of Lens-German Counter Attacks
Costly.
While the British and French con
tinued to push forward their lines al
several points between Lens and the
Champagne region, the Germans were
hurled against the recently captured
positions on both the French and Brit
ish fronts.
These onslaughts, as did every one
since the big push" of the allies be-
gan, were rolled back, and the inVad'
ers suffered severe losses.
These successes were reported IN
both the British and French official
statements.
The British war Office report further
progress in the region Of Lens, Where
three German counter attacks also
were repulsed, a number of prisoners
and machine guns being captured.
The French report violent artillery
action at many sectors and the repulse
of heavy German attacks, especially N
the Champagne. The earlier state
ment said:
French infantry forces again pushed
forward in the region north Of Sancy
and Jouy, on the St. QIentin- Rheims
battle front. Further east there was
hand-gren2de fighting in the sectcr OF
Hurtebise.
German airplanes dropped several
bombs in the region o. Dunkirk, slight

German war department, there were
battles near Braye and Hurteblz farm
On the Rheims -Neufchatel road 70 tn
of Prosnes, end on the western bank
of the River Suippes, all OF which end
ed with heavy French losses.
On the British front in the Arras
Lens region, the statement SAYS, the
artillery duel increased to the mos'
extreme violence"
German aviators shot down neal
Nieuport an entente air ship, which
fell blazing, into the sea.
The official communication issued BY
the French war office says:
Between the SAmme ard the Disc
very active artillery fighting took
place during the course of the day
south of st. Quentin and north Of Ur
villers. Between S0issons and Rheims
the artillery actions were intermittent
in various sectors. The enemy violent

quarter in which the cathedral is 10

"In Champagne the day was marked

heights which we held in the Massii
of Moronvillers. A violent attack di
rected against Mount Haut was entire

on the enemy.
"A German batta,icn reported north

1t was announced in Pottsville

Facing the Fire Of the Doctors.

Thousands OF young Americans are undergoing
most important and to some extent nerve
racking experience just now. They are being
examined by the doctors to determine their physi-
cal fitness to serve in the army. In sense it is
qualification to any man to know that he is ma
terially and organically sound, that his several
members are serviceable, that his functions are
normally performed and that in all ways he is it
When he wins such verdict in quest of nsur-
ance he goes about boasting of it to his friends.

ance company, for defects that will not affect
policy render man useless to the army. There

these may be set thousands who have sought en-

that puts them out of the quest These latter are

Boastful William,

Emperor William observes the beginning OF
the fourth year OF the war by addressing his war
riors, both land and sea, and his people in gen
eral in self-conhdent terms Less could not have
been looked for, because none expect the kaiser
to admit even the possibility Of ultimate defeat,
but some OF his phrases have spurious ring, "As
our problems multiply, so does our strength in
crease. We are inyincible," would be boastful
even in monarch victorious in battle. Coming
from one who has been checked and thwarted OH
all sides, and who is now facing conditions that
threaten defeat, words so vainglorious are
strangely out of place. re-.
The kaiser continues to talk OF the war being
forced upon Germany. Only as it relates to the
last fifteen months, since the Allies have taken
over the offensive, is this true; but not as to its
inception His praise for the navy must refer to
the U-boat, for that is the only branch Of the
floating establishment showing activity. The end
of this campaign OF destruction, which kas so
stirred the world against the empire, will termi-
nate German plans Of. world-dominion, now
weakly supported by imperial praise and the
empty promise OF "a strong free empire"
Freedom can have no place where might alone
is supposed to make right. The kaisers boasts
are as futile as his hopes were vain The world
will be free, but only when the Hohenzoern

Weakness Of the creel Censorship.

The publication of the full text of Admiral
Gleaves' report on the passage Of the flota bear
ing American troops to France discloses the
amazing weakness of the Creei censorship The
report is plain, straightforward recital of facts
and contains nothing full knowledge of which
could materially affect the military situation one
way or the other Only an exaggerated or
abcrant conception Of the censor's function could
lead to the suppression of Admiral Geaves' clear.
lucid statement and the substitution therefor of
the fapdoodle literature contained in the "elab-
oration' originally sent out Nothing transmit
ted by the admiral possibly can warrant the asser-
ton made in the Creel production that an attack
In force" was sustained and defeated BY the
American ships That much at least OF the full.
mination signed by the name Of the secretary OF
navy was pure invention by his censor.
Efforts at maintaining an impenetrable and
sanetihed mystery around the movements of
American forces should be abandoned. The pro.
cess, according to the confession of the authori-
ties, has not so far bafied the enemy, but it has
sorely tried the patience of the people. Loyal
Americans do not want to interfere with anything
that rightfully should be kept secret, but when
troop movement has been successfully accom-
plished they are surely entitled to the whole truth
and without establishment The call sent out
to the country to wake up would sound lot

Clearing the Decks.

Without regard to other considerations the
passage by the senate Of resolution asking that
the federal constitution be amended to prohibit
the liquor traffic should remove one serious OBJ
stacle to the transaction OF public business From
the beginning of the present session every impor-
tant move has been clogged or checked by the
interjection Of debate on prohibition. The senate
has finally put the subject back onto the house,
which in turn may refer it to the states, although
the democratic caucus has agreed to consider
nothing but war legislation for the present. If
the house acts on the resolution prohibition will
be shelved and matters OF more vital importance
in connection with the war may claim congress
sonal attention. Dry forces will quite naturally
feel elated and the vets correspondingly will be
stirred to new efforts by the senates action. Sub
mission of the amendment with time limit OF
six years for ratification would start the biggest
battle between these forces ever pulled off. "
