KEY POSITION OF WAR, STILL

War Department Weekly Report Declares
Germany Has Again Failed, in Russia This
Time, to Shift Center of Gravity.
BY BA1RNsFATHER)

Gernany's sweep into Russia is de-
scribed by the War Departments
weekly military review as another fu-
tile attempt on the part Of the Ger
mans TO shift the center of gravity of
the war. which still remains on the
west front. where the Teutons face the
French. British. Italian and Belgian
armies and the ever-Erowtng Arner!-

the key positions OF the war.
American troops now occupy trenches
at four separate points. and In tho
principal sector their front is four and
o half miles long. They have been con-
stantly engaged. and tho scope OF
their activities is being constantly OK
tended.

First Cabinet Man to Go.

Mr.. Baker is the first member of
President Wilson's cabinet to go to the

not only with Gen. Pershing. but with
the leaders of the French and British
governments as well, viii come direct
information for the President as to
what is transpiring in the allied coun-
tries, to aid him in shaping his future
course.
That the War Secretary is in Europe
as the Presidents official representa-
tive is regarded as evidence of the de-
termination Of the President to press
the war aggreSsively to victory.

In addition. the prisoners of war, suf-
fering from wounds or diseases that

conditions. have been allowed to come
to Switzerland, where they are cared
for until cured.

Switzerland. must remain informed

Sorrow for Those Left Behind.

There is a pitiful anguish in the
minds of the internes amounting to re-
morse because of the comrades left
behind. The improvement of the
health of the men since their arrival
in Switzerland is SO great that there
have been only 10 per cent of deaths
among them, whereas the average of
deaths in the prison camps of Ger
many and Austria is over IS percent
The speaker told of the work being
done to train the interned men in use
full trades. and of the heroic devotion
of the people of Switzerland to this
task of caring for the prisoners of
war. although they themselves scarcely
have enough to eat.

Eager to See Pershing.

For several months the Secretary has
been eager to see for himself conditions
at the front and to talk over with Gen.
Pershing, the man upon whom the full
burden of responsibility for the entire
American war program in France has
been placed, the many problems that
have arisen to impede the carrying out
of the departments plans. 1t was i'm
possible for Gen. Pershing to come
home for such conference, Mr.. Baker,
therefore, determined, after many con-
ferences with President Wilson, to go
himself on inspection tour, which
will. he believes, better fit him for his
great responsibility in meeting Gen.
Pershing's requirements in fighting
men and materials. and keeping IN OPP
Grafton d supply line more than 5000
miles long.
1t is regarded as probable, too, that
the Secretary will take the opportunity
to inform the American commander in
the field very fully to all the hopes
and aims of the government which are
at stake in the war.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By Mas. ELIZABETH THOMSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am q
trained nurse and on account of poor
health ] have not been able to go TO
France and have had to content my
self with work here in the hospital.
Eight years ago when / started nurs-
ing had a young man for q patient
who fell in love with me. or pretended
to. When he was sick he talked about.
marrying me when he was well again.
and with such promises he made me
kiss him often.
After he did not need my services
any longer he came to see me just
three times and then got . letter
from him saying that he had gone to
another town to work and promised to
send me his address as soon as he had
a permanent one. 1 never heard from
him and I was too proud to ask his
parents for 1t. They did not seem to
like me and I knew they would not
have wished to have me marry him
because I was a working girl.
1t took me several years to get over
my love for this boy and until this day
I have never loved another man. Sew
eral weeks ago young girl who was
one of my patients invited me to go to
a nearby town with her to a dancing
party. still enjoy dancing. While
there met this man again. He told
me that he had married and divorced
since. I had seen him last and that he
had never been able to forget me. The
reason he did not write was because
his, mother made him promise he
would give me up for her sake. He
begged to see me again but I would
not let him come. Recently received
a long letter from him begging 10 see
me again. He says he has never loved
any one else and asks me to forgive
him for the mistake he made when he
was a boy. What do you think I
ought to do? NURSE MOLLY.
Let the man come. It may be that
after all these years you and he will
find happiness together. He has been
punished for the wrong he did you
when he dropped you SO cruelty. His
life has not brought him happiness
since his mistake.

TINE FOR A WARNING.

There are indications that the Huns
are beginning to realize that they can
not win the war and that a day of
reckoning and retribution Is coming.
A tendency toward 1essening the ex-
pense of peace is shown in their re-
cent retreats.
German devastation of the territory
from which the smashing blows of
the allied armies are now driving the
invaders does not seem to be as de-
uberate and complete as was the case
"Hindenburg line" in the spring of
1917. 1t may be observed that the re-
treating hordes have not been given
any more time than sufficed for the
saving of their own skins; and until
they could be sure of getting away
themselves, and of removing as much
of their munitions and supplies as pos
sible, they were not likely to waste
precious moments on the thoro and
systematic 1aying-waste of the aban-
doned region. 1t is nevertheless to be
noted that in the past they have
counted a battle as not wholly lost IL
in their retirement they could exhibit
a broad wake Of ruined French towns,
villages, orchards and farms. They
have had a cynical consolation in the
fact that a German retreat is as dam
aging to France as a German victory.
It is time the allies took notice of
this malicious propensity of the Huns
and served plain warning upon the
barbarians that they will be held
strictly to account for 1t. Confidence
in ultimate and complete victory
immensely strengthened by the prog
ress of events during the last month
places the allied powers in a position
to specify anew some of the certain
conditions of peace. One of these
should be that Germany after the war
will be held strictly to account for all
unlawful and unnecessary damage
done A firm declaration to this ef-
feet would doubtless carry consider
able weight. Before their Armies are
driven back to their own borders,
there is a large extent of territory
which, if they pursue the policy in
which they have shown themselves so
| UNANIMOUSLY adept, they can ravage,
ruin and demoIish. Let them be
made to understand that for all such
savagery they will be brought to book
and compelled to make restitution.

Steadily and surely the. allies are
learning not only to fight the Hun
with his own weapons, but to improve
on them now and then. Dropping
barrels of blazing oil from aeroplanes
is one of the latest exploits of Italian
airmen. A realistic illustration OF this
style of bombing is shown in the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. During
their last drive, the Austrians had
thrown bridges across the Piave river,
preparatory to an attack. Twelve of
then were destroyed in this daring
way, with great loss of enemy troops
who were caught on the structures.
