that the political complexion of the ne"

former ideas Of the French tenn
permanent which Gen. Joffre's
calm ability has done SO much to
dissipate. The German general
stan doubtless Is counting on
the possibility of impetuous gen.
eralship leading the French into
trap of their own making. II
was largely this same impetuos-
ity, perhaps dictated by strategic
considerations, that led to the
German Marine disaster. With SO
recent an example before them,
any rash enterprise by the French
at this moment would be inex-
cusable.
That Gen. Joffre realized this
is indicated by the present slow
Ing up OF the allies offensive.
Russia's advance to the San
river suggests that the major
operations In Gaiicia may be suf-
flciently near an end to permit
the main advance on Berlin short
ly TO begin. Once over the San
river In force, Russia will be
past the main Austrian fortified
line. and, II the Petrograd reports
OF stupendous victories in Galicia
are true, Cracow, 100 miles west
of the San, should be reached
without serious opposition. Once
at Cracow, Russia will be in DOS
session OF all Galicia, which the
car covets for annexation to his
own Poland. Then, the Russian
general star can give all its time
to planning the march to Berlin.

The question OF prohibition does not

the question which Is giving more
concern to members OF congress up
for reelection than the trust bills or

feeling In Washington, even among
those who are opposed TO the Hobson

which won't stay down. The present
movement aims to achieve prohibit

BY J. w. r. MASON,
Former European Manager Of the

Ontte0 frcoHD
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-(11 a.
m)-The Germans have checked
their headlong retreat from Paris,
and their line Is holding fast, ex-
cept at the extreme left. Here,
a retirement has taken place to
the frontier fortified line on the
German side Of the Lorraine Dor
der. running south from Metz.
This army, In Lorraine, Is prac-
tically a separate force. Its re-
treat TO the shelter of the perma-
nent German Notifications prob
ably indicates that much OF its
strength has been detached to
reinforce the right wing OF the
crown princes army, and the
center of the entire German line
to the north and northeast OF
Rheims and the Aisne river.
This Is the critical strategic
position of the invaders. Lines
OF communication and retreat
would be gone IL the allies broke
through here. The fact that the
Aisne posts are being held by
the Germans must mean rein
forcements have arrived. The al
lies reported several days ago
they had possession OF the prin-
cipal crossings OF the Aisne.
Nevertheless. they have been un-
able to drive the Germans from
the north of the river. The sug-
gestion advanced In London that
muddy roads and lack Of proper
pontoon bridges account for the
diminished speed Of the allies
pursuit, Is insufficient The real
explanation must be that the Ger
mans have been strengthened and
Gen. Joffre very properly has d.
rected a more cautious advance.
There Is great danger to the
Germans In their present posi-
ton, but II must be remembered
they number probably over a mil
lion men, and serious blunder
resulting from too ardent pur-
suit might easily result In dis
aster to large part of the allied
forces. From the standpoint OF
the allies, therefore, It IL a good
sign that more cautious policy
Is now operating.
An attempt to rival the rapid.
