PLAN
TO BURN ALLIES
OUT WITH OIL

PARIS. Nov. 2i.--A German plan
10 attempt burning the allies out OF
their trenches In northwestern Bel
GUM was suspected here today.
They had provided themselves
with large numbers Of huge barges
and vast quantities Of crude oil.
The belief was that they intended
10 I'll the barges with oil and launch
them on the flooded area between
Dixmude and the coast
The barges, burning TO the
waters edge. would let the oil run
out. and. as the oil would flow. the
whole region would be converted
into n great sea OF fire.
Fight With Artillery
Tho fighting In the north today
was mostly with artillery.
Weather conditions continued
frightful. and the use OF infantry
on an important scale was impos.
sible.
The British. who have been at.
tempting to cut the Germans com.
munication lines north OF Arras
were increasingly active In that 10
caiity today.

ALLIES WILL
FIND KAISER
HARD TOL|CK
BY VIM. Philip Sims

PARIS, Oct. 3o.--(By Mail to
New York.)--oermany will
have 10 bleed TO death slowly
drop by drop.
She fights SO we'll defensive
iy that there is no telling how
long she can keep II up.
Competent. impartial mill
tary observers here are coming
more and more TO the belief
that the kaiser Is prepared to
hold out indefinitely, falling
back by inches rather than by
miles.
The secret lies In the won
cerful German system Of
trenches.
German officers have studied
every recent war profoundly. No
war has been too small for their
notice. They have found things in
all OF them 10 put TO practical use.
French Use Old Stuff.
Since 1870 the French army has
made use OF the three usual means
of concealing infantry-sitting.
kneeling and standing room in the
trenches.
The individual soldier advancing
a few yards at a time under fire.
makes use OF a shallow. individual
trench. which he digs for himself.
throwing the dirt in front and plac-
ing his knapsack on top of II.
The German plan Is different.
The German trenches are made as
invisible as possible and In series.
There Is an advanced trench two
feet wide by five deep. The exca-
waited earth is sprinkled about. so
that at a distance OF 300 yards, It
is impossible TO tell that there is
a trench there.
Trenches Connected
Back Of this trench and connect.
ed by zig-Zag runways Is a second
one, also two feet wide by five
deep.
The runways permit the Germans
TO fall back without exposing them
selves. These two lines OF trenches
are 100 yards apart
Back OF them is a third line. in
which are the machine guns. under
turrets.
II is usually covered with green
logs. placed crosswise. On the
logs earth and bushes are heaped,
to conceal the trench.
But the Germans don't stop even
here.
AS soon as this series OF trenches
Is completed. even though they are
under fire at the time, a second Sc
ries, far more elaborate than the
first, is being constructed.
Sklifully Protected
This second series is skilfully
and intricately protected, not only
against infantry attack but from
exploding shells as well, so as to
be almost equal to permanent outer
defenses OF a fortified place.

have profited by viewing the Ger

Are you Profitina hx LIP

After seven months of our foreign
trade under the new tariff law. the fig
ures available show that since the be-
ginning of last October to the end of
last month exports decreased $113, 012,-
555, in comparison with the cores
ponding period in the previous year.
At the same time imports increased
1923, $685. 493. AS a result the trade bal
anee for the seven months ended in
April was less favorable by s136,63S,
04s than for the same months in the
previous year.
Last month alone the alteration in
the relation of imports and exports
compared with the April figures year
ago converted an export balance of
S5S,s90,94S to an import balance of $780,
271,S72, total change of So, 1872 721,
adverse to the United States.
The new tariff is operating as pow

imports increased $27, SOC. This gain
was followed in April by an expansion
of $26, 446. 263, an increase of $53, 7S2. 1863

being with the corresponding months

More of the "Ere Long,"

Secretary of Commerce Redfield in
a speech at Raleigh, N. c., Thursday,
before the chamber of commerce, dis
cussed business conditions throughout
the country. In part, he said:
If we would place the business atmos-
mercial weather map such as is used by
the Weather Service we should IND a
curious condition. In the extreme south
east and southwest would be areas where
the business barometer is high. All
through the great central part OF the
country, where the bulk of our wheat Is
grown, would be another great area OF
fair weather and high pressure. over
would be no depression, not even unset
tied conditions, but normal booking Tor
great agricultural favors expected !, TO ,
come. High barometer also prevails
where automobiles are made IN ana
about the Lake area. over the norm
eastern states would be found a sectlon
If the state of mind of the dlnerent
parts of our country could be shaded IN
colors, the great body of the West Wouio
be white. while an area OF LEU eu,i ststes
one does not mean to derlde de
pressed state of mind in speaking oI -
as a psychological condition. Inc pssip ,,
ple that feel that way feel just as paaiy
about ii as II the condition were physl-
cal rather than psychological; The hope
lies in the fact that the realltles OF .ne
Iihvsical condition may so assert theL I1
selves ere long that the mental state WIN
adjust itself to them and be renewed.
The Democratic party has been
promising physical conditions that
would relieve state of mind, ever
since the campaign in which they
were elected. And the most eneour-
aging state of mind after year ana a
half of "watchful waiting" is based
on the belief that physical conditions
will improve about the time Democ-
racy is washed out Of power on the
top wave of public impotence. Ere
long" so frequently used by Little
Redwing," is altogether too long.
Mental states are pretty sure TO
have foundation in fact. The mere
assertion that black is white does not
transpose the popular psychology.
