bekA Great numbers of Germans
surrendered
The allies doubtless hope to cut in
between the submarine bases and the
main German army, but according TO
the belief of well-informed army men,
1t is not their intention to force the
Germans back over any very wide
area, because the territory they would
be forced to abandon would first be de-
vastated Rather do the allies plan to
demoralize the enemy with the contin-
uous bOmbardment by guns of all cali
bers to which they have been sub
jecting them of late, and most OF
Haig's advances are made for the pur-
pose of gaining possession of com
harding positions, from which this
terrific gunfire may be directed. That
the morale OF the German soldiers al
ready is beginning to break down Is
evidenced by their readiness to surren-
der and the complaints of some divi-
sions when ordered back to the front
after rest.

 They appeared before the commission yesterday morning and protested against the sliding scale license, which set a minimum license and provided for grad uated amounts in proportion to the 1n- come The dentists declared that they were entitled to just as much considera- tion as any other profession, and urged that the commission grant them the same privilege.
 In response, President George s. Ward stated that it would be agreeable to the commission, if the dentists would ap- point committee and frame schedule of licenses that would be satisfactory to them This having been done, they were assured that the commission would con sider 1t.
 Dr. J. Ross Snyder has notified the commission that the committee appointed to arrange the schedule for doctors would bring in it's report Monday morning.
 Though it has seemed that the 1917 license schedule had been acquiesced in hy all parties, the greater portion of yesterday was taken up with Birming- ham citizens seeking to have their licenses lowered. George B. Ward, as president cf the commission, has taken the stand that only in the most urgent cases VIII any change be made
