Matter and Foroe.

There Is no such thing as loss Of
matter or force. The so called "con.
servntion" Of matter and Its forces was
demonstrated years ago by Joule and
other scientists. When, for instance,
a thing "burns up" as we say, the sub
stances that give out the light and
heat are changed, not destroyed. The
wood or whatever the substance hap,
pens to be becomes ashes and gas, and
If we could gather up all the products
Of the burning we should find that they
had not lost particle of their weight
and that the form Of them only was
changed. The eternity Of matter was
O teaching Of the old Greek philiso-
piers, or Of some Of them at least, and
the modern teaching Of the conserva.
ton or indestructibiltty Of the STUFF of
the universe would seem to corroborate
the ancient idea.

the Germans by heavy attack In the
region Of Moulin de Laffaux, gained d
footing in French firstline trenches

advanced detachments were compelled
to withdraw on the occasion Of the
enemy's attack against Infantry HILL

Heavy lighting is in progress on the
Aisne front. Here The French are
entrenched In favorable positions af
ter their advances In the spring. The
Germans apparently have been heavily
reinforced in this sector by men
brought from the Russian front. One
such division was sent into the fight
directly after It's arrival, making an
attack between the Allette river and
the Laffaux mill.

Wednesday, Nov. 2S.-Details have
been officially received Of one of the
most sanguinary fights in the north
ern zone, in which two Austrian
Hungarian regiments fought each 9TH
er until they we're almost exterminat-

the Italians.
The enemy advanced from the two
flanks and toward night a regiment
of Hungarian CZechs became engaged
with a regiment of Galician Poles,
both wearing different uniform and
speaking a different dialect. The rifle
fire was followed by bayonet charge
and then a hand-tO-hand struggle with
grenades lasting through the night.
until the two regiments were olsen
tangled after heavy losses, when il
became known that they belonged to
the same side.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-Every po-

come a part of the great machine
organized for building the national
army. under war department plans
announced today by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. Postal authorities
also will play an active part in help
ing to carry out the new regulations
and the department believes that with
the aid of these agencies. local exemp-
ticE boards will be greatly assisted in
registering the men and getting them
to the training camps as they are call
ed.
Police throughout the nation will
be instructed to take into custody men
who fail to report for physical exam
ination or who violate any of the new
rules and regulations. They also will
be charged to arrest and deliver to
camps men who have been inducted
into the military service by the local
boards and who fan to entrain for
mobilization. Such men are classed
under military law as deserters and
rewards of SIS will be paid for their
arrest and delivery at the camps.
All the elaborate machinery of the
postoffice department will be used to
see that questionnaires are delivered
to the men and are returned by them
within the seven days time limit allow
ed for filling them out. Postal Off
cials also have been instructed by
President Wilson and Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson to cooperate to the full
est extent with the local boards in de-
hvering and forwarding notices to
registrants. particularly notices of en-
trainment. as failure TO respond to this
classes the registrant as a deserter.

tions but that an adequate food sup
ply for the coming year was available.
Considerable supplies of grain for
making bread have been provided by
early threshing. The imperial grain
bureau has already received 1.00O,55O
tons as compared with 100000 tons
last year. The potato crop may be
regarded as satisfactory-almos as
a good one, and we count upon having
"a 500. 600 tons. Distribution will be
carried out much more efficiently than
in recent years. The same quantity
of sugar as formerly can be delivered"
Herr Won Waldow said that bread
and potatoes would form the basis of

Question of Var
Policy May Be
Reopened, Claim,
By Review Leased Wire,

LONDON. Nov. 29.-The strongest
impetus % a renewal. of the heated dis
crssi0n OF the rival schools on the war
policy of the allies was provoked today
from most unexpected quarter by the
publication of lonE letter from the
Marquis OF Iansdowne. strongly plead
ing for Il revision OF the allies war
aims and an attemp to secure peace
before he prolongation of the war
leads TO the ruin ri the civilized
world"
The Marquis Of Lapsdowne is a typi-
cal representative o. the old Tory par
ty. He was a me4lber of Asquith's
coalition administration and was secre-
tary for foreign affairs in Lord Sails
bury's and Mr. Balfopr's ministries. He
was viceroy of India and governor gen.
eral of Canada. He was the last pub
lie man - be suspected Of pacifist .en-
denotes.
His letter gives formal adhesion to
President Wilson's policy OF a League
of Nations, and he asks:
What will be the value of the bless
ings OF peace to nations so exhausted
that they can scarcely stretch forth a
hand 20 grasp them
Lord Lansdowne contends that an
immediate stimulus probably would be
given TO the peace party in Germany
If it were understood
First that the annihilation OF Ger
many as great power was not desir-
ed; second, that we do not seek % i'm
pose upon the German people a form
OF government against their choice.
third, that except as a legitimate war
measure we do not desire to deny to
Germany her place among he great
commercial countries; fourth, that we
are prepared after the war, in concert
with other powers, TO examine the IN
ternational problems connected with
the freedom OF the seas; fifth, that we
are prepared 20 enter into an interna-
tional pact under which ample oppor-
tunities would be afforded for the set
tlement of international disputes by
peaceful means"
Lansdowne's long and intimate con-
nection with foreign affairs and diDlo-
macy lends unusual authority TO such
pronouncementia at The moment Of
the meeting of the inter-allied confer
ence at Paris and because Of Clemen-
ceaus recent declaration against a
league OF nations including Germany
and already there are indications OF
emDittered controversy over IT,
1t is au-horitativeb' announced that
the government had no previous
knowledge of the letter and the strong
est supporters of the government in
the evening press suggest that the let
ter is very unwelcome to the govern
ment
The Evening News demurs against
Lansdowne's suggestions on The
ground that Germany's word cannot be
trusted in any matter and that an at
tempt TO argue with her would be a
sheer waste of time
TheAsquith papers hail the let ,er as
one OF the most remarkable documents
that the war has produced. the Star
greeting 5he letter as the most formid |
able attack yet made On the LLOYD |
Georgian knockout blow policy"
The matter has created quite a SEN I
sation in the lobbies of parliament and
1t is understood will be the subject of
discussion in the house at an early I
da.e.
