'lt is said that fresh -German troops are continuous- ly arriving to replace those shattered by the terrific fire of the Britisii ar- tillery when the enemy attempted to advance. ‘ .Tho British only hope that the Germans will attempt another drive and pay the sumo high price as they did for an insignificant gain last week.

The big battle began in thc morn-

INCIPENIIENI VIEW
CI BCIH LEADERS
The Boston Monitor, one of the
lctiiliiig papers in the United States and thoroughly independent. _under the caption “Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Ottawa says: -
"ln times like thc present. when the
demartd for unity, both at home and abroad, amongst the Allies is every day becoming more insistent. any man, or~body of ‘meu, attempting to impair that unity is under an urgent obligation _to supply goodreasons for such actions. The party standard is already a discredited enslgn; the ral- lying to it is even more scanty, and the political leader can no longer throw the sop of 'party shibboietlis to the Cerberus of public opinion and be sure that it will have the desired ef- fect. or anything like the desired ef- feet.
"Now when Sir Wili’rid Laurier
spoke, on a recent evenlng,.at Ottawa. he spoke as a Liberal and as the lead- er of the Liberal Party. He said. Ill
could see no difference between that party and the new Unionist Party claiming to be the only party that wanted to win the war. And. whilst he appealed to his iiudieiice to act to- gether, to “British and French, Pro- testant and Roman Catholic. to rise to the occasion and to slnk_all'difi’ ren-
ces,” he delivered n s eech the w‘H1ol9'
I1
tone of which was calculated to ren-
der itnpossible just that united] action which, ostensibly, he so muc desir-
ed.
"it is, of course, just this kind of
thing t.-hatpubilc opinion is less and less inclined to tolerate. l1\ Callaflil or anywhere else. Faced with the tremendous issues with which the al- lied world is confronted, the- claptrnp of the -political meetlns. U10 IIUYUICS of the party lender. the party battle cry, party badge, 'party platform. and all the rest of the party paruDl\0FUll: lil. are so greatl out of -place as 60 be no longer t.oI'oi°alHc. "The man docs not live who dominates Laurier' may still curry ii pnrty niootlug oil’ its feet. but allied public opinion, for Bo the matter must be viewed. is over less and less interested in such a statement, and in all that it imDl|¢§-

bullet.-i. The Germans pressed the llritish back sliglitly`-because they were willing to carry this massed at- tack principle right up to the annihi-
`iation point. Measured on the m
ap.
the ground w_hicli the Germans gain- cil -was lc-ss than one twelfth the area oi' the salient driven into their lines in the recent British drive. The ra- tio of losses in the two 'attacks niust bo as hundreds of Germans to dozens |ot' British. Undoubtedly some Gcr- lnian divisions in the new attack rc- 'iiiain as mere skeleton formations, while our divisions are intact. There _ls now a contagious spirit of .victory in the British ranks as it is felt that tho Iltrns have at last shot their bolt I on the west front and in it have failed to more than bend the British lines.
