MOST VITAL WEEK
OF THE-ENTIRE WAR

London, Nov. 26.-The most vital
week of the war began today. On the
outcome OF events in the next seven
days may depend whether the allies
shall triumph before the spring Of
1919 or the war drag further along.
This week marks the first really
practical determined effort at general
ratification, coordination and inten-
yification of allied war making to cope
with Germany's advantages of geo
graphical location and super central
lzed control.
The new interallied conference will
haugurate this effort. President Will
sons wise counsel. expressed through
his delegates-Colonel e. M. House
and General Tasker H. Bliss--is re-
garded by officials as likely to be of
the utmost value in the preliminary
work toward linking the allies into
one vast war machine.
AMERICAS GREAT INFLUENCE.
The American mission has had a
far reaching effect on allied plans.
Both British and French officials have
been profoundly impressed with the
energy, the far sightedness. the COM
plete unselfishness of Americas part
In the war as evidenced by these COM
missfoners. Their work has served to
emphasize to a remarkable degree the
weighty part the United States is
henceforth to play not only in the ac-
tual warning but in the councils of the
allied powers. The voice of America
both in the inter allied conference and
In the Paris supreme war council
meeting, will be powerful one.
The initial meetings of the allied
representatives will be for discussion
OF military matters. First of all. there
will be critical. merciless examina-
tion of the weak spots in the allied
war machine. There will be the most
minute search for waste. Unneces-
sary and wasteful effort, overlapping
and interference are to be eliminated
PLANS FOR FUTURE.
Secondly. come plans for the future
conduct of the war on the basis of a
single front. The ideal sought IL a
6elicately balanced piece of machinery,
capable Of the most rapid execution
Of all co-ordinated plans which may
be dictated by changing conditions.
Later, as part of '.the war measures
Of the allies, will come Americas po-
tent urging of war aims.

United States Not Discour-

today. This. however. has not dis
Outraged the United States govern
ment in It's desire to have such q
showdown. though the Paris interval
NED conference may not deal with the
subject directly.
Publication of Russian state docu-
ments. showing that secret diplomacy
proceeds. gave impetus to American
hopes for a frank statement. These
documents revealed that Russia was
TO have her say in the peace council as
to alignment OF the eastern frontier
and France was to be arbiter on the
western front.
ADJUSTMENT OF TERRITORY.
The American position IL that no
one nation should have the right to
dictate with respect to boundary lines
on the long front The United States
holds that the war should continue
safe, that Hohenzollernism cannot run
rampant over the world at will. While
adjustment of territory is a vital point
In giving freedom and safety to the
world, thfs government. feels that there
should be no undue territorial grab
bling, no serving of selfish ambitions.
All the powers should agree on how far
the struggle should continue to serve
he single aim of world democracy.
The Russian secret treaties thus far
have reached here only in paraphrased
press reports. 1t is anticipated, how
ever, that the Nauen Germany wire
less will see to II that the full texts
are spread broadcast and this govern
ment will listen for them at both Say
vile and Arlington stations. Whether
1t intends to give further publication
to them is not revealed. but 1t may
use them as an argument for barring
secret diplomacy and letting the people
know where the struggle leads.

Of
Under WAY.

Washington Nov. 2s.-The operating
committee Of vice presidents, headed
by A. w. Thompson of the Baltimore
and Ohio. met here today to unity the
eastern war transportation arteries.
The pooling Of equipment on the east
ern lines with the radical interchange
Of men. power and trackage, was to
be worked out by the committee In
conjunction with the railroads board.
Which railroads actually were to be
brought into the new efficiency. scheme
remained to be decided. It was likely
that the Pennsylvania. the Baltimore
and Ohio, the New York Central, the
Western Maryland and one or two
other war traffic lines would At once
be directed to pool their cars and re-
port on congested traffic conditions.
ONE DELICATE QUESTION.
Which roads shall be denied high
class freight and which will accept low
rate freight was a delicate question to
be acted upon.
The vice presidents will consider
means Of Immediately subornating
transportation of non war commodi-
ties. An appeal to the public also to
curtail passenger travel for pleasure
also is expected.
Further elimination Of parallel and
service Is certain.
If, however, the committee fails to
find a solution for the traffic burden.
officials are prepared to
ask President Wilson for transporta-
ton dictator" with power to set aside
all hampering statutes and run tho
railroads for the war.

ALASKAN EXPORTS

The greatest trouble with Alaska, says the Cordova Times, in an eco lomlcal sense Is that 1t exports too much raw material and spends too much money in other ways outside. The government Is now cruising for pulp wood. and let us hope that when he time comes to make the pulp the wood will not be shipped outside. bu- will be manufactured iIfto the finished product right here. This will malS0 her pulp cheaper and will keep the money in the territory. The same Nope holds good with respect to the manufacture of aeroplanes from Alas a lumber. Tn buying goods ou" merchants have tO buy from middle nen very often. or from commission nen, and our fishermen have to sell middlemen instead of getting nore of the benefits of the final price If the fish Even our copper ore Is 'hipped outside to be smelted.

 Officials here having to do with la. Nor and immigration matters have 1eard many reports recently of move. nents to suspend the Chinese exciu don laws and there is some supper or the plan making it's appearance.
 The reason advanced for admittinF he cheap Chinese labor which fo! many years has been ropelled in the interests of the higher was ged working nan of the western world are that he withdrawal of so many men for military service makes 1t necessary o import more labor and that great saving can be effected through the introduction of the ChInaman into western and particularly American in- iustries.
