ARE FACING
GREAT SLAUGHTER
ALLIES HAVE GREAT BATTERIES
IN RESERVE TO BATTER GER
MANS TO PIECES.
DRIVE DOOMED TO FAILURE

Paris,-The allied troops, well sup
ported by heavy and field artillery,
have halted the Germans in their flu
rious rushes to reach the railroad from
Clermont to Amiens. The enemy'S
latest detectives were evidently to
cut the railroad and take Amiens. In
both of these he failed.
The allies, holding their ground
firmly in many parts and counter
attacking successfully, have again
caused the Germans enormous losses.
The slight gains the enemy has made
in the last few days give the allied
high command no reason to fear. as
they are considered hqe only the fluc-
uations of battle.
The Germans, Notwithstanding their
terrific losses, will not give up their
attempt to break our lines nor will
they realize that such an sttempt Is
now doomed to failure. Both French
and British at the present hold good
positions in most parts dominating the
German ones.
1t is reported that some OF the
French heavy batteries have not been
fired yet, so that should the Germans
ever meet us within their range the
battle will reduce itself to an abso-
lutte slaughter Of the Germans. 1t is
also said the Germans have brought up
some naval guns with which they in.
tend to lombard the railroad but this
does not trouble the French or British.

tree that has fallen across the path
OF democracy. The trunk Is being
chopped through by two axes. the mill.
tary ax and the propaganda ak.
II the trunk Is to be severed and
the obstruction removed. neither OK
must be spared. Americans must con-
tribute willingly to help their allies,
to support their army and navy, which
will be the deciding military factor in
the struggle.
Our American president was the
first world statesman to make clear
that while a military victory Is es-
%sential, 1t Is not in Itself adequate.
The great significance Of this wal
lies not on the battle lines, but behind
them. 1t Is a war for human liberty,
and that which restricts human
liberty, not only In the German en-
pire, but also In America and England
and France and Italy and Russia
must be abolished. We are beginning
to perceive that the future progress

ton scientifically conceived.
Issued World Proclamation.
In a series Of mastery state papers
Mr.. Wilson has announced to the world
that America enters the war unselfsh-
~, and has defined the true issue
for all the peoples of the earth-even
for those deluded portions Of the Ger
man population which, because Of a
false system Of education, have hith-
erto upheld the hands Of the worst
enemies of liberty. the junkers. Until
quite recently, n Of the most dis
quieting symptoms from the point OF
view of the allies was a discomfort
with, II not an actual opposition to, the
war Of large elements among the work
Ing classes Of the allied peoples. In
Russia, where democracy was most
cruelty suppressed, where conditions
for the peasant and the workingman
were hardest, a revolution actually
took place-a revolution that has
sounded the keynote Of u times. The
world service which our president is
doing is that Of enlisting the ale
glance Of those masses for the war.
He Is convincing them that It Is their
war. And these are they upon whom
the evils Of an outwOrd economic sys-
tenn have pressed hardest, and WHO
hitherto have e little ASpe that VIC
tory over the Germans meant their
own dellverance. Mr.. Wilson has is
sued a world proclamation Of emanci-
patton from economic slavery.
Make Their Own Treaties.
He not only declares that powerful
nations shall cease to exploit little ma
tons, but that powerful individuals
shall cease to exploit their fellow men.
He declares that henceforth no wars
shall be fought for domination, and
that to this end secret treaties shall
be abolished. The peoples through
their representatives shall make their
own treaties. And Just as national
democracy insures to the individual
the greatest amount of self-determina-
lion, Of self-realization, world democ-
racy shall insure self-determlnntion to
the individual nations Of the earth, in
order that each may be free to make
It's own contribution to world democ-
racy.
