At the beginning of the week the
Germans, finding they could not make
much progress toward Bethune, at
the south part Of their salient, because
of the stubborn resistance of the Brit
ish at Glvenchy, Festubert and LOGON,
turned to the north and undertook to
flank Ypres by driving the British
from the Bailleul-Neuve Eglise, Wul-
northumberland line. For two
days the attacks of the Huns were
beaten back with fearful slaughter,
but then Field Marshal Haig was COM
PEELED to give ground and retired from
part of the famous Messlnes ridge, at
the same time drawing his lines nearer
to Ypres. There was still higher
ground at his rear, however, and his
generals and men displayed cheerful
optimism that contrasted with the de-
preston caused in England and, to
considerable extent. in America by
what looked like serious reverses.
Not for minute did the men who are
doing the fighting admit that they
were beaten or could be beaten by any
forces Hindenhurg could bring against
them, and though the Hun, when he
had taken Ballleul was within "a
miles of Dunkirk, they still had no idea
of permitting him to force his way to
the coast
In the effort TO reach the La Bassee
canal and take Hazebrouck, the enemy
after intense artillery preparation, at
tackled along the front from Meteren
to Robecq, hut was repulsed at almost
every point and sustained heavy
losses. The allied artillery was espe-
cially effective here and east of Be
thune and the Germans found II al
most impossible to bring up their
transport trains.
On Thursday the enemy resumed
his attacks I'm the Bethune region,
throwing a number of light bridges
across La Bassee canal near LOGON.
These were swept away by the British
artillery and machine-gun fire and
large numbers Of Germans were killed.
Again and again the Germans re-
newed the attack, using more than
125,000 fresh troops on the 12-mile
front between 81. Venant and Given
chy, but each time they were thrown
back with appalling Losses. French
infantry and batteries co-operated
with Haig's forces.

Since II is still evident that "ships
will win the war" and that America
must supply most of the ships, our
national shipbuilding agencies were
recognized last week for the fifth
time and Charles M. Schwab. chair

mony with him, directing the organi-
Zation necessary to carry ont his

step was shown by the official an
nouncement Of the change which
said: "The carrying forward Of the
construction work in the 100 ship
yards now In operation Is so bad that
II requires a Reinforcement Of the
shipbuiding organization throughout
the country" The determination 70
speed up shipbuilding was evidenced
by the warming issued by Mr.. Hurley
that delinquent plants will be taken
over by the government unless they
show decided improvement.

Any hope that the relations between
Germany and Austria-Hungary might
be disrupted by the exposure of EN-
peror Charles letter concerning peace

as firm supporter of the policy Of n

their assigned positions, and the news
that more and more of them were be-
ing hurried across the Atlantic was
greeted with enthusiasm by the Brit
ish and French officers and men. They
are needed and needed quickly. for the
allied commanders, though believing
their lines cannot be broken, know the
enemy is still very strong, and I'M
doubtedly is gathering his strength for
further tremendous efforts. While he
well might be held by the allied forces
now there. he can only be crushed and
driven back when they have been
greatly REINFORCED by The boys from
America.
Moreover the commanders of the
allies say no greater mistake could be
made than to think this is the final
battle. Even If II can be called de-
cisive, 1t is absolutely essential that
the United States send over all its men
as quickly as possible, that all possible
eventuallties may he faced and the
right kind of victory ultimately en-

NC
That this is the view of Secretary
of War Baker also is made plain in
his report to the president, made on
his return last week from Europe. In
sentence this was that the United
States must furnish the strength that
will crush Germany, and must furnish
II at once. IF Mr.. Baker ever thought
the war was $1,000 miles away" his
trip abroad has cured him Of that de-
fusion. There is now no warmer ad-
vocate Of the policy of giving force,
precision and rapidity to American nc
tivitles, and on his own behalf and
that Of his department he pledged bet
ter results in hurrying men and NUM-
tons to the fighting front
AS for the American troops now in
France, Mr.. Baker had nothing but
praise for their condition and their
military qualities. They have made
good in every way, he said. Those
same troops during the week had OPP
portunity to show the stuff they were
made of, for several times the Ger
mans made fierce attacks in the Toul
sector. Each time they were repulsed,
and the Yankees went into the fray
with JOY that did the hearts of their
officers good. Their bravery. GOODNESS

Turning TO the east, we find the parts

WASHINGTON, Nov l5.-While
the world peace conference will be
delayed another month, this govern
ment and the allies are working on
the details at the home capitals and
through the supreme council at
Versailles.
Probably within ten days the adj

make all necessary arrangements as
to Wire and cable facilities for handling
the news Of the great session and
sending it throughout the world.
The United States for some months
has been concentrating suggestions
through Col E. NJ House and his
aids.
Careful study has been made with
respect to the peace adjustments
and needs in the near east where
new nations have arisen out of long
oppression and oppositions to demo-
cratic power. The safeguarding of
these viii lbe one Of the chief ques-
tions to be considered.

Press dispatches indicate that con
stitutional changes are in effect in
Germany now an1sthat steps are un-
der way for the forming Of a stable
government.
The main question is whether or
not any particular government will
stand at this time.
More than twenty-five nations have
right. to places at the peace table,
but these will not have an equal
voice in the session. On the con-
trary, France, England, the United
States and Italy will have the main
