Mantanuska field, to be mined at the
direction of the president for v

navy, for national protection and for
relief from oppressive conditions.

acres and in any one tract, at a
royalty of from 2 cents 10 5 cents a
ton and 20 cents an acre for the first

EIGHTH WEEK OF WAR
GREAT BATTLE OF THE AIsNE
ENDURED FOR IA DAYS AND
END is NOT YET.
FRENCHAND B%RITISHADvANCE
Trying Hard to outfIank the
AIlies-Have Little to Gain From
Victory, but Everything to
Lose From Defeat.

h battle of the Marine lasted sever
days and ended in the rapid retreat o
the Germans. The battle Of the Aisn,
has endured for ID days and the EN-
is not yet, but the French and British
have daily pushed the strong and stub
born Germans further back. The frs
offensive of the allies was a pitched
battle in the open, but their second as
sault has virtually been war through
siege, an investment Of a German
series of Sebastopols on a hundred
fold larger scale, and their swift sue.
cess has been replaced with slow and
painful gains, as vas inevitable from
the conditions of the case.
That the French and British have
advanced steadily in virtually every
quarter has become clear In the fort
nights perspective.
The strategy and purpose of this bat
tie have become clear. 1t is the OBJ
Ject of each army to outflank the
other, simultaneously assaulting the
center and preventing reinforcement
OF the menaced flank; to reach the
rear of the outflanked force; finally
TO surround and crush it, cutting it's
communications and connections. or to
drive 1T back a broken mob upon the
center of it's own army. The Germans
essayed to do this on the French right
along the Mouse and to pierce the
French center at Rheims, but failed in
both efforts. The French attempted
the same movement against the Ger
man right at the Disc and the Aisne
and against the German center north
OF Rheims, and have almost succeeded
In both movements. They have wedged
themselves we'll into the German CEN
ter east of Rheims, between Rheims
and Laon, and have pushed the Ger
man right wing far northward and
somewhat northeastward. The battle
develops in the way that on the Marine
compelled German retreat. The Ger
man right is in iminent danger and
defeat, when the whole German front
has already become wavy, not to say
Wavering, would compel the entire
army either to stand permanently on
defensive at the Belgian frontier
or to withdraw altogether from
France. The French and British army,
should it lose, can fall back again
on Paris.
The Germans have little to gain
from victory, for at best they can re-
the offensive only at every dis
advantage, having their tremendous
to do all over again; but they
lave everything to lose from defeat
drawn battle. With the allies the
consequences would be the reverse.
