FOE'8 TREMENDOUS LOSS OF GUNS
Of vastly greater importance than the mere delivery of more French
territory from the Germans is the tremendous loss caused to the foe in guns and munitions. for it is this very smashinz Of U16 German armies themselves that Foch and Haig seek`more than anything else to make. Deep penetra~ tions over areas held by the foe without damaging the foe to any large extent only leaves tile way open for effectual counter-strokes, such as that at Cam- brai last Novemiber, which proved disastrous for the Allies. Now, however, the pursuit is so rapid and continuous tllat Prince Rupprecht is unable either to organize resistance or save his men from destruction.
A DIFFERENT STORY TODAY
Four years ago this month German cavalry known as the Uhlans were
pursuing and cutting up Allied regiments; today, Canadian. French and Fin!-!~ llsh mounted forces are carrying death and dismay into the enemy s land to an astonishing degree.
