teen minutes of infantry fighting
proved sufficient for the French army
to capture the strong position of Sail
~ Sallsel from the Germans, and to
give the entente allies command Of
five miles Of the Bapaume road.
The allies air mastery deprived
the Germans Of their eyes, conse-

an effort to prevent rcinforcements

The fire from the British and French
guns had continued for a long time.
The infantry officers hal synchronizcd

deliver the attack exactly at Has

the artillery which had been batter

Meanwhile, hundreds of German

Elihu Was Emotional.

WITH tears streaming down his
cheeks and in a voice that shook with
emotion, Senator Elihu Root stood
before the guests at the annual ban
quot Of the American Society Of In

night and declared his loyalty to the
president in everything ne might do
In this countrys complications with
Mexico.
Senator Root did not know then
that a plan Of mediation was under
way through the good offices Of Ar
gentina, chill and Brazil Apparently
he had not the slightest inkling that
mediation was about to intervene be
tween this country and dread war
though at the moment he was speak
ing a score OF newspaper men were
vainly trying to reach him TO ask him
If he was in favor Of or opposed to
mediation
The senator's first knowledge of
the move was when the secretary of
state arose and, after a few prelimi-
nary remarks, made public the inter
change Of notes between the depart
ment Of state and the South American
