Paris, Oct. 8.-These are days of
glory for Field Marshal Haig's troops
and disastrous ones for the Germans.
The enemy Is shattered and unnerved
and the German losses in dead and
wounded are such as to constitute
terrible lesson. Four thousand five
hundred of their best fighters. who
were massed to attack the British,
are now prisoners.
Thus defeat overlook the enemy at
the psychological moment and in such
a way as to make the blow doubly
staggering. One Havas correspondent
the British gains. saying
"Since Thursday all the line of
heights dominating the Ypres basin
from warneton to Broodseinde is in
our hands. Instead Of being domi-

overlook and dominate the plain OF
Menin and Roulers. Broodseinde is
the crest of the key position, sixty
metres above the sea, and the high
est point of the Passchendaele Ridge"

Against Capitol Punishment.
(Buffalo Fnouirer.)

H..
President Fallieres of France is
committing all death penalties to life
imprisonment, and where there is any
doubt of the mans guilt he pardons
him. He says: France must learn to
take care Of her criminals without
killing them" It's poor use to make
OF a man--tO take his lifeAit is an
acknowledgment Of our inefflciency.
Even a life sentence should hold out
to the man the promise that 20 years
of good behavior and useful work will
make him free man. Penology must
be made a science to the end, that
when we inprison a man we do it for
his own GOOD a sort of compulsory
education. which the man has neg
lected, or never had the opportunity
to get, with the intent Of turning out
better man than we took in. Just as
long as the state sets the example of
killing it's enemies, individuals will
occasionally kill theirs.

Little Thing Like Separation Didn't
Bother Army Lieutenant.

New York, Oct. 8.--After vainly
trying for more than three years to
obtain a leave Of absence long enough
to marry. Lieut.. James O. Taylor.
One Hundred and Sixty-Seventh In
fantry, U. s. A., now at Camp Mills,
solved the difficulty Sept. 20. The
facts did not become public until yes
terday, when the bride arrived at the
camp.
Mrs. Taylor was Miss Ruby r.
Knight of cambridge, Ga. She was
willing to wed any day, but the
lieutenant just couldn't get the time.
When the war broke out he was sent
to China. From there he was trans
ferred to California, thence to Texas,
and finally was sent to Camp Mills on
Long Island with an Alabama regi-
ment. 1t began to look as though
he would have to wait until peace
was declared.
firing OF the delay, the Lieutenant
decided to marry by telephone. So
he took Lieut.. Arthur Humphrey, his
best man, to the telephone exchange
in Hampstead and by arrangement
Miss Knight and her maid Of honor
met the Rev. John. Shers at the ex-
change in cambridge. The connec-
ton was made and all were given re-
ceivers so that they could listen In"
The clergyman read the ceremony,
the bride and groom gave the re-
quired answers and in fifteen minutes
the two were pronounced man and
wife. The tolls were $25.
The bride met her husband yester-
day few minutes before the review
Of the Rainbow division. At the close
of the review the couple left for this
city for twentytfour hours honey

IT Is not proof that the war has
wears to run, that the United States is
making preparation on a large SCALE
The government must prepare for a
long war, even If 1t expects a short
one. Where there is no certain as
surance of peace, it would be worse
than folly to conduct preparation as
if peace had already arrived.
There has been, in the peace pro-
posals that have come more or less in
formally from the various nations, an
element Of likeness which is hopeful
Russia, and the United States, Ger
many and Austria have indicated a
willingness to make terms on the
basis of no forcible annexation and
no indemnities.
The Allies have assented to the pro-
posals of Mr.. Wilson. There remains
to be accomplished one thing. Ger

sponsible to the German people. for it
is only with the German people this

Mr. Wilson has not defined in pre-
else terms his conception Of respon-
sible government In Germany. 1t
would certainly be government in
which the Hohenzollerns were not,
with the iunkers and the war chiefs,
the actual dominant power. But
whether government by the people
would be sufficiently established by
the adoption Of a ministry responsible
to the Reichstag, or whether it's con-
ditions make a responsible govern
ment impossible in Germany. as long
as the Hohenzo1lerns rule, has not
been declared. Whether Germany
has at any time a government so un-

that the Allies can deal with it is a
matter to be determined by the par
