1t would seem that when every

war, would be increased to supply the
beet tonnage equal to the existing fac

Expensive Lesson.

Since we Americans have made it
our business to consume about 4,500,-
900 tons of sugar per annum we should
make it the nations business to pro-
duce most, if not all of the sugar we
consume.
What continental Europe did con-
tinental America should do.
Little more than rs years ago total
worlds production of sugar was about
1,150,O00 tons, $4,000 of which was
produced from beets.
When the present war began, the
worlds production of sugar was about
100000 approximately 9,000,-
900 of which Except 100000 tons pro-
duced from beets grown on American
soiD was produced from sugar beets
raised in Europe and Russia.
Here is a wonderful picture of the
old worlds progress industrially and
agriculturally in contrast with that of
the new world in this particular i'm
portant commodity.

Allies Will Batter
Enemy All Winter
To Prevent Succor

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Oct. %
(By The Associated Press). Unless
they are saved by their plea for peace,
the Germans will be subjected to
teady hammering along ne greater
part of the Western front throughout
the winter. Indications are that it is
not dntended to give them d breath
ing spell, Notwithstanding weather CON
ultlonS.
1t is pointed out that decreased activ-
ity would enable the Germans TO re-
cuperate to such a degree as TO make
certain pro .ongaton Of the struggle.
During previous winters the enemy has
been abe to rest up his torces and
replenish his supplies, espocio ly am
muni ion, and there Is no reason to be
lieve he would not avail himself OF
the same opportunity now, a',. TO q
much greater advantage.
There are two places on the front
where it is conceded that military oper-
ations during the winter Will be Writ
ually impossible, but American of
ficers insist Chat rs per cent of the
front offers no real obstacle to con-
tnuance of the fight. 1t is net ques-
toned that operations will be slowed
down, but, even so, the advantages will
be with the attacking side, especially
since it is known that German material
is growing scarcer.
Last winter was much more severe
than is ordinarily the case and those
responsible for plans Of campaign cal
culate that, by th law of average, the
coming winter will be milder. It is in
dicated that the Americans are settled
indefinitely into their present positions
and their part in the gen eral pro-
gramme is we'll defined.
1t is to be expected that Jhey Will

between the American front and the

The interest of ''peace Of Justice"

victory" as Chancellor Prince Max
has Just been telling The German
public. 1t is an unavoidable tribute
to the victorious strategy of Mar
shall Foch.
In order to reap the full fruits
of the breaking of the Scheldt line.
Foch began an offensive yesterday
east Of Solesmes and lie Cateau
against the pendant to the Scheldt
position, connecting Nalenciennes
with the German armies to the
south. The objective of this oper-
alton is lie Quesnoy, ten miles
southeast Of Valenciennes, on the
railroad running to Avesncs and
Hlrson. lie Quesnoy lies on the
northern side Of the Forest of Nor
nal. Foch aims at enveloping this
obstacle on the north By pushing.
past lie Quesnoy, and at enveloping
it on the south by driving down the
Valley Of the Sambrc River to Aul-
noye. Aulnoyc is the junction point
OF the Nalenciennes- Hirson railroad
ana ihe lie Cateau- Maubcuge rail
road. Once it is reached the Ger
man forces now east Of lie Cateau
Will have TO go back to the Mons
Maubeuge-Hirson line, and all this
section of Northeastern France will
be redeemed.
In yesterdays attack the British
reached Romeries early in the fore
noon, taking 1000 prisoners. This
town lies five miles southwest Of
lie Quesnoy and two miles north
east OF Solesmes. Only a short ad
vance is now necessary in this re-
glon to bring Maubeuge under long
distance artillery fire.

ciennes was occupied yesterday by
the British forces, after some lively
rearguard street fighting. TO the
north of this city practically all of
the big bend Of the river around the
Forest of Raismes has been cleared
by The British Fifth Army.
This army, which began to APP

was the one commanded by Cough
last March. It was broken and

dortf offensive west from st. Quen-
tin. 1t was apparently reinforced

the German retreat from the Lys

OF De Goutte's army from the Marnc

and account in part for tie very
rapid progress which has been made
IL the last three or four weeks on
that long relatively ouiescent sector
of the Western front.
The British Fifth and Second ar
. mics have now reached the Scheldt
at many points between Valen
ciennes and Journal and be-
tween Journal and Oudenarde. The
French and Belgians, having fur
ther to go to reach the Schedt. are
approaching it at Ghent, which, ac
cordlng to unofficial reports, the
Germans are already preparing to
cVacuatc. West Of Ghent the AL
he'd forces have crossed the Canal
de Derivation de la Lys-an artiti-
cial waterway running from the
Lys, southwest of Antwerp, to 4
point on the Belgian coast a little
east Of Zeebrugge. The distance
due west from Ghent to this canal
is only five miles.
A recent issue of the "Frankfur-
ter Zeitung" contained a statement
evidently inspired, to the effect that
1t is mot to Germany's interest TO
make slow defensive retreat from
Belgium" and that fighting there
will not be unnecessarily prolonged
single day" This announcement
harmonizes with the policy outlined
IN Baron Won Lancken's letter to
Cardinal MERCER, promising the re-
lease of Belgian political prisoners
and the return of Belgian civilians
deported to Germany.
Military prudence and political
interest coincide in counSelling a
German retirement from Belgium.
If Ludendortf had felt able to de-
fend Belgium Germany would never
have asked for an armistice. The
Germans are therefore trying to
make a virtue Of a plain military
necessity. The evacuation of Bel
