for the methane, extracted from coal

ENTENTE ALLIES
ABOUT TO ENTER
DARKEST PERIOD
French Commissioner Believes,
However, War Will End In
side of Six Months.
AMERICAS PART IS SUPPLIES
Possibility Of Strong German At
tack on Western Front
This Winter.

An Atlantic Port, Jan. 1.-The en-
tente allies are entering the hardest
period Of the war, but peiod which
will prove richest in decisive results
If we know how to play good game,
and its issue will be decided in the
next six months" according to Cap
tain Andre Tardieu, French high COM
missioned to the United States, who
has returned to this country and will
arrive in Washington today.
The commissioner first arrived in
this country last May. He returned
to France in November and his gov
eminent decided to continue his offic-
ial title for period Of six months.
While Captain Tardieu pointed to
the possibility of strong German at
tack on the western front during this
winter, he is absolutely confident
that 1t will be another Verdun,' he de-
clared in statement.
The urgency of an enormous econ
omic effort was emphasized by Cap
tain Tardieu as follows:
"The battle is not only on the bat
tlefield. l have told to the French,
with complete frankness, what Amer
lea expects from them In the way OF
restrictions and new sacrifices. l am
coming back to explain here the nec-
essary sacrifices that France and her
allies are expecting from America for
victory"
Men, wheat, oil, ships and locomo-
tives are the things most needed and
which America is able to give, Captain
Tardieu said.
BY way of tribute to Col. E. M.
House, who headed the American mis-
sion to the inter allied conference in
Paris, Captain Tardieu said:
Thanks to the presence OF COL
House and his associates the inter-
allied conference has done excellent
work. 1t was necessary that the gov
eminent of the United States should
assert its will and it's capacity to take,
in Europe, the part which belongs to
America in the direction OF the war.

This is comment often heard.
Put this situation prevails only In

and ,1ebling of the size of militia reg

Bill, you wasn't in the habit of splitting

fellows if they could see this muss

"T've never had to speak of cleanll-

It speaks volumes for the stuff that
is in the militiamen to say that hum
