Fighting on West Front More Active
LONDON, Feb. 12. King George and Premier Lloyd
George, the former addressing the House of Lords and
.the latter the House of Commons, replied to the utter
ances of the spokesman of the. Teutonic, allies that there
would be no basis of peace until they fulfill the demands
of the democratic governments.
The addresses of the prime minister and the monarch
were one with President Wilson's speech. King George
said that recognizing the basic principles of an honorable
peace it was the duty of the Jiritish to prosecute the war
with all the vigor they possessed. '
- Lloyd George said that President 'Wilson's estimate,
of Chancellor licrtliug's and Foreign Minister Cwrniu's
speeches was a correct" one.- lie said that the British had
not ree.eueu one iota prom their announced war aims.
On the west front the lnilitary'activities are increas
ing. Patrol encounters are being carried out by increas
ingly large parties and more zest is being added to the
lighting.
The British at Epehy and La liassee have made further
incursions into the enemy positions; at the, latter sector
the infanti'y have taken numerous prisoners and machine
guns. "
On the Ailette River and in the Woevre sector, the
French niade successful attacks, resulting in the capture
of :(X) prisoners. A somewhat ambitious attack in the
latter sector was repulsed by the. French with severe
casualties. - , .
. Between-the Germans and the Americans there is a
constant exchange of artillery fire and the Americans con
tinue to carry out patrol manociivcrs toward the enemy
trenches. The Germans seem anxious to guage the posi
tions occupied by the Americans and also to ascertain the
number of men they arc employing, for daily their aircraft
are hovering over our lines, taking photographs and mak
ing observations. The American anti-aircraft guns have
driven off the enemy craft.
On the Italian front the Austrians have made a test
of the strength of the Italian lines in the Setti Cominuni
Plateau sector. The German war office asserts that the
Austrians carried off a successful attack here. The
Italian official communication declares that the Austrian
coluninu were torn to pieces by the Italian artillery as
they tried to gain 1 lie slope of Monte Sosso Rosso and
other positions and that the offensive was completely re
pulsed. The constant increase in the number of aerial nttacks
by the Allies' airmen on German towns is reported by the
Germans. Thirty-one raids occurred in January, accord
ing to the German official statement, which says that the
Allies lost four machines.
o

.The consensus of opinion was that the situation was!
not discouraging. The events apparently set free enorin-j
ons numbers of Germans for service on the western front!
and also opened up for the Teutonic allies a new srfurec'
of food sup dies, but many facts detract from the advan
tage that the Central Fowers may derive. -
One of the threats dwelt upon in public discussion is
the fear that 1,500,000 prisoners of war iu Russia will be
released for active military service on the west front. The
fact is saiil to be, however, that a great many soldiers cap
tured by the Russians are Austrians, who will not be
available for for west front service, according to present
indications. It is also stated that the prisoners on account
of their health would be of doubtful military value. It is
also suggested that the failure of the Russian transpor
tation system, deliberately crippled by the Germans,
would militate against the ability of the Central Rowers
to get food supplies.

Just think what .this little, sum will do! .For 25 cents we will enter )our

bacco and cigarets to our boys iu France. In the kit will be a postal card
stamped and addressed to you, and on the kit will be a request to the soldier
asking him to write a message to you on the postal and mail it.
The Red Cross takes charge of these kits of smoking material rnd dis
tributes them; the French government sends back the postal bearing a one
cent United States stamp and admits the tobacco free of duty.
Surely if as busy an organization s the Red Cross Society and as pre
occupied officials as those of the French government will do these things to
see that our soldiers get a chance to smoke, it isn't asking much to ask you
to set aside one cent a day for the purpose.
Send in your contributions of any amount 25 cents, $1.00, $5.00, or more.
For every 25 cents that you give, a separate postal bearing your name goes
to the front.
