FACE CRISIS
IN WAR I ONE
ALLIED NATIONS AROUSED TO
THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUA-
TION IN THE WEST

Ed L. Keen, London Copy
right, 1917, by the United Press
There is no use trying to
canaflage the gravity Of the
situation of the allies on the west
front, the only war theater that
counts in the last analysis.
Premier Lloyd George regarded
this situation as a call to arms
in a crisis.
The British setback at CAM
brai not only nullifies Sir Doug
las Haig's and General Byng's
advance, but it admittedly marks
the end of the British offensive
for some time, the initiative
passing to Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg and his German
forces.
Hope for American Help
Experts predict that only the
greatest efforts will prevent the
German fulfillment of the boast
to break the allied line before
America can equalize the Ger
man reinforcement from the
Russian 'front.' The report that
the enemy's force is wanning is
absurd. Apparently the British
army is so confident that it is
careless and the public is just
awakening to the realization that
the crisis of the entire war is
near. VI. @1

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-a substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely

had been accounted for in testimony
offered up today in the court martial
of sixty-three negro soldiers, charged
with mutiny and murder.
The wounding of all those men,
toned as victims, also has been
accounted for. This does not mean,
however. that the blame has been
placed on any one Of the rioters.
Evidence grew today that the prose
cution is laying more stress on the
mutiny charge than on the murder
charge.

young men. These things make it
the natural medium for the welfare
work for the well soldiers in the

the immense responsibility-and it

OF Widest Possible Scope.

Catholics and protestants, Jews
and business men, all kinds of men
of high position, made thorough
investigation of the actual work of
the Red Triangle close to the
trenches and in the home canton
ments. Then they unanimously re-
solved, all Of them, that the best
medium for soldier welfare work is
the Y. M. G.. A.
That means that the Red Triangle
cause is the cause, not alone of the
old Y. M. c.. A. organization, but of
all humanity.
Anybody who refuses to subscribe
next week because of any idea of
denominationalism or other narrow
boundaries in this Red Triangle
movement should take another look
at the list of the leaders who are
going to spend next week raising
money for that same Red Triangle
cause here in Keokuk.
