PO|NCARE Goes
TO front ALSO
French President Will See
Soldiers on Field-Makes
Trip in Automobile.

Bordeaux, Oct. 5.-President Poin-
care, accompanied by Premier Rene
Viviani and Minister of War Alex
andre Millerand. left at noon for the
battle front. He will spend a few days
visiting headquarters and personally
congratulating the officers and men.
NJ. Poincare long determined upon
this project but until now has been
prevented from executing It either by
the necessity of presiding at the daily
cabinet conferences. or by the wish Of
the military authorities, who deemed
the moment unfavorable for the trip.
The news of the presidents depar-
ture for the front has given rise to
rumors that the allies have gained a
great victory. the news of which is
withheld and that M. Poincare has
gone to witness the final discomfor-
ture Of the Germans.
The correctness of this deduction is
ohcially denied and it is reported the
situation in the fighting zone is as de-
scribed l.y the afternoon statement Of
the war office. 1t is added that the
presidents solve motive Is to convey
the nations appreciation and encour-
agement to the troops in their long
and difficult struggle to free the soil
Of the invaders.
The president will first visit the
commander-in-chief of the French
army
Interest in every movement of the
allies as revealed in the official an
nouncements of the war office and re-
ports of the enemy's strategy contin-
ues intense. The rushing of REIN
forcements to aid their attacks, seem
to have little effect The battle takes
more and more the form Of siege.
Additional German forces, which are
being sent to the lines Of the Aisne
and Disc. it is noted, are not coming
from Lorraine, Belgium or Germany,
but are being drawn from army OPP
Grating in Champagne province. The
withdrawal of German forces from
the center has caused considerable
surprise in view Of the extraordinary
precautions taken to stop the French
advance in this region, especially as
the center Is regarded as an apt ele-
ment in the German Defense
Lieutenant Colonel Leonce Rouse,
the military writer for La Liberte. is
reviewing the situation says:
1T Is no more wholly against our
extreme left that the Germans are d.
recting their efforts. but 1t Is a little
more to the south. More interesting,
however. is the action taking place in
the region Of Roye. There the Ger
man general STAFF hopes to find the
point Of least resistance and has not
hesitated to strip their center, being
unable to obtain reinforcements from
other sources

THE HARDNESS OF " WATFR


Here is fact which is probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much Of his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This is what We
may call the hardness Of the water
when boat is running at speed.
Water at so miles an hour is not the
iimp1d liquid we are accustomed to
bathe in. Ifsyou put your arm over
poard from hydroplane running at
crest the probability is that YOU viii
break your arm or wrist. because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape.
and striking 1t is like striking so much
metal. 'o"
In the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where stream of water under
enormous head is used to wash down
hlllsides, swordsman, in attempting
TO cut into one Of these streams, will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream
is like bar Of iron. The fact that
water at relative speed Is so hard
or that its inertia is so great, to be a
little more accurate-is the reason
why a skipping stone travels over the
surface, and is the reason why a hy-
droplane boat slides over the surface
instead OF plowing its way through.
the picture we must have in our
mind. then of a speed boat is that it
IS travelling not In water. as We or
dinarily understand it. but over the
surface Of semi-solid, very much as
a sled travels over snow. The hard
ness of water at so miles an hour we
might compare with the hardness Of
cheese-at rest.

Duluth Herald: The war will make
one question concrete that has in the
past been abstract and academic
That 10 the military question whether
1t Is wise to spend money on fortiflca-
tions. .-.
Before the war there were two
schools among militarists. one hold
ing that money spent on border forts
is money we'll spent. and the other
holding that money so spent is vast
ed, and that 1t had much better be
used on soldiers and their equipment
The first test Of this question was
at Liege: and Liege PROMPTLY fell
when the great German siege guns
were brought to bear upon it.
The next test was at Namur. and
Namur. too. was promptly brought
to terms by the siege guns.
And so the school which had op-
posed spending money on forts jub-
ilantly declared I'VE told you SOL"
Whereupon it developed that the
French fortress of verdun has held
out against German attack for many
weeks, and the other school in it's
turn doubtless is declaring 1--WE told
you so!''
From a non -militaristic viewpoint,
especially one buttressed on the fact
that Canada and the United States
have four thousand miles of boundary
utterly unfortifled and that Canada
and the United States never have had
war and never intend to have one,
the question is still academic because
it is submerged in the greater proppo-
sition that armament of any kind is
wicked waste and wanton folly be-
cause 1t is not only costly but breeds
costly wars.
But from the military experts view
the question is still unsettled, and will
be unsettled until he knows all the
facts about Liege. Namur and Verdun.
Now. he does not even know whether
Germany was able to bring up it's
siege guns for the attack on Verdun,
or whether Liege and Namur, II like
Verdun they had been fanked by suf-
ficient armies. might not also have
held out to this day. On the whole.
though. those titanic siege guns leave
us little respect for Notifications.

THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.

The Republican state committee has
done wisely in not starting an elabor-
ate speaking campaign many weeks
before election. The committee has
been at work and has arranged for a
number of meetings. and is keeping in
touch with the situation generally, but
1t has not been disposed to inflict on
the people Of the state noisy and
elaborate campaign when none is
needed.
The chief feature Of interest in the
state campaign is naturally the cleo
ton Of a governor. Governor Hanna,
a Republican, announced his candida
cy for his party's nomination, and
then left the matter wholly in the
hands Of the people Of his party. Un-
der the operation of the primary law
Of the state. every voter had an op-
portunity to express his choice-to
make his own nomination. No good
reason ever existed why Governor
Hanna should not have been nominat-
ed, and the voters. understanding and
appreciating that fact, renominated
him. Having been renominated, Mr..
Hanna should be reelected. as he will
be. without any doubt,
There is no occasion, in this cam.
paign, for any but the most kindly
feeling toward other candidates, and
no occasion for discussing them, un-
less they give occasion for such dis
cussion. The simple fact is that the
administration Of state affairs by
Governor Hanna has been SO success
full, so business-like, and SO in accord
generally with the best interests of the
state. that those who oppose him on
the platform merit commisseration
because Of the dearth Of material
available for them.
What is said Of Governor Hanna
may truthfully be said of the other
state candidates who seek reelection,
and the new men nominated are in all
cases men Of character and ability
who will serve the state we'll in the po-
sitions for which they have been nom
mated.
