- Elsewhere in this issue will be fou_nd an
advertisement announcing the opening of
f .v u _
a_i-whirlwind campaign to raise a fund -for
tlib*`Canadian Catholic Army Huts. 'Elie
campaign opens on Monday, August 19th
and will continue till Saturday, August 24.

when the truth leaks out in Germany, as
it is almost sure to,'there will be more curs-
ing of militarism.
There is little doubt now that the Ger-
mans will be driven out of _the salient on
the Marne front. ' How far back they will
retire, what further effort they may put
forth farther north it would be useless to
guess. The repeated failuresthey met
with since. their great drive began on
March 21st, would have a demoralizing ef-
fect upon the arm-y-if it knew, but the ar-
my does not know it is steadily losing.
These things are kept carefully hidden from
them and also, as far as possible, from the
civilians at home. _
In the east as indicated by our despatch-
es of Saturday, all is not well with the Ger-
man cause.- Turkey is evidently squirming
under the German heel, and although no
confirmation has yet been received of the
severance of relations rumored a few days
ago, there is enough to' indicate that the
relations are not very cordial and that
Tilrkey’s assistance in the war will here-
after be more grudgingly given.
There are indications also of an awaken-
ing in Russia. The number of Russians
who are beginning to understand Germany
is steadily increasing and German tenure
in Russia, is not likely to be long lived.
Ukraine, too, is acting rebelliously towards
itsself-appointed master, the Kaiser, and
he is threatening to récall the minister and
replace hi_r_n by an army. These things all
spell doom' ito Germanism and the end, be
it near or afar off, is coming. _ ,
Important developmentsmay be looked
for in the next few days. The situation
both on the western and easetrn fronts is
changing rapidly and anything may hap-
pen at short notice. _

The Italian Higher Command had'-no

mons, iheir admiration and gratitude
for the share our Italian Allies .were
taking in this terrible struggle.
THE POSITION -IN FRANCE _
As regarded the position in France
and the great attack -which began_on
March 21, our Headquarters and those
oi' ou_r Allies knew -that every prepara-
tion wiis being made for suclf"~an at-
tack; b`u-_t both the British and French
Staffs had doubted whether the attack
was coming' at that time. ` V ,
However, the attack came, and' it
achieved an amount of success which
caused the utmost anxiety. Idoui'
months had passed, and though the
baffle was a continuous one we could
look back on what had happened with
some confidence.
In the whole campaign the Germans
had before them three great. strategic
objects, twoof which were territorial.
The flrsf. was to take Paris; the sec-
ond was the Channel ports; and the
third was to divide the Allied Armies
and break the communications bs-
tween the British and French forces.
After four months, though the Al-
lies- had had toygive- fi great deal of
ground, it was still true to say that
not one of those strategic objects had
so far been attained. (Cheei's.) He
believed that il, in the early' days of
the struggle, anyone ‘-had suggested to
llindenburg that after four months
the .position would be-as at present he
would have treated the suggestion
with scorn. ' - 
RESERVES WILL DECIDE
There _was clear and increasing ev-
idence, in the German -Press, that they
were becoming disappointed with the
success which had attended the _Ger-
man Army. ' _
So far, this attack 'had' brought about
two results which would be of far-
reaching and, -he hoped, -ih the end, of:
iilmost decisive, importance.
