ENEMY LOSES INITIATIVE
Fighting Fiercest and Longest Along
Canal from Bethune Eastward

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
A Place in France (name deleted by
censor), Oct. 22.-we just go grimly on.
This is the best description I can give
of the new battle which has lasted al
ready for ten days.
When it will end is less certain than
how it will end.
We are making progress, but It is slow
and costly, for neither the power nor
the viii Of our adversaries has been
broken and much Of the country being
fought over is easy to defend.
Enemy Loses Initiative.
The most hopeful sign is that the enemy
has lost his initiative, except for local
attacks on our inner lines by which he
constantly strives to recover his freedom

Since their retreat from the Marne the
Germans have not been their own mas

for its flank certainly is in danger. But
Gen Won Kluck, who commands the
threatened wing, is a soldier as well as a
strategist, who evidently shares Field
Marshal Won Der Gotz's opinion that
menace to his lines of communication
may be disregarded and ought to be met
by a forward movement which will force
the enemy to abandon the threat.
FIercest Fighting at Center.
The success of the French soldiers
must be measured by the developments
on the west and north and by the des-
perate efforts the enemy has made, and
is still making, to pierce the center of
the allies new battle line. For it is at
the center, along the canal from Bethune
eastward byOnd La Bassee, that the fight
ing has been the longest and the fiercest
This country for some miles is marshy,
and two or three days, rain has made 1t
difficult for the troops to move. Beyond
the marshes to the north and east are
rolling plains, dotted with woods which
give good positions and command a wide
field of fire.
Here the enemy is intrenched along
its entire front To turn them out of
this position is a difficult task. Artillery
is useless, although the guns and the
howitzers on both sides have pounded
away night and day, while the infantry
attacks and counterattacks resulted only
in heavy casualty lists.

Senator Smith, leader of the cotton in

the bill was laid on the desk by the

ignored the clamorous demands OF his
