i s french offensive on somme shows masterly steady gains being made while losses in operations have been reduced to minimum gi e a despatch from paris says the operations on the somms on wednes day were merely a detail of the offen sive and of only local bearing a ijlgh military officer explained to the associated press but significance is derived from the fact that the ger mans did not counterattack as usual never before have they failed to re act when successfully attacked and their failure to do so in this case is either a sign of weakness or more likely because of confusion of orders the precision with which the french offensive has been carried out is shown by the fact that every ob jective designated in advance of an action has been reached at mauro- pas a certain number of houses were selected and every one of them was captured and occupied it never was intended to attempt the occupation of the entire village one consequence of this precision in the french operations is the reduc tion of losses to a minimum the operations in artois and in cham pagne cost five times more than all the ground gained on the somme the purpose is to destroy the gorman forces and the francobritish dofen- sivo also has accomplished the feat of holding on the western front the greater possible portion of the ger man forces it is fallacious to figure out the probable duration of hostilities on french soil by computing the average surface of ground gained per day every time an action takes place even though the gain may bo no more than a hundred yards or so the opposition is beaten he loses heavily and the weakening moral ef fect cannot bo measured in yards it is a cumulative effect which sooner or later will wear the enemy down so that he will be unable to hold the french gains to a few hundred yards s against hero campaign follows german note to the united states respecting boats carrying guns a despatch from paris says ger- ships according to the temps the
