...only glad, but also very proud of every man in the regiment for the way in which they carried out the exercise today," said Lieutenant Morize after the maneuvers yesterday afternoon, when the corps was reviewed at Fresh Pond by the Board of Overseers. "Every movement was on time, and it was most satisfying to see the results of your year's work. It shows that while things seemed slow and uninteresting during the winter you all were learning wonderfully well the idea of the battle formations, and you are now doing excellently as a result. It is a good...
...month with an Intensity hitherto unequalled, the German offensive has finally come to a stop. Whether it has been a great enemy victory or a triumph of Allied resistance is a relative question which time alone can determine. In point of territory conquered it has been the most significant movement of the latter years of the war. An Allied gain of equal importance would have been heralded as a great victory.

If this is the heralded offensive, we welcome it as an opportunity to inflict great losses upon the enemy and to bring about a new alignment in the West which may well permit successes for us in the near future. If it is but a feint, we will continue to be watchful for the time when the German lines may feel the irresistible force...
