HUNS take MORE
CARE OF THEIR
CANNON FODDER
(By Review Leased wire)

President Wilson, in a message TO
congress that is regarded as one OF
the most momentous declarations in
Am srican history, again has enunciat-
ed, but more strongly than before,
Americas purpose in the war.
He also asked congress TO declare
war ON Austria-Hungary, the chief al
ly of Germany, but failed to include
in his request Turkey and Bulgaria.
Germany's other allies. declaring that
were mere tools. and do not yet
stand in the direct path OF our neces-
sary action"
The president re-asserted that Ger
man power as now constituted must
be crushed and that then, when the
German people have spokesmen whose
word can be believer. I'VE shall be
willing and glad to pay the full price
for peace and pay it ungrudgingly."
Let there be no misunderstanding.
the president said. Our present and
immediate task is to win the war and
nothing shall turn us aside from it un-
till it is accomplished. Every power
and resource we possess, whether of
men, OF money, or of materials, is be-
ing devoted and will continue to be
devoted, to that purpose until ii is
achieved"
Germans Getting Cautious.
The Germans apparently have ceas-
ed the reckless expenditure of lives
of their troops in trying to blot out
the Cambria salient held by General
Byng's forces. After four days of on
slaughts that have been characterized
as equalling any previously witnessed
during the war, only the artillery now
is engaged. Although the Germans
claim the capture OF more than 5000
British prisoners and more than 100
guns( reports from the British war
office and from correspondents indi-
cate that the German loss in men kill
ed, wounded or made prisoner was
terrible price to pay for the very small
recovery OF lost terrain.
While it is expected that further at
tacks will be delivered on the Cambria
sector, which is a salient vitality men,
acing to the important railroad juno
ton of Cambria, the British troops are
declared now TO be in better position
to offer stronger resistance than here
tofore.
Artillery Still Active.
AS yet the anticipated renewal by
the Austro-Germans of their infantry
attacks on a large scale against the
Italians on the Venetian front has not
materialized. The enemy artillery,
however, continues active from the
Asiago plateau eastward toward the
headwaters of the Piave river On
the Trentino front an enemy attack
which was prepared for by a heavy
bombardment met with repulse. Alang
the Piave valley the Italians again
have dispersed Austrian bodies con-
solidating for attacks.
No Change at Palestine.
in Palestine the battle between the
Turks and the British for the posses
sion of Jerusalem has not begun.
Taken all in all, there is no change
in the situation in this region, al
though General Allenby's forces have
carried out small offensives in the ma
ture of raids and killed or captured
the occupants of Turkish trenches.
The Russian general staff head
quarters on the northern front has
been captured by the Bolsheviki
troops under Ensign Krylenko. The
headquarters capituiated without fight
ing. but General Dukhonin, the COM
mander-in-chief, who declined recently
to carry out the orders of the Bolshe
Wiki to negotiate an armistice with the
Germans, was thrown from a train by
Bolsheviki troops and killed.
