terize the operations which began on
Sunday to the west of the Mouse, is
spending itself against the stout and
intelligent defense of the French.
The observers point out that when
the assailant realizes that he has
failed to attain his objective he in
variably delivers an extended assault
with great violence before lapsing
into normal trench warfare. Such was
the great German attack during the
battle of Ypres on November 10, five
days before the battle ended, and the
French battle in the Champagne on
March IS, 1915, also closed with a
violent assault. In these operations
the assailants hoped to surprise the
defender by an unexpected effort and
to wrest from him by taking him I'M

commander at Verdun, was not caught

ceases to play an important part in
the selection of American diplomats
and the army and navy. declared
Henry White, former ambassador to
France, in an address at todays ses-
sion of the convention of the Navy
League of the United States. He was
speaking on 1.-The Baneful Influences
of Politics upon Our Foreign Rela-
tons"
IF there is one conviction more
deeply rooted in my mind than any
other" said Mr.. White. 'it is that the
respect in which a nation is held by
others is in exact ratio to the fleets
and armies which are believed to be
looming in the distance and reported
to back up if necessary its diplomatic
representations. Foreign powers know
that political considerations or the
length of purse strings usually out
weigh any known fitness in the selec-
ton of chiefs of our foreign embassies
and legations. They know that our
army and our navy are for the first OF
these reasons not in the highest state
of efficiency and that what is known
as preparedness has become a do
nestle political issue.

bulwark of a countrys national Sc
