prepared lines, strong counter-offensives will be lauched, is felt in Washington. | The air of confldence in military | and official circles was notable today. It was felt around the White House and the War Department and was evide: at the British and French Embassies. At both these Embas- sles confldential information was re- ceived which was declared to be ground for the belief that the British line had merely ylelded under terrific pressure and that the ine would hold. This confldence was reflected in the messake which President Wilson sent to Field Marshal Haig, express- ing admiration of the splendid stead- fastness and valor with which the British troops had withstood “the German onslaught” and the “perfect confidence all Americans feels that you will win a secure and final vic- tory.

SOLDIRS FAVE GRIEVANCE [INE NOT BROKEN | Sergeant Lucente of 30ist Machine Gun Battalion Says Local Were Overlooked. Many Boys Thomas A.

They have also been raising money for the mess funds in companies where New Britain men are serving. This money and the su lies have been duly sent to the bulk of the New Britain men in the service, especially the men at Camp Devens, Mass. Most of the New Brit- men have been benefitted by the generosity of their home ‘‘town’ friends, but there also have been a number of New Britain soldiers who have recelved nothing from their friends at home, and cannot help but feel that they have been neglected, when their own friends have helped contribute to the various funds raised for the benefit of the soldiers. This neglect is primarily because some of the New Britain soldiers are located in other companies than those which have the majority of New Britain The latter group | of men have been receiving the favors from the New Britain people, while the scattered FEW have merely heard about it These scattered ‘FEW' are also doing their bit for Uncle Sam, and it does not strike them, that they should be left out when the ‘plum pudding’ is cut. They also have thumbs with which to penetrate the pastry, and for that reason do not want to see only certain New Britain men dividing the favors, a part of which was sent by the friends of the scattered few. “THOMAS C.

MMIBE Says Battle Is Going As Expected Washington, March 26. — Major McLachlan, military attache to the British embassy, made the fol- lowing statement late yesterday to the Assoclated Pres: “This mornings news shows that our line of defense is not broken, but only bent. The battle appears, in fact, to be pursuing the course that might be expected in view of thae tremendous weight of the attack. Sc far as can be gathered the enemy has concentrated against us about half the total forces which he had on the western front; his concentration of artillery is on the same unprece- dented scale. Even so, our advanced lines were actually penetrated in a few places only. “On by far the greater part of the sector attacked, our retirement has been voluntary and in accordance with previous plans, to stronger po- | sitions. Had our first line been nowhere penetrated this retirement would in all probability have taken place just the same to have held on indefinitely would have meant un- necessary loss of life. As it is our losses have been considerable, but not excessive. The enemy on the other hand must have lost very heavily. He was attacked consist- ently In dense masses, relying to break down our defenses by sheer weight of numbers. “After gaining a few miles of war- swept territory he is now approach- ing the fir of our main defenses with many of his best division already out of commission. It may well ba that he will make a further advance it he pursues the reckless tactics of the last few days. The Allies, how- ever, can afford to walt with equanity. Germany has made no secret that she i staking everything on this blow. She has promised her people and her allies that its success will produce victory and peace. “So long as the battle ends, as is every prospect that it will end, with our armies and those of our allies intact and in a position as strong as they have ever occupied, Germany will have failed, and failed decisively. The opening of the fight- ing season of 1918 will find her with the flower of her army gone and with her people disheartened by the most spectacular and costly failure of the war. “Finally it must be remembered that the battle is still only in its first | stage. Behind our armies engaged | are the great French army and also our strategic reserves, which have not been used.” Native eggs, 45¢ doz., Russell Bros. avt. BRITISH RESERV READY. Either in France Or On Way, Haig is Informed. Gen. London, March 26.—In to Field Marhal Haig, George, the British that the men necessary those lost are either now in France | or already on their way. All guns | will be replaced and still further re- inforcements of men and guns are ready to enter the battle. The pre- mier's message follows: “The British cabinet wishes to ex- press to the army the nation’s thanks for its splendid defence. The whole empire is filled with pride as it watches the heroic resistance offered by its brave troops to overwhelming odds. “Knowing their steadfastness and courage whenever the honor of their country depends on their valor, the empire awaits with confidence the re- sult of this struggle to defeat the enemy's last desperate effort to tram- ple down the frec nations of the world. “At home we are prepared to do all in our power to help in a true spirit of comradeship.
