under consideration recommendation
that the entire weight of administra-
ton influence be brought to hear to

Would Prevent Injustice.
To save soldiers and sailors from
legal injustices during their absence
from home the measure would enjoin
the carrying out of certain civil court
actions until after the close of the
war and establish as n legal excuse for
failure to carry out certain contracts
the fact that man is in the military
service.
It is proposed that creditors suits
against officers or men be held up

man in the army or navy would have
no opportunity to make his defense in

hearing through counsel
Would Preserve Property.
IF such a judgment rested against a
man a. the time of his enlistment the
bill would prevent its execution
through sale of his property during
his absence. 1t would set aside the
statute of limitations SO that q debt
owed to soldier might not be out
lawed in his absence; prevent the
eviction of his family while he was

tect his equity in any real estate or
other purchase contract in which he
might have been engaged at the time
he went into the army; protect him
against the ordinary results of de-
faulted payments on business mort
cages: insure any rights he might
have to public lands, although his
service at the front had prevented
him from completing legal acquisition
of the property.
Protects Life Insurance.
Another element of protection the
bill would accord the fighting man
would be as to his life insurance.
which could not lapse through failure
to make any payment. His property
also would be protected from sale FOR

the legal experts of the war depart
ment have been able to devise all civil
rights and interests of men In the
military service would be safeguarded.

ers have been taken. Certainly these
big operations appeal to the imagi-
nation, but in viewing them, one
should not overlook the inestimable
value of the grinding, killing process
which never ceases.
This process has been continued
by the British steadily since the re-
cent big offensive. The artillery has
kept up an almost unceasing thun-
der along the whole front, and air
raids and thrusts by the infantry
have been working great destruction
In the enemy territory.
Raids Are Successful.
Last nights infantry raids are ex-
amples of the work being done, much
OF which is never published to the
outside world. English and Scottish
regiments about midnight conducted
three successful raids. East of Cav
relle several prisoners were taken and
a large number of the enemy killed.
Five big dugouts were bombed to
pieces and two saps destroyed. A
similar success was achieved south of
Arras. several dugouts being demol-
ished and a number of trench mortar
emplacements wrecked, besides other
damage done.
The British air service still main
tains supremacy and the big air raid,
ing machines have been doing vast
damage. One of the spectacular in
cidents occurred yesterday when a
British plane dispersed 1000 enemy
infantry by turning its machine gun
on the men along one of the highways.

on the side of democracy.
II do not care to engage in any
| hair-splittings, although there seems
to be much discussion as to whether
this war Is being waged to make the
world safe for democracy or to make
democracy safe for the world or
course it was meant by the president
when he spoke of making the world
safe for democracy of making it safe
for real democracy.
Liberty Not License.
I'VE all know that liberty Is not
license, nor democracy demagogy. We
know the world cannot be made safe
for murder and arson and pillage and
anarchy and everything for which the
syndicalist and the l. w. WIS may
stand; and we know such things as
these cannot be made safe for the
world.
Democracy means the rule of the
people under whatever form of gov
ernment they may choose to express
It, but when once the rule of the peo-
pie has been expressed, through their
chosen representatives. then-and
particularly in the hour of war
however much any of us may think
that certain of the policies are mis-
taken policies, free speech, free press
and liberty of conscience do not justi-

unintentional, invariably gives aid and
comfort to the enemy.
Not to BE Debated Now.
"Conscription as a principle may be
a subject of debate, but not now. This
democracy has adopted it for the
purposes of this war and discussion
of it ought to be held in allegiance.

resentatives, has declared war If
there be any who think it is not justi-

shall possess the right to make peace

New York, Sept. 17.--Vice Presi-
dent Marshall, speaking here tonight
at golden jubilee celebration of Scot
tish Rite Masons, urged deeper sense
of American obligation in the war. In
the belief that the United States never
could become involved in European
politics, he said, the question of dual
citizenship was not raised until the
war, in spite of the great tide Of i'm
migration.
mo one ever doubted the loyalty
to the flag of all these people, wheth-
er foreign born or the sons of foreign
born" said the vice president. "Our
isolation made it immaterial to us
whether there was any difference be-
tween loyalty and patriotism and we
did not face the question until it be-
came of moment.
Action of Mad Monarch.
"The years drew us closer and
closer to Europe in the ties of COM
merce and in the friendly relations
of travel. More and more we became
a part of the world; and suddenly
mad monarch, drunk with military
power and crazed with the idea that
he was divinely ordained to rule the
world, plunged Europe into a war so
awful that all wars which had pre-
ceded it passed into insignificance
"Still we stood by our ancient ideas
of isolation, but in two years and
half we discovered that there was a
vast difference between loyalty and
patriotism.
Blood Sympathy shown.
'The hearts of men famed up very
largely in response to the blood that
flowed in their veins Patriotism

With the British Armies In France
and Belgium, Sept. II (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-There must always
be periods of comparative" quiet,
when big spectacular offensives are
lacking on the great fighting fronts.
The recent days have constituted one
of these periods along the British
lines in the western theater and to
the outside world, reading the COM
mander-in-chief's laconic there is
nothing of Importance to report" or
a brief account of seemingly inconse-
quential raids, 1t may appear that hos
tilities virtually have ceased.
War Is Incessant.
But this conclusion is far from
right, for the grim business of war
continues perpetually. Hourly, the
big British guns hurl their thousands
of tons of metal. carrying death and
destruction into the German defenses;
day and night great squadrons of
aviators guide their machines over
the German lines and dump their
cargoes of high explosives on import
ant positions and continually small,
bodies of British infantry are reach
ing out into the German trenches and
snatching back prisoners, after play
ing havoc with bombs among the
dugouts and mortar emplacements.
Advantage With Allies.
OF course there Is retaliation by
the enemy, but the advantage rests
with the entente allies In this constant
hammering process. 1t is the steady
dropping of water which Is wearing
away the stone.
The terrible toll of death being ex-
acted from the enemy ranks by the
artillery and the continual drainage
OF their war supplies by the destruc-
tion caused by shells and bombs are
having their effect. The German wall
of defense is still strong, but 1t Is
weaker than it was, and soon or later
must crumble, If the allied method of
wearing down Is continued. It needs
