Previous to our advance two mines

road, one of the holes being sixty feet
across the top and thirty feet deep. The
engineering problem was to get traffic
around these great holes. as 1t was not
possible to build over them. To accom-
plish this the engineers made what Is
known as a. 'tshoofly" diversion around
the obstacles. This was accomplished In
thirty six hours. Subsequently bridges
were built across the holes.

that there will be only a nofnlhal
amount of opposition TO 1t.
Secretary Baker explained to the
committee that. although he has al
WAYS been opposed to lowering the
draft age below nineteen years, the

that 1t is necessary to so TO eighteen
wears. and for that reason he nearby
supported the new program.
Senator Reed questioned the WIS
dom OF the recent army order con-
soIidating all branches OF the service
into one army and eliminating the
entity Of the national guard, natlonal
army and regular army. He SAID ne
believed it would be better for the
morale of the country to have the
different units retain their indiVldudl
status Secretary Baker replied that
the change had been decided upon
after long consideration and was sup
ported by all the officials of the de-
partment
An interesting controversy was pro
iected into the consideration OF the
man power problem when Senator
Thomas. Of Colorado. introduced an
amendment which would he in effect

vide that under the work or fight
policy. men released from fighting TO
do essential work must keep on at

PEELED to join the ranks of the fighters.
The amendment was considered at
length but there was no decision

noeuvres of the allied forces, and for
every reason 1t might have been con
sidered that he would make the most
considerable efforts to retain the posi-
lions he had won, But the allied
blow was so surprising and so power
full that it has sent his forces back
over a wide area
The attack has done more than
demonstrate the ability of the allies
to take the offensive. 1t has made
plain once more the supreme value of
the unity of command. There is con-
fdence now that each operation is
part of the whole vast plan of cam
paiEn and not, as one critic puts it,
AN efferVescence on the general
scheme
Particularly welcome to the British
is the effect that after the fighting
of British troops under French COM
mand. French forces should now be
under Sir Douglas HaiE in the present
operations. This fact is taken as
further testimony TO the reality OF the
unity OF command, and some writer's
look for the time when both French
and British forces may also he fighting
under American generals.
The allied forces are one TODAY
without any questions of precedence
or any touch Of jealousy to disturb
the complete harmony Of their labors.
There is no disposition in the British
comment on the victory to anticipate
events or TO claim greater successes
than those who are contained in the
cautious official announcement.
1t is pointed out that there is no
question Of attempting to break
through the German lines. The point
which is insisted upon is that. by his
failure on the Marine. Iudendorf has
lost the initiative which has now pass
ed into the hands of the allies. They
have the chance now to force the
enemy to conform to their movements.
and it is not doubted that they will
retain this advantage. The present
operation IS regarded as evidence OF
the success is valued for the proof It
gives Of German inability to compel
the allies to await hostile attacks The
absence of strategical freedom has
been the chief trouble OF the allies
since the spring and the rejoicing over
the present turn of events Is founded
on the fact that they have now re-
covered that freedom
The news of the attack surprised
the people of England as thoroughly
as IL appears to have surprised the
Germans But now that attention has
been directed to this part of the line
IL is realized that the position of the
Germans in the bulge toward Mont
Older is likely TO become very uncom-
Portable before long
