nal Of few days ago, what German,
Is struggling for Is a moral victory
| 1t has been generally known tha
the allies, in concert, have planned
great drive against the Teutonc al
Hes on all fronts, as soon as weather
conditions are favorable. For thai
purpose, the British, French. Rus
slams and Italians have been storms
up vast amounts of ammunition and
concentrating all available men al
strategic points.
But II was first necessary that the
ground In Belgium recover from the
spring rains and in northeastern
Russia from tho thaw Also tn,
grand duke must have time to clear
the Turks out Of Persia, effect june
tion with the British at Kut-el.
Amara and move westward until his
armies span the Turkish territory ir
Asia from the Mediterranean TO the
Black sea ana begin actual advance
upon Constanttnople.
With such concerted movement. the
Germans would be compelled to hold
all Of their men for defense at every
possible point OF attack, ana would
be unable to rush them from one part
OF their front to another, thus every
where presenting superior numbers at
vital points. with simultaneous at
tacks by the allies in France and
Flanders by the Russians from the
Baltic sea to the Rumanlan border.
by the Italians by the British and
French in the Balkans and with the
Russian hosts moving on CONSTANT
nople from Asia. all points would be
vital.
The attack upon Verdun was
doubtless launched largely for the
purpose of thwartlng this great Of
fensive Of the allies Possibly il was
hoped TO cause the French to bring
their forces from Salonlka. Certain
ly II was intended to further impress
Rumania and Greece. If it succeed
ed, II would popularzo the German
crown prince who is commanding at
Nerdun where he was badly beaten
more than year ago
The German general staff never
could have dreamed that capture of
Verdun would mean the fan of Paris
or would materially impair the re-
sistance of the French. Not only
back OF Verdun. but back Of the en-
tire French and British lines from
tho North sea to the Swiss border
twenty miles of trenches have bcen
constructed for every mile of front
When q trench mile long is won 10y
the Germans, twenty more such
trenches, each OF them stronger, II
possible, than the one in front of it,
must be stormed before open coun-
try is won
While the Germans have done mar
wells; while they have constantly
sprung new schemes for the over
throw OF their enemies. it is not be-
licved possible that they can over
come such resistance. on the con-
Irary, doubtless it has long been the
hope Of General Joffre that the in

DRIVE ON vERprN CONTINUES.

Germany is continuing her dcsper-

so far made have been slight the
losses have been fearful. but, if the
fortress can be won II is worth the
cost from the German point Of view.
That doesn't mean that the Ger

V|CE-PRES|DENT STURM
ISSUES A STATEMENT
In Behalf of the Automobile
Dealers Association of
the City.

The following statement was Ia
sued Tuesday night by Harry p.
Sturm. vice president OF tho Clarks-
burg Automobile Dealers Assocla-
ton. in behalf OF tho association:
The Clarksburg Automobile Deal
crs' Association appreciates the kind
ly manner In which the general mo-
torlng public has endorsed and APP
proved Its action In the matter of
limiting the time extension on credit
transactions and placing on a cash
basis those customers who have made
such action necessary.
"A very few instances of criticisms
have come to the attention of tho
writer and, In all cases, It has been
traceable to lack Of knowledge rel
alive to the policy now in operation
and the conditions that forced its
adoption. The majority OF complaints,
however. have their basis on the con-
tention that the principle of CLASH
flying the good customer with tho less
desirable Is unjust, whereas, in effect,
the present policy actually does diff
fcrentiate between the two classes OF
customers and leaves the selection OF
classification absolutely up to the dis
erection Of the customer himself. AS
a matter OF explanation the writer
will state that every instance where
he has heard this objection 1t was
made by motorist OF sound respon-
sibility. who has perfect right to
challenge any action that would seek
to question or limit his credit, but,
as the purpose of the policy now in
effect is to accomplish nothing other
than business basis for deserved
credit, as liberal as the dealers obli-
cations to his creditors will permit,
we appeal to the business judgment
and spirit of fair play Of the motor
ing public to assist our efforts to
make our various organizations more
stable and thereby render n higher
character of service than could BIO
possible under the old system"
