Seii. lie opeidlioH was qui'c the ooi"@
as the British operation north of Lille to-
day. By November l of last year the
British and French were close to Ba-
paume and Peronne, just as now the Brit
ish are approaching Roulers and Menin.
Retreat to Meuse Likely
The threat to the Noyon salient last
year produced the great German retreat
of this spring, retreat from all the Ger
man lines between Arras and Noyon,
which was expanded by reason Of the
French attacks at the Aisne and the Brit
ish victory at Arras. Now, when the
British get Roulers and Menin the peril
tc the Germans east and west of the wedge
will be unmstakable, and before the Brit
ish reach Courtrai, half dozen miles east
and down stream from Menin, the Ger
mans will have to clear out Of the Lille
salient.
A German withdrawal from Lille would
mean the evacuation of all French terri
tory between Verdun and Lille-that is, all
French territory west Of the Meuse-and
such an evacuation would be wholly an
alogous to the retreat from the Noyon
salient last spring. Actually the whole
German position from Lille to Verdun is
great salient, many times larger than
the Noyon salient, but not otherwise diff
fering from it, and the British attack at
Ypres this year corresponds exactly with
the Anglo-French attack at the Somn.c
last year.
Lille is the anchorage of the whole Ger
man line from Switzerland to the Elan
ders front, It's forts, partially dismantled.
its railroads and highways give 1t very
great value 1t cannot be attacked with
cut certain destruction, and it is one OF
the great cities of France. But once the
Germans are out Of it, their next good
line is from Antwerp to Namur, covering
Brussels, and thence behind the Meuse
right down to the hills they hold on the
east bank of the Mouse below Verdun. II
Lille is lost, then, although there may be
temporary halt behind the Scheldt from
/ Journal north. to hold the Zeebrugge
base. the Germans will have to retire to
the Antwerp-B russels-Verdun line with
| little delay.
This, as / see it, is the larger and the
real meaning of the British thrust in
Flanders, which is moving down the Lys
Valley toward Menin, with Client as
remoter objective, and also toward Rou-
! lers, with Bruges as a similar goal. Long
before the line of Bruges-Ghent is reached
1 the Germans will be behind the Scheldt
and the Mouse. Whether the British will
reach Menin and Roulers this year or not
depends almost wholly on the weather,
but as this has turned bad there are some
doubts in all minds now as to the future
of this years operations. But, bad weather
and all, the British have been moving at
rate of something like mile week for
the last month, rate far swifter than
anything they achieved at the Somme.
With a little luck they may yet get to
Menin this fall; anyway, they should get
as near to that town as they did to Ba-
paume last year, and as they approach
Menin their threat to the Lille position
will be quite as immediate as the threat
to the Noyon salient incident to British
advances at the Somme last autumn.

October, and the campaign of 1917 is draw
ing to a close without :. single considera-
bic German success or even a respectfully
impressive offensive East or West. In
1914 we had the Marne and the bid for
Calais; in 1915 the great Russian CAM
pagn and the push through Serbia; in
1916 the drive that wrecked Rumania and
destroyed all Allied hopes Of decision
last year. Everywhere on the Western
front where there has been action the
German line has gone back. Nowhere on
any front, save about Riga, has there
been anything like an attack; such gains
as were made in Galicia were due solely
to the collapse of the Russian armies.
Over the Crest of tho Hill
The Russian collapse has set free many
thousands of German troops for use in
the West; it has released many guns and
huge stocks of munitions, but with all
these the Germans have not been able TO
hold their own, much less attack. From
Verdun to the sea they have recoiled be-
fore each attack, and they are now recol-
ing on the anniversary of the opening Of
the First Battle of Ypres, which was TO
open the road to Calais. Germany ar
fected to believe Britain would never ar
rive in time. Britain has arrived and we
are coming. Meantime there has been
no German victory, and Germany, having
fought France and Russia for more than
two years, while Britain was preparing,
has now to face a relatively fresh Brit
ain. while still fourth foe, the United
States, is training her millions and equip
ping them.
Enthusiastically we are over the crest Of the
hill. Only weakness in spirit now, only the
failure Of those behind the front IN
France, Britain and the United States. can
nreyent the realization OF the fruits OF
the great sacrifices and the splendid devo-
ton of recent years. And unless there is
decisive military victory over Germany
the real goal will not be attained and the
work may have to be done again. The
German army must be decisively beaten
upon the battlefield, beaten so that its de-
feat will be obvious, first in Germany and
then elsewhere. Once this has been done
the end of the war will be within sight.
1t is not necessary to occupy Berlin or
cross the Rhine; but if the German
menace to civilization is to be abolished
t must be abolished by such an Allied VIC
tory as will strip the German military ma
chine of the last claim to invncibility, a
claim nowhere recognized now save in
Germany and among the faint hearts and
pro Germans in Allied countries.
The Somme deprived the Germans Of
the offensive in the West. The battles of
Arras and the Aisne this spring deprived
them of the power to attack on any front
on a considerable scale. The Ypres cam
paign has demonstrated Enthusiastically
German inferiority in the field and the
rapid decline alike of German numbers
and German morale. Their machine, the
great Prussian military machine, is slow
ly but surely going to pieces.

Sure Way To Get
 Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; ; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly. and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail
