be smashed. Where will the blow fallf
Perhaps upon that sector where the
American troops are now established.
But that is fully twice as far from Paris
as tho point at which the German lines
arc nearest the French capital, above
Scissors. Fully 13O miles intervene be-
tween the sector above Toul, where our
men are now in action, and Paris. If
the latter city is to be the objective
of the grand assault von Hindcnburg IS
more likely to strike at the point where
the line makes its bend, above Scissors.
But speculation on this matter Is idle.
Won HindcnburR himself may not know
just where he will aim his drive. 1t suf-
fees that this is only "traveler's tale, i"
and that it indicates, in addition to a
suggestion of Prussian military conf
dence, which has been heretofore bit
terly disappointed-at the Marine in
1914, in the Calais drive in 1915 and at
Verdun in 1916-it indicates desperate
economic situation in Germany.

Germany's Conscience Awakening.

Apparently the German strikes have
ceased, suppressed by the application of
Sruthlessness." This was to have been
expected. Indeed. there was reason to
hope that this outburst of public dis.
content with the German military pro-
gram would not succeed in forcing. a
modification of the policies at Berlin.
For the time is not ripe for the revolt
Of the German people that is expected
D some quarters to prove the deciding
4Actor for peace. Evidently only small
percentage Of the Germans are yet aware
e& the true nature Of tho contest. The
mass Of ths people arc still uninformed
md unen1ightened. Not until the Ger
mans AZ whole realize the hopeiessness
cf tho governments effort, the mon
strousness Of tho war, ths utter selfish
ness Of tho aims Of those who have led
Germany into this cataclysm viii there
be sufficient reaction to bring lasting
peace.

The Session and Speed.

Something in substance like this Is
heard in this town:
Congress has been in session two
months. And yet little has been
dome. A few supply bills passed hy
al lie House, and few questions incon-
elusiyclv discussed by the Senate, com
rose the record. The weightv matters
are as yet untouched, or are just coming
on to he heard The solons must wake
up, or We shah get nowhere. When the
thing Will be chaotic"
As matter of fact, the session, prop
crly considered. is only month old.
December is hardly to be counted A
fortnight was devoted to preliminaries,
and fortnight TO the Christmas holi-
days. Congress did not get busy until
after the holidays. Fair progress has
been made since then.
But even if greater speed is necessary
now as 4 general proposition. there are
measures which should be exempted from.
measure is ono. The House committee
and the Senate committee are ready to
report. Both committees favor placing
n time limit on government control
Both the President and Secretary Ne
Adoo oppose limit. There is much
matter for consideration in that differ
ence of opinion; and ii should be de
veloped by open debate. Government
control IS a war measure, and the public
has approved ii as such. But govern
mont ownership and operation should
not grow ont of that unless, and until,
the public approves; and congressional
debate viii serve the purpose of devel-
oping the theme The question is one
of tremendous importance.
OF great Importance also is the meas
ure establishing war finance corpora
ton and providing for a large issue of
short term notes for financing private
industries during the wars continuance.
The subject is new. and shonld be fully
explained Hurried action intended to
prevent disaster might lead to dis
aster-at least to embarrassment.
AT time when money in enormous
quantities for many things is necessary
@ard being provided, all requests for
, large grants should be thoroughly un-
derstood.
While speed is most desirable, it
should be calculated with the utmost
care in all matters touching funda-
mentals. or introducing new lines Of
governmental activity. The war is fore
ing many changes; and, for US, the war
may have just begun. No man may say
how long it will last, or what new OBJ
legations of the money kind or other
kinds will be imposed on US while it
does last. Unregulated speed in legis-
1ation. therefore, might entail great con-
fusion and rs great trouble

Sweet clover will grow on all soils

condition and approached the table at
which Windham and his wife were
seated. He is alleged to have address,
