Washington is smiling an official smile
(Which is the diplomatic way of con-

the other day, when Secretary Baker
was on an inspection trip. He crossed
from one camp to another when a
British cruiser lying near by, sig
nailed:
"Who is that going ashore flying an
official flag?"
"The secretary of war" was the
answer.
"Thnnk you," said the Britisher.
Don't mention It," replied our cour-
teous bluejackets.

ously. He read the signal.

A strike OF the miners employed by

The Jack Mining Company. an Okla

Mid-monthly cleanup at the Mogol-
Ion mills amounted to one and a half
tons Of gold and silver. This does
not include the concentrates which
are shipped to the smelter.
BY strange coincidence which may
be good omen, a big strike Of rich
bonanza ore was made on the Lady
Franklin group in Kingston at the very
moment almost when silver went to
one dollar an ounce.
The present high price Of silver is
causing increased activity at the sill

ises to result in a revival Of silver
mining in some OF the old camps Of

ing moves are not looked for, but rath-
er repetition on n more intensive
scale of last winters tactics. Short.
sharp blows at selected points during
fine spells. n continual battering on
wide fronts by concentrated gun fire
lengthening out to closeup rest sta
tions, hundreds of airplanes swarming
out to attack encampments, aviation
sheds, munition dumps and lines of
communication-these will be the reg
ular order of the day throughout the
winter. The enemy will be kept on
the jump all the time, great gaps will
be torn in his dwindling reserves and
every possible step taken, first to pre-
vent his ever again assuming the ini-
tiative upon the western front, and,
secondly, to weaken him irreparably
for the final knockout blow in 1918.
The part the American contingents
will play In the winters activity Is
the closest of all military secrets at
this time. There is nothing that Hin
denburg is burning to know so much
ms just what Persh,ng's plans are, and
there Is nothing that Pershlng is more
bent upon doing than keeping the
slightest hint from Hindenburg.
Prudence the Motto.
But while no light can be shed at
this stage upon the plans of the Amer
lean commander In chief, am able to
give this assurance that prudence Is
his motto, that he will never consent
to play to the gallery as even the best
generals are sometimes tempted to do.
1t Is Haig's great merit that he bides
his time and only strikes when. he Is
able to strike in real earnest. Persh-
Ing resembles the British leader In this
respect, and Europe has had enough
war experience to know that these
are the men who get the real results
at the least possible cost in lives, and
that though they have little to show on
the war map, they are steadily, per-
sistently, relentlessly wearing down
the toughest foe that ever took the
field.
What can be said, however, without
giving any Information to the enemy Is
that here In France Americans will
cooperate throughout the winter In
the gigantic task Of preparing for the
death blow. The details cannot be
discussed, but the ground has been
cleared for q colossal amount Of work,

U-BOATS NOW EMPLOY
SMOKE SCREEN DEVICE

New York.--New German de-
vices for aiding U-boat frightful-
ness are reported by passengers
on an American liner just ar
rived in port from England.
One is the use of n smoke
screen in which the submarine
may conceal itself while attack
ing. escaping or submerging.
The smoke screen has been used
for months by battleships. de-
stroyers and merchantmen. Its
first use by a submarine was re-
ported In the warnings of u
boat Off the Atlantic coast.
The other device is the use of
mirrored periscopes. BY coat
ing them with silver the perl
scopes reflect the surrounding
water and become invisible n
couple Of hundred yards away.
It is believed this explains why
survivors of several ships lately
sunk saw no evidence of sub
marine before or after the at-
tack.

ALLIES PREPARING FOR THE WINTER

From Factory and Home

Big MOVES NOT LOOKED FOR
Short, Sharp Blows at Selected Points
During Fine Spells, With occa-
sionaI Airplane Raids To Be
Order of Day for Winter.

Parls.-Preparation for the fourth
winter campaign ON the western front
are already in full swing. The sum-
mer campaign is over and while both
the English and French may be ex-
pected to make few big drives, it is
not anticipated that the beginning of
winter, for military purposes, will see
any radical alteration in the war map
Of France and Flanders.
Millions of sweaters, socks. paper
suits, rubber Wellington boots, head
wraps, mufllers, gloves and mittens
are beginning to flow out from fac
tory and home to the French poilus
and British Tpmmies, hundreds of
thousands of whom are facing their
fourth winter period in the trenches.
The comfort of the. fighting man is
so carefully studied now, after three
years experience that nothing will be
overlooked to make the coming harsh
trial benrable.
Practically all the way from Nieu-
port to Verdun the armies are in quar-
ters totally different from those they
occupied last winter; with the excep-
ton of one or two stretches as

selves with snug and well-drained
trenches for the winter.

will be taken over during the bad
weather by Americans. not only in
the United States, but also in France.
And this quite aside from the training
of the fighting men and the education
of the officers in the latest phases of
warfare.
The result of all this activity will
be that next spring the entente allies
will possess n supereminent war ma
chine, gunned, manned and equipped
in an unprecedentedly complete and
magnificent manner. 1t was correct to
say last winter that in 1917 the entente
allies would develop striking force
which could not be exceeded In 1913
If the war continued. But ut that
time the Intervention of the United
States was only dim possibility; the
revolution in Russia and the collapse
of her army were foreseen by nobody.
Tough Problem for Enemy.
AS the situation stands at present,
with the United States adding her
mighty power to the common lot, and
with still unextinguished hope that
the Muscovites may be brought back
TO their old aggressive fighting. men
belonging to the inner circles of Eur
rope affirm their belief that the entente
allies will be able to confront linden
burg with far harsher problem in
1918 than they could have hoped to
put up to him In 1917.
Next spring the British army will
still be at top strength, for in the past
summer Haig has put forth nothing
like his maximum effort, and in con-
sequence has suffered losses far below
the figures anticipated at the British
war office. When 1t was seen that the
Russian army must drop out of all
offensive plans this summer and that
Germany would be able to develop an
unexpected strength upon the western
front, the Franco-British policy natur-
ally became more conservative. The
building up of the American armies
has confirmed the wisdom of this
course, which looks to the accumula-
ton of an irresistible power before the
last continuous, annihilating blows are
delivered upon all possible fronts.
