The remaining seats in the dental lecture room will be filled by 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.

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.
