Opinion Divided as to Date
When Great World Struggle

LONDON. Sept 6-Two currents Of
opinion in regard to the termination OF
the war are strongly marked here. Both
run in the same direction, so far as a
victorious ending is concerned. Where
they differ Is in respect TO the date at
which that desirable contamination can
be reached. One OF these views sees
the war end next year. The other
places the date in 1920. Argument
turns chiefly on two points: Whether
Grea, Britain's military effort can be
maintained and strengthened during the
months that still are prominent cam
pa,gning this year. and whether Amer
ica's great contribution OF the past lew
months can be carried on in undimin-
ished volume during the fall and win
ter.
Encouraged at March.
Given these two factors, the protag-
onis,s OF victory next year school be-
lieve that the enemy can so be ham
mered this year that his chances OF
waging a successful defense in the
spring and summer of 1919, when
Americas. weight will tell immeasur-
ably, will have been reduced to the
minimum
Gen. Peyton March's predictions OF
an early victory have given great en-
couragement to the holders OF the more
optimistic OF these two views here, but
they are not accepted without question
by others, who hold that il is possible
to underestimate the enemy's powers OF
resistance and equally possible to un.
derestimate the difficulties which still
confront the allies not only in a mill.

domains.
Generally speaking, the soldiers are
the chief exponents OF what may be
called a continued hammering policy,
with all that il implies in response to
the application Of man-power TO purely
military purposes. Also using a gen
eral classification, il is the civilian ele-

Side|ights on War Moves

great rapidity yesterday out of the
Somme country from Peronne TO

American forces at the strong German
positions northwest OF Scissors. The
wedge which captured the whole Sos-
sons plateau was a double edged tool.
II menaced the Germans in the bag be
tween Ham and Peronne on one side
and il imperiled the Huns between the
Chemn des Danes, the Aisne and the
Vesle on the other.
When the enemy finally decided to
turn tail in on the Vesle II was certain
that he must give up quickly the out
flanked country on the other side OF the
wedge, for, having accomplished one
purpose, Mangin stood ready with a
relieved flank to turn in behind Chauny

ment. So 10th big Developments of the

as resu.. & the stubborn spearhead,
driven into the very center toward Laon
by the French and Americans under
Mangin.
As the armies near the line on which
we expect a stand, the German hosts
show less fight and more elements Of
decentralization than in the earlier
stages Of the great battle. Both Brit
iSh and French captures in men are
much heavier in the later days OF the
retreat out OF the Marine wedge. Per-
haps this fact is due to the removal OF
big gun protection from the fields be

Hindenburg positions

serving six years and eight months
OF ten-year sentence for violation
Of the maritime laws. He was con-
victed IN the federal court of Maine
in 1911.
The charges on which Sanford was
convicted attracted nation n-wide at
tention. He was a Maine coast sea
captain, and became leader OF a re-
lgious sect known as the Holy Ghost

ony purchased a vessel and under
the leadership Of Sanford started on
voyage TO convert the world" and
form a Utoplan colony Somewhere
in Africa The boat, it was charged,
was not properly provisioned and
did not carry sufficient water for a
voyage OF great length. Sanford told
his flock the Lord would provide
their needs When upon the high
seas, however, several members OF
the party died. Sanford refused to
turn back, nevertheless, and it was
not until the vessel was spoken by
another snip that the conditions on
board became known. Sanford was
then forced 10 return TO an American
port where he was indicted and con-
yicted for putting to sea improperly

RECOMMENDS CITY TAX OF IA MILLS
Common Council Submits Budget Figures For Next Year Includes Pay Raise For Bremen and Policemen h. creases in Departments Largely Due to Labor Costs Expect Town to Pay City $400OO Instead of $1S,OOO For Proportion of Highway Work

In their last meeting with Mayor. Allyn L. Brown presiding, the com mon council recommended a 14 mill city tax for next year on Thursday evening. Last year the recommends ton was for tax of Is 1-4 mills, which the city meeting later cut to Is mills The statement was made by Alderman G. E. Dolbeare that were it not for increased expenses due to the higher costs of labor now, there would have been no need of making a rec ommendation any higher than last year, stating as an example that the increase of 30 cents per man per day which is to be granted to firemen and policemen alone required four -fifths of mill to raise it.
 The grand total of expenses as shown by the budget submitted was $1,0S5,- 62732, of which $SS1, ,6O644 is to> be met by estimated receipts, leaving $204, ,020.SS to be raised by a IA mill tax on the city grand list of $14,- 572, ,92O.
 The Committee on Finance consist ing of Mayor Allyn L. Brown, Alder man G. B. Dolbeare and Councilman w. H. Bowen presented it's estimate of the expenses of the City, during the year ending May 15, 1919, and of the receipts for the same period, as fol- | loWS:-
