Considerable comment has been in
dulged in over the interview which
Robert Bacon, ex-ambassador to
France, is credited with having given
out before his recent departure for
England. He was quoted as express
ing the opinion that Americans were
no longer willing to remain silent re-
garding the aspects of the European
war which vitality concern this nation
He said in part: There are many
mon who consider that this nation is
sinking it's duty by maintaining a
policy which may be interpreted as
giving tacit assent to acts involving
US morally and much more intimately
than has yet been expressed. These
men believe We have a high RESPONSE
bility in upholding the treaties which
were signed at the second conference
at the Hague in 1907 and ratified by
the United States and the nations now
at war" Mr.. Bacon ended his inter-
view by asserting that in violating
Belgum's neutrality German delib-
erately broke treaty she had enter
ed into with the United States as we'll
as the powers with which she is now
at war.

PARIS, Nov. 6.-Continuing their

q point north Of Arras and sever the
main line Of communication supplying
the French, British and Belgian forces
in the northern sphere Of action. &C

The object Of the massing of Ger

first step In this last effort Of the in
vaders to penetrate to the coast. II
they are able to break through tho
allies line northwest of Arras, the
Germans will not only have attained
the coast, but they will have cut off
the supply line of the French, British

The main railway line over which
troops, provisions and munitions have
been shipped into the northern zone
of hostilities, lies through Amiens,
about Seville, Noyelle, Etapes. Bou-

past were freely indulged in, the chief
one being that too much reliance had
been placed in the old method of try
ing to educate the voters by two
months campaign before election.
A committee was authorized and
appointed to draw up a plan for re-
organizing the party in Indiana in
such way that the work of educating
the citizens of the state as to their
real need of adopting the Progressive
principles shall be carried on in an
efficient manner all the time between
elections.
To Educate People. .~-.--.-..--
1t is probable that the members of
the party, over 100000 strong in
Indiana, will re-organize into county
locals with the members thereof pay
ing monthly dues. 1t was estimated
at yesterdays meeting that dues of
only fifteen cents a month from each
member would provide a sum suffic-
lent to finance state bureau that
viii keep Progressive lecturers con-
stantly in the field, permit the pub

planning the principles of the party
and replying to the misrepresentation
Of the press of the state that is con-
trolled by either of the two old parties,
as we'll as giving funds to meet the
additional expenses at election times.
This committee was ordered to get
to work at once and bring in its report
and recommendations imm mediately so
that the new and more effective
method Of educating the voters along
Progressive lines might be put into
effect at once.
