14' Square Miles of Territory Taken
Along With 60,000
Prisoners
By Perry Arnold
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, May 24.-Something like
145 square miles of French territory
regained, more than 60,000 prisoners
taken, from 75,000 to 250,000 killed,
and stoppage of all plans for a Ger-
man western front offensive have been
the results achieved to date in the
great Franco-British offensive.
The figures are purely estimates.
Neither the allies or Germany have
yet issued casualty lists for this fight--
ing. The front is so irregular that it
is difficult to figure out actual acreage
wrested from the invader. But the de-
feat of Hindenburg's plans for the
summer's fighting have been achieved
beyond all doubt.
The strategy of the famous Hinden-
burg retreat was to force the British
and French to make their much-ad-
vertised spring offensive over ground
chosen by the German commander
and against positions defensively pre-
pared in advance.
Hindenburg Strategy Fals
Hindenburg selected the last few
days of winterrasethe time in which
to make his retreat, figuring it was
too early for the spring offensive to
begin, and that the spring thaws
would come at a time when movement
of pursuing troops would be most dif-
ficult. However, in order to hamper
pursuit, he laid waste to every inch
of ground. At least three supplement-
ary defense lines to the Hindenburg
line were spread over this ground re-
leased to the French and British. The
Germans figured these lines would
check all advances and permit with-
drawal with a minimum of German
losses to the Hindenburg line. Once
intrenched along the Hindenburg line,
the Germans planned a spring of-
fensive of their own on some other
front, confident -in the impregnability
of this long-prepared line against any
Franco-British offensives.
Allied Pursuit Too Fast
But the French and British pursuit
was far more speedy than the Ger-
mans had counted upon. Not only did
the allies quickly swarm over the first
preliminary German defense lines, but
they speeded up and started their
spring offensive several weeks ahead
of time. Moreover, instead of direct-
ing the attacks at the pivots to the
north and south on which Hinden-
burg had swung his retreat, the Brit-
ish turned the northern point on this
Hindenburg line by capture of Fres-
noy, Gavrelle and Oppy. To the south,
the French crumbled it away around
Cerny and Craonne. It is around these
northern and southern points that the
fighting is of fiercest intensity today.
Line Broken at Several Points
The Hindenburg line is supposed to
start somewhere about Drocourt, which
lies midway between Lens and Douai.
A so-called "switch-line" presumably
long prepared, connects Drocourt with
the old German line around Lens.
From Drocourt the Hindenburg line
swings through Bois Bernard to Fres-
noy, then south to Oppy, through
Gavrelle, Roeux, Pelves, Boiry-Notre
Dame, Remy, Hendecourt, Riencourt,
and to Queant.
This section of the Hindenburg line
has been dubbed the "Wotan line" by
the Germans after the Norse supreme
god. The Wotan line is protected by
the so-called Oppy line-a preliminary
defense front between Oppy, Gavrelle
and Roeux. It has been penetrated
at these three points by the British.
From Queant, the Hindenburg line
runs through Beaumetz, Villers Heudi-
court, Roisel, Vermand, St. Quentin,
LaFere, Laon, Sissonne, Craonne,
across the Aisne and down to a point
north of Rheims. This section, from
Queant south, has been called the
"Siegfried line" by the Germans--after
the Wagnerian hero. It has been
penetrated at Craonne and near
Rheims by 'the French.

Exceptional literary material has
been secured for the May number of
the Inlander, te last issue of the cur-
rent year, which will go on sale next

previously announced.
"The Tie That Bound," by Helen G.
Davis, '17, is a well written story with
a great deal of local color. An essay,1
called "Space and Time," by a con-
tributor writing under the pseudonym
of "Mary Langhorne," deals in a hu-'
morous fashion with the adaptability,'
or rather, the lack of it, of certain
types of people. Some of the shafts
are directed toward people supposed
to be at the University.
Two articles on "The University
Next Year," an article on "The War
Class of '61," and a story entitled "St.
Martin's," by Lucile Harrison Quarry,
'18, are also included in the issue.

Washington, May 24.-An immediate
jump in volunteer enlistments in the
United States marine corps is expected
by officials of the corps as a result of
the sending of a regiment of "Soldiers
of the Sea" to France with the first
expedition and the assurance that fur-
ther contingents will be sent as rap-
idly as transportation can be pro-
cured.
Many young men who had previ-
ously not wanted to enlist with a
probability of being kept in this-coun-
try an indefinite time and perhaps
never getting to the firing line will,
it is believed, now enter their coun-
try's service as "Soldiers and Sailors,
too."
The marine corps expects to reach
its full war strength of 30,000 men by
the Fourth of July.
