for there is no likelihood that he
has placed his noble hide in jeop-
ardy at any time. Nor has his
retreating and defeated army sur
rendered, or been bagged. But
great victory-a decisive, momen-
tous and pregnant triumph--has
been achieved. Let us not un-
derestimate its full measure by
failure to weigh its significance,
nor overestimate it through de-
pendence on misleading news
paper headlines, or by substituting
hopes for facts or probabilities.
The great lessons of the recent
battle are:
ID The offensive has been
suddenly and completely wrested
from the German high command,
so that he must reorganize entire
ly his plan of campaign.
(2) The American troops have
played great and influential
part in the battle.
| 90 General Foch's tactics are
sound and the allied project of a
generalissimo, directing all forces,
is vindicated.
~ The Germans misjudged
the whole situation, assuming that
the allies had definitely taken the
defensive and that they had no
real power of swift offensive
through rapid mobilization of re-
serves behind first line troops
they thought the French had no
reserves and the Americans were
not considered and worked them
selves into a pocket from which
they are having great trouble in
extricating themselves; but prob
ably they will succeed in re-es-
tablishing their front along the
Vesle river, which appears to be
their first objective.
% The German losses have
been heavy, but their retreat is
systematic and they may succeed
in saving the bulk Of their artiI-
lery and supplies. But the pros
pect of considerable further losses
is excellent.
co. The Germans are not able
to withstand the American troops
in open fighting, lacking their
dash, initiative, individual re-
sourcefulness and physical stam-
ina.
(O General Foch saw his OPP
portunity and took instant adj
vantage of the German STRATEGY
cal error, by a bold and sudden
strike, which developed rapidly
into general engagement.
~ The Germans defeat is
greater than its actual losses in
: men, supplies and territory; for
time also is lost to them, and it
is vital; for every day sees an in
| crease in allied strength through
: American accessions and new re-
cruits from other allied countries.
90 The immediate danger of
the loss of Paris is gone; and the
: ultimate danger that it will be ta-
ken is reduced almost to zero.
(10) An effort at removal OF
the German offensive either from
the Vesle river or at some other
place, is to be expected imme-
diately, or as soon as the German
forces can re-establish themselves
aICer Chelr QeIeaC.
(11) The absolute dependence
: of the allies on America if firmly
justified, for its contribution tt
( the victory, in its stimulus to the
allied morale and the actual par
, ticipation of its soldiers, speaks
for itself.
(12) The high-water mark O
German effort has been achieved
: and passed; and the beginning o.

victory may indeed be long,
clearly here.

FIGHT OPENED
ON INFLUENZA
Congress Appropriates ST.
10000 to Combat Span
ish Grip Epidemic.

With the Spanish influenza laying
itS hands upon two of the most
SoLspicuous leaders of Congress
Speaker. Champ Clark and Majority
Leader Claude Kitchin both
Houses yesterday passed a resolu-
ton appropriating s1.o0O,OOo to help
the federal authorities combat the
epidemic.
In both houses the vote on the
resolution was unanimous, it being
stated that the emergency is very
grave and that there is need of i'm
mediate action.
Speaker Clark and Mr.. Kitchin
were compelled to take to their beds
Friday afternoon. While the attend
ing physicians made satisfactory
reports yesterday in both cases II
was announced that the symptoms are
undoubtedly those OF the dread con-
tagion which is raging along the
Atlantic seaboard and in a number
of the army camps. Both OF the
patients are said to be resting cas-
lily and no serious developments are
looked for.
Cheer for Mr.. Clark.
Speaker Clark was cheered on his
sick bed by the announcement that
his son, Lieut.. Col. Bennett c. Clark,
had been promoted to be assistant
chief of staff of the Eighty-eighth
Division now in France.
The resolution authorizing the ap-
preparation was first passed by the
House. 1t was introduced by Repre-
sentative Gillett of Massachusetts,
and was reported to the House by
Chairman Sherley Of the Appropria-
tions Committee who asked for its
immediate consideration. The debate
on the measure was very brief, and
included a statement by Mr.. SherIey
explaining how the money Is to be
spent under the direction of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, Secretary OF
the Navy and Secretary of War in
sending doctors and nurses to the
affected districts.
Rushed Through Senate.
After the resolution had been
adopted it was hurried to the Senate
where it was called up by Senator
Martin of Virginia, chairman of the
Appropriations Committee He told
the Senate the situation is very crit
ical and rs a menace to the army
camps and to the civilian population"
Senator Lodge said that the reso-
luton makes it possible to expend the
money anywhere in the United States
II needed.
There is great suffering and many
deaths from this disease" Senator
Lodge said. land action must be
taken at once to stop the spread of
the epidemic. At Camp Devens there
are over 1O,000 cases and many deaths.
1t has gone so far in the New Eng
land States that churches and other
public meeting places have had to
be ordered closed. The peril is very
great. We need money more than
anything to get doctors and nurses
on the scene"

SUFFRAGE NOW
PUT0FF AGAIN
Short of Votes, Amendment
Cannot Pass Senate
This Session.

The fight for the passage Of the
woman suffrage amendment in the
Senate at this session of Congress
became a lost cause yesterday.
Senator Jones, of New Mexico, in
charge of the measure. did not at
tempt to press 1t to a vote and ask
ed that the Senate adjourn until to-
morrow.
From a situation where with a dis
play OF fun strength victory was
in sight for the suffrage cause
their forces were virtually put to
rout after three-day battle.
The reverse Is due In the main
to the fact that the suffrage Sen
ators were unable to muster their
fusi strength on Thursday and brins
the proposed amendment to a vote.
Some of the Democratic suffrage
leaders allege that II was also partly
due to political treachery on the part
of Republican leaders who had prom
ised thirty-three votes for the cause
and after the issue had been brought
before the Senate announced that
there were but twenty-five votes for
it on that side OF the chamber, or
one short Of the number necessary
to assure victory.
Lost Some Democrats.
Many Democrats believe, however,
that If the suffrage forces could have
shown sufficient strength to call for
a vote on Thursday Democratic SEN
ators would have put aside their per-
sonal convictions in the matter an
have voted for the measure in sup
port Of the administration and to ex-
press the will of the national Demo-
cratic organization.
Delay and poor management on the
part of the Democrats in charge of
the measure has resulted in deser-
tions from the ranks OF those count
ed upon to cast votes for the amend
ment, and yesterday. while a flibu
ter was in progress, they lacked
least three votes of the necessary
two-thirds majority. There is hardly
remaining chance to pass the
amendment at this session Of Con-
gress, and the only prospect of say
ing the measure from utter defeat
after a gallant fight on the part of
the President. the administration and
the national Democratic organization,
is to withhold it from a vote at this
session Of Congress.
