LONDON, Nov. 7.-Sedan, the city
in which the French armies capitu-
lated in the Franco-Prussian war,
and since then the symbol of a ma.
lions defeat and humiliation, has
been reached by the advance guards
of the American First Army.
Sedan has been the key of the Ger
man retreat from the battle fronts in
France. 1t was the centre of the
enemy defence system which domi-
mated the eastern gateway from
France to Germany through which
the Germaps have been moving their
men and supplies in disorhcrly haste
FOR the last two weeks. With Sedan
lost the Germans are shut out of
France from the south.
Ten Mile Gain by French.
The great lateral lines OF communi-

are now under American control
which means that IL the Germans
haven't already Withdrawn their
arm.es they will be trapped. Their
only remaining chance to get out Is
around the Ardennes to the north. an
extremely difficult route and one that
IS being constantly narrowed by the
pressure of the British east OF Nalen-
Ciennes.
The French troops under Cen De-
beney continued their advance. On
the left they crossed the Avesnes-N Yer
wins road. South OF there they reached
the railway running from La Capelle-
Hirson railway on the line OF Efry
and Uringny- -Thierache. To the
east the French are on the Thon River
as far as Leuze, north of Rozoy-
Serre
On the Aisne front French troops
are on the line of Wagnon, Niel-St
Remy Mazerny and La Horgne. This

out of them and made them unfit for further war

Then it was that France began her program of
reprisals. When the Germans served 'ssoup like
bill-stickers' paste" to Frenchmen the French
procured the recipe and supplied similar fluid to
the Germans in their prisons. When the Ger
man government lost" Frenchmens parcels and
offered no satisfaction the French stopped the
parcels for German prisoners-and cut down
their rations.
In that way France convinced the Huns that
French prisoners must be treated as human
beings. Then Germany agreed to exchange
prisoners.
Great Britain thus far has refused to put into
execution the program of reprisal which would
protect her men in German camps more surely
than anything else This mistake, though, is in
fair way to be corrected. The British public de-
mands general exchange of prisoners and pro-
gram of exact measure for measure medicine"

Few American prisoners are in German camps.

can't persuade vicious brute by argument, kind
treatment nice words. You can kick him off
his prey, and you can beat him into submission.
He doesn't understand any other treatment.
Anything else he considers cowardice and is an
encouragement to greater cruelty.
The American government may already have
taken steps which will bring about general ex-
change of American and German prisoners. If
it has not, an immediate effort should be made.
In the meantime, and to bring Germany to an
early compliance, rigid plan of reprisals should
be put into execution. We will feed our
prisoners what the Huns feed American
soldiers. We will work them as our boys are
forced to toll.

RHONDDA's RECORD.

In the death of viscount Rhondda, Great Bril-
tain has lost one of the most valuable of its of
fical heads. Viscount Rhondda was the man who
put England and most of Great Britain on rations
and won the gratitude even of the people whose
food supply he regulated. Before he achieved
the task it was generally regarded as impossible.
Food was running short in Great Britain in
June 1917, when Baron Rhondda was appointed
Food Controller of Great Britain. The German
U-boats were sending ships to the bottom OF the
ocean, and Great Britain was supporting tre-
mendous army in France. The civilians at home
were beginning to feel the pinch Long queues
of men, women and children stood for hours at
the food stores in scores of British cities, and
there was a loud grumble from the pubic
The man who as David A. Thomas had been
managing director of the great Cambrian mine,
apparently undertook his task with many mis-
givings. 81 have suspicion" he told his friends,
that Lloyd George conscripted me for this al
most impossible job because he knew had the
hide of rhinoceros. If it is necessary to put
the whole country compulsory rations viii
do it without compunction,'' he also gave warn
ing.
Then followed series of orders and regula-
tions that year or two would have reused the
Brition to wrath. The Food Controller took
over control of all the crops of 1917 and within
a few months announced the formation of in
ter-allied Food Council to purchase from the
United States food supplies for Great Britain,
France and Italy, in cooperation with Herbert
Hoover.
The purpose was to eliminate competition and
to stop speculative advances in the prices of food
When transportation to America snow
bound for weeks in the winter of 1917, and
America could not deliver the food to England
that had been promised, Rhondda met the crisis
by fixing the amount of food to be served every
person in hotels, restaurants and boarding houses
down to the most minute fraction. And it car
ried England over the crisis and made him Wis
count.
Strange enough, and possibly more interesting
than true, is the statement that the new Viscount
felt victim to over devotion to his own theories.
He had boosted that he was living far
smaller ration than he had imposed upon the
British public but in April, 1913 he suffered
physical collapse attributed by some to his short
ration program, which later resulted in his DEATH
