KAIsERs GREAT DRIVE HALTED.

KAISER'S GREAT DRIVE HALTED
Two weeks ago today the kaiser
with an army largely outnumbering
the allies, commenced the bloodiest
battle in the history of the world. He
threw his best troops against the
British lines with a wreckless disre-
gard for the lives of his men. Ac-
cording to seemingly authentic re-
ports his attacking divisions lost from
80 to 70 per cent. on the first day.
They were literally cut to pieces by
the British artillery and machine gun
fire.
IT the kaiser planned, and it would
seem as though he had that he could
give three men for one and still have
men enough left to break the British
lines, his plans have miscarried
The British had to give ground for
several days, but they made the Ger
mans pay for every foot gained by a
horrible sacrifice of human life. One
report from neutral source puts the
German losses as high as 100000 men
since offensive was launched, and Ger
man prisoners corroborate this fright
full report.
The failure of the kaiser to break
the British lines. during the first day
Of the great drive, gave the French
chance to come to the relief of their
British allies and they came full of
fighting zeal Wherever they struck
the German advance was halted. and
during the past two days the Huns
have made no gains, and in a number
Of places the allies have counter at
tackled and gained ground and pris-
,ners.
The kaiser's army can not remain
where it is He must either renew
he attack or fall back. At least that
seems to be the general opinion of
military men, If the attack is renew
ed the allies reserve army will be in
the thick of the fight, and upwards
Of 100000 American soldiers may fall
on the kaiser's flank, as Blucher's
legions did upon Napoleon at Water
loo.
No one can tell what the next few
days has in store for humanity. The
fate Of modern civilization hangs in
the balance. ,.s

THE FRONTIER OF FREEDOM.
<h1o,xr vonIr yrYor1J

II ~ lNSW IOTh WOIlO,)
From our own shores to port in
France, from that swarming centre of
American activity to the base store
houses and hospitals; from them to
the reserve lines of the Army of the
United States, to the actual trenches,
under fire; finally to listening posts
In no mans land, Secretary Bakers
mission has led him to carry to our
troops assurance that the Nation is
behind them; to bring back to the
Nation added confirmation of the Wig
or and daring Of their effort.
Beyond those keenly-watched listen
ing-posts, though they are on the soil
of the French Republic, no friend of
France can go by day or night except
by superior force. That is, as Mr..
Baker finely said, ''the Frontier of
Freedom" Beyond lies the domain
gripped tight by autocracy with the
mailed fist of military power.
It is a wonderful scene of American
endeavor the Secretary OF War has
now visited, from the toilers at home
to the most venturesome outpost
the ''bridge OF ships" the maze OF rail-
way lines converging to it here, di-
verging from it in France; the
mountains of material and vast as
semblies of men.
But greater than the effort is the
inspiring purpose. The men with the
guns, and the men and women behind
the guns, have not one selfish nation
al purpose. They would extend free
dom so that it should no longer have
a frontier.

LENRooT PROBABLY ELECTED.

Early this morning the returns from
43 of the II counties in Wisconsin
gave Lenroot, the republican candi-
date for U. S. senator, 69,372; Davies,
democrat, 64,S10; Berger, socialist,
44,514. This balloting assures the
loyalty of Wisconsin by vote of more
than 3 to l.
On the issue Of loyalty to the gov
eminent, and that is about the only
issue in politics today, it makes lit
tie difference whether Lenroot or
Davies win when the returns are all
counted They are both loyal sup
porters Of the government and their
combined vote is Wisconsin's repu-
diation of LaFollet's Bolsheviki.

LICHNOwSKY'S "IMPRUDENCE"

AN UNNATURAL and serious atrocity
"A has been committed. \ Hun diplomat
has told the truth.
Prince I.ichnowsHy. German ambassador
in London from 1912 until the outbreak of
the war in 1914, seems to have been
tempted beyond discretion by the reports
of large sums earned nowadays by ambas-
sadorial memoirs. The Prince, desiring to
make Iroper provision for his family in
the lea: years that may shortly come upon
the diplomatic corps in Berlin, dictated
some frank little musings upon his expert
ences in London as prolegomena to a fu-
ture volume These notes were intended
only for the family archives until such
time as royalties might be cashable but
alas six copies were made and some ones
foot slipped. Probably one Of the Princes
inaws is responsible.
At any rate Lichnowsky in the role of
Pepys was highly unpalatable to all
highers and the All Highest, for the ex.
ambassador made it very clear how hard
Sir Edward Grey fought for peace in 1914.
The Prince also ruminated lin the bosom
of his family, as he thought how invariably
the uncanny genius of Berlin backs the
wrong diplomatic horse, ana pointed to
Germany's fatal Balkan policy as having
led straight to the conflict.
These gentle meditatons led to a hula
baloo along Underlinden street. The I'M
perial Vice Chancellor was constrained to
say officially that the Prince had been
guilty of an imprudence Lichnowsky is
reported to have resigned from something,
no one knows lust what. Perhaps from
his inlaws. Those in-laws are the bright
power to them

TUNING UP OUR DIPLOMACY

CERNIAN blundering rather than any
VI constructive theory or talent in Ameri.
can diplomacy is responsible for the almost
solid alignment of South American opinion
behind the United States in the present
world crisis. Unified sentiment on this
continent and better understandings be-
tween this country and the South Ameri-
cans are sure to be among the benefits
which we shall derive from the war.
Something of the future problems in.
volved for American diplomacy in the i'm.
perative task of cementing and solidifying
the growing amity and interest which the
Latin republics have been manifestng
toward our policies and affairs is suggested
in the present state of affairs in Chile. The
Chilean Government has made it plain by
intimation that the mutual interests of
the two countries are too important to be
left to weak or amateur hands Ambassa-
dor Shea is retiring. Chile has implied a
desire for a young man adequately trained
to take up the work of the retiring diplo-
mat. Posts such as this. In the present
and future state OF the world. should never
again be used as berths for otherwise
futile deserving Democrats or deserving
Republicans. Z
