from unquestionable authority in

stacles of the present struggle are

During the last six moaths,' says
this authority, from the North sea
TO the Swiss mountains there has
been yeritable siege warfare along
the length of the broken line of
trenches. In this warfare all strate.
gic maneuyers are absent, because
maneuvers are impossible on ground
where every square meter is marked
and swept by artillery fire. The only
alternative is a frontal attack. Such
an attack is smashed to pieces in one
part or another against the formidable
organizations of defense in which all
the resources of art and science have
been employed by the two adversar-
les
Such offensive movements could
not be multiplied nor prolonged in

moral and physical effort which they
demand of the men as on account OF
the losses which they inN olive. Meth

SINISTER SYMPTOMS.

There is room for a great deal of
 bought concerning the condition of
 atriotism in Great Britain as indi'
 ated by Lloyd-George in his recent
 beech to the House of Commons.
 he chancellor of the exchequer points ut that there are three roles Eng and may pay in the present war. She may maintain command of the Eeas, she may keep up an army on ] continental scale, she may finance he war. The first and third of these says his country stands 'eady to do and is doing, but the maintenance of an army will be car lied on only within limits. Great Britain does not intend to let her males go to the continent to be kill ,d by the Germans. Let the French and the Russians bear the sacrifice n lives.
 Hitherto this has not been the sen iment of the members of the British government in their public utteran- ,es. Nothing of the sort has come rom the war minister, Lord Kitchen 1T, who constantly has been urging he men of the nation to enlist and las been making every endeavor to get troops to the continent.-Detroi Free Press.

Continued from page 1.) of the government here are greatly worried as a result of the report from Liverpool to the effect that the Amer ican ship Nebraskan has been tor pedoed.

 Bryan Is Silent.

Bryan as to what effect the tor pedoing of the American ship Nebras- kan would have on the diplomatic diff ferences between the United States and Germany, the secretary remained silent and refused to see the report CTS.

PROBE RISE IN WHEAT

PROBE RISE IN WHEAT
The Board Of Trade, juggler of
prices, is to be hit by an investigation
of the federal grand jury. The jury
will begin it's probe next Monday.
Dist Atty Clyne yesterday began
an investigation Of the report that the
big bakers were scheming to send up
the price of bread. This work was
placed in charge of Asst Dist Atty
Albert L. Hopkins,
'My belief is that the present prices
of grains on the Board of Trade are
not justified by conditions" said Mr..
Hopkins. Especially is true of
wheat. There is altogether too much
hysteria intermingled with the trad
ing. Prices are badly inflated. Why
the, mere rumor that Russia would be
able to export wheat sent the quota
ton of this grain down nearly 6 cents
today"
Meanwhile the millers and the OPP
orators on the Board of Trade are &C
cusing each other of being respOn-
sible.
