that the original French lines now
virtually outflanked the advancing
Germans along the Oise river.
The fall of Bapaume in the early
hours of Monday was a blow to the
British, but it was the result of a de-
termination to fall back slowly all
along the line that is being attacked.
Berlin Claims 45,000 Prisoners
Where the German wedge is still
moving, its progress is not alarmingly
rapid as it was in the first rush of the
Teutonic hordes. The yielding line
it is asserted has absorbed the impetus
of the shock and has weathered the
storm remarkably well. Berlin claims
that 45,000 prisoners have been taken.
These were probably units which were
left to hold the easier defended points,
while the main portion of Field Marsh--
all Haig's army fell back. The Brit-
ish losses have been heavy, but it
has been officially announced, con-
sidering the magnitude of the strug-
gle, they are not undue. On the other
hand, the Germans have suffered ter-
hibly, even Berlin admitting the Teu-
tonic casualties before Peronne "were
comparatively heavy."

GERMANS WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO BREAK LINES, SAYS WOOD
Washington, March 25.-Allied mil~I
itary experts are unanimous in their'
confidence that the German offensive
will fail, and that the enemy will not
be able to break through the lines,
Major General Wood, who has just re-$
turned from the European battle front,
today told the senate military com-
mittee and many 'other senators who
listened in an executive session -to a ]
statement from the general.
Praising the condition and work of
General Pershing's expeditionary
force, General Wood recommended
that an American army of 2,000,000
men be maintained abroad as soon as
possible and that another 2,000,000

CAMP CUSTER NURSES RECEIVE
LESSONS IN ART OF BOXING
Battle Creek, Mich., March 25.-All
of the nurses who are serving in the
base hospital at Camp Custer canton-
ment are to receive boxing lessons.
The nurses, nearly 100 of them, who
expect soon to go to France, asked
that they be taught in the art of self-
defense. Stories of German atrocit-
ies inflicted upon Red Cross nurses
and other women and girls, made the
Camp Custer nurses determined to
learn to fight.
Charlie White, division boxing in-
structor, has been ordered to organ-
ize boxing classes for these women.
So far as known, Custer is the first
cantonment in the United States to
take such action.
"Who knows when we will have to
use our fists to protect ourselves,"
said one of the nurses. "A weapon of
defense can be made as powerful in
the hands of a woman, as in the hands
of a man-particularly when the wo-
man is fighting for her life, or even
more."
