EUROPEAN NEWS AND
VIEWS

London, Oct. 18.-Military experts
are not as confident that peace is
near as are the civilians OF the allied
nations. They believe, however, that
the great climax of the war is i'm
minent. Bad Z, weathers ie the only
thing that can help Germany. The
master blow which Foch rs nrrang-
ing will, it is predicted, extend along
the entire German lines from Belfort
to the sea. The question is whether
the German people will await the
coming catastrophe or seek the mer-
cy of the allies by getting rid, of the
HOhenzollerns and their despotic sys.
tenn.
In military circles President vii
sons statement that no armistice is
possible so long as enemy armies are
upon the soil of allied countries is
not taken to mean that any such evac-
uation of allied territory would be
carried out except under pressure of
the allied armies They believe that
the Germans will get back to their
own frontiers as best they can. Mill
tary men agree that Germanys ap,
peal for an armistice is due not only
to the fact that the military position
everywhere is bad, with eventual de-
feat certain, but also to the fact that
the German army on the western
front today cannot escape without
disaster from the desperate situation
into which Foch has manoeuyered it.
From the standpoint Of the army
leaders the best way of destroying the
military party of Germany is TO in
flict such a disaster upon the German
army as will utterly discredit the nil
itary party with the people OF Ger,
many As it has been reported that
both Ludendorff and Hindenbuts
have told the kaiser that a German
defeat is inevitable, it is not beyond
the probability that the Prussian mil
itarists, whose tradition it has been
to reckon with facts. may now bow
to facts and come to the conclusion
that the situation is irretrievable and
can only grow worse, if prolonged
Thus they may accept the logic OF
the situation in the form of an IN
conditional surrender. 1t will take
more defeats, however. to bring them
to this conclusion The HohenONern
monarchy is now threatened with i
crisis such as it has never known be
fore 1t faces the anger of a weary
and desperate people and its word
has been broken too often.
If the allies take Ostend and Zee
brugge, which they are planning to
do in the near future, it will be a ter
rible blow to Germany's' submarine
warfare. Allied success in this di,
rection will mean that the Germans
will have to Oparate their submarines
with Bremen, Emden and the Keil
canal as bases. This will require the
use of the cruiser U-bOats simply be
cause of the increased distance the
vessels will have to travel. The al
ditiOn of two new ports for war ship
ping will be of immense value to the
British. Whatever damage the Ger
mans may do in the harbOrs when
they quit taer' " II - mended swift,
ly. If Ostend and Zeebrugge long
pointed to the heart of England, they
will be made TO point as threatening
to the heart of Germany Their cap
ture will mean concentration of sub
marine chasers in the North Sea.

MY Dear One: | am writing this
very, very small and on the thinnest
of 3 paper SO that tightly folded, = it
may slip into one of the olive drab
pockets of your new uniform without
encroaching for the tiniest part of an
inch upon all the new things that you
must have there-the passports and
Identification slips and photographs,
the lists and, numbers and names and
ciphers, the address book and the
thin manual you have been studying
so hard, and the slim little Bible, for
this letter is a part of your equipment
too, or at least | like to think it is.
I'm going to tell you in it just one
or two of the things we've been try
ing not to say in these last days.
You've maryeled greatly, haven't you
that / could say goodbye with dry
eyes and talk about what We should
do when the war is over. My dear,
there is n0thing-nothing that can
happen to you that | haven't fore
seen in every detail since May, since
the very beginning of it all. | know
that some OF our men are not going 10
come back. | know as | write this IL
the room you love that your fingers
may tumble for this little piece Of p.-,
per IN some dreadful hour, a month
or two months or six months from
now, just to read it over once more
for the last time. just to feel in your
fingers cut there in a shell-lighted bat
tleGeld something that ! have touched
for goodbye
And thinking of all this for almost
"a year while you've been getting
rea1y to go I've been getting ready
to stay Just as you planned l plan
ned, and | said to myself; When the
time comes for US to part l shall
make him a promise" Dear one, this
is my promise, and l make it for the
term of your own-"for the duration
Of the present war"
| promise you that while you are
away whether it is months or years,
nothing except what l can give you
and give all others shall fill my life.
| promise you that | shall devote ny
self here in safety, to the work OF
making what you do easier and strong
er and safer for you. l promise you
that l shall give-give and give-fOr
the cause! Not the money | can
spare, not the time | have left when
everything else is done, but all the
money. all the time, all the energy
have
Your whole life has been altered,
has been set to sterner and graver
music So shall mine be. You will
know self-denials, privation and fati-
que while the war lasts. So ] shall
know them. Even if black news
comes, even if the blacklist comes,
shall remember that against your
brave heart this promise is resting,
and | shall go on And while there
is one man among our million and
among millions of our allies who need
clothing and nursing and comfort and
solace, for your sake l shall not fail
him
Perhaps in Gods goodness this note
will come safely back to me in the
olive drab pocket, and we will smile
over it together. But remember until
that hour comes | shall be always
busy filling my own place in the great
machine Of mercy and as truly under
the colors ever here as you over
there. Cos bless Kathleen

QUOTA BASIS
REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE JUNE
1 RECEIVED-BOARD NOTI-
FLED OF BOTH.

Let us not burst the buttons from
our clothes in excitement over the re-
port that this county is to induct 900
men into the army at one time on or
Immediately following June "a. The
local board is in receipt of a notice
from the governor announcing the
quota basis and the current quotas
for Lake county, beginning June /,
according to a new law effective at
that date. From regulations for the
determination Of quotas they find
that the 900 men mentioned in Gov.
Norbeck's notice is the current quota,
available or June /, and will be
drawn upon from time to time for
induction as called by the president.
The quota basis is that whole num-
listed for limited service, detectives,
discharged and indicted men. The
current quota is estimated at 80 per
cent Of the available ones in the
quota basis.
The report that 200 were to be
called caused considerable unneces-
sary conversation on the street.
Many, accustomed to d~iscrediting
reasonable news, stoutly maintained
that this was the Interpretation of
the report. If it were true, the rail
roads of the country would be re-
quired to move something like o.
SOC, 900 men in a few days, and
camps would have to be in readiness
for this number.
The local board today designated
Clayton L. Bast and Emory A. Jordan
to go to Camp Lewis, Wash, to fill
the vacancy left in the former call
by the disqualification of two of the
men. They are called to go We'd
nesday.

ECLIPSE OF sun
EARTH, sun AND MOON GET IN
LINE PARTLY VISIBLE
HERE AND SOUTH.

The earth, sun and moon, in their
predetermined courses again come in
to line tomorrow afternoon shortly
after s o'clock with the earth in
shadow of the moon. AT Mad ison
the eclipse will not be complete, but
through smoked glasses 1T may be
seen that the moon obscures a bout
three-fourths of the suns disc Ii it
doesn't rain. The line of total eclipse
will begin in the northwest corner of
the United States, run southeasterly
and emerge at the southeastern cor
ner-from Washington to Florida.
The path Of total eclipse will average
nearly SIS miles in width. AS a par
tial eclipse it will be visible over the
whole country, and is the first time
since 1900 that such a phenomenon
has occurred which was visible in
this country, and will be the last un-
til 1923.
One would think that instead of
the shadow travelling across the coun-
try from west to east 1t would 60
across as other astronomical phe-
nomena do-from east to west. But
this shadow starts at the west coast
and travels against the usual prog
ress Of time and day and night, and
to those watching at the eastern edge
Of the country, the sun and moor set
in eclipse position. The cause for
the eastward progress OF the shadow

be of the war. These appearances by

tional, regardless of the ability of the

who have thus far appeared have had
very little to say of their personal
achievements, but their accounts of
what they saw brings out pictures
that home spellbinders fail to be able

is this: Suppose the earth to be sta
tionary, as it is with respect to this
particular event. The sun apparent
ly moves toward the west, and does
this once a day. The moon moves in
the same direction, but instead of
going as rapidly as does the sun, it
lags something like an hour every
day. Thus the sun oyertakes the
moon, is on the outside course, and
throws the shadow backward, If n
may use the expression, over the face
of the earth. And the shadow travels
tation of the earth itself is more than
equaled, and the shadow travels east.
Eclipses are always viewed with in
terest by scientists, and they often
make long trips with delicate and in
~tricate instruments to view them, If
possible taking up their positions on
high elevations of land in clearer at
mosphere. They measure the time
and one thing and another, and ar
rive at conclusions which they per-
haps understand. They do not tell
the ignorant public much of what
they find, it seems, and when they
do, as in the case of the scare they
threw into the reading world in the
case of Halley's comet, their threats
or promises are not true. But, with
all the space in which these bodies
have to move and the hurry they are
always in, it is possible for these
mathematical and astronomical
sharps to not only tell the day and
hour of an eclipse, but to tell just
the territory in which it will be
visible.
