taken prisoners
Bitter fighting was going on in the
outskirts Of the town at noon.
The announcement. which told OF
the new advance at Beaucourt-Sur-
Ancre. said the storming of Beau
mont-Hamel villages had been com
nletcly successful.
Fragmentary press reports reaching
here today told Of a spread OF the
fighting several miles nOrthward,
which led TO belief that General
Haigs forces have started drive on
Serre. about one mile north of Beau
mont. and scant mile and half
northwest of Aliraumont
While interest centered on this lat

attached to reports from the eastern
front that Russians in force have

Prevented Militarism

President Wilson makes a strong
appeal OF the issue of peace aud war.
True, large expenditures for the army
and navy have been made, and the
army was ordered to the border, but
by so doing he has in a measure, at
least, backfired against the spread of
the war issues in this country, and
has prevented the program of the
militarist for complete preparedness
and universal military service from
being carried out.
He has Won the greatest diplomatic
victory of the age and has establish
ed his position without war and
bloodshed. He has demonstrated
that he may be safely trusted with
the final settlement of the issue.
Preparing for Future
He is making preparations for the
long future, and is formulating a
program looking to International 60
operation and q league of nations.
The new world political organization
means that no nation may hereafter
wilfully disturb the peace Of the
world without first submitting Its
grievances to the deliberate judg
ment of civilized men
