The loss of one line of communica-
ton after another has left the Ger
mans with only two railroads: by way
of Hirson and MeZieres. to supply their
five armies. This compels the Germans
to make a desperate defense on their
left wing and to redouble their efforts
to retard an advance by the allies
elsewhere. The allied positions along
the Meuse are dangerously near the
pivot of Metz upon which the tntire
German operation westward depends.

Moving More Slowly.
French and Italian troops are moving

when they wiped out the greater part
of the I4aon-Fere salient. From all ac-
counts it would appear that the Germans
are gradually emptying the pocket
formed when the allies broke the lines
north of ST, Quentin and along the
Aisne at Berry-au-Bac.
The French, however. have passed
Sissonne, formerly one of the principal
concentration points for German troops
in this part of the front. Gen. Gouraud' 8
army has crossed the Aisne west Of
Rethel, and this advance would appear
to render the position Of the enemy
farther east rather perilous. AS the
progress of the French in this region
continues the Germans in the Cham
pagne sector seem to be slowly involved
in another pocket such as has often
forced a rapid retirement on various
sectors of the line.

Military Advisers Agree.

In other words they do not scorn
the use of any weapon, verbal or
physical, that may tend to produce
division inside Germany and even
tually such friction as will cripple
the German military machine itself
and compel surrender. Moral force.
they contend, can go hand in hand
with physical force and that is the
American governments policy today.
OF course, it is difficult for many
Americans to conceive that any part of
the German population is entitled to
consideration. Such vivid emphasis has
been laid in the past year on the brutal
ity of the Hun. posters have pictured
and epitomized the German as blood
bespattered criminal, that the American
public is at present not in the mood to
recognize that there are decent and re-
spectacle elements in Germany who hate
the kaiser as bitterly as anybody out
side of Germany and who, like the revo-
Iutionists in Russia, seem a small num-
Der until the hour to strike arrives.

Encouraging Liberals.

That is why the President sought to
encourage the liberal and socialist
malcontents in Germany by the
phraseology of his last message. He
did not use the words unconditional
surrender or the language of brag-
gadocio that would sound so well in
the United States, but which wouldn't
do the socialists and liberals, in Ger
many a bit of good in their effort to
obtain political ascendancy. True
enough, there are people in Washing
ton, as well as elsewhere, who call all
such solicitude about any portion of
the German people-liberals. radicals
| and socialists-merely empty twaddle
and they echo>and re-echo the cry:
Let Eoch do it!"
This view, however, is not voiced
by military men of high rank, who
know the value of morale-strong
and weak morale back of the lines.
They are in accord with the Presi-
dents purpose of weakening the
morale back of the German lines, as
they think it will help win an early
military decision.

Liberal FERMENT

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1918. by N. Y. Evening Post. Incl
Germany is in political ferment-a
forerunner to ultimate revolution.
Every bit of information from the
neutral countries adjacent to the Ger
man empire dovetails. The socialistic
strength is growing and the demand
for peace has become an issue of the
gravest proportion. No one who has
studied recent events inside Germany

But that the Germans are hasten
ing the process of characterization,
that they are seriously discussing fun
damental reforms and changes in the
constitution and that the issue is TAX
ing hold in all the federal states of
the empire is brought to Washington
from many different official sources.
Moral Force Getting Results.
Those who have questioned the wis
dom of the American governments
policy of appealing constantly to the
liberal and socialist elements of the
German people, arguing that physical
force is the only language that means
anything to Germany, are beginning
to notice that the persistent USE by
America of her moral force in the
world is at last bringing results in
side Germany.
The liberals and socialists, embold-
ened by the severe blow that has been
given the militaristic conception of
things by the inability of the German
military machine to stand up against
the allied offensive on the western
front. are beginning to gain a hear
ing with the people of Germany and
their agitation is proving fruitful
These socialists and liberals make
constant use of Mr. Wilson's speeches
and doctrines. arguing that just and
honorable peace is possible for the
people of Germany by means of the
peace terms set forth by the Presi-
dent. While this movement is not
as yet strong enough to urge that
the withdrawal of the kaiser is a pre-
requisite to peace, every sign points
to such a campaign in the not far
distant future.

 Fred WolIman of Bisbee regards himself as extremely lucky and owes his life to the fact that Dougias man was a very poor shot with a high powered rifle.
 Through a case Of mistaken identity Wcllman was shot at in Douglas by man with large caliber rifle Sun day morning. The bullet cut a hole through the sleeve of Wollman's mack inaw but did not touch him.
 According to WoOlman's story hs was walking down C street in DOu- glas early Sunday when a man step ped ont from behind a fence a short distance away and fired at him. Woll- man says he was tco surprised to run and that the man walked up tO him and showed a forty-five caliber re vOlver into his midsecticn and then after taking a good look at him turn ed white and started down the street saying be had mistaken Wollman for someone else.
 Tt wasn't until then that I noticed that the shot which he had fired at me had cut a hole in the loose part of the sleeve of my mackinaw oppO- site my wrist.

FIGHTING FARNUM IS
 AT ORPHEUM TODAY

All the world loves a fighter. That i is why William Farnum, who is pre- eminently the fighting man of the screen. is one of the favorites of the silent drama. The distinguished Will ian Fox star has literally smashed and bruised his way to photoplay fame because of the. strength of his hard right arm
 None of Farnum's battles has been 'stagey." The famous player has bat tered his way to victory each time. Now he is pitted against a man still more rugged and probably as powerful as himself
 This man is Walter Law, who is cast for an important part in "The Heart of a Lion," showing at the Or pheum today, matinee and evening. Law has acted in many William Fox productions and is counted as one of 1 the most herculeaL members of the film profession. Ee weighs 225 pounds stands it. l in. high, has a 37-in. waist and a chest measurement of fl in. His entire build is greater than that of his adversary, but Farnum has never quaked in the slightest before superior size.
 So if you want to see a real ham, mer-and-tongs. Up-and-at-'em bout. watch for the picture. The light Is sure to be the best in the history of the photOplay because both of the con testants have hankering for the wig orous.

 This is a photoplay that will have an especially universal appeal because of the diversity of characters ana piac- es shown From cultured" ,easterner to western minsr and cowboy and the dance-hall girl-they are all in the pic ture sooner or later and many more. Each character has been painted as with the skilled brush of a famous ar tist by director George H.
