The Progress of the
Great War, East and West
lion the Now York Tribune

Progress in both the theatres of
war is following the line of least re-
sistance. In the west the German
forces have cleared a way for them
selves through Belgium and have
established a hold on northeastern
France They are now reported as
occupying Lille, RoubaiX and Valen-
ciennes, and in that quarter are only
a little more than 100 miles distant
from Paris.
That the route through Belgium
was the most desirable one for the
invaders is shown by the results Of
the first three weeks OF campaigning.
The Germans have gone clear across
from Liege to Lille without single
serious check They had to fight a
sharp battle at Charleroi, but the
allied forces made only a temporary
stand there, the failure Of General
Joffre's offensive movements further
south compelling them to retire
across the French border. From
Liege through Brussels to Lille the
German advance has covered 100
miles. Along the rest Of the line
/ from Luxembourg south the German
advance has been hardly more than
ten miles on the average. North
eastern France was the vulnerable
spot in the French line of defence,
ard the German army has struck at
that spot with remarkable energy
and celebrity.
We said week ago that the
strategy of the first stage Of the war
had resolved itself into a contest of
skill in the distribution of forces. So
far the Germans have won every
where in that contest. In getting
more men to the critical spot at the
critical time they have Outgeneralled
! the allies. It seems pretty well
established by the failure of the
French offensive in southern Belgium
Lorraine and Alsace that the German
/ lines to the south we're not stripped
in order to throw a crushing force
/ into central Belgium There were
| German masses all along the frontier
| except opposite Belfort, in southern
! Alsace. It is reasonable to infer
/ therefore that the German armies
have so far outnumbered those of the
/ allies and that the French were mls-
| led If they were assuming the often
/ sivo in Alsace and Lorraine on the
/ theory that they were dealing with an
enemy no stronger than themselves.
Germany is following a daring plan
Of attack on France, and has probably
summoned more than one Austrian
army corps for service in the west
The Austrian General staff is prac-
tically subordinate to the Genera
staff in Berlin, and it Is good polio,
for Austria-Hungary to look to de-
cisive victories on French soil as {
condition precedent to the defence o
her own borders against Russia. Th'
Servian invasion has been abandoned
and Austria Hungarian troops have
just been withdrawn from the Sanjal

THE IMPENDING STATE CONVENTION.

THE one important fact that dwars all other facts
i in the political situation in Delaware is that
the Republican State Convention will nominate
winning ticket when it meets in Dover on next We'd
nesday
That ticket viii be composed Of good men. What
is even more important those will stand for po-
ltca principles and practices that will make an ir-
resistibe appeal the sound sober of the peo-
pie of our State.
Delaware IS ripe for a change. The people are
eager for an opportunity to send TO the national House
OF Representatives Republican who will assist in the
work Of repairing the damage that has been done to
American prosperity by Representative Franklin
Brockson and his Democratic colleagues Il is not in
the nature OF things for Delawareans to re-elect
man who shown. by his official acts such a reck-
less disregard of the public interests
Much has been said relative to the probable per-
sonnel of the Republican State ticket There has been
a disposition in certain quarters to criticize certain
men who have laudable ambition to have places upon
that ticket That fact should not be disturbing to
anyone The state Convention delegates will go TO
Dover determined do their best the interests
OF the public and the party. After they have done that
they need have hesitancy in leaving their work TO
be passed upon by the Delaware electorate which will
be much discriminating and sensible in 1914 than
It was in 1912.

Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

the present primaries depends upon
the spirit with which the Democratic
voters enter them. If the voters
show the intelligence and sub-ordina-
tion of personal interest, which we
hope will prevail, there can be no
question but what a satisfactory tick
ct can be nominated. If. however,
prejudice and passion are allowed to
prevail and a ticket is nominated
which will not be satisfactory TO the
voters the result can be nothing other
than DemocIatic disaster and it is
we'll TO bear in mind that if the De-
mocratic party loses in the coming
fight it will probably be several years
before we will achieve another vic
tory. The best men in every case
should be nominated and nothing
should enter into the primaries ex-
cept the honest desire to nominate
strong ticket. We hope that every
Democratic voter will attend the
primaries and register his sentiment
as the primaries is the place where
differences should be settled.

The August Martyr of the War
CFrom the independently.

Italian seminaries. He made stricter
rules for marriage as a divine sacra-
mcnt. He established at Rome. a
special school of Bible study to meet
critical excesses; and he forbade
priests to have financial control of
social organizations.
We are obliged also to record that
his aim to re-establish all things in
Christ seemed to him to forbid any
yielding TO the scientific or critical
spirit of the age as to cCctrinal mat
ters once settled perhaps centuries
ago. He was a follower of Plus TX,
not of Leo XIII. He fought Modern
ism with all his power. to the serious
loss of the Church and the driving
out of many of its loyal scholars,
while many others were content TO
bow their heads till the storm be
overpast. From the eloquent Arch
bishop of ST. Paul we have heard of
late years no such bold urgency that
the Church should move in the van
of modern progress as he uttered in
his sermon at the one hundredth an
niversary of the episcopate at Bal
timOre. The late Pope required the

called delation, which drove out pro-

the Biblical Commission made pro

amazed and amused biblical scholars
All this was done, and more, by one

of intentions.

gun to exert itself restlessly in the
direction of devising expedients
which have nothing TO commend
them. Representative Henry of
Texas has taken advantage of the
disturbed situation and the necessity
of resOrting to indispensable emei.
Rency measures and has resurrected
his bill i'm Congress for unlimited is
sues Of what was called corn tassel
money" during last years delibera-
tions on the Federal reserve bill. He
wants the Government to emit paper
in boundiess volume on the products
of the field and farm. the idea being
of course the old Populist notion Of
the nature of money, something
which the Government prints and
calls a dollar.
There is not much to choose be-
tween the delusion to which Repre-
sentative Henry wants the country to
subscribe and the movement that has
suddenly sprung up in the South to
have the cotton crop valOrized. South
ern cotton planters are bombardlng
Washington with demands that the
Government lend up to ten, eleven
or twelve cents a pound on cotton
so as to prevent the fall in price
threatened by the wars curtailment
Of Europes large consumption of the
staple.
Apart from the inherent financial
viciousness of the project, there is
no more reason why the Government
should be called upon to hold up the
price Of cotton than that it should be
called upon to sustain the price level
of anything. Invoking Government
aid for the planter is not the right
way to deal with the situation. The
banks will be able to relieve his
distress by loans to any extent justi-
fed by trade prospects.
Besides. there is no resemblance
between expedients employed to pro-
vide for the sustained movement OF

The making Of Belgium the battle
