Having in mind doubtless the militiarism
of Prussianized Germany, John S. Hamil-
ton of Wilmington, Del, writes in part to
the Baltimore Sun as follows:
Militarism, repeat, is the arch enemy
of the human race. 1t is at war with every
optimistic conception. 1t weaves its en-
tanglements around everything that is
really good, making the approaches diff
cult and for the timeimpossible. 1t throws
its hellish fortresses and entertainments
across every highway which leads to prog
ress. Mlitarism does not appeal to any
sane conception of what is the sensible
plan of the Creator. The partisans and
advocates of militarism always appeal to
US as the most dangerous lunatics. We
never saw real sane argument in favor OF
militarism, and we are convinced that we
never will see one. Militarism is insanity
pure and simple, and its place is a mad
house,

London, Dec. %, 10:41 p. m.-Heavy
fighting is taking place on both Eastern
and Western fronts, but is not producing
any material change in the positions of the
opposing armies. In France and Belgium,
the Allies offensive is being pressed and
while some ground has been gained at
widely separated points other attacks have
been repulsed by the Germans from their
strongly intrenched positions. In the
Northern area, the artillery and warships
yesterday took up the battle, giving the
infantry rest, but lower down the line
and further on the Disc to the Muese, fierce
conflicts took place in many districts.
While the progress of the Allies is ex-
tremely slow, it is the belief of military
experts here and in France that the gains,
which the general staff is able to report OF
disturbing the German system of fortifica-
tons at vital points and will, if successfully
carried out, compel a retreat.
In the East most of the Germans north
of the Vistula have retired across the East
Prussian frontier before the onrush OF the
Russian forces, but south of that river be-
tween the Bzura and the Pilica, the Ger
mans continue their advance, and an
nounce to- night that in fierce battle they
have succeeded in crossing branches OF the
Bzura and Rawka rivers at many places.
This should bring the main armies very
close together, and few days will tell
whether the German advance is to be def
nitely checked or whether the Germans
are again to threaten Warsaw.
