The American gains in general
We're accomplished through pursuance
of the strategic policy of surrounding

again on the north side, and clearing
up the areas thus encircled
The days fighting began early
when the center moved forward and
encircled the difficult position at Hill
2SS, from which a machine gun fire,
estimated as coming from at least
200 guns concealed in the adjacent
woods, was poured into the Ameri-
cans. The patrols pushed forward
despite the enemy opposition into the

CLEARED ISSUES

"The presidents answer to the note

eddy will be by the other allied ma
tons, disposes effectually of any hope
that may have been entertained by
the central powers that they would
be allowed to escape the righteous
consequences of the four years of UNI
just and barbarous warfare, and Of
the cynical and inhuman methods by
which they have exploited the weak
ness of those whom they have for the
moment overpowered II also relieves
entirely tension which was clearly
observable during the short interim
lest in some way by the tedious and
uncertain methods of diplomatic dis
CUSTOM the fun results of the sacri-
fees already made by the allies

"In both respects the world now
breathes more freely; the real issue
appears in definite clearness; here
after the great contest goes straight
forward until the kaiser and his
clique disappear as a factor in Ger
man nationality and their wicked and
menacing influence is eliminated
from the councils of the nations,
Those who know President Wilson

been disappointed when reading his
