the Aisne. 1t might imperil Lille so seriously
as to necessitate retirement here, too.
Such an advance would be the maximum
of present possibilities. But the possible local
gain is not inconsiderable. Immediately in
front of the British and French lines, when
the present advance began was the i'm
portant city of Lens, which is the greatest
coal town in France. 1t is also the chief
railroad centre for the Germans on their front
from Lille to Noyon. To capture it would be
to compel the Germans to draw back toward
Douai. Its investment would transform la
Bassee into an extremely dangerous salient,
would be a threat to Lille and would give
France her lost coal mines, valuable gain.
1t would also restore to France one of the
main trunk lines from Paris to the north.
The fall of Lens, II 1t is to fall, will make
the La Bassee position perilous, and the con-
sequences of the British advance may we'll
be a general German retirement upon Lille
and Douai.
In Champagne
Turning to Champagne, the purpose of the
French drive here is quite plain. The bat
tlefeld is a wild, open, rolling country with
low hills, few villages and no obstacles, the
scene of the defeat of Attila and the victory
OF Valmy. Here the French attacked with
25O,OOO last spring and were held. after
small advance and a loss of 75,0O0 according
to the German claims. But II the present ad-
vance could be pushed five miles, from
Perthes, BeauseJour and Souain to Somme-Py,
the French would gain the Bazancourt- -Chal-
lerange railroad, upon which all the Germans
from the eastern forts of Rheims to the Ar
gonne depend for munitioning.
Such an advance would probably compel
the Germans holding the forts north and
east of Rheims to retire, because 1t would
threaten their rear and left flank II would
quite as seriously threaten the right flank
of the Crown Princes army, which has been
attempting to crowd through the forest to
the railroad from Rheims to Verdun and iso-
late the latter fortress. 1t would have to go
back, and this would relieve all pressure upon
Verdun. Both Rheims and Verdun would
thus be permanently relieved from German
menace.
A push OF another five miles would carry
the French TO the Vouziers-Le Chatelet rail-
road, which parallels the Challerange- -Bazan-
court line. If they could cut this the Ger
mans would have to retire behind the Aisne,
from Craonne to Rethel, and the whole threat
TO the French barrier fortresses from tho
north would be abolished. On the other hand,
such retreat would expose the fank OF the
Germans holding the Champagne hills from
Craonne to Laon and might compel general
retirement.

THE ENEMIES 1T HAS MADE

TNHE keeper of the brothel does not want
i women TO vote. The gambler who lives
on the wages that ought to be carried to
the home on Saturday night is against
womans suffrage. The political boss who
capitalizes heelers and knows no patriotism,
except that which puts public funds into
his pocket, is sure that the place of woman
is in the home. The exploiter of child labor
and of woman labor, the louts who hang
around corners and wait for election day to
get money for their votes and free beer for
their stomachs, parasites of every sort and
condition. all are unanimous in opposition
to the ballot for women. Let gooo men look
at these antagonists of the Cause and love
1t for the enemies 1t has made.

A MIGHTY BLOW

ASIDE from its direct objective, there
n are three main purposes to be achieved
by the initiation Of vigorous and mighty
offensive on the part Of the Allies in the
West:
l. The relief Of pressure in the East at
time when the Cars forces Just
about to turn and present fighting
front.
2. The prevention OF Balkan campaign
for the relief Of Constantinople to which
an army Of 5000 men had been dedi-
Gated by the Central Powers.
g. The rehabilitation OF the credit Of Eng
land and her allies by n demonstration
in force OF their ability more than TO
hold their own the main battle front.
Two Of these objectives are in the way Of
being achieved. It Is reported, appsr-
entity automatically, that the withdrawal Of
troops from Poland has begun. They are
being rushed only German efficiency can
rush them, to Flanders. This means weak
ening of the Poland armies at the very
time when their full strength is required to
beat back the turning Bear, with what result
no man can prophesy, for Russian arms and
Russian strategy are forever a battling mys-
terry. Russia is most dangerous when ap-
parently most thoroughly beaten. The Kaiser
himself is reported to be on his way to the
West.
The market yesterday showed plainly
enough the meaning of this success of the
Allies. War stocks advanced. That augurs
the successful floating of the loan. The
promise of a victor to pay is very different
from the promise of a loser and the events
in the West since Friday have caused opti-
mism, too much optimism, perhaps, to ooze
from every sympathizer with the Allies. No
great victory has been won, but the possi-
bility of it has been emphasized and the in
vincibility Of the German machine has been
receiving a fearful blow.
Bulgarias hesitancy, when she had already
put one foot into the fire, is significant.
Yesterday two Bulgarian armies were report
ed to be moving, one to invade Macedonia
and the other to protect the Servian frontier.
They are likely to stop before an irretriev-
able step has been taken. For the ruling
classes to pick a winner is one thing, bu'
to throw their lot in with a loser is an
