Gaston's Report

Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,
assuming the initiative on the Somme
front in France, has, according to the
Berlin war office re-captured from the
British the greater part Of the positions
won from the Germans Oct. Is, between
L'Abbaye and LeBarque, between the
Pozieres- Bapaume road and Guedude-
court and toward Beaucourt.
The Germans also have successfully
withstood British attacks near Courcel-
cite and LIE Sars and on the Pozleres-
Bapaume road. Paris reports only ar
tillery activity on the Somme front, but
London chronicles the repulse. with
heavy casualties, of German attack
in the Thiepval region.
On Russian Front
On the eastern front the Teutonic
forces have stormed Russian positions
on the left bank of the Narayucka riv-
er southeast of Lemberg, and held the
conquered ground against counter-at-
tacks. Fourteen officers and 2O5O men
and IL machine guns were taken here
by Prince Leopold's troops.

following this peace there would be an
alliance between Germany, Russia and
Japan.
Il know from reliable sources" he
said, that Russia is out of joint, is
half bankrupt, is starving and will be
ready for separate peace before
spring. The result is to be an alliance
between Germany, Austria. Russia and
Japan. Japan and Russia are pushing
towards this combination and an over,
pie would welcome it today.
ut is the old Bismarckian tradition
that Germany ought to be the friend
of Russia and that such an alliance
would be mutual protection.
IF we really want to bring peace for
generation there is no hope but to
bring Germany and England to an I'M
Outstanding before Germany and Rus
STA have made peace and formed an al

German people want this peace today
but they ought to want it, for once the
new alliance is formed it will seek to
crush the ambition of England for a
world power.
Some neutral groups in Europe are
working towards bringing about this
understanding between Germany and
England. Yet real success can be ex-
pected only if the government of the
United States undertakes this master

AMBASSADOR
SHARP TALKS OF
WAR
Conflict Prolonged by Trench
Fighting and Use of Aero
planes - Can't Tell About
Trade Relations-French Re-
gard for Americans

Boston, Oct. 2O-The United States
r.mba ssador to France, William G.
Sharp on the eve of returning to his
post in Paris, addressed the Boston
events of the war the ambassador said
the duration of the war was still prob
lena teal.
There are certain features which
prolong the war and may cause it to
continue indefinitely. One is the trench
method of fighting. The machine guns
power to annihilate is one of the most
horrible things which the ingenuity
of man has invented. Another agent
for prolonging war is the aeroplane
and the side without aeroplanes would
have been conquered long ago. Neither
side is apt to be surprised by move
ments of the other for the aeroplane
operators are able to take frequent
photographs of the activities of the en-
envy and if necessary notify their own
forces by wireless of any move.
EThe opposing forces in this great
war seem to be about equally massed-
on UIe WeSleIIl HUH a. iSe''7e S'i~ ~
he able to hold ground about equally.
Trade Relations a Guess
Now about our trade relations after
the war is over; it is anybody's guess.
We can't tell about trade relations be-
cause we don't know how long the war
will last or what the terms of settle
ment will be-but l pray God that the
end may come soon.
The belligerent countries are losing
their best men and physical rehabili-
| tation will of course be necessary aft
er the war. If we do have to engage
| in trade conflict I don't think that
we can prepare for it, but will have
to meet emergencies as they come.
The ambassador stated that the peo-
pie of Paris have faith that the Ger
mans will never again, during the
present war get near enough to injure
them"
~ think their faith is well founded"
he added.
1t is not unneutral for me to say
that no American can dwell in France
today without having an increased re-
card for the French people and that on
their side. the French have high re-
gard for Americans"

shots across the border at San Jose, said
that late reports reaching him indicated
the American troops were fired upon "by
drunken Mexicans.. The dispatch made
no mention of firing by the American

incident. believing that an irresponsible
band had Numbered upon the detachment
of Americans and had withdrawn after
firing a few desultory shots. There was
nothing in Gen. Funston's dispatch it
was said. to indicate a prolonged engage
ment.
