LONDON, Dec. 15.-Thcre
is no use trying to camou-
flage the gravity of the sit
uation on the west front
the only war theater which,
I'm the last analysis, really
counts.
Today Premier Lloyd
Georges Friday speech at
Grays Inn was regarded rs "a
call To arms in IA present day
crisis.
The setback to British arms
at Cambrai has not only prac-
tically nullified Field Mar
shall Haig's splendidly con-
ceived and General Byng's
splendidly executed advance,
but il is generally admitted
the reverse marked the end
of the British offensive for
some time to come.
The initiative has now
passed to Hindcnburg.
The most competent ex-
perts predicted that only
the greatest efforts will pre-
vent the Germans from full
filling their boast to break
thru the allied line before
American participation can
equalizc the reinforcement Of
the German line from the
Russian front.
This reinforcement of the
enemy, made possible by the
cessation of fighting on the
east front, means u half mil
lion picked men to throw into
the assault against the allied
line before America can get
i'm.
Besides restoring to Hin
denburg his long-lOst initi-
alive, Gen. Byng's reverse
graphically demonstrates the
untruth of various widely
prevalent stories regarding
the enemy.
IL demonstrates the utter
absurdity of the story that
the morale of the Germans
is waning.
1t gives the lie to the con-
fidently circulated stories of
Germany's impending col
lapse.
Regardless of who is per-
sOnaliy responsible for the
Cambria reverse, the funda-
mental reason doubtless lies
in the fact that the whole
army has been permeated
with such spirit OF cock
sureness-if not Over-confi-
dence-that it had grown
careless.
Perhaps 1t was only the
natural result of an unin-
terrupted series of recent
British successes, combined
with the fact that the pres
ent army has never been COM
PEELED by hard necessity to
learn defensive tactics like
the Mons heroes, who are
now a mere handful in the
great war machine.
Considerably, there has
been the general develop
ment of a tendency to UNDER
estimate the enemy's capacity
for an offensive.
The fact remains that the
crisis is at hand and that the
public is being awakened to
realization of il. Practically
every London newspaper to-
day classed Premier Lloyd
Georges speech as a well
timed stimulant.

Why start with June g. 1915, you ask? Simple. On
that great day the teeth ripped of the pustce of the

tie. From that day justice of the peace no longer
had to turn into the county treasury the fee he received
for tying the wedding knot.

A citizen of Yazoo county enthusi-
astically endorses Mr.. o. F. Lawrence
editor of The Grenada Sentinel, for
the next Governor of the State. MIR.
Lawrence feels grateful for such hon.
orable mention, but declares he has
never entertained the remotest thot
of seeking gubernatorial honors.
There is no mistake as to the fact
that he would be good timber to work
with. He is a heightened honorable
gentleman, we'll worthy of any conf
dence that might be bestowed upon
him.
The above, taken from the West
Point Leader, we have no doubt, but
voices the sentiments of the brethren
of the State press. We have never
met Mr.. Lawrence personally, but
have taken great pleasure in reading
his good editorials in the Sentinel
weekly, and it is not difficult, judging
from these editorials, to understand
how he has gained such a reputation
that, without solicitation on his part,
he is mentioned in connection with
gubernatorial honors. Without dis
paragement to any of the other men,
bcrs of the State press we consider o.
F. Lawrence on of the ablest Edito-
rial writer's in the State. He in con-
rial writer's in the State. He iscon-
sentative, yet strong. and he never
'.tinches" when the other fellow OPP
poses him in an argument. The
press has heretofore been honored by
the election of one of its number to
the gubernatorial Office, and it maybe
that some people do not think the ex-
pertinent proved very beneficial to the
welfare of the State; but they must
remember he did not have the undivid
ed backing of his quill-driving breth-
rem. There is every reason to believe
that should the democrats settle up
on Mr.. Lawrence as the next govern
or, the people at large. as well as the
press, will have no cause for regret,
but will feel that they have done a
good work in RAINING him as the
standard bearer.-Sardis Reporter.
