With Nivelle's Armies in Northern
France, March 2S.-The brilliant sue
cess of the French troops south of the
Disc in capturing the entire lower for
est of Coucy, the important village Of
Coucy-le- Chateau and the neighboring
positions is the crowning achievement
of a clever and audacious maneuvre by
the French command.
When the French attachments
crossed the Aillette River at the be-
ginning Of last week they found them
selves stopped on the right bank of the
stream by series of formidable in
trenchments prepared by the enemy be-
fore his retreat. French forces. dur
ing repeated incursions, also discov-
cred the strength of the German posi-
tions in the lower forest of Coucy.
Turning Movement Wins
To have attacked these from in front
would have resulted in sanguinary and
useless sacrifices. Therefore the French
General Staff resolved TO turn the posi-
ton.
But before reaching Il from the
south it was necessary to hold solldly
the southern banks Of the Disc. This
was a most delicate operation. The
Germans, feeling the menace of the
French advance, chung desperately 70
their positions dominating the north
ern part of the forest, and counter at
tackled furiously, trying to drive the
French back toward Chauny, on the
other side Of the Disc.
After hard fighting the Germans had
the advantage for tho moment, but, on
the morning of the 22d, a vigorous
French offensive reestablished the stu
alton, and the Germans retreated be-
yond Sinceny. The maneuvre con-
ceived by the French command could
then be executed in complete security.
While continuing to repulse the
enemy on the road south of the Disc,
the French forces operating north OF
the forest progressed rapidly, captur-
ing the villages of Amigny and Rouy
and pushing on in the direction OF
Servais. The French contingents, hav-
ing crossed the Athletic, near Champs,
worked themselves into the southern
part of the forest and attained Folem-
bray.
Forced Back in Centre
This rapid advance of the two wings
forced the Germans 20 retreat IN the
centre, which they did only after a
violent combat with French advance de-
tachmants near Epinette. Completely
defeated, they fell back on Barisis, and
from that time on the entire northern

Cheering War News.

No one can read the dispatches in this
mornings paper without concluding that
prospects of early victory are brighten
ing. Both the French and the Italians
appear to have pressed the enemy Sc
verely. From all accounts Austria nears
the breaking point, and if she does not
get peace in one way is likely to seek 1t
in another, with Germany only little
behind in the endeavor. And the Russian
mission which is visiting our city to-day
brings with it tidings of encouragement
on the eastern front.
Altogether it looks as if we shall have
victory that will be worth something.
if we only hold on little longer. Why.
then, acknowledge a draw" and so in
vite an early renewal of hostilitiess This
question might as well be settled first
as last, and we are in fair way to do.
ing just that now, Germany forced this
war on the world, as a part of the ag-
gressive policies of her militarist leaders
in consonance with their widely pro-
claimed philosophy. Its complete repu-
diation, by the only test which the Pots
dam crowd respects--that of might
should be the outcome of present strug-
gle. To that desirable end we seem near

Traitors All.

Treason masquerades through the
country in dozen different forms. Some
of it is disguised as Sim Fem prop
uganda, some as Socialist, some as l. w.
W., some as pacifst; but all of it is es-
sentially German. All of its champions
are doing the kaiser's work. Their trea-
sonable demonstrations are conducted in
public meetings, in newspapers, in circu-
lars and in a general campaign against
the war policies of the United States,
without interference in most cases from
the police or the federal authorities.
How long the American people, with
their easy going tolerance, will allow
these reasonable activities to continue
is conjectural. Some day there will be a
great disaster, due wholly or in part to
traitors, and then we shall suddenly see
different attitude on the part of the
public.
OF all these scoundrels, perhaps the
most infamous are tho of foreign birth
who come to the United States TO escape
political and religious oppression. Their
treachery to the republic is unspeakable
and their crime defes defnition.-New
York World.

HoOvER'S FOOD SURVEY.

The nationwide food survey, author
lied under the first of the food laws re-
Gently enacted by Congress, to be started
Immediately by the agricultural depart
ment, savors a bit of the Prussian sys-
tenn of food regulation, which has been
in vogue in Germany since the beginning
of the war. The census will cover 100
items of food, which include supplies on
the farms, in warehouses and stores and
the stocks in family kitchens Eighteen
of the principal articles of diet will be
surveyed in as short a time as is posi-
BILE through the cooperation of $4,000
picked employees of the bureau of crop
estimates. Census of the remaining ar
ticles will follow and all will be record.
ed as on Aug. 81.
Director Hoover is to have nothing TO
do with the taking of the census. but
when it has been completed he will have
free use of the estimates and thus will
be enabled to proceed with plans of con-
servstion without hesitancy To many
people Hoover is a calamitist and thew
feel thoroughly convinced that he is
painting things much blacker than they
are. HOOver's remarks and suggestions
are not to be taken in this way, as these
people may very well learn II they con
tinue to ignore them.
For two and q half years. Mr.. Hoover
was in charge Of the American relief
work in Belgium and, as everyone knows. |
that was a task for more than an ordi- |
nary man. The experience gained there
is invaluable 10 the director in his new
JOB, and he is giving 70 this country at

the present time a good deal OF inc
knowledge he gained in Belgium. Not TO
| listen TO him is TO make his task harder
and to decrease the momentum behind
the plans of the allies. For Hoover is
not merely figuring out how the United
States can manage to feed itself during
the possible existence of the war; he is
doing far more. He is cognizant with
produce conditions in the allied countries
and is planning on a surplus in the Unit.
ed States TO take care Of those of our
allies who shall need help. He is looking
ahead and is warding off every possible
chance of calamity that may threaten
the food supply of the entente and her
allies. And in this way he is helping,
with the organized support of every man,
woman and child in this country not
called to the front, to bring this war to
as early and as decisive an end as pos.
sible.
The task of taking the food census
will be difficult one and any antago-
nism to the scheme, whether because of
a distrust Of Herbert Hoover and his
work or fear that it is inviting Prus-
sianism to do as the Germans do, should
be shaken off II you are called upon
to help the census takers it is your
duty as citizen of the United States to
give as full and as careful information
as you can. If you are neglectful you
stamp yourself as traitor to the cause
Of the allies.

CURRENT COMMENT

The grade crossing collisions between
automobiles and locomotives are bring
ing more terrible toll this year than
ever before. The new stories in The
Reformer yesterday told of an accident
at North Charlestown, N. H., in which
four persons were killed and of an
other smash at Saybrook Junction,
Conn, where only one little MANNED
survivor remained out of the nine people
in big touring car. Accidents of this
kind can always be avoided by the ex-
ercise of small degree of caution. The
one at North Charlestown was an un-
usual exhibition of carelessness, the car be-
ing driven upon one track and stopped
while freight train was passing on
the other track.-Bennington Banner.

Encouraging stories of the work o.
American aviators at the front are be
ginning to come back. The department
of aviation is new and important one
in the present methods of fighting and
before she is done with this war America
must supply great many machines and
men for this branch of the service Sc
it is well that there is already a group
of American birdmen in France who can
form nucleus for greatly enlarged
and reinvigorated air corps.

WORKING TOGETHER NOW.


Activities along the several fronts in.
dictate that the entente and her allies
are at last pulling together. In the same
days accounts we now read of progress
in all quarters, the German troops at
best holding their own. The great often.
sive of the Italians from the region of
the Tolmino TO the head of the Adriatic
sea is pushing on despite stubborn resist
ance and difficult terrain. The Brit
ish and French divisions in Belgium have
made still further advance and have
been able to hold territory won in the
recent fighting in the face of terrific
counter-attacks. On the eastern front
near the port of Riga on the Baltic and
to the southeast in the vicinity of
Dvinsk and in the region of Brody and
Tsrnopol in northeastern Calieia the Rus
SLAMS have thus far successfully held up
the German offensive recently begun
The Rumanians, too, are bravely hold
ing their positions against great odds.
With good luck and a delay in the
approach of severe winter weather the
allies should be able to clench positions
by this fall that will give them decid-
ed advantage when the spring campaigns
shall open. Successes on the western,
Italian, and eastern fronts simultane-
ously will also prove extremely discon-
certing to the German forces and should
further decrease the already failing
hopes of the German people. The COM
ing of winter allows the United States
opportunity to get better set before
launching into the actual fighting and
likewise will allow the allies to shift
their forces in comparative safety to
make room for the forces from the
States. Things are indeed looking bet
ter but it is not yet time to begin to
crow and far less to relax in prepare
lions for vigorous fighting that is still
to be done.
