,rn pivot It's capture ruptured this
line and created the greatest menace
10 the entire German defensive system
in this sector.
May Delay Advance
The advance of the British after the
fall of Fresnoy was held up TO a large
extent by the success Of the Germans
in clinging to the town Of Oppy. about
a mile TO the south, and strong point
in the Oppy line. The success OF the
Germans to-day is largely attributable
70 this fact. Unless the British again
take Frcsnoy from the enemy. their
advance on Douai will be delayed con-
siderably.
Meanwhile. however. the British con-
tinued their operations against Bulle-
court. at the southern end of the Dro-
court -Queant line, and are on the verge
of an exceedingly important victory
there. Berlin admits tonight that the
British troops are in possession Of the
southeastern boundary Of Bullecourt,
which is encircled on three sides by
the Australians. Should the British
succeed in capturing Bullecourt and
crumpling in the German line at this
point. they would force the retirement
of the enemy from a large part of the
Oppy line, if not from the whole Of 1t.
BuiIecourt is but two and a half miles
west OF Queant, which, in turn. is ten
miles from Cambria. The rolling up
Of the entire Drocourt-Queant line
would release the great Lens coal re-
zion from the German grip and I'M
peril the entire German line in North
ern France.

vicinity.
Convinced by this experience on tn
Mexican border and by the European
example. that commemorative vice
weakens an army, often more than the
bullets Of the enemy, and that it can
be successfully suppressed, the admin
istration had inserted in the National
Army bill two sections which give the
President broad powers over the envi-
ronments of camps. These sec ions
az and Is in the Army bill of May Is,
1910 give the Secretary of War power
TO "do everything by him deemed nee
cessarv" TO protect men in military
training from vice. These powers were
later eX ended to the Secretary of the
Navy.
Thus was placed in the hands OF the
executive branch of the government
practically absolute power over COM
mercialiZcl vice, insofar as il can pos
sibly affect the military establishments.
This legislation flutes a revolu en-
arv step in the solution of this great
military problem. and one which is
having far-reachirg effect upon the
whole problem of the control OF ven.
ereal disease.
Regulations for the enforcement Of
this law were Immediately framed by
the War Department, md Sec, etary
Baker wrote letter TO the COVE. or
Of each state, ia which lie expressed mis-
de elimination TO enforce these regu-
lations absolutely, and added that in
case condi.i ions were not satisfactory
in the vicinity Of any camp that camp
would be moved. This latter threat of
course, gave the Secretary en- immense
leverage by its appeal to local self-in-
| tereSt.
In spite of the drastic character of
these regulations and the fortnight ex-
pressions of the Secretary's letter,
there were men both in civil life and in
-the Army who could not believe that
the time-honored policy of tolerating
the ravages of deadly communicable
diseases as a necessary evil was really
to be changed.
The now historic case of a certain
Southern CITY is in point. AS a camp
was to be located near that city, the
| Secretary of Var wrote to the mayor,
stating that commercialized vice must
first be eradicated. The mayor re-
piled expressing his ignorance of the
existence of any such evil in his city.
The Secretary thereupon sent two Fed
eral investigators, who obtained exact
figures showing that there were mum
Der of vile house, and giving the
names of the occupants, the prices
charged. The mayor was greatly en-
lgh,ened. This cay has been cleq1ing
house ever since. The camp has been
moved, but not because OF conditions in
the city.
Such Incidents have cone far to con-
vince all c0ncernc' IA. The War De-
partmcnt is ia earDost in its intention
to remove the menace of commercial
vice from the vicinity Of its training
camps. Meantime, the actual work of
eradication is going forward with an
energy and thoughtfulness that is even
more convincing.
