made to further advances by the, Germans. On the contrary, the lat est communication show that the enc. my everywhere has bene busily en- gagged in attempts to hold back the French and other allied troops am ong them some Americans. No men tion is made ill the communication of the allies having advanced their front east of Merry and the Genlis wood, or of the repulse of violent German at tacks along the Aronde river, and at the Lodges farm and Anthruil. Neither is there an mention of the 1 fact that the enemy, notwithstanding l his numerous attempts, has been un- ! able to debouch south of the Metz riv- CT. hTe communication asserts that all the counter attacks of the allied 1 forces have been repulsed, and that they suffered heavy casualties. 1t de- clared that the number of prisoners taken by General Won Hudier's army
 has now increased to more than IS, 900.
 It has been admitted that the posi-
 tion of the defending line on the west
 bank of the Disc river was delicate
 one, owing to the capture by the Ger
 mans of the outflanking hill to the
 west. and the successful drive thru the Carlepont wood, on the opposite
 side of the stream, seemingly would } have necessitated strategic retreat
 if the troops were not to be entirely cut off.

Lord Miners Deviations

There was no end of astonishment
and dismay that statesman of the
standing Of Lord Miner should have
given out such an interview on peace
with Germany as was printed in our col
umns on Friday. 1t is reassuring to find
that it brought equal dismay to some of
his strongest allies in England M.
Draper cabled yesterday the comment OF
The London Globe, hitherto a vigorous
supporter of the War Minister, wherein
it said bluntly:
1--WE should have preferred to ignore
this bunder but unhappily it cannot be
ignored, and must already have done con-
siderable mischief in Washington and
Paris, to say nothing Of it's encourage
ment to enemies as evidence of the
assistance which German policy will re-
ceive in this country in far more power
full quarters than our Bolsheviki's.
ut s true that Lord Miner is no
longer member of the War Cabinet,
but he was British War Minister at the
height of the great war, and if he re-
fleets the attitude Of the government al
say is God help England' in
the day of negotiation"
Lord Miner has been so closely asso-
ciated with the present ministry and the
Premier himself that it might readily be
assumed that he reflects their views. 1t
is fairly certain that he does not Lloyd
George, we know, has stood consistently
for "the Knockout blow" Lord Miner,
as our correspondent, Mr.. P. w. Wilson.
points out, has for two years held the
belief that Germany was too strong for
a decisive victory and that, in effect, the
war must be stalemate. 1t is evident
that he calculated the weight Of Amer
ica's aid as badly as did Germany. In
this connection it Is interesting to find
that, although one of Engand's fore
most administrators, Lord Miner has
a. strong admiXture of German blood,
and his mind is essentially of the Ger
manic type. He is an ultra-conserva-
tive and no strong believer in democ-
racy. 1t is striking witness to England's
power of assimilation that a man of sucn
views and such antecedents should have
been War Minister, and even for time
in the War Cabinet, Of an ultra Liberal
like Lloyd George. England could have
war administration employing her
most distinguished talent. 1t may be a
healthy reminder to America to know
that Lord Miner should feel free to ex-
press his personal views on such a mo-
mentous matter, even though they were
opposed to those of the present British
government
