still have a fresh army to use for q
counter blow. it stands a much bet
ter chance Of being effective. When
that blow comes. the most likely
1 place for it is between Montdidier
and Lassigny on the south flank OF
the German attack. The French al
ready have tested this part Of the
line, and made slight advance. No
great advance would be needed to
imperil a big body Of German troops.
Americans Move In.
| The week has seen big bodies Of
American troops going into action
Tuesday, dispatches told of mile
after mile" of American soldiers
marching toward the battle front.
Since then nothing has been heard
of them. and undoubtedly the censor
ship is very strict. Whether or not
they have been actively engaged as
yet, is not known. The fact that
they are to be brigaded with French
and British units. may delay reports
of their activities. On the other
parts Of the line being held by Am
ericans the identity of the forces has
not been lost.
News from all other war theaters,
while still eclipsed by the western
front. has been more favorable dur
ing the week. Russia is reported to
be organizing an army of 1,50O, ,OGO
men and to be considering universal
military training. One lengthy dis
patch to The New York World told
Of greatly changed conditions in Rus
sia. with a growing feeling of friend
illness toward the Allies and some
thing akin to shame at the detection
of Russia. The unrest in the Ukraine
over the seizures Of grain by the
Germans. is another favorable sign.
and these seizures have had to be en-
forced with artillery in some places.
The Armenians and Georgians have
organized an army and are putting
up a very effective resistance to. the
Turks in the Caucasus, which moye-
ment may aid materially the advance
of the British in Mesopotamia and
Palestine. which has been rapid and
uninterrupted The occupation of
Turkey in Asia is progressing at a
rapid rate. 1t is country Of
tremendous distances, but the Turk
ish army appears to be thoroughly
disorganized, and the British are
progressing as the Germans did in |
Russia.
Germany is compelled to utilize
considerable forces both in the
Ukraine and in Finland. Shocking
reports come from the latter coun- |
try of the inhuman lighting between |
the Germans and White Guards on 1
one side and the Red Guards on the
other. 1t is a fight where no quarter
is given, and the soldiers carry |
poison to take if captured. Several
Russian warships were sunk to save \
them from falling into German
hands, and despite the peace treaty
recently signed, there is good reason
to believe that Germany viii attempt
the capture Of the main fleet at
Kronstad as soon as the ice condi-
tions permit, Russia has already
protested the operations OF the Ger
man fleet as violation OF the
treaty.
Submarine figures for the week
showed a lull in the naval offensive
as well as that on land. The lowest
mark in two months was reached.
Today marks the anniversary of
the declaration Of a state Of war by
the United States.

LEGALLY OR oTHERwIsEa

II anything will prevent the repe-
tition Of the riot at ColIinsviIle and
the hanging of an alleged pro-Ger-
man, it will be the law now before
congress providing for severe pun
ishment for many forms of sedition
not now reached by law.
The country's evaporation with
disIoyalists has reached the stage of
action. With American soldiers in
action, loyal people at home are go
ing around with chips on their
shoulders. They are not going to
tolerate any semblance of disloyaIty;
any loose talk; any sneering refer
ences to the army, the government
or the flag. It is a dangerous mood,
and the outburst at CollinsviIle is
but an indication Of what may be
expected unless congress acts
promptly, and unless the law is rig
idly enforced.
The tar and feather parties and
the yellow paint parties have be-
come too numerous to be ignored,
and they give every indication Of be-
coming far more serious.
The affair at CollinsyiIle is not to
be condoned. IL was mob violence,
and especially distressing because
there is more or less evidence that
the victim was misjudged. But the
nation is in no condition OF mind for
trifiing with preachers of sedition.
1t has been patient and long suffer-
ing, but il is aroused to fever heat
now, and IL congress wants to avoid
more necktie parties 1t win pass the
law now before it, and the executive
branches Of the government viii see

The War for the Week

After four days Of comparative
quiet. the great battle or Picardy
fiared up again Thursday night. and
ragged furiously all day Friday, with
no material change in the situation.
Sunday and Monday Of the week
just closing. saw the end Of the first
stage of the battle. The Germans
were still attacking the British near
Albert and the French west of
Montdidier, but their attacks lacked
the vigor Of the earlier drives, and
were without the terrific artillery
support.
Tuesday found rain falling on the
battle zone. and the churned up
ground was turned into great mud
hole, greatly hampering the Germans
in bringing up their artillery.
Wednesday was another day Of quiet
for the infantry and another day of
rain. but Thursday night the bat
tie broke out again with determined
attacks around Albert and Montdidier,
and along the line between these two
points. The only gain made was in
the latter sector. where the Germans
advanced a few hundred yards. At
other points the attacks were beaten
back with very heavy losses. and the
French counter attacked in places
and won back ground which they
held against all onsIaughts.
Is Another Verdun.
The battle is now entering its Sec
ond stage, and 1T promises to be a
repetition of the battle Of Verdun on
q bigger scale. The immediate OBJ
iectfves of the Germans are TO drive
a wedge between the French and
British, to take Amiens. and to cut
the Paris-Amiens railroad. one Of the
important supply lines.
The capture of Amiens would be a
heavy, but not fatal blow. to the
Allies. 1t would greatly interfere with
the movement OF supplies. and might
even stretch the Allied line to such
an extent that a retirement to the
north and south would be forced to
prevent it breaking. But it is still a
long ten and a half miles TO Amiens,
and the allied defense has been stiff
fening with every yard that they fall
back. If the Germans take Amiens
it will be at the cost Of unheard Of
sacrifices in men.
Apparently they are trying to ef-
feet its capture by two methods. One
OF these is a direct drive. and the
other. the old plan of driving past
the object on both sides. and then
pinching out the salient. The at
taclzs at Albert and Montdidier have
been attempts to push through to the
north and south OF the city, but they
have been definitely checked. The
direct drive also has been stopped
despite the insignificant gain yes
terday. These efforts are likely to
continue for several days yet. Ger
many is committed to the attack, and
as yet has nothing to recompense her
for the terrible slaughter of her sol
diers. II she could capture Amiens,

evidence of victory.

THE PENTECosT OF OUR
YEAR OF WAR.

I
Just one year ago today
president Wilson affixed hi
signature to the declaration of
state of war existing with Ger
many.
One year ago Tuesday even
ing. President Wilson appeared
before a joint session o.
Congress and asked for such
declaration. He delivered wha'
was perhaps the most notable
speech in the history Of the ma
tion.
"To such a task we can
dedicate our lives and our
fortunes, everything that
we have, with the pride Of
those who know that the
day has come when America
is privileged TO spend her
blood and her might for the
principles that gave her
birth and happiness and the
peace which she has treas.
ured. God helping her, she
can do no other.
One year ago, cOmplacent
nation scarcely realized the i'm
mensity of the task that was
faced. The war was $1,000
miles away. Many even be-
lieved that America s part would
be merely to send ships and
money and supplies, and per-
haps a small army to "show our
good intentions. Others harb-
ored the cowardly thought that
the war would be over before
America really got into it. Some,
perhaps, figured that the moral
force" Of America would over
whelm the Hun.
1t has been a year of disillus-
iOnment and awakening.
The Uncle Sam of today is a
different figure from the one
who entered into the war some
what in the spirit of a pleasant
adventure.
He is lean and muscular where
he was fabby a year ago.
He is a little more nervous and
irritable perhaps, but nobody
can call him apathetic.
He has charged his mental and
moral standards, and his ideals
of success.
A year ago the man who could
pile up more dollars than his
fellow man, was acclaimed a sue
cess by him. Today, the man
who is thinking of dollars
arouses little but disgust.
Service has replaced the dol
lar as the emblem of success.
The mere capitalist today, Un-
less he has some other claim to
esteem, ranks a little lower than
the private soldier.
Idleness and luxury are no
longer envied, but despised.
The old cocksure Uncle Sam
has disappeared. The old blust-
or and boastfulness no longer
attach to him. He is more hum
bic, but more confident, for he
knows his strength and his
weakness.
The Uncle Sam of today is a
lean, clean Iimbed athlete,
trained to the minute, eager for
the contest, quiet but confident
and determined, close-hpped,
relentless and dangerous.
lit has been a wonderful year
to have lived through. History
is being made every hour. We
have lived a century in the last
twelve months. We will live an
other century In the next twelve
months. The man who is stand
ing aside and just looking on, or
who is still going about his bust
ness unmoved by the war, is
missing life and following a will
o-the-wisp. He is turning aside
from the most wonderful drama
IN the worlds history, to play a
game Of tiddly-winks.
The coming year viii bring
sorrow to America, but it is no
time for depression. We have
a cause worth fighting for and
the arms to fight, and if the
spirit that is now stirring the
blood Of the nation means any
thing, it means victory.
