undertaken at once by the enemy on
our positions, was repulsed with the

character as that waged upon our soil
by our implacable adversary. Pillage,

That power has no authority in law.
In the sanctuary of your soul you owe

sive while the foe has been act
ing on the defensive. The fact
that the enemy is acting on the
defensive does not mean that he
has given up attacking altogether, but
his attacks have been in the nature of
counter attacks undertaken either in
order to regain ground previously lost
or to relieve pressure on some other
part Of the German line.
Marked Progress Made.
'It is only by balancing the total re-
suits of these attacks by both sides that
a clear idea can be obtained. Really
marked progress has been achieved by
the allies.
The German defensive is an active
one. it is founded on the axiom Of war
more hardly it is pressed the more per-
sistently should it attack But it re-
mains true that such action is none the
less essentially defensive even though
here and there one Of their counter at
tacks may succeed in regaining pos

a small section Of our front.
Germans Must Lose Confidence.
eff we retain the initiative it will
mean that the German soldier gradual
ly will become increasingly conscious
that he is no longer marching on Ca
lais or Paris; that instead OF pressing
forward his role is merely to maintain
what already has been won, and that
even this limited object has not been
attained"

Is said to stipulate that no treaty rights

The German position. az outlined In

the treaty contemplates. The United
States contends that any American
ship, even If laden with contraband, ~
protected from destruction by article

The new American note - understood
to reject this view.
