Immediate consideration was given
by the house at Washington to the

gap and between Metz and Strass-
burg is unmistakable. A stand at the
Meuse will be no more than an effort
to check pursuit, while the diplomatic
end of the German machine can make
terms which will save the military
branch from complete destruction.
The Germans are thus approaching
the last ditch, where they must stand,
if they are to prevent an invasion of
Germany at the point where they can
least resist invasion, namely, along
the Belgian frontier west of Aix-la-
Chapelle. Such an invasion would
meet next to no natural obstacles and
no military barrier in the way of
fortresses until it reached the Rhine
before Cologne. 1t would have an
open roadway to the great industrial
regions of the lower Rhine In a word
the Belgian frontieris the only fatally
weak spot in Germany's defensive ar
NOR.
If the Germans cannot rally at the
Meuse and hold that barrier, the pres
9nt campaign will go forward through
he winter and in all human proba-
)ility Marshal Foch will be on Ger
man soil and in Aix-la-Chapelle be-
fore Christmas. Surrender, a Sedan
or failure to hold the Mouse line,
these are the possibilities which the
German must now face Immediately.
But if he is able temporarily to hold
the Mouse line, then invasion from
the south in an early campaign of
1919, will, in any event, compel him
to draw his force back to the Rhine.
Meantime, we have to recognize
that unconditional surrender" may
now become military fact, before
German craftsmanship can accept it
as an unacceptable political necessity.

IN FLANDERS FIELD.


In Flanders Fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the
sky
The larks sing bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we
lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from falling hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to hold it high!
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppIes
grow
In Flanders Fields.

mediately begin intensive training
and finds the camp ripe for it. The

peace as the last thing in their minds.
The morale and appearance of the
draft troops at the camp is much
higher than among the troops a year
ago. The camp raised 100000 for
Liberty Bonds. Quarantine of infiu-
enza was lifted a week ago. The
camp is not free on the disease but
the peak of it has long passed.

ing of school principals and supervis-
ing principals yesterday in the Thorn
son School, to consider means Of fur
thering the home garden movement in

dens similar to those conducted in pre-
vious years.
Supt. Thurston emphasized the great
necessity for food production in the
canning season, and the importance of
the precedent expected to be set by the

CONSIDERING new Plan
FOR war PRODUCTION :
President Said to Be Much Con-
cerned Over Successor TO-
Daniel willard. /

President Wilson II understood to be
giving careful and deliberate considcr-
alton to the broad problems Of reorgana
isation OF the purchase. allotment and
production Of materials for prosecution.
Of the war.
This consideration OF the problem
from all angles is the reason for hold
ing up the appointment of a successor
to Daniel willard as chairman of the
war industries board.
Now that the agitation over the cons
gressional proposals for a munitions
director and a war cabinet has waned.
the President is expected to announce
the result OF his deliberations soon.
There have been persistent rurnoro
that Bernard NJ. Baruch will be named
head Of the War Industries Board as
it. will be reconstructed under the new
administrative plan being worked out
by the President There has been no
official intimation of such a selection.
Edward R Stettinius also has been
suggested as a posi- sibilfty. Some OF his
associates with the Council of National
Defense strongly urge him for the
position.
1t is believed the Presidents plan
will constitute the War Industries
Board a central purchasing agency.
leaving undisturbed those bureaus OF
departments which already are per-
forming efficiently. and that special
steps will be taken to empower the
War Industries Board to stimulate pro-
duction in those fields where there 10
