Tho groat Gorman drive which be

the British made cousldornblo of a

Tommies retired In good order to tho

been nblo to hold tho Gormtuis hordes.
In this drive tho Germans hnvo had, It
Is estimated, over a million mon, and
their casualties nro plowed at from
thirty to forty por cent, thus showing
that the small advantage thoy hnvo
gained has beon nt an enormous cost
of man ptwor.
The big German gun, which Is
bombarding Paris from a dlstnnco of
seventy-two miles was again nctiro
ftr a short tloomrotsyhowogcytrhdl
for u short time yesterday. Tho dam
age done by this gun has boon com
paratively slight nnd not cojninon

Fdltorlally tho Omaha Beo says:
"Opinion is growing that tho thrust
as tho last dosporato attempt of tho
Gormnns to break through and es
tablish thomsolves In 'positions that
support their frcquontly rejected pro

of equal Intensity Is yet to come.

"Hoavy Iosbcs have beon Inflicted on
the enemy by our artlllory and

"A heavy attack delivered by fresh
