CONCENTRATE ON RUSSIA

Increased peril to the So
called Hindenburg line Of
the Germans in northern
France, running through
Cambria, st. Quentin, La
Fere and Laon, is indicated
by today's Paris official
statement.
The French are continu-
ing their strong pressure
from st. Quentin, to the
Aisne and have driven
through to the Disc river, di:
rectly north of La Fere, at
at some points. Apparently
they have gained control Of
the high ground in this re-
gion and are able to COM
mand the city with their
guns.
That the Germans are despairing of
holding La Fere, a key-point in the
new line. was indicated by last night s
announcement that they had opened
the sluice gate and flooded the city.
The new French advance to the Disc
can hardly fail to make the place still
more difficult to hold.
Outfiankina Threatened.
Further urocress Also has been made
by the French further to the south
east. on the east bank Of the Athletic
river west Of Laon. where the Ger
mans, while still falling back toward
their new line. are apparently offer
ing q stiff resistance. Paris military
here, where the left end Of the German
line at st. Gobain is threatened with
outf1anking.
Last reports from the British end of
the line also indicated strong German
resistance. but recorded also further
advances for General Haig's forces,
notably in the region southeast of
Arras.
Plan Drive On Russians.
In part. at least. the German re-
tirement from France may be explain
ed by an official statement Of the new
Russian war ministry in which 1t Is
announced that the Germans are con-
centrating great quantities OF muni-
tions. supplies and, men on the north
ern end of the Russian front. A Teu-
tonic offensive in the near future in
this important but long neglected war
area is thus indicated.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, who
is credited with establishing the new
line in the west is classed as believer
in the theory that a decision In the
war can best be gained by a campaign
on the eastern front against Russia.
Meanwhile the Russian provisional

ure of the submarine war will soon
show that he was right. but 1t will be
too late.
The people he fears most are the
anti militarists. anti Prussians, liberal
Republicans who want the reichstag
to be based on universal suffrage. That
is why Wilhelm is so anxious 20 con-
vince the nation that he did not want
war. All his protestations are made
to appease the liberals and his famish-
ed and ruined subjects whose mur-
murings are growing stronger. He
wants to continue popular at any price
and that is why he spoke the first
word of peace. The people were CRATE
ful for it. but the submarine war came
and spoiled everything.
1T is hard to realize how this
emperor, who enjoyed a popularity un-
exampled in our epoch. suffers in his
pride. He alone perhaps in Germany
knows the whole truth since he alone
has In his possession the elements for
forming a judgment on the situation
as a whole. How can he resist morally
and physically under such q strain
certainly he hopes some time. but
less and less for the success or the
unrestricted submarine war which he
opposed. He sees the isolation OF
Germany become more and more COM
plete.
"Once he tried to initiate peace
negotiations and failed. To try again
would be to admit and proclaim to the
whole world. but above all to the Ger
man people which he fears most. Ger
