The selection OF Arthur J. Balfour
as head of the British mission to visit
the United States in the interests of
cooperation in the war, Is supposed
to be extremely pleasing to the United
States. 1t is conceded that no man
of greater experience could have been
chosen for the work. Mr.. Balfour has
been prime minister of England, lead
er Of the house of commons, first
lord of the admiralty and is now min
lister fer foreign affairs. He was at
the head of the admiralty in the coali-
ton cabinet formed during the war
and since the ministerial revolution
engineered by Prime Minister Lloyd
George has been in charge of the con-
duct of foreign relations.
Mr.. Balfour will be able to give
President Wilson a complete express
sion of the wishes of the British gov
eminent with regard to what it desires
the United States to do in the work
of bringing the war against the Ger
man government to a successful con-
clusion. 1t is taken for granted here
that Mr. Balfour will have ready a
number of suggestions for co-opera-
ton between the two nations, and
possibly for formulating a program
Of action to be carried out by all the
allies.

HINDENBURG line
RESEMBLES sieve
British Tear Great Gaps in
Famous German DefenSes

Great holes are being driven in the
famous Hindenburg line by the Brit
ish in their powerful offensive
through Lens to st. Quentin.
Having cleared vimy ridge, the
northern pivot of the line, and taken
Monchy lie Preux. a key point to the
southeast OF Arras, compelling the
Germans to look backward for an
other line on which to make q stand
against the impetuous attacks, the
British have gained an important
section Of the front. 81,
Today's official report from Lon
don tells Of notable victory by an
assault on this sector of the line.
along a, nine-mile front. Position af-
ter position was taken by General
Haig's force on this front between
Hargicourt. eight miles northwest of
st. Quentin. to Metz-en- Couture, ten
miles southwest of Cambria.
It was in this region that the Ger
man retirement of last month took
place. According to the Germans.
the retirement was to have delayed
any contemplated British offensive for
weeks, If not months Nevertheless,
the British have evidently been able
to organize their communications and
bring up their guns in the devastated
territory and to deliver a smashing
and effective blow within a compare
lively few days.
While the British were hating mo-
mentarily on the northern end of the
line to consolidate their gains and
move up their artillery and mean
while attacking in the center, the
French chose the opportunity to make
sharp thrust south of st. Quentin.
Their attack was delivered this morn
ing and its success is recorded in the
Paris official statement which re-
counts the capture of several lines
of trenches between the Somme and
the st. Quentin railway against des-
perate German resistance.
General Nivelle's troops also have
kept up their offensive movement
south of the Disc, making further
progress of Coucy Ia willie.
