War fills so much Of the horizon
while Il is going forward that there
Is always q temptation to set down
as permanent things which are trans
itory and dependent upon the condi-
tions and emotions growing out of
conflict. This is particularly true Of
the hatreds that grow out Of strife:
il Is only less true of alliances. and
there Is sound reason for refraining
from attaching too much Importance
to alliances which are made during
the war.
And yet, having said this, il re-
mains true that no more surprising.
no more interesting and certainly no
more hopeful sign can be found IN
the whole history Of the preset con-
flict than the slow, steady, but ever

and Britain, conditioned unOn a grow
ing understanding between two peo-
pies who over centuries have either
misunderstood each other or too well
understood the less attractive sides
Of their neighbor.
Now more than all else the prog
ress Of the war has taught Britain
the true France-the France that all
ways existed Nothing is more pre-
posterous than the notion that the
France Of today Is different from the
France Of yesterday. But what mill
lions OF Englishmen have seen is the
true France that escapes the mere
traveller and for the mass Of the peo-
pie OF England as Of America France
was just a geographical expression

the United from the sx-Power Group agreement

loan because OF "the obligations # imposed upon the

convenience, this Anglo-French alli-
ance, and it is steadily taking on a
better ad more enduring character
The British soldier was the first to
know the real France. He became at
one time missionary at home and a
true representative In France. Against
the common enemy-and the enemy
OF the things that France and Britain
loved and served in common-the al
lance took definite form
Il is a fact of more than passing
Importance that the two great dem
ocratic nations of Europe, nations
with widely different ideals Of democ-
racy, but with a wide area of COM
mon ground. should thus be united by
bonds which will endure beyond the
war and influence human history for
long years to come. In this alliance
there exists real and a sufficient
counterpoise to that German peril
which has threatened all democracy
ours as well as European.
AS we enter the third year OF the
Great War there are grounds for con-
idence and for hope that did not ex-
list one year ago. could not be dream
ed Of two years ago. Already the
worst dangers are passed. 1t is no
longer a question of how much of all
we love and hold to Germany can de-
stroy-the German horde is no long
er on the advance. The problem re-
mains to rescue from the hold of the
beast that which he seized in his first
mad foray. It is no longer a question
Of saving France; what remains is
the task Of rescuing Belgium. Of re-
storing Serbia; above all. of having
done with the German effort to de-
stroy all else in this world to the
greater glory of Teutonic Kultur.
And the weight Of this task in West
ern Europe must fall upon the Brit
ish The French share has been
more than performed. Still, in pro-
portion to her resources France is go
ing forward; but a willing Britain
must bear the brunt of the battle
which will establish the victory al
ready half won and insure the safety
of our civilization and our democracy
II is easy to perceive that with the
performance of this task. with the
making Of this sacrifice. final basis
OF regard and respect will be reached
between the two great liberal powers
and the alliance between France and
Britain will be cemented by the blood
of their sons in a common cause.
There is no greater fact in the op-
ening days Of the third year of the
conflict than this Anglo-French rela-
ton. now firmly established beyond
even the reach Of German intrigue
It is alike the assurance Of comins
victory and the guarantee Of the en-
durance Of the things which many o.
us care most for in life.

rec 'nize that appreciation Of British
purpose. British loyalty, above all,
British good faith, has increased with
every succeeding month Of the war.
No one can mistake the fact that to-
day, when Britain is at last begin
ming TO lift q portion Of the terrible
burden Of the war off French soldiers,
there is a final and a Just appraisal
Of Britain from the Pyrenees to the
German firing line.
In nothing has German intrigue
been less successful than in the eff
fort TO foment trouble between the
two Allies. The attack upon Verdun
was beyond all else an attempt to
convince France that Britain was not
ready to help her and never would
be. that France must surrender or
die.
French military authorities meas
ured this threat and they appraised
French spirit accurately. There is
nothing in the whole war finer than
the French and British course in the
Verdun crisis. Actually the British
were still unready. but Sir Douglas
Haig promptly offered to begin. Joffre
declined to let him. He chose to have
France carry on" terrible as was
the cost. until the British were ready,
Always, too, in the later months of
the war the British have frankly and
without question conformed to the
will of the French military commgu-
ders. Britain has sent hundreds OF
thousand of men to France and in
effect turned them over to the orders
OF Joffre. His will has prevailed.
Even in the matter Of Salonica Kitch-
ener bowed to Joffre and British
troops followed the French to the
Balkans.
After all. the amazing thing about
the Anglo-French alliance is not that
it has not already worked perfectly,
but that it has worked at all, that it
has worked with ever increasing ef-
ficiency, and that out of the fusion
of these people, so different in their
race history, and in their traditions,
there has grown a mutual confidence
and respect which it is not too much
to say. will remain a potent influence
in European history for many dec
AIDES at least.
The growth of Anglo-French conf
dence has quite baffled the German.
From the outset his higher policy has
been directed at estranging two enc
mics that he might destroy them sep
arately. Today he still warns French
men that the British mean to hold
Calais permanently, and in the same
breath he whispers to the British that
they have only to sacrifice France
and the peace that they desire is
within their grasp.
And to such appeals Frenchmen
and Britons remain equally deaf II

At the beginning Of the war it was
generally believed that France had
a store OF munitions sufficient to last
for several months. NJ. L. Levy-Bruhl
of the French Ministry Of NUM-
tioms, however, says thNt near the
end of August 1914. after scarcely
more than three weeks of hostilities,
the supply began TO run short Meet
ing the demands since then OF the
armies in the trenches, furnishing the
great store that made possible the de-
fence of Verdun and the present Of
fensive on the Somme, make this feat
of industrial mobilization as great an
achievement as the mobilization Of
the French army and navy.
When the War Ministry discovered.
two years ago. that the amount OF
munitions that it had supposed was
ample for war time was woefully in
sufficient It was confronted with the
task of constructing artillery and
manufacturing ian Unforeseen and
enormous quantity" of shells, explo-
sives, rifles. machine guns and aero
planes" At that time civilian trans
port had deceased. mobilization had
deprived factories of their best work

as to the kinds Of munitions. The ad-
vantage of this system was that it
saved the State at moment Of most
urgent necessity from treating direct
" with each manufacturer. The fac
tory owners never hesitated in do'ne
their part. Many, mot content with
devoting the factories which thel
possessed to the making of war ma
terials, built and installed others"
The question of labor was in meas
ure solved by recalling from the col
ors large number OF skilled work
men. Women were also employed
and recourse was had to foreign and
colonial labor
Through the German conquest in
the northern and eastern part of the
republic France lost a valuable source
OF raw material. NJ f. Schroeder
president of the German Iron Manu-
facturers. who made an investigation
of the part of France which the Ger
man armies occupied, reported that
the French industry was deprived Of
20 per cent of French coal and IS
per cent. Of French iron. This de-
ficiency had to be made up from the
mines OF the west and south Of
France and from importation from
England. Spain and Algeria,
Despite all these industrial handi-
caps NJ. Levy-Bruhl in tables pub

to be sacrificed for the of A. Polk OF George
town, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for

this effect; When the Sussex county Democratic
Gus meets Lynch will be declared to be the caucus
choice for United Senator and Polk for Represen-
tatve in Congress Those nominations will be sub
mted to the Democratic state Convention with fore
knowledge that Sussex will not be allowed both the
