British Would Be Restricted

As far as the British are concerned
there would then be left to them only the
possibility Of an attacl, on the front from
Lille TO the bank Of the User, west OF
Ypres. because only on this front would
thew be able to move out Of their prepared
position against a German position.
But no offensive could be made over the
front before Lille because 1t would IN
volye the destruction Of Lille, RoubaiX and
Tourcoing, cities whose aggregate popu-
lation is nearly half million and whose
destruction would be a terrible blow to
France. Actually, the British would he
restricted 10 an attack on ten or fifteen
mile front before the Lys River and the
User Rivcr-that Is. on the scene OF the
cid battles Of Ypres, where the Germans
hold all the good positions and where the
ground and general conditions are all to
the disadvantage Of the British.
In the same way. the French would be
COMPELLED TO attack If they should choose

behind and on the east bank of this river
all the way TO the vicinity Of Mezieres;
from Mezeres, which is covered by old
French forts, it follows the Franco-Bel-
gian frontier, including Hirson, where
there are other forts, and then curves
northward toward Lille, between Landre-
cies and Valenciennes. finally touching the
forts of Lille and rejoining the present
line between Lille and Armentercs.
A retreat 20 this line would unquestion-
ably shorten the German front by more
than fifty miles. 1t would strengthen If,
taking out the last big salient between
Lille and Verdun. II would give the Ger
mans a position of enormous strength, al
most half of it covered by the Meuse River,
which is a considerable military obstacle.
By such a retreat the Germans would re-
duce the number of troops needed to mold
the lire By from 10000 to 100000.
Nor should it be forgotten that such
retreat would leave desert over a very
wide front from Lille to Vcrdun, and. If 1t
should bc made in July or August, would
probably preclude any offensive on the
mart Of the Allies against the new German
line this year. Such retreat would mean
withdrawal in some places for forty
miles in depth-that is, nearly twice as
much as the extreme distance of the re-
tirement this spring-and it would mean
q retirement on front at least twice as
long.

Il fully agree with DIR. James. Peo-
pie need more iron. There can be no

Big CIRCUS ARRIVES
And AWES THOUSANDS
Ringing Brothers Here and Ready for
First Performance Today.

Red Wagon days are at hand.
This morning the circus began to de-
scend upon Washington. bringing all the
strange sights and the thousand rain
bow hues and tons of spangies character
istic Of the white Tops"
This Is one way of saying that the
Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Shows" is TO be in this city's excited
midst today, detraining, feeding itself,
polishing up plate glass and gold leaf.
and otherwise preparing for the gee
rand" parade which is TO take place to-
morrow morning pretty much all over
the District OF Columbia.
over at Fifteenth and II streets north
east will arise the dull thud OF the stake
driving mallet. the aroma OF unbsled hay
and open air cookery, and the ali-per-
vading perfume of the sawdust.
1t is promised there will be many a
threatened attack Of apoplexy under
small caps this Sunday, and many
treasured quarter or even four bits,
clutched tightly within the trousers
pockets, and many a haphazard answer
to some scriptural query, the witness
being occupied mentally with such refiec-
tions as:
Ringing Brothers or bust. Gee, I'd
hate TO be monkey II that monkey was
TO be numpire of a nelephants base
BAH game. and had to call a nelephant
out on strikes"
And no wonder. You may babble Of
the new generation" and boys old be-
fore their time. and precocity, and all
that sort of thing, but the sons and
heirs OF the men who got up before dawn
to watch and listen TO the din and creak-
ing forms Of the ghosrly wagon tain OF
the one-ring circus OF long ago-those
said sons and heirs are going to adopt
for their wholesome motto today, tomor-
row and Tuesday:
Ringing Brothers, or bust!'
Just as well get ready for It. It's in
the blood and just as long as summers
come to hand and the red wagons. the
calliopes and the white tops are abroad
in the land. it's going to take more than
human science to eradicate this microbe
of the circus
OF course today will constitute "visi-
tors day in "RinglingviIIe," and all who
choose 10 make trip 10 the show
grounds will be welcome to roam about
ii at will. But the first "oficIaI' ap-
pearance OF the circus will come with
the street parade tomorrow morning
This pageant has been described as
three miles of stretched out rainbow -
II will contain scores of gorgeous tab
leau floats and chariots. many open cages
showing some OF the finest specimens of
the Ringing Brothers menagerie, hun
dreds OF splendid horses. six bands. two
calliopes and no end OF novelties such as
sixteen csmels driven like horses, mu-
sicians riding in saddle, and zebra teams
Tomorrow and Tuesday afternoon and
night performances will open with the
fairyland spectacle, Cinderella" in
which a cast OF more than 200 actors tell
the story OF the fairy-favored maid Of
the chimney corner. A ballet of 300 girls
take part in this gigantic spectacle, in
which It is promised that "childhood's 8
golden dreams will indeed come true.
Following the spectacle will come two
hours of arenic carnival presenting more
than 400 circus artists. 20 per cent OF
whom are this season making their hrst
appearance in America.

known as standing army. Instead Of
calling them policemen we call them
regulars" I don't see how We can say
standing army is a libel upon our
civilization unless we are ready to say
the same of policemen.
Why should not a nation as well as
home or city protect itself? We lock
our windows and doors every night to
keep out those who would rob, or kill
US. Should not a nation lock its doors?
Every harbor is a door and every fort
is door. each one of which should be
locked.
The police force of the sea is the
navy. Instead of stationing a man on
so many blocks on the sea It is neces-
sary to place. them in groups. the plat
form on which they stand being the
battleship. The revolver of the police
man on his beat is heightened until It
becomes mighty cannon carrying a IS
inch ball.
II the State has a right TO make war
on a mob or to quelI a riot then the
nation has a right to strike another
nation who tramples under her feet the
rights Of humanity and defies the eternal
principles OF justice.
I am a disciple OF peace, an advocate
OF peace, but peace with honor rather
than peace at any price. Militarism is
running sore, an uneNcusable blunder,
an unspeakable crime and an unpardOn-
able sin, of the so-called Christian world.
l believe that the world would be in
finitely happier and safer II all the night
ing fleets and battleships were sunk into
the bottom Of the sea and there should
be no navy except an international force
Of cruisers sufficient to protect commerce
from pirates and the degradation of
half civilized tribes.
In this great work OF redemption
America should lead the way. We must
admit that conditions are not ideal
am sorry that they are not more so, but
we should help to make them so.
We make the State better as individuals.
We regenerate society as individuals.
Till we get nearer this ideal it does
seem necessary to have some kind Of
protection and TO have proper means to
that end.
That nation does the most for men
and for God which does the most to
carry the world TO the golden time when
nations shall beat their swords into
ploughshares and their spears into prun-
ing hooks. and all have acknowledged
that the Prince of Peace is the King OF
Kings and the Lord OF Lords.

The following sermon was written
especially for The Washington Herald
by Rev. John E. Briggs, pastor of the
Fifth Baptist Church:
Text: Blessed be the Lord. my strength. which
teacheth my hands TO war and my fingers to hght."
Ps Hal
They shall beat their swords into ploughshares
and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall
net lift up sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more."-Isa. "a.
