Next to General Sir Douglas Haig,
few British soldiers are in better
position to judge than General SIR
Henry Rawlinson, General haig's
right-hand man in the Somme offensive.
Rawlinson is to Haig what sherman
was to Grant and Jackson to Lee.

sons reply to the question the whole
world is asking. "All that is necessary

victory must come as the result OF

point. The first step is to force the
enemy 70 defence; then superior she'll
fire, superior man power and relentless
pressure in attack must so depreciate
his organization and morale that one
day he will break.
"The Allies, in close sympathy and
cooperation, will keep on pressing
simultaneously on all fronts until at
some point the enemy gives way. II is
difficult to say what the result of a
freak in the line might be, but it will
seriously weaken his whole system OF
defence.

The French losses were very light, it
is believed, even lighter than any re-

near Islam Tepe attacked a Rumanlan

the commander of a Russian battalion

Our 4th Infantry Division, after stub

Use Charge with Italians
But the mere detail OF failing to find
evidence to support charge did not
worry Democratic leaders in other
quarters. The National Italian Demo
cratic League is making use OF the
hyphennte issue in still more pictu-
rescue form.
"A vote for Hughes is vote for the
Kaiser" is the slogan used in series
of pamphlets and cards which, pub
lished in Italian, are being circulated
from the National Italian Democratic
League, with headquarters at 203 Town
send Street. More than 100000 pieces
of literature already have been sent
out bearing this slogan. Since the

rope opposing German troops, this ar
rument. even though backed up by no
evidence. is expected to win many votes
for the President.

.U-DOATS BRING
CRISIS IN NORWAY
Germany Charged with
Establishing Blockade of
Norwegian Coast

London, Oct. 26.-Seventeen more
ships were reported sunk by German
submarines to-day. OF these ten were
Norwegian vessels, four Swedish, one
Danish and two British. The largest
victim was the British steamer Fran
field. Of $50 tons.
With the report from Christiania
that ten more Norwegian vessels had
been torpedoed by submarines. came
sensational rumors that the relations
between Norway and Germany over the
submarine issue had reached crisis.
U-boats, which have sunk twenty
Norwegian ships in the last three days
were declared to have established a
regular blockade Of the Norwegian
coast and to be waging a persistent
war on shipping of that country.
The reply to Germany's protest
against Norway's stand with regard to
the activities Of submarines in Nor
werian waters was still under discus
sion. the advices said. It was stated
the Christiana government organ de-
clared it might be assumed that the
German protest was SO couched as not
TO bear the character of an ultimatum.
Il was learned to-day five members
Of the crew of the Norwegian steamer
Snestad, the sinking of which was re-
ported last night, were Americans,
shipped in Portland, Me-, when the
vessel left that port for Rotterdam on
September with wheat for the Bel
eian Relief Commission. The crew was
saved
Christiania reports say one boat with
six men from the Norwegian steamer
Ravn, reported sunk in the Arctic on
October 2, was saved. The rest of the
crew were rescued after thirteen hours
al sea.
