Lorch Company PIeases-


 One of the best, if not the best, stock companies ever seen in reper- tcire in Clifton have been showing at the Princess theatre all this week. The Theodore Lorch company was practically unknown to this section prior to it's initial performance but since Sunday night they have made themselves solid with the theatre go- ing public of Clifton. Their repertoire is extensive and consists of the latest New York successes. It is an all star company and it is safe to say that each member is the peer of every oth- CT. All put forth their best efforts and the plays given are clean and wholesome and much above the aver age. The opening bill on Sunday night was Under Cover" which was greeted by a crowded house. The pro dUction was excellent and brought out the best talent of which the cast were capable. On Monday night Kick In' was the bill which was an entirely different kind of play but pro duced with equal success. Tuesday night the offering was Today" in which the members, if anything. sur passed their previous efforts and left the audience stunned with amaze luent at the thrilling climax. On We'd resday night the company deviated from the program and delighted the audience with a roaring comedy in which the versatility of the actors came to the front. The title of the play was Baby Mine'' and kept the house in convulsions from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Thursday night the attraction was 50 Much for So Much" problem play which was we'll received. Tonight another comedy is to be offered which will no doubt make a hit and is entitled "A Pair of Sizes" On Saturday night MT. Lorch has decided to give what he considers his best production, ''Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" This play promises to be the best produc- ed by the company in Clifton and a capacity house is expected. The company close their Clifton engage ment on Sunday evening with the pre- sentation of Damaged Goods the play which has created a sensation all over the country in the past few months. L
 The Lorch company is anfexcel1ent aggregation of artists and if they ever decide to make Clifton another visit will be heartily received by theatre Soers.

compIete Canal Contract


 L. V. Hoyt, of Hoyt and Hutchens, arrived in Clifton the first of the week fromYork where he has been busy the past month constructing the new ditch for the York Canal Go. Hoyt and Hutchens were awarded the contract for the building of the canal and the work was completed on Sat urday last and turned over to the company who were very much pleas ed with the work, pronouncing it an excellent piece of construction. The new ditch is mile long and is built up considerably higher than the old enc which followed the river bed and washed out during high water. The new structure is much wider and considerable amount of blasting was done through rock. The tunnels were enlarged and quite little con- crete work was done. It is under stood that in the near future the Canal company is figuring on the construc- tion of concrete dam for the inn pounding of the water and which it is estimated will cost in the nighbor- hood of $7,0O0.

A separate peace with Russia means
that the United States must supply the
man-power to defeat the Central Empires,
and il means that unless the United States,
in addition, can supply the food for Brit
ain. the steel for France and the coal for
italy there may be, at the least, a drawn
battle in Europe. We shall have to take
Russia's place in the battle line, and we
shall not be a complete substitute, for we
cannot exclude Germany from Russian
wheat fields.
New Peace Campaign in the Fall
Germany expects TO hold out until WIN
ter. She expects by her submarine cam
paign to bring Britain, at the least TO the
edge of famine. She plans to renew her
peace campaign of last year with the end
Of the present campaign. She expects
that the end of this campaign will find her
still! fighting far within enemy territory
Her campaigns are now directed to hold
inc. to the defensive on land; she relies
onIv upon the water for her offensive, but
she relies heavily upon it.
II the United States decides to send
troops at once to Europe, If she begins at
once the transport of these troops, and II

il becomes clear to the Germans that we
can send and maintain troops in France,
that we are going to send masses and that
some time next year American armies will
take their place on the front, then the out
come of the war will be plain to all Ger
mans. on the military side. This will be
true even if Russia has made separate
peace.
If the United States, acting with Britain,
can, by building ships, by using German
ships, by employing its fleet, by all means
conceivable. demonstrate that the subma-
rine cannot blockade Britain, that the Brit
ieh people can continue for year or two
more. then the German hope will expire
But it will take not less than year to
establish these things, and in all this time
the German army will still be able to de-
fend Germany and the German people may
easily be convinced that Britain is at the
end of her resources.
Examining the present campaign before
Arras. it is we'll for all Of US to note us
resemblance to Verdun, and the assertions
now made by the British inevitably sug-
pest the German statements when they
had failed TO get the French fortress by

as yet 70 yield to food exhaustion, and she
has no such industrial collapse to face or
fear as struck the South in 1864.
Laying aside the question of accidents,
which is a double question, as have tried
to explain, we have this situation: On the
military side there is no reason to expect
that Germany can be conquered before the
end of the campaign of 1917. We should
not be misled by the pleasing reports that
come from the Allied nations. In tie last
month the British and French have been
more successful than at the Somme, and
the British have won a really impressive
victory. But. having won their original
success, they have rot been able to follow
il I'D by a swift drive, and the Battle of
Arras is now sinking to the level of the
Battle of the Somme; it is becoming
pounding operation in which all the gains
are British, but the gains themselves are
not of the sort to hold out promise of the
colapse of the German army or an imme'
diate and far-reaching retreat.
Given the rate of progress now being
made by the British, given campaign
more successful than the Somme, but OF
the same general character, we may see
the Germans back at the French frontier
before snow flies. Save for bad weather
thew would have had TO retreat last
autumn. but in any event they were COM
nelled to retreat in the spring and they
seem certain TO end by making similar
withdrawal before this campaign ends
But if the Germans are compelled to with
draw 70 the French frontier; if, and this
is an extreme expectation, they are COM
nelled to retire to the line of Antwerp,
BRUSSELS. Namur and the Mouse, they will
still be provided with admirable defensive
lines, and they will have shortened their
front and thus reduced their responsibility
in men; that is, reduced the number OF
rcen needed TO hold the front by several
hundred thousand.
Always there is the possibility of Ger
man disaster, of sudden collapse OF Ger
man morale. Such collapse is not in the
least impossible, and we have German testi-
monv to prove that it was perilously near
at the end of the Somme fight last year
But. again. it is not thing on which to
calculate. Save for accident the Germans

have the men and the munitions to defend
themselves for the present campaign. They
have recently rallied after initial defeat
by the British, and they have been able to
hold the French with little gain in the
greatest offensive that the French have
yet undertaken, and the failure of this
offensive to win a decision has led TO a
modification of French military command
do not wish to seem to minimize recent
Allied success. Forty thousand prisoners,
four hundred guns, Vimy Ridge and its
accessories are the biggest bag in the West
since the Marine campaign closed. The
British performance demonstrates that in
the long run the new British armies must
win the war, for the mar-power of Britain
is now greater than that of Germany, in
Guiding British colonies, and besides there
is the considerable remaining man-power
Of France.
Submarine and Russia Give Hope
But the German reckons that before the
Allies, given their present rate of progress,
can reach Germany Britain will starve.
He calculates upon a separate peace by
Russia, or, at the least, Russian quiet
If his submarine campaign were de,
monstrable failure, if there should be a
Russian offensive like that of Brusioff of
last year, he would probably make peace
on terms that he would not now think Of.
But he has two solid reasons for expecting
TO escape ultimate defeat, the submarine
and Russia, and he is likely TO keep on,
unless he starves or is defeated in the field,
until both hopes have vanished.
And it is not demonstrable TO him or to
the world that the submarine campaign
will fail. We know it cannot succeed this
year. If by next year American aid and
British effort combine TO establish the fact
that Britain will not starve, then we shall
have a German surrender because there
will be left no German hope of success, if
Russia has not made separate peace.
But if Russia makes separate peace
there is an end of starving Germany, and
the man-power of France and Great Brit
ain will not be able TO tear down Ger
MANY and Austria with their fringes Of
Allies: not even with Italy could this be
expected.

single thrust. At that time the Germans
saw the extent of their first success and
the gain to them in the fall of Fort Douau-
mont. They asserted falsely, it seems now
that they had taken forty thousand prison
ers. AS they continued to gain ground,
and they did continue to gain ground right
up to the moment Of the Sonme attack,
from February to August, they claimed
that they were bleeding France white.
ENCOURAGEMENT for Germany
There are many points where the paral-
lei is not good The Germans sought to
take a fixed objective; the British are fight
ing to destroy a military force; but just
as the French were comforted and encour-
aged by the resistance of their troops. who
did, in fact, slowly yield ground, the Ger
mans will now be encouraged, are encour-
aged, by the resistance of their troops. The
German line does hold, as did the French.
1t has not yet been pierced; the chance of
piercing it before Arras probably has end

We must all of us guard against an
optimism which will do no good and
may have infinitely harmful consequences.
Reading our dispatches every day, we may
easily conclude that so many victories
must assure the immediate collapse of
Germany. But Germany sees it quite diff
ferently; she sees that in distant France
her armies are still contesting the ground
they have long held The loss of French
village or town means much to the French
and British who take it. 1t does not mean
much to the German people who learn
they have lost it.
In the United States we easily imagine
that the news that we have entered the
war must have a profound effect upon
German morale. 1t will have, but we do
not understand that this is balanced by
the effect upon German morale Of the col
lapse of Russia and the plain possibility,
believed TO be a certainty by most Ger
mans, that Russia will shortly make sep
arate peace. Eventually we shall be a
worse foe than Russia, but to-day Russia
has millions Of trained soldiers whore we
have hundreds; she has cannon, armies and
a common land frontier with Germany; we
are thousands of miles away, without ar

FLANDERS AND AT VERDUN.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Quickly fol-
lowing the smashing of the German
line around Laon by the French, the
completeness of which has been
shown in late reports, the Allies
strated another drive early this morn
ing east of Ypres, with success, ac>
cording to early reports These two
salients are probably the most i'm
portant between Verdun and the sea,
and with continued Allied successes,
the Germans may be forced to retire
along the whole line.
Although heavy rains fell in F'lan-
ders last night, the Allies were able
to prepars for this attack under more
favorable weather conditions than
heretofore prevailing.
In the successful Fench drives
Tuesday and Thursday, the Germans
lost many strong positions, together
with twelve thousand men, many
large guns and much booty
The massing of large numbers of
Germans from the Russian front On
the Austro-It Italian front is apparent
ly having its effect, subsequent at
tacks, it is announced from Rome,
resulting in the withdrawal of the
Italian army to the border and pre-
parations for the evacuation of the

1t is reported Russian units have
adbanyed along the northern end OF
the eastern line as far as the Gaore
railway, without coming in contact
with the retreating Germans.
