to ask ourselves what force we can pos

attacks Of the United States against our

naval forces Of the United States, which
are distributed over two oceans and over

late yesterday afternoon. by vote OF
20 to IS. passed the administration bill
providing that the Federal government
shall assume all risks that may come to
American commerce on the high seas as
result Of the war among the nations
Of Europe. The discussion was notable
by reason OF the fact that nearly all the
speakers proclaimed their fealty to peace
while denouncing one another in I'M
measured terms.
The lie was passed by Representative
Underwood. the Democratic leader, and
Representative Mann. the Republican
leader. and these old-time friends abused
one another In language that aroused

The French right wing is engaged with

In the department OF the Vosges. For
two days the conflict has been raging
there, and many of the French gunners
have dropped exhausted by the side OF
their cannon.

Though the war office states that the

this is only the calm before the decisive
conflict that will be brought on by the
direct smash OF the Germans upon the
lines that stretch from the Somme to the

It evidently is the German aim TO
strike Paris from the north after wearing
away the allies left wing and throwing
the center into confusion. 1t is in this
direction that the Germans are making
their great efforts and though fighting
continues in the Fest, the real battle will
