 That drive embraced considerable territory south west of Cambrai where there is fighting in progress. Nothing regarding it has been mentioned in the dispatches of the week The British presun- ably still occupy it. unless they voluntarily aban- doned it. for it would constitute rather sharp and dangerous salient The German pressure is from the north. It has been describ- d attempt at turning movement and no doubt is such on a small scale. No army would attempt turning move ment unless it. at least, thought it had the initiative
 The department very properly the country that there is danger of the Germans being able to roll back the British and the French large scale It has not men enough for such an operation as that and could not throw enough upon the French front for such accomplishment unless it could suddenly abandon the entire front Nor have we ever had enough men to roll back the Ger mans; could only make dents in the Hndenburg line. All this talk about breaking, piercing and turn ing large scale has been misleading More than a year ago military experts state that the line could be broken by either side but must give way, if aII only under the process of long and constant hammerng-one side or the other in a state of haustion.
 So, there is no danger of the Germans overrun- ming France. The British and the French will be able to hold that line though they may suffer dsad- vantages until America is able to throw its full strength into the field. If they fail last with stand the hammering it will be because have not moved expeditiousy enough to their relief And the American people will not move nearly so exped- tously if they informed from high authority that there is really for alarm. If they are told the truth, however bitter it may be- the American people can be counted upon to move.

A Commercial Tyranny

The Republican Publicity Bureau keeps ham, mering at the democratic tariff which, however dis astrous it might have been (and it certainly would have been disastrous) and for years come will have about much ill good effect on business as last years birds nest.
 The latest issue by the bureau though graphically describes the hold the Germans secured upon us:
 There was German mark on this and German brand on that and German label on the other until a man didn't know whether he was in Buffalo or Bavaria. If he could raise enough loose change to buy his wife and kids stockings they came back with package from Chemn,tz. If he ate at home at all he polished German plate with the aid of German fork. Or if he down to the soup cart and wanted to see how long before it came around he found himself stared at through the jew elers window by a German clock. Finally, if in des- pair he took the carboic acid route he swallowed the German dope and they cared him to the pot ters' fiei- in coffin with German silver handles.
 If the situation was bad ,lat, if for other purpose than to free ourselves from com- mercial tyranny would have been warranted

In @ letter to pr. Charles J. Hatfield, executive commit teeman of the association, made pub- lie today, the president says:
 q am greatly interested in what you say about the very great increase in the demands made upon the anti-tu berculosis agencies of the country as a result of the circumstances of the war. The development of the anti tuberculosis movement under the lead ership of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- tion to me. At this time, when we are called upon to do our utmost to make the fighting forces of the United States the most efficient that human agency can produce, I cannot too strongly urge upon you and your as- sociates. as well as upon all the peo- pie of the United States, the increas- ing necessity for pressing still further the progress which has been made in the prevention of tuberculosis and other diseases. l am in thorough sym pathy with the efforts which you are making to raise s3.000,000 from the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals, and I hope that it will be possible for the people of the country to render support to this cause as generously as they have rendered it to other causes"

Material for the greatest romance Of national written is provided in the story of the industrial mobilization of the United States for the war It is true the laws under which this mobi- zation has been effected are limited the time of their operation The various organizations of govern ment built up to regulate and control the business of the war will remain in operation governmental institutions only until peace is declared Yet their effects beneficial and otherwise, will inevitably be present in American life for many years to come.
 During the past and a half months the Council of National Defense has worked wonders in mobIlzing the nations industries to assist in cutting the war; Side by side with the council, and really continuing in it's work, is the trade board which was brought into being restrict trading not only to protect the people the country from the pratical greed of individuals, but also to prevent trading with the enemy and to conserve our own for own The general scheme of industrial mobilization has extended to the point where the has fixed the selling prices of many commodities-a policy that is being worked farther and farther the necessity arises.
 Thus the government has secured a close and fast hold upon business and this is the mighty experi ment the war has made possible and which will be given but fair test. One result that will be pretty sure will be that for long time to pro- vinciaism will be erased from many lines of business activity in the United States Another is that American business will be awakened to a broader acquaintance with international trade Still another is that democracy in industry will be proved to be possible of achievement by cooperation, and to be good thing in business just democracy is a good thing in civil life From the of experiences it is safe to say that at the termination of the war there will be great and many objections to return in all respects to the business industrial status quo ante'

WHAT TT TAKES TO
 FEED MEN IN CAMP
(Detroit Free Press ]

When you say that eighty tons of food are required daily to ration the approximately 10000 units of the new national army going into camp now in each Of the sixteen cantonments scat tered over the country the figures roll glDly off your tongue. You knew that It required a lot of food to supply so many men and took it for granted that the daily menu at each of the camps total stupendous amount But when you sit down to figure it out in detail, to multiply one days grub for | each cantonment by sixteen canton- ments and many national guard, reg ular army, naval camps, ordnance schools and other military centers and then to multiply the whole by weeks, months and years, the figures begin to reach astounding proportions, and you wonder how Food Administrator Hoov- CT and his assistants are getting away with their job
 1 The average ration for a soldier amounts to four pounds a day, which means that about 160,000 pounds, or eighty tons. of food are necessary to the daily upkeep of each of the canton- ments. At that rate the sixteen can comments will consume nearly 1900 tons of food daily, close to 5000 tons weekly, approximately 40,00O tons monthly and 500,000 tons yearly. At the prevailing prices of foodstuffs you can thus get a staggering estimate of the cost of "eats' alone to Uncle Sam ln the world war If you care for fig ures and have an adding machine han 1 dy, you might go on and figure out how much food the 100000 fighting men now in arms under the Stars and Stripes are going to eat during the first year of our participation in the conflict Four pounds of food daily to a fight | ing force of 100000 fighting men means a total consumption of 5000 tons every twenty-four hours. Thus from sunrise to sunset the army and navy of your Uncle Sam eat their way through a mountain of food almost equivalent in weight to the displace- ment of the giant United States dread | nought Pennsylvania. Balanced in the scales against modern locomotives, the daily bill of fare of the boys either all ready lover there" or getting ready to "go over" would balance two of the Pacific type engines used on the Ches- apeake & Ohio.
 The amount of food required every thirty days at any one of the sixteen cantonments would fill to capacity a train of 100 box cars. Allowing 135 box cars to a rail mile, the train necessary to carry the food that our fighting sons Will consume in a year would stretch i. in a continuous line from Atlantic City to Boston.

EMMA GOLDMAN AND ALEX.
BERKMAN CONVICTED.
Two Years in Prison and $4,000 Fine
Imposed, With Probability of Being
DepOrted After the War.

Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman, anarchists, convicted in
New York Monday night of conspiracy
to obstruct operation of the selective
draft law, were at once taken to pris-
on, in the custody of federal marshals.
Berkman was taken to the federal
prison at Atlanta, Ga, and Miss Gold
man to the state penitentiary at JEFF
ferson City, Mo. Each was sentenced
by Federal Judge Mayer to the maxi
mum penalty of two years imprison-
ment and to nav fine of $4,000.
In addition to the severe sentence,
Miss Goldman and Berkman are liable
to be deported. Berkman is not a
citizen and Miss Goldman claims citi-
zenship only on her fathers applica-
tion.
The jury deliberated forty minutes,
and as they filed into the courtroom it
was expected, if the verdict was
against the prisoners a demonstration
would be made by many anarchists
present. There was no disorder, how
ever, and then Judge Mayer passed
sentence.
In sentencing the prisoners, Judge
Mayer said he regretted they had not
put their abilities to better use, since
they could have been "highly influenc-
ing elements in imparting knowledge
to the foreigners who come here"
The prisoners were in defiant mood
during their departure. Marshal Nc
Carthy permitted a few friends to tell
them goodbye.
