In the childless home the married

ance, the bringing of still more neu-
trails into the war of destruction
against US, certainly also plays a part
in the development of their plans.
Meanwhile, however, they are doing
their best TO obtain direct successes.
One cannot doubt that their great at
tacks in Flanders, at Verdun and along
the Isonzo aim at victory in the field,
and are expected to have farreaching
results.
"The English have achieved least so
far. With establishment we mark that
their army, which is said to be millions
strong, has been unable to attack on a
wider front. When We heard of the
English preparations in Flanders and
saw the artillery battle raging over the
German trenches in July, it was as
sumed that it was intended to extend
the fighting to Arras to give scope to
the English superiority in overwhelm-
ing pressure. Finally, however, on July
81, they only attacked on sixteen-mile
front and collapsed the next day. The
new attack on August 10 was only on a
five-mile front, and on the 18th they
sent four Canadian divisions into an

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-It was ru.

that the United States. before the close

British government certain possessions
in Central or Southern America.
No confirmation of the rumor could
be obtained. II was not believed Bri.

but Jamaica was said to be held by
England at loss. and this island
would afford better base for the pro.
lection of the Panama Canal than the

be induced to dispose of some OF her
