THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

llafo mas Oeen no out OF the ordinary
fighting along the French and British
fronts this week. The ententes- have
spent time consolidating and stralghten-
ing their lines, and the Germans after
many vigorous assaults have apparently
submitted to the new alignment. The
war policy Of the ententes as shown by
the summers campaigns has been to
aim ut short forward movements and
then consolidate their gains. In this
policy, SO far, the ententes have been
successful in each of their "drives."
On the other hand, the summers history
does not show single material success
of the German assaults of which there
have been many, particularly in the
Verdun region.
The Italians have made some substan-
tial gains and have, gotten nearer Trieste
their objective, but by capturing COM
manding elevations rather than progress
sive miles. They are fighting in a
mountainous country. Triese is the one
seaport of Austria and il an important
commercial city.
The Russians are still but like sand
dunes. Immense in quantity, but blown
about like dust by every wind. What
will happen there before the finish is yet
to be seen. There are still prospects Of
perhaps the most awful consequences Of
this awful war, by internecice strife and
revolution. Perhaps the occupation Of
Petrograd by the Germans would bring
them together and to their senses quick
er than any other thing. And there is
possibility of that occurring in the
near future owing to the dlsorganizatlon
Of the Russian troops near Riga the sea-
port Of Petrograd.
The political event Of the week has
been the publication Of President Will
sons answer to the peace proposals Of
the Pope. As expected the proposals
are rejected by the President Ind will
be followed by similar reflections by the
entente powers. The presidents note 10
conceded by all critics as very strong
document. The key sentence Of the
note 10 perhaps the hardest slap In the
face, though under the diplomatic glove,
that the kaiser has ever received, and
from his point Of view will sting most
bitterly because his own words testify to
tho 1correctness~ Of the Presidents a.

On the other hand, the Entente again
looks anxiously to this country for more
tonnage, urging America to redouble her
efforts. Admiral Mayo returns from Eng
land and discusses the submarine and pos
sibly an Allied naval offensive. An un-
usual number of disasters at the hands Of
U-boats is reported from all parts Of the
world, as well as the sinking of several
submarines. A United States destroyer
is damaged by a torpedo, one man being
killed and FIVE injured. News from Berlin
In an undated dispatch received by the
British Admiralty says that Germany Is
expected shortly TO declare the coasts Of
the United States, Canada and Cuba war
zones.

The Western Front

IN THE West the British in short
smashes continue their drive in Elan
ders, slowly creeping up on Passchendaele
despite rain and morass. With all signs
indicating a new British stroke at any
moment, the Germans are reported TO be
reparing TO food the country in front Of
b. British lines by damming the User.
Across the Channel policy Of air re
pnsals on Germany is definitely an

Washington announces that the United
States will take part in the coming Allied
conference at Paris, statement which
again raises the question as to what part
the United States can best play in the
war in view Of the Allied shipping crisis
An echo of the same query is the asser-
ton Of a German military critic that the
United States army can be ignored owing
TO transport difficulties and the need Of
ii. shipping for Allied supplies. Ten Con-

Similarly, In the field Of transportation
comes word that the government may take
over the railroads. "The exigencies of
war may force government ownership in
the near future" says a statement given
out by the Conference Committee on Ma

haps the only step that the railroad people
could take to postpone this for any length

went into effect last week, when the Presi-
dent declared it the Solemn obligation" Of
all eligible non-member banks and trust
companies to Join the Federal Reserve
system without further delay, that they
might contribute their share TO the con-
solidated gold reserves Of the country and
aid more effectively in "a vigorous prose-
cution and successful termination Of the
war" Recent financial movements Of
momentous character made it wise, in the
view of the Administration, for the Fed
eral Reserve Board to control the entire
gold reserve of the nation as speedily as
possible.
To this end the invitation extended SIM
ply turned the movement Of many banks
in the last three weeks into a landslide.
Within that time resources Of institutions
in the system have risen from $1,000, 000,-
900 to more than S2,600,000,000. In short,
the President, by a call based largely on
patriotism, is bringing about change in
the American financial system which ordi-
narily could occur only at the pleasure Of
the institutions affected. "The mandate
Of liberty" went abroad from the Presi-
dent, and another Of the wars many radi-
cal changes in this country took place with
speed and agreement utterly impossible
under peace conditions.
Almost at the same time the President
put into operation broad powers con-
ferred upon him by the trading with the
enemy act, delegating authority to various
government departments and to a newly
created War Trade Board. Rights to
license imports and exports are conferred |,

Won Buelow mentioned as his possible sue

Constantinople, being received with flowers

peace. Erzberger says that the fight for
peace and democracy shall continue In Ger

Foreign Minister, is said to differ radically
with Michaelis on peace terms. In Eng
land, Sir John Simon becomes Britain's

libel suit growing out Of charges that he
fled London during an air raid, when he
really had left for France. A split on

As a preliminary step to possible draft

AS a preliminary step to possible draft
ing Of labor, the Department Of Labor is
now gathering information concerning the
requirements for additional men likely to

country's war programme. "Administra-
ton officials admit that If they fail in
the next two months to obtain a suf-
fcient supply Of labor it will be necessary
to adopt CONSUMPTION" continued the dis
patch.
The answer to this story is-nothing at
all. There was more interest in the world
series than in the possibilities of this
move.

ard some sort Of socialist government
control In this country, at least, for the
period of the war, a correspondent Of The
New York Tribune briefly epitomizes the
significance of the communicating Of pas
senger and cargo ships thus: The United
States goes into business on a money
making basis on a scale that the optimistic
government ownership or operation advo-
Gates have kept among their happy dreams
Of what might come true within twenty
five or fifty years" Or, stated in more
concrete terms, the government, on Octo-
Der IS. gained complete control of all
American coastwise and seagoing ships
of 2,5C0 tons upward, numbering some
500 and aggregating some 100000 tons.
Even ships down to 1000 tons may also
be included in the future. And, hardest
blow of all, the government will operate
these ships without lowering Of rates.
The threatened drafting of labor pre-
sents another instance of radical govern
ment action becoming imminent while the
country looks on almost without culver.

unskiled workingmen to man the airplane

This remark has been well illustrated by
the news Of the past week. Almost lg-

editorial comment Of a dissenting nature,
are six events of unusual Importance to
the economic and political development OF
the United States. To-day, in the shadow

which four years ago probably would
have plunged the editors of the country
into depths Of violent disagreement and
discussion, are taken as calmly as II TINS
country had long been used TO "Bolshe-
vihsm" at Washington.
These six events are the threatened
draft Of labor to carry on necessary war
operations, the frank statement that the
government may be forced to take over
the railways, the mobilization OF the gold
reserves Of the United States through the
rauying Of all eligible non-member state
banks and trust companies TO the Fed
eral Reserve system, the communicating OF
all ocean and coastwise ships of $500 tons
or more, the hating of trade with the
