They Are Selling Bones
For Food In England

Over in England at the height of the
meat shortage and before the populace
was put on rations. they sold bones at
the rate of five pounds for one shilling.
Policemen regulated long lines of peo-
pie patiently standing on the side walks,
waiting. not for their favorite matinee
idol to pass. but for chance to enter
a food shop and buy small quantity of
food 1t takes about three minutes for
the shop keepers to dress their windows
over there. merely because there are,
perhaps, but few cans of condensed
milk and box or two of corned beef
to be displayed.

ENEMY PRESS BLAMES
TRAITORS FOR DEFEAT
Most Papers Relegate News of Entente Offensive Sec
ondary Places-Others Attempt to Hint
at Serious Situation

The Eosssche Zeitung thinks "Malvy,

esting study than Hindenburg's retreat
and consgns its fearful critic to an out
of-the-way corner The Berliner Tage-
blatt Is nightly concerned with What
Is happening in South Africa" and the
Deutsche Tages Zeitung can find nothing
more appropriate as the first news of
the day than the usual daily report of
the Admiralty on the U-boat bag.
But some of the papers do make an
attempt to face the serious situation
with some approach to reality. The
Frankfurter Zeitung sweeps roughly
aside all of the constantly reiterated
nonsense about the hopelessness of the
Ententes waiting for American help and
about Fochs wholly exhausted reserves
by referring to the use of American
troops in great masses" and by admit
ting that the French commander has

pagn.
"Foch wishes to queer that plan by
wrenching from Hindenburg those
trumps which the German commander
has in his hands-the reserves for n con.
tinuance of the offensive" And having
said so. it goes on to admit Foch's sue
cess by admitting that "to meet Foch's
offensive has undoubtedly cost us some
of our reserves. and the fighting al
Rheims apparently has not involved &C
many enemy divisions as was generally
believed"

speaking at a meeting Saturday to COM
memorate the Belgian National Fete
Day, said in part:
Germans tell US. and I hope in this
respect that they tell us truly. that
the war is not going to be prolonged
one and that peace negotiations are
visible now above the horizon I do
not associate myself with prophecies one
way or the other.
"All I say is that, when the time
comes that Europe has to consider
around a council table how to protect
itself against a repetition Of the horrors
and denominations for Which Germany
has been responsible, it will be impossi-
BILE for European statesmen to forget
that a German promise is not binding
contract
The peace of the world rests upon
frail foundations indeed If it rests on
nothing more solid than a German COM
pact. That. again 1 agree, is a most
important fact which we cannot and
ought not to attempt to forget.
Surely the crowning insult has been
leveled against Belgium by the German
Chancellor in his last speech. He then
told the world--the German world in
the first place and the listening nations
in the second place--that. Germany did
not propose to keep Belgium forever.
but that Germany did intend to use Bel
GUM as a pawn. The word pawn ought
not to be unfamiliar to the German
Chancellor. for it has been used in con-
nection with future peace arrangements
both by President Wilson and by the
German Chancellor himself on pre-
vious memorable occas sion.

German defeat.

of German plans to commit despicable

! The most striking features of the
news which has come in during the
| last twenty-four hours are the large
number Of guns captured and the re.
treat Of the Germans over the Marine.
! If my memory serves me. 400 guns
| is the largest number taken by the
| Allies in any one offensive. The next
highest total was over 257 at Arras in
Arril, 1917. while we and the French
| together at Arras and in the Cham
paCne took 430 in that month.
When we remember the months of
preparation expended upon those two
attacks and the very large forces
employed. we get some sort of stand
ard hv which to iIdge of the extent
of the success of FoCh's surprise blow.
There can be no surer sign that
our Allies were prepared for the Crown
Princes attack and that he was un-
nrepared for theirs than that they lost
no Guns, while he lost 400. for both
we and the Germans have long ar-
cepted the fact that in the face Of
the tremendous artillery bomhardment
which heralds modern battle, some
loss of ground is inevitable.
Therefore. when II is known that the
enemy Is preparing an attack. for
ward trenches are held lightly by out.
posts which fall back before his onset
to battle positions in the rear and
guns are withdrawn behind these.
The Germans adopted some such
system during the Paschendaele
battles of last year and after the first
attack we captured few guns.
Foe Paid for Neglect
Foch adopted this system to meet
the Crown Princes attack. for which
he was fully prepared. and he has
lost no guns at all, while the Crown
Prince. having neglected the posi-.
biIity Of an assault upon his right
flank. had not withdrawn his guns
from their forward positions. and he
has paid for that neglect by the loss
of great numbers.
As another and final proof of the
completeness of the surprise, we now
learn that the enemy were actually In
process of reorganizing their forces on
the front which Mangin attacked,
when the blow fell, and this prob.
ably accounts for ,he fact that they
have not been successful in organizing
counter.attaCks to save the vital rail-.
way lines through scissors.
That the Germans would be forced
to withdraw over the Marne had been
regarded as very probable contin'
gency ever since the news came in
that the French were firmly estab.
lished on the heights to the south or
the river, and could shell them at
will. The claim that the withdrawal
was made without attracting the no
tice of their enemies was probablI
/ true, for there is nothing new in such
/ occurrence.
We withdrew unobserved by thu
Germans from a very awkward situa
ton at the close of the second battle
of Ypres. and again last year after
the German counter-attack on Cam
brai. The Germans played the same
/ game very effectively against us wher
they fell back to the Hindenburg lin,
al the beginning of 1917.
