for the particular kind of products

cal supplies. etc.-in which America
specializes. The field Is lost to Ger
many. Russia herself cannot hope at
once to develop the resources and tech
nical skill necessary to supply these
necessities. France and England can
help but they have not the same quail
f1cations as America, which is espe-
cially adapted to supplying the Russian
market.
I'VE are, therefore. awaiting with
great interest the proposals of the
United States. Until these are made
our attitude cannot be more than one
Of friendly receptivity. Meanwhile,
however. there is no reason why
American exports to Russia should not
be increased without waiting for the
treaty to crystallize. 1t will come
eventually, we hope. but it is not now
essential as a basis for trading. With
out the formal signing of a treaty. we
are willing to offer every reasonable
inducement and encouragement to
American merchants. The American
exports to this country could be in
creased tenfold. If the magnitude Of

LONDON. November 20.-The follow

| communicated by an eyewitness pres
ent with general headquarters, con-
tinues and supplements the narrative
published November II of the move
ments of the British force and the
French armies in immediate touch with
it:
November 16-The nature of the
situation on our front has not altered
since the last letter. The Germans
have continued to press generally along
our line and have focused their atten-
ton mostly around Ypres, although
there has up to now not been a re-
sumption of the violent attacks against
that place.
Friday. the 18th, was windy, with
much rain. Trying as life in the
trenches Is under such conditions. our
men have at least the consolation of
knowing that the enemy were in a
worse plight, for the wind blew stead
lily in their faces.
"On our left, the morning passed in
desultory shelling, which gradually
swelled in the afternoon into q fierce
bonn bardment of the section of our line
running south to the Menin-Ypres road.
This was the prelude to an attack
along the whole line. Around Ypres the
enemy rushed our trenches at one
point, but they were driven out again
and the assault was repulsed. Here
again our losses, though heavy, were
much less than those of the Germans.

The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly to the general administrative
duties of the system, but has brought
up many new and interesting pro-
blems which have called for the
careful personal consideration of
Postmaster General Burleson and
Governor Dockery, Third Assistant
Postmaster General. But their task
has been lightened somewhat by
the promptness of depository banks
in furnishing additional security to
meet the abnormal deposits.
A number of the very largest
banks in the country, which have
declined to qualify as
for postal-savings funds
are now among the eager applicants
for them.
