Summer Resorts in Germany.
NOrW9.prtS.1

For the better-p placed classes the question of getting over the period of the most wretched food conditions has been made comparatively easy. The travel and holiday season has begun and anybody who can possibly do so pa cks his bag and makes for those dis tricts of the German empire in which even now one hardly notices that There is a. war. The inhabitants of such dis tricts are indeed fully conscious of their value. Places which in times of peace never imagined that they ranked among the health resorts" are now getting the same prices as Ostend and Scheveningen. For these prices. how ever, they supply the summer visitor with absolutely everything. When the sunburnt traveller returns he says with pride: You must go to ------. It comes high, but everything is perfect. Two glasses of milk in ithe morning, three eggs for breakfast and meat every day for dinner

 peated Blows of Allies

London, Aug. 10.--In the opinion of military observers here, the blow delivered by the Allies yesterday is regarded not merely as an attempt to break through the German lines but as part of a great strategic plan which is being carried out by Field Marshal Foch. Having obtained the initiative by his victory in the A1sne- Marne salient; EE has now struck on the Picardy front for the purpose of relieving Amiens from danger and recovering perfect freedom of maneu- yer.
 Not only Is the German retreat across the Aisne embarrassed, but Ludendorff's position is threatened by the present offensive. If the Allied drive is pushed far enough the Gers mans may be compelled to withdraw from the apex of the Montdtdier salt- ent, which has threatened both Paris and Arniens. rf
 Some of the more optimistic in British military circles regard the vic tory as the turning point of the years s campaign and perhaps even the turn ing point of the whole war. It was only a month ago that all the talk of the British military critics was whether the AIies could hold on in the face of the great German offen- sive which the German people had been told was to finish the war The initiative has now been taken from the enemy, and within the month the Allies have engaged in two important battles with conspicuous success.
 It is not too much to say that the American Army has been the chief factor ine this result. The military critic of the Westminster Gazette says only what all soldiers who have seen American mettle put to the test are saying-that the American troops are equal to any in the world. The moral effect of their appearance in France, even though 8 comparatively small proportion of them is yet on the fighting line; has been the transform alton in the British and French armies of determination to resist into the confidence of victory. %s
 The fact that the task of directing the attack was intrusted to Field Mar shal Haigs has caused much gratitica~ ton in London and points to a new development in the principle of unity of command. a%

THE DOCTORS PROMISE.

A doctor now overseas wrote g. message to a friend on this side in quiring whether his colleagues at home are living up to their promise to turn over to the enlisted doctors wives and children, one-third of the fees collected by them. There is sup posed to be an agreement among physicians to this effect, but judging from the tone of the letter penned by the doctor overseas, some of the pro- fession who have not enlisted are fail ing to live up to their promise. We do not know. however that such is the case in New Britain. We prefer to believe that physicians and sur geons in this city who are not fn1AAe service would not take advantage of the situation and profit at the expense of colleagues who are across the ocean or in base hospitals in this country. We think that doctors in New Britain are too honorable to stoop to such despicable methods of Increasing their incomes. and we feel sure that if they agreed to take over the practice of friends in the profes- sion while the latter are away they will live up to the terms of such an agreement.

There are scores of girls in town who have no dependents and who could very well follow the example of those others who have already offered their serv- ices. It is amazing to observe the number of female graduates Of the high school and of colleges who are doing almost nothing to help win the war. They should let others, not qualified as they are, attend to the knitting, etc. and file application at once for admitance to a training school for nurses.
 It may come to pass that if there is not a better response to the call, the Government may compel young ladies without dependents to take up this work. If boys can be drafted for army service, why should not girls, who are not required at home, be in ducted to fill the gaps caused by the departure of trained nurses to the battlefield?

GERMANY SURRENDERS.
The Greatest War in History
Closed Monday, Nov. II.

The following is taken from the
Associated Press reports:
After 1,567 days the greatest war
in history ended this morning at six
o'clock, Washington time.
Announcement of the tremendous
event was made at the state depart
ment at 2:45 and in a few seconds
was flashed throughout the con-
tinent by the Associated Press.
At five o'clock, Paris time, Ger
many's delegates signed the docu-
ment which blasted forever the
dreams which embroiled the world
in struggle which has cost, at the
lowest estimate, ten million lives.
When the war began the Teuton-
ic alliance was headed by two of
the proudest houses in history, the
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs.
Today, William of Germany is a
fugitive in Holland and Charles of
Austria, while he may be in his
country, has been stripped of power
and has seen his empire shattered
in pieces.
Ferdinand of Bulgaria has fled
from his country, and Mohmmed of
Turkey is dead, at hands of assassin.
Much of proud Germany is in the
hands of revolutionists.
AS the last hours of the mighty
combat drew near, the French,
British and Americans were rapidly
pushing the last German troops
from France and Belgium.
1t is suggested that William
Hohenzolleran isn'tsafe even though
he has fled.
After the sinking of the Lusitania
and during the early days of the
aerial raids on London he was in
dicted thrice for murder.
Under international law requi-
sition for his extradition may be
made by England.
Slgnlng OF tne arHalSClce uoeSn
mean that the great American mill
tary machine will cease operating
at once. America must play an i'm
portant part in disarming and guard
ing the enemy and until this work
is completed, even the movement of
troops to France will continue, al
though on a greatly reduced scale.
