Ostend

Napoleon once declared that the port of Ostend, in Belgium, was pistol pointed at England But the great French emperor, with this pistol, was never able to make England surrender. Nor has the kaiser Will helm, possessing this same pistol for four years, met with better success. But was always threat and a menace, and doubt less England has shuddered at it, even as she shuddered more than hundred years ago when Napoleon shadow fell across Europe And now Ostend has fallen. Eng fish ships have entered its harbor and Bel gian troops occupy its streets and the Bel gian king and queen, long exiled from their land have established their temporary capi- tai here. The fall of Ostend marks an epoch of the great war Holding it, the Germans were protected by the sea upon their right flank, and they used 1t as a sub marine base to harry allied commerce close at hand. It stands at the very mouth of the English channel, and was at once cita- del of the sea and of land Zeebrugge, just to the north, will not long survive the fall of Ostend, and this means that the German will have to depend upon his frozen ports of the North Sea for submarine activity during the winter The loss of Ostend Is as severe a blow to German military and political power as any one of the many se- were blows he has received lately. And thus the restoration of Belgium has begun, at the point of the sword and the muzzle of the gun, and the only way possible to have restored her from the hand of such foe. It Is now too late for Berlin to gain any capi- tai or any credit from voluntarily giving up Belgium. The greater part of this mar tyred land will be regained this year no mat ter what Berlin elects to do Those Belgian,

Cold, Hard Facts

= On the front page of the Review Friday morning appeared statement issued from London in which was set forth the fact that the majority of opinion in the English capi- tai were agreed that the German army was still formidable and that the military situ- ation did not warrant any undue hopes of an immediate peace. It went further when 1t declared that the Germans had conducted a most successful retreat and were not liable to suffer any great losses of men or material from disaster this year. The political, and not the military situation, this article aver red, was spurring Germany on in her insist ent appeals for peace. And this column, in all humility, can point out its editorial ut terances almost daily for week past, that nearly word for word coincide with the statements of this London dispatch. A close study of the war day by day with a map always before one and past events for ref erence, does not incline the student to un- due elation over our victories of recent months We have done much, but there
 Is much to do. The campaign of 1918 Is drawing fast to an end Not until the spring of 1919 will we be able to reap the harvest of this fall. If Foch had two months more, then we should sec But he has only about two weeks. If Germany bows to our terms and makes unconditional surrender 1t will be the political and not the military situa- ton that compels her submission. There are signs that she Is about to yield, but signs are poor things to build upon in war We cannot afford to count upon or even consider them. We must press on unhesi- tatingly and unrelentingly, straight and stern to the goal of a complete victory.

OVER WE GO!

The Warren district went over the top yesterday with several thousand to spare in its great drive for the $l ,400,0 ,000 quota of the fourth Liberty loan. Of course we raised it. The Warren district has always come through clean and fine and strong in any great work to which 1t has set its hand. And this was F1erculean labor Our quota had been set with the sky as the limit and it was only by going down to the bottom of our pockets that we were enabled to go over that top.
 And right here the Review wants to lay particular stress upon one grand and glow ing point, and that is that it was only with the aid and earnest, whole hearted support of the working men of the district that we managed to subscribe our part of the loan. The fourth loan was the working mans loan in the Warren district Did you see those two pages of names in the Review yesterday morning forming the C. and A. subscriptions? Miners and muckers and workmen and clerks nearly every one of them. And the Shattuck and the Copper Queen boys came through the same way as their names will tell in issues of the Re view next week.
 The business men and other residents of the district worked and gave, but after all, it was a peoples loan. The average man had to subscribe to it. It was the large number of subscriptions that carried the third line intrenchments, and not the num- Der of large subscriptions.
 Of course the Warren district went over. They are tagging in the great centers ot wealth and population, north and east and south, but we did not lag here. We were well up in our per cent all the time, and never for day was the Warren district per cent of subscriptions below the per cent for the Dallas district as a whole It was a great achievement, and accomplished in the face of peace talk and reports and rumors and influenza and all the other things that always intervene in any great work to do, but which do not daunt or disorganize a real American camp like this one of Bis bee, U. 5.

It IS estimated that since July 8, last, the allies have captured 46l 200 prisoners on all fronts Of these 5 ,000 were Turks and about sixty thousand were Bulgars. This would leave about 350,000 Germans yanked out of the fighting line on the west ern front and placed in cages in the rear. In other words. thirty full German divisions have been taken bodily besides those killed and wounded A terrible toll, and showing more clearly than anything else the master strategy of Foch and the valor and stay ing qualities of the allied troops. In the past three months the allies have taken three times as many German prisoners as they had taken in the first three years of the war It is also declared that we have taken over five thousand German cannon or about one-fifth of his entire artillery armament.

In the recent peace and kaiser-abdication fiasco, sent out from Holland it is noted by this column that the New York Times spe- cial correspondent played part, and the Times bulletin of the fake was first placed on the wires. Since the Times made that editorial bid for peace via the negotiation route and then veered around so quickly, this column has marked 1t from its list of great papers of the country. This second effort to break through with premature peace is different from the first one, but can be viewed with the same suspicion and doubt
