ALMOST CONTINUOUS


In the Argonne region, where the
battle has been almost continuous for
weeks past. the Germans have made n
little progress, as an Offset TO which.
however. the French declare they Nave
continued their advance in upper AL
SAGE.
On the whole the situation seems
Virtually to have reached n position of
stalemate. Neither side has made
great impression on its antagonists
line, and both being very strongly in
trenched. 1t is considered unlikely that
either the Germans or allies will at
tempt another general offensive until
superiority in numbers is attained by
reinforcements.
Much the same situation prevails in
Northern Poland, where the Germans
are reported to have failed TO cross
the Bzura and Rawka Rivers. and to
have been unsuccessful in advancing
along teh Pilica River. They are said
to be digging themselves in. prcpara-
tory to remaining until the hardening
OF the ground by the frost makes
troop movements less difficult
The growth OF the British army is
shown by an army order issued to-
night constituting six armies OF three
corps each. Thus several generals who
commanded army corps ut the begin
ming of the war, now find themselves
at the head of armies.

the United States and England. France

would avoid any unjust policy. Sew
cral newspapers say that President
Wilson's own reference to the sharp
practices employed by some American
shippers appear to justify the precaG-
tionary measures which have been
taken.
Germany, the newspapers declare
has inauguratcd new methods OF war
fare, which are criticized severely.
Because OF these measures. IT is as
serted, 1t has been necessary for the
allies to defend themselves vigorously,
and. all measures adopted have been
dictated by necessity.
The general opinion is that there
will be little difficulty in making sat
isfactory explanation to the American
government along those lines

serious cause for comrlain1. 1t was
inevitable that a nation not ut war

ties CT one that is. especially when
the interests of belligerent and neutral

The Nation says each party owes n

II serious attempt has been made to
