There never was a time in the history Of
this country when a broad and unbiased out
look upon the progress Of events Of national and
International Importance was more essential than
at present. The world war IS not only remak-
ing the maps Of the old world, but has an IN
auence upon the political, commercial and
economic conditions IN this country that is
fraught with grave importance to all patriotic
citizens The attempt on the part Of some of
our representatives In Congress to hamper the
President in the policy he has adopted for the
preservation Of our national honor and all the
same time our impartial neutrality is most la
mentable indeed. And it is with marked
qualification that those who adhere to his stand
ard rejoice in the Aattering vote Of confidence
he received when resolutions tending to hamper
his policy were overwhelmingly tabled by the
peoples representatives in Congress. Mr..
S muel Untermyer, one of the most prominent
lawyers in New York, asserts that historians
will regard the exalted and just course pursued
BY MIR. Wilson. as one IF the brightest pages Of
the countrys diplomatic history
We sincerely trust that every man who loves
his country will do all in his power to uphold
the President in this great crisis that daily
grows more difficult, and that he will be able
to guide US in the same able manner which his
administration has characterized amid the shoals
Of war to haven of honorable peace.

No sooner had we traversed Ornes.

to Moncourt than our artillery
opened on the advancing Germans.
I've seen some bloody fighting in
this war. but they were only sham
battles compared with this conflict.
Shell after shell ripped gaps in the
German lines. As our seventy-fives
famed death against the oncOming,
close packed battalions 20 lines
deep, the corpses were piled up in
mounds. We were so near them
that fragments OF bloody flesh from
human bodies torn asunder by ex-
ploding smells fell amongst US.
There was a rain OF human flesh and
the blood ran in rivers That night
we spent in MoncOurt under the
CHASTITY radiance of star shells
which the Germans fired continu-
ously.
Under the lurid flow of the
bombs. the bloody battlefield was
shown up with its carnage L saw
long lines of German dead where
machine gun volleys or shells had
torn through the ranks. In some
places the bodies were piled so thick
that corpses stood upright, lodged
against their fellows
"All the while the guns in the
Verdun forts kept up a continuous
bombardment against the German
positions. So terrific was the can
nonade that the blood poured from
our ears and noses from the con-
cussion.

The following detailed review Of

is printed re today:
The German infantry began their
attack on Monday. Feb. p. The
first symptom Of the battle favorable
10 the French was the inability of
the Germans 10 silence the French
artillery. The offensive opened with
strong accommodating parties ad-

Master Military Stroke.
The French command at this
point carried out maneuver which
will be recorded as a masterpiece in
military history. The German
movements had been under the
cover of woods in ravihes and patti
emily prepared communicating
trenches. If the French had tried
to keep in touch with the enemy they
would have been more or less in the
dark and the operation of their own
artillery greatly hampered.
If the Germans had been only
10 yards away the French could
have been submerged by the attack
providing the attacking forces were
prepared 10 make any sacrifices. but
the distance being 1900 yards there
was little chance against the oppos-
ing artillery The French troops
were accordingly swung back to po-
Sitions from which they could see
the Germans approaching over ex-
posed ground
The effect was that the immedi-
ate front Of the attack which was
