are doing the most important fighting on the
whole line, and their battle will bear compari-
son with the heroic struggle for Cambria which
was brought to a successful finish by EIaigs men
1t is the same kind of dogged, hammering with
no appreciable gains showing the map, but
with every advance menace to the whole Ger
man army
The italian Blow,
Yesterday the long expected blow on the Ital-
ian front fell The extent of this battle is yet to
be revealed. but it is altogether likely that this
attack is to be synchronized with the allied at
tacks on Austrian forces in Albania and in
Serbia. If the Allies have not already reached
the Austrian border in Serbia, they are within q
few miles of it, and Iney nave an army IN the
Balkans sufficient to call upon the resources or
the Dual Kingdom to repel invasion. The
Austrian forces in Albania in full flight and
the Allies are now on the Rumanan border, and
soon will be prepared to render aid to Rumania
and give that country the signal to re-enter the
war With this danger menacing her entire
southern border and calling for every man ana
every gun she has left, Austria is forced to meet
an Italian attack that threatens her armies in
Italy. 1t does not seem possible that Austria can
avert an invasion of her territory from both the
Balkans and from Italy. This time there are no
German divisions to be spared, and the Italians
have always proved themselves more than
match for the Austrians alone. 1t would not be
surprising to see an Italian, army marchlng to-
ward Vienna and an English, French Serbian
and Greek army marching toward Budapest be-
fore the end of the year unless the Dual King
dam makes an unconditional surrender.
Nothing has yet been heard of. the promised
invasion of Turkey from the Macedonian front,
but undoubtedly it is imminent, and there has
been no news during the week from Palestine
or Mesopotamia where the conditions probably
are not materially changed from week ago.
One most significant dispatch received during
the week was the report of American naval guns
of 16-inch size being in action on the American
front These are the most powerful guns known
the .freak German long distance gun that she'll
ed Paris had a longer range but the American
guns throw shell of many times the destruc-
tiveness of the German shell, and they probably
would have a range of from twenty to thirty
miles They are larger than the famous 14-inch
guns of the Queen Elizabeth type of British hat
tleships and these had a range of twenty miles
or more. With these guns, the Americans can
absolutely demolish communication lines for a
distance Of twenty-five miles or moro from the
front If anything like general retreat from
France lis undertaken through the narrowing
gap watch for the havoc of the American naval
guns.--J. e. r.

rocks, when passion, prejudice, or ignor-
ance sways the crew running her
Tt is set Of rules laid down in cold
blood to act as check upon our conduct
when we may be tempted to act hastily.
The constitution, Of course, has other
functions, but that is one of them, and one
of the most important of them.
Therefore it is no recommendation for
an amendment to say that it will let down
the bars to direct action of radical ma
ture. IF that is our aim, why have a con-
stitution at all? There is, one certain
method of getting direct action on any
measure. Abolish the constitution entire
Iy, as they have done in Russia, and let
the momentary whim of the voters decide
all questions, great or small.
But don't make the mistake of thinking
the constitution is something imposed up.
on us by an outside power, to restrict our
freedom of action. 1t is restraint we
impose upon ourselves. 1t is an admission
to ourselves that some times we are tempt
cd to act too hastily, and with too little in
formation, and we voluntarily impose re-
straints upon our course Of action. It is
insurance against ''making fools of our
selves
Therefore it is not necessarily recon-
mendation for constitutional amendment
to say that it removes restrictions on the
freedom of action of the voter. 1t may be
quite the contrary. If the restriction is
irksome and tends to obstruct progress, re-
move it. But don't remove it just because
it is restriction.

The War for the Week

One week ago today, in this column, attention
was drawn to the most remarkable weeks ad-
vance in four years Of warfare Along the en-
tire line from Verdun to the North Sea there
was not mile of the line that had not been
moved forward from five to twenty five miles.
This week, the fighting has brought less spec
tacular advances for the very good reason that
treating, but the gains that have been made will
be reflected later in the regaining of territory of
fully as great extent, as that recovered last
week
For several weeks past, it has been forecast
In these columns, that the real stand would
be made by the Germans along the Meuse river
as far north as Narnur, but that delaying actions
would be fought at several places before the
river reached, and that stand might be
made before Brussels and Antwerp, the line
from Nan1ur north being later swung back, if
necessary to follow the Meuse to the Dutch
Such delaying actions have been fought dur
ing the week that is just closing and the Allies
have met with very bitter opposition at three
vital points on the line from Rethel TO the North
Sea. .s ..- ,. --
From Tournai north, the Germans have been
trying to hold the line of the river Scheldt This
is the last and only defense between the Allies
and Brussels. North of Client, the Allies
held up temporarily by the Eecloo canal, and
south Of Client and between Client and Tournai
they have had to force passage of the Scheldt.
They have finally affected a crossing of the
river at one or two points, and If they can make
good their foothold and clear the east bank of
the river the way is open to the outflanking OF
Client from. the south and the capture Of Brus-
sells and Antwerp.
lulS movement WOuIQ appear De more An ac-
cordance with Marshal Fochs tactics than a
frontal attack on Antwerp by driving along the
Dutch border north of Client By driving from
Tournais to Brussels another pocket would be
created, and the recent retreat from the coast
cities would have to be duplicated, possibly with
even more disastrous results.
The lighting between Journal and Ghent for
the crossing OF the Scheldt river, therefore,
should be of much importance during the COM
ing week. as a successful outcome would involve
the fall of Brussels and Antwerp and probably
retirement to the line Of the Meuse from Namur
to Holland. .. ...f.. -. ....s.....
The VaIenciennes Battle.
Around Valenciepnes terrific battle has been
in progress during the greater part Of the week.
The British have avoided shelling the city and
are trying to capture it by outflanking it. They
are now in possession of part Of it. and have
driven beyond it on both the north and the south.
The objectives of this battle are the cities Of
Mons and Maubeuge, two important railway
centers This district is well adapted to such de-
laying actions the Germans fighting.
They have no elaborate defense lines but the
country is crossed by many small streams and
canals, and there are several forests Of consider

TO The Editor of The Forum:
Another Sabbath with closed churches is upon
and the question is, what use have we made
of these Sabbaths?
We accept of the kindness of this paper to ask
all Of those who believe in God to gather the
family about them on this Sabbath and read
and study together, the ninety-fir Psalm. Al
message from God specially appropriate in this
hour. let the study of the word be followed by
united family prayer that God will remove the
pestilence from the land, bless our nation our
men and women in national war service and
our Allies. That He win hasten the hour OF COM
plete victory to our arms on land and sea
These sabbaths need not be lost to the church
but the rather should be days Of d more In
tense personal reliance upon God and consecra-
tion to His service and to the service Of hui
manity.

bE READY WHEN
 LOAN MEN COME.

Beginning April 6, the United States government will float it's third Liberty loan issue. All over the United States the sale of these bonds will be urged. Men whose broWs are furrowed with lines of business strife and tumult, are putting aside their personal burdens, to take up your burden, the burden of this nation and the world.
 When these men and women ask you to subscribe to Liberty bonds, go down into your pocket, or reach for your check book, and lend your government every cent you can find at your com niand, and then some more-lend until it hurts.
 These men and women who will call upon you are very busy people. They have no time to argue. You know what they want. Have it ready for them when they call, for they will have an almost endless number of visits to make in the time prescribed.
 There is absolutely no argument on your side. Just get ready to meet the person who will seek your subscrip- tion. Watch the papers daily, and full l information will be within your reach. No questions will be necessary-there- 1 fore no answers.
 Time is limited. The Germans are not going to wait until you get ready to lick them. They are going to lick you first if they can. Its up to you.
