THE RENEWED OFFENSIVE

However much it may have been believed by the German people, and others who were watching the situa- ton. that the allied offensive on the western front had come to a definite conclusion as told to the kaiser by Field Marshal H-rdenburg there has been furnished the best of req sons for 2 revision of such belief by the line stratghtening move Of the British in .heir drive against 1Ieszines ridge
 which not only accomplished it's ob- fecr but the blow was such Srna sh- nE one that much enemy territory md numerous villa ges were taken, defeuses which were known to be very strong were -Ob1iterated. large numbers of prisoners were taken and the enemy was so greatly surprised at the form of the attack. although he knew some move was about to be made. that he failed to come back with 2 counter attack
 Field Marshal Haig has repeated in Belgium much the same sort of a performance which he carried out at Arras two months ago. The problem was somewhat different and other tao tics were used but it was the successful continuation of preparations which have been underway for two years. and in view of such extensive plans and the successful outcome it can be appreciated that it was 9 section which was needed by the British for the purpose of carrying out further operations on that front and from such preparations and from such exc cution it is made dou5ly certain that the allied resources and cunning Is by no means at an end.
 This section gained puts into the possession of the British a German salient that was annoying and espec- ially dangerous to Ypres and it is en- tirely possible that this is the be- ginning Of a move to drive the Ger mans out of that section of Belgium which permits them to menace ship

PERsHINe IN EUROPE.

The announcement which is made to the effect that General Pershing and his staff have arrived safely In Eng and on their way to France where he American army is to be sent to participate in the activities on the western battle front ad,a another pit Of evidence 10 that which has already been made plain that this country is going to utilize more than it's navy for the purpose of fighting for the liberty of the world and the crushing of PTussianism. r
 His departure from this country has been surrounded with as much secrecy as was the despatch of the United States destroyers and the sending Of the supply ship to Q French port with foodstuffs which will be gathered at the base where the Amer lcan troops are to be located, but it ls in accord with the plan of the war department that the major general who is to command the American forces should be despatched with his assistants some time in advance of his men that he may get fully in touch with the allied leaders, that he may be given an opportunity to study Inc requirements at close range and hat he may thus be better prepared 70 get his forces in shape for the ask which will be faced. This, like he arrival of war and supply ships. bound to have it's good effects up- on the allied armies It shows that he part which this country is going 70 play in the war is not solely that of providing the funds and the pro- visions. but that it is going to get actively into the fray and fight for the principles for which it stands and present 9 sturdy resistance to the fragrant and brutal disrespect that has been manifested towards it's rights
 This country now has a corps of engineers, naval vessels, naval and military officers in Europe and it will rot be long before the first exped di- -iouary army is landed there to CO., 1p=rate with the British and French ID the mighty struggle.

CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

With representatives in attendance from all sections of the country, in cluding delegates named by the gov ernors of states as well as these sent by organizations, 1t is impossible that there should not be widespread in terest in the National Conference of Charities and Corrections now in ses- sion at Pittsburg- The countrywide conference is to the United States what the state conferences are to the four corners of the respective com monwealths.
 These conferences are the result of the development which has taken place in connection with social well fare work Like other movements which have made their appeal and heeu pushed on to successful accom- plishments, this national gathering is 1the outcome Of a small beginning, but it has grown to the proportions where it is the biggest annual affair of it's kind in connection with upIife work And 1t has grown and developed be- cause 1t has been recognized that there is need for just such a confer ence for the nation as well as the states that there may be a discussion of the big problems which are con- fronted throughout the country, that every section of the country may be put in touch with the way other sections are successfully dealing with needed reforms by the delegates reporting back the achievements arid using their efforts to have similar ideas a dopted in their states and that there may be an exchange of ideas that the best method of handling special problems and securing needed reforms may be available to Connecticut, as well as to New York or California.
 The holding of these conferences year after year must make 1t appar- ent that the main idea back of it is meeting with anticipated results. The bringing of reforms throughout the entire country and not solely to one small section thereof is certainly. to be desired and this national confer ence is proving of tremendous value in. this worthy and ambitious under taking.
