GERMAN ATTACK
ON S0NIlIE FAILS
French Repel Attempt to
Retake ChauIneS Wood
Positions

London. Oct 22.-Attempts By the
Germans to recapture part OF the posi-
tons lost to tho British and French
yesterday failed definitely this after
noon, when q German rush on Chauines
wood was repulsed. An earlier charge
had left $50 men prisoners in the hands
of the French. These attacks. centring
on the sector north Of Chaulnes, where
both sides gained ground yesterday,
proved very costly to the Germans, ac-
ccrding to the Allied reports.
Berlin admits the loss Of positions IN
the Thiepval region in yesterdays pow
erful British attack. and claims the
seizure Of trenches between Biaches
and Ia Maisonnette. lost TO the French
last week.
General Haig's success on the ridge
east of Thiepval yesterday was one OF
the finest enterprises the British have
conducted in fortnight. Besides
Strengthening his line in this region, he
captured nearly a thousand prisoners
and came out Of the operation with his
own forces almost unScathed.

atrical, but the contrary!
Lincoln Opposed Interference
The story set me musing. won
dered whether the tradition OF your
Civil War is the same living. present,
powerful influence among yourselves
az IL is on this side Of the Atlantic.
To most Americans il sometimes seems
to belong 10 a remoter past, because
most Americans assume, perhaps with
happy reason, that peace-in the sense
OF exemption from great wars that raw
age the entrails OF ID country-ls the
normal, assured possession OF the
United States.
To US, on the contrary, Swallowed
more and more imminently for so many
years by the contingency Of that war OF
wars which has come at last, your civil
conflict has been regarded as an ex-
ample for which we might have use
any dsy-as a practical srmory, In
short, of military suggestion, of politi-
cal and diplomatic precedent.
Lincoln had no use for Intervention.
He knew that the salvation Of America
and OF the Union could only be Sc
cured by force OF arms-by fnsl decI-
sion on the stricken field. Had the
North and South broken up into sepa-
rate republics, renewed wars, not nor
nal peace, would have been the domi-
mating condition OF American life.
Circumstances may change next
year. We cannot tell. At present the
temper Of Lincoln and Grant is that
of the Allies, and we are full OF the
lessons of your Civil War. Also
George Washington's tenacity is as
much part Of our being as Pitts. In
all this we think we represent the
soundest fibre Of our common stock.
Broke Former Despots
Only endless staying power and
obstinacy in the former main crises
of world politics broke the successive
schemes Of Philip II. Of Louis XIV,
Of Napoleon, for an all-domlnatlng
monarchy. 1t is as essential now that
the German plan in the same direc-
tion-a plan much more formidable at
the outset than anything before it
shall be smashed hopelessly, utterly
and for ever.
Germans know that they cannot win
this war, but IL is certain that the
majority of Germans are by no means
thoroughly cured of the inward
thought Of making another var in
more favorable circumstances. We
want peace perpetual, II it may be, but
at least peace guaranteed for many
and many a long day.
That cannot be until the pretensions
Of German militarism arc brought to
signal disaster in the field. Otherwise
the Germans will not change their in

ALLIED AVIAT0RS
BAG II TEUT0NS
Both French and British
Bombard German Rail
road Centres
BY ARTHUR 8. DRAPER
TBv Cabls "a Tbe Tribune

London, Oct. %. -- The clearing
weather has enabled both French and
British aviators to resume activity on
the West front, and to-day's reports
tell OF their success in enterprise
varying from individual combats to
wholesale attack on German rsilway
centres behind the Kaiser's lines.
The French made the railroad centre
attacks with fleets of aeroplanes, drop
ping bombs on st. Quentin, Tergnier
Ham and Athies. Bombs also were
dropped on aviation sheds east of
Peronns.
General Hsig reports that yester-
days capture Of the Regina trench was
helped materially by the work OF his
airmen in finding enemy batteries. The
British fiers destroyed FIVE German
planes, drove four others down dam
aged and lost three aviators.
An official announcement from Paris
says:
"On the Somme front our aviators
yesterday brought down three German
aeroplanes. Five others were forced
to land in damaged condition.
During these fights Adjutant
Dorme brought down his fifteenth en-
envy machine, at Barleux, and Sergeant
Flachaire his fifth machine. which was
dashed to pieces on the ground in the
Somme district.
North of Verdun q German captive
balloon, which was attacked by one of
our pilots, fell in flames.
During the night of October 81
six of our aeroplanes bombarded the
railroad station at Courcelles, east of
Metz. They dropped $50 bombs of l20
millimetres on buildings and tracks,
apparently causing much damage.
"0n the same night our squadrons
dropped bombs on the railway stations
at st. Quentin and Tergnier. sixteen
bombs on bivouacks In the district of
Attain and 1875 heavy bombs on the
stations at Ham and Athies and the
aviation sheds in the region Of Pc
rome.
"A German aeroplane was brought
down within our lines yesterday by
the fire of our special guns"

human lives. He succeeded in gaming

South OF the Somme a counter attack
gained for us possession Of a number
Of trenches between Biaches and La
Maisonette which we recently lost, We
CAPTURED from the French there three
officers, 172 men and five machine guns.

Official Statements
on Fighting in West

Paris (vio London, Oct. 22)-The
West front bulletin issued by the
Wcr Office tonight reads:
South of the Somme the Germans
after a violent bombardment delivered
& fresh attack toward / o'clock in the
afternoon against the southern por-
tion of Chaulnes wood, which we oc-
cupy. The enemy was repulsed every
where with serious losses. He left in
our hands a number Of prisoners, who
have not yet been counted.
According to late reports, this morn b.
ing's attack in the same region was
very costly for the Germans. The en-
envy units who gained foothold in our
first lines were completely surrounded.
One hundred and fifty German sur
vivors were taken prisoner.
Everywhere else there was an inter
mittent cannonade.
The afternoon statement said:
North of the Somme the night was
calm. except for some skirmishes be-
tween patrols, which resulted in our
taking some prisoners. There were
no infantry actions.
South of the Somme the enemy did
not renew his attempts in the region
OF bldCneS anu DlAlsb NOOu. ~
confirmed that the German losses in
their counter attacks in this sector
yesterday were considerable, especially
before the village of Biaches, which
the Germans attacked with powerful
electives.
In the region of Chaulnes the enemy
attacked our new positions violently at
daybreak and endeavored to eject US
from the woods captured by US yester-
day His efforts were futile and cost
him heavy losses. Our gains of yes
terday were maintained wholly.
Berlin. Oct. 2e Coy wireless to Say
aille, N. Y.).-The Var Office report
today on the fighting in the West
said:
Army group OF Prince Rupprecht-
The Somme battle continues with vlo-
lence. Yesterday was again character
lied by the heaviest artillery iigntlng,
especially north Of the river. Drum fire
on the trenches and the ground 10 the

we're launched from the Ancre as far as

When tire same kind Of weather
continued to-day staff officers who ar
range these affairs said:
This Is moving day for the Ger
mans in Regina trench" -,
The Regina is long trench or
nearly three miles-about the same
length as the battlefront at Gettys-

Shortly after noon, when there had
been the usual amount OF shell fre Gil

landscape that anything unusual was
going 70 happen, No. ! curtain hre

Regina trench with the customary &C
curacy of these swathes OF death and
tempest, ard then the British infantry
were in full possession OF the trench
Take 500 German Prisoners
Some Germans bolted from the first
ugly breath of that barrage, knowing
from experience that the only thing 10
do was TO move on TO another position
and force the gunners to prepare an
other deluge for the next step Of the
Allied offensive. Six hundred left alive
were taken prisoner.
The gunners are smiling at the stars
tonight, which promise another falr
day tomorrow.
The cold weather has transformed
the army into a winter chrysalls. The
battalions are marching up the trenches,
all wearing their overcoats. The call Is
for more chocolate and moro slices of
bacon frizzling in pans in the dugouts.
The gunners, who were stripped for
their war work in August, now warm
their hands on the heated gun barrels.
At night on the field where fires are
permitted the men gather around the
blaze Of any wood they can gather.

deal, she is to be renewed and

Would Be Barren Victory
Otherwise France would be OK
hausted in body and spirit by the cost
of a barren victory. II would be
"Finis Galli@" and Bernhardi's pro-
gramme would be fulfilled. Is Amer
lean opinion coming to close quarters
with this problem Of Alsace-LorraiLe ?
That is the first letter of the alphabet
in connection with any peace pro-
posals.
Again, the Italians demand the incor-
poration once for all Of their unre-
deemed territories and populations.
The Serbs and Rumanians fight pas
sionately for the racial union which
has been their dream Of ages.
Is the United States 10 HELM directly
or indirectly in maintaining he ar
tifcial system Of the Hapsburg empire
at the expense Of nationality and
equality? Nay, does the United States
desire TO keep the Turk in Europe or
not; or to bar Russian access through
the Straits 70 warm water? 1t would
be as Just 20 say that the mouths oil
the Mississippi should be in the hands
of Mexico.
These are only some Of the tremen'
dous issues involved in a European
settlement. There are other questions
as big and difficult An American say
in these burning Old World questions
would involve a later say OF the OLD
World powers in American questions.
Neutrality is one thing. ln.erven-
ton or mediation inevitably affecting
such problems as have named is
another thing altogether. The time for
any mediation is not now. This is not
70 say that the time will never come,
but there can be no basis even for the
most cautious approaches to negoti-
alton while single German invader
still stands on Belgian or French soil.
There is, of course, totally different
problem from that of intervention
After the present belligerents have
come to settlement between them
selves an issue of enormous importance
for mankind would be whether the
United States were prepared TO become
one of the responsible guarantors OF a
new system for preserving the worlds
peace.
This would mean joint discussion OF
American as we'll as Of European, ASH
attic and African questions and inter
ests. That is one OF the very biggest
propositions that could concern
America How Europe regards 1t
shall hope to discuss later.

many German submarines are operat-
