4 GENERAL SURVEY. OF
The WAR
MONDAY,

The battle which General Cadorna
Is waging for Monte San Gabrielle Is
continuing. The Austrians are being
subjected to pressure but by means OF
heavy concentrations of fresh troops
they have been able to keep the ltal-
ians from achieving the notable sue
cess which completion of she capture
of the mountain would constitute,
General Petain's troops clinched the
success they won northeast of Yer
dun on Saturday when they pushed
their lines ahead materially in the
Fosse and Caurieres wood sector. The
Germans were obliged to abandon their
furious assaulting tactics of The day,
probably because of the heavy losses
they sustained in attacks which left
the French line mistaken.
The German advance in the Riga
region is definitely halted, according
to indications in the current reports.
Russia again has a critical political
situation to face, however, with Gen.
eral Korniloff deposed from the chief
command because of his demand for
dictatorial powers, and with martial
law declared in Petrograd.

can destroyers, during Teuton U-boat
attack upon fleet of conveyed mer-
chant ships near the coast of France.
Two Of the merchant ships, according
to information reaching the navy de-

Russia seems rapidly to be working
into state of civil war. The internal
situation, which overshadows all til"
current military news, appears to be
going from bad to worse, with the op'

clares his action is due to the desire
to save Russia from government act
ing in the interest Of the German gen
eral staff. q -

The Fourth War Winter

A recent issue of the London
Times publishes letter written by
and intelligent German who but
recently has left the home country,
in which communication the intern
al condition of Ger any is discussed
without apparent bias. The writer
believes that the fourth winter OF
the war will bring an exhaustion to
the resources of the Central Powers
that will mean inevitable collapse.
1t is an exhaustion that pertains to
foods, fighting materials and men.
The writer is not pro- English or
AGAINST Kaiserism. He is simply
i gical and frank. He puts the
main emphasis upon the growing
exhaustion of men fit to fight.
While he does not say it in direct
terms, the plain meaning of his
reasoning is that the Teuton
powers have already lost; that,
though the war may be prolonged
through the coming winter, such
prolungation will only be a post
ponement OF the inevitable. As
the basis of his theory of approach
| ing exhaustion, he mentions the
increasing deficiency of raw mat
erials for the manufacture of mu-
ni;ions; he thinks that there is no
longer a reasonable hope that the
Iindiscliminate submarine war will
blockade the expectation of foods
and war materials to Great Britain
and France; and, thirdly, but most
importantly, he regards the re-
serves that Germany will hereafter
be obliged to draw upon as being a
nonefficient fighting class. =
He mentions that already Ger
many has called to a?tive service
the Landsturm, consisting of men
who are past forty-fve and one
armed men. The boy contingent
that must be called to the service,
he says, is thoroughly tutoEed in
democratic ideals. They are at
heart against the war and against
the system that brought on the
war. He believes that the majority
Of these boys will surrender as soon
as opportunity offers, The mailed
fist system is aware of this disaf-
lection, and, to offset it, is scatter
ing the young recruits through the
veteran regiments.

Leading German Papers
Scandalously Disloyal
TBy Associated Press

Chatham, N. j., September 8 -
Theodore Roosevelt, in a speech
here to, day at the Columbia Coun-
ty fair, urged enactment by Con
gress of legislation which would
prohibit publication of newspaper
printed in the tongue of any nation
with which the United States is at
war,
"We must have one language
the language of the Declaration OF
Independence, of Washington's
farewell address and Lincoln's
great Speech" the former Presi-
dent said. The leading German
papers of this country have been
scandaIously disloyal to the United
States and to humanity.
THE obscene cruelty and brut-
atty of the German armies under
the explicit directian of the Ger
man government, has been of such
unspeakable foulness that it is a
crime against this nation and
against all mankind directly or in
directly, to uphold Germany. and
all who do not heartily back the
United States and the allies of the
United States against Germany are
guilty of this crime, and are disloy-
al to this country.
1--WE are fighting for humanity,
but primarily, we are fighting for
our own country, for safety of
America in the world. We are
fighting on the other side of the
water so that we may not have to
fight on this side of the water.
"Only the overthrow of the
brutal and INSCRIPTIONS Of the
militarism of the Prussianized
Germany of the Hohenzollers will
make this world safe either for the
United States or--for democracy"

MONTEREY. Va, SEPTEMBER II, 1917
The Old Senator's Argument

Patiently the senator sat through
the session. The committee from
his home state laid facts and
figures before him. and their ahlest
orators represented to him the
folly of his attitude in voting for
prohibition. 1t meant, they said,
the ruinnation of business, the up
setting of all political plans, the
disruption of his party and death
to his personal ambitious. Then,
when they were all through, he
arose and said:
What you have brought to my
attention is very cogent and con-
vincing. But there is no use de-
ceiving you, nor of allowing you to
entertain any hope whatever that
l will change my position.
Bear with me, my friends, and
| will tell you why.
II am an old man; | have not
very long to liye, by any rule Of
expectancy. I must answer YOU
as | expect to answer at the ludg-
ment seat of God.
Il had a boy, an only son. He
was the pride and nope of my hte'
and of his mothers. Some OF you
knew him He was a promising
young lawyer.
HE got to drinking. He was
one of those who don't know how
to drink. l suppose he was weak.
THAT boy died drunk. Before
he died he broke bis mothers
heart. She gasped her life away
in my arms.
HE had beautiful wife and
child. In a drunken mania he
killed them both and then shot
himself.
"You see me here alone, a
stricken, lonely old man, Every
hope of Joy and peace | had has
been swept away by alcohol.
i HAY NC ltalIO"' 1heJ w

liberty. I know you can't legislate

a deal of Pharisaism and intolerance
among professional prohibitionists.
| know. They have stabbed me
more than once.
and | know there's a great
deal of money tied up in the liquor
business. And that many liquor
dealers are honest, decent people.
Some of them have been my
stanchest friends and supporters.
"You haven't made point in
the argument that | haven't made
myself, in my time.
"But-condenn me if you will,
retire me to private life when my
term is over if you so desire-but
when l think of this question [ see
my only child with that hole in
his temple, stiff and stark before,
me, and the wife of my youth in
her coffin, and those other two
innocent human creatures done to
death, and | can do but one thing.
II may be narrow old man,
but alcohol has hit me too hard,
and by Godl III hit it every chance
I get.

of Belgium to listen to arguments

me and talk about booze. "-Ex.
