ly instruct the different commands
to take such steps as would prevent
the occurrence OF similar delays in
tho future
Various questions were raised re-
lating to the delay which has taken
place in the delivery of parcels, es-
pecially to prisoners in the labor
camps throughout Germany and in
the occupied districts, This delay
appears to be largely attributed to
excessive censorship, some parcels
before reaching their destination
having been censored as often as
three times.
Gen. Friedrich explained that the
delays in the delivery of parcels at
the camps in Germany and the strict
censorship exercised on parcels was
due to the discovery in many cases of
articles OF sabotage, which had been
inolosed in parcels addressed to pris-
oners of war in Germany. He added
that the wishes Of the British dele
gates had already been met to GER
tain extent and the British delegates
having stated that they saw great OBJ
lection to such practices and strong
ly deprecated them, he suggested
that the British government should
publish in the British and especially
in the neutral press statement that
the including OF articles Of sabotage
in the parcels addressed to combataht
and civilian prisoners of war was de-
precated and disapproved by the in
terests of the whole body of prison
ers OF war.

Begins to See the End.

1t is rather significant that Melville
Z. Stone, head Of the Associated
Press, has for the first time express
ed himself publicly as being able to
see the signs Of crumbling German
powe..
Mr. Stone, BY vir1ue OF his unique
posltion as a mere surveyor OF news,
is perhaps better iitted than the best
editorial writer to form an opinion as
10 the outcome Of the war. SO when
he says that he can see indications
Of its end it is something to be re.
spectfully considered.
Mr., Stones statement was not Civ
en- Officially. but rather to a gathering
OF men assembled 10 honor distla-
guished guest in New York. yet he
would not have made such q state
ment without weighing it carefully
and unless IL grew out OF firmly es-
.abgished conviction.
u is also significant, however, that
the great news expert did not under
take to set . time up on his belief,
but merely referred TO an early" end
Of the war. The word is more COM
paratige than final.
EARLY might.be next spring or
next fall Compared with military
estimates, which run from one year
TO three as the probably duration OF
the great conflict, an end next fall
would be early.
Possibly sir. Stone merely meant
that at last there were plain aad sig
nlflcant indications that Germany's
war machine was showing signs of
weakness, and the statement was
made before Gen. Petains notable
drive on the Aisne, which has beer
called one of the most brilliant sue
cesses OF the war.
And yet, when one looks at the
map and sets down the important
but narrow strips Of territory recoy-
cred by the French and English with
in the year, comparing them with the
vide area of heavily fortified country
that still lies between the allies anu
the Rhine, it is clearly apparent that
such successes must come often and
necessarily if the Hun is to be driven
out OF France and Belgium, so that
the people OF Germany will hear the
mutter OF the machine guns and the
thunder OF the big pieces which will
bring realization of the fact that
the allies are at their doors
Then, and not before then, viii
there come a national realization in
Germany that peace at the terms OF
the allies is all they must expect.
We say this is a tremendous task,
and so it is, but, once the big war
machine Of vonHlndenburg begins to
cgumbls, 1t will be a bold and far-sce-
ing man who viii be able to tell how
fast the end will come II is within
the possibilities that it will come
nsxt year in rush Of pre-arranged
assaults with fresh American army
taking It's place on the line and aid
ing in such dashing work, but it will
not do to build on such expectations
We should rather prepare for the
slow, merciless attTition OF the artil
lery bombardments, the quick ruth
over the top when the enemy'a da.
fences have been shattered and the
setting forward of the line almost by
feet and inches az the lost ground OF
French and belgium is won back.
1t is r long way from the Aisne to
the Rhine but Haig and Petsin are
on their way, and once Pershing and
his Americans arc ready for such
aid as they must give, then, perhaps
we may cc1 7ently expect the end

topped his shot, hit on the top OF bunker
