WORLDS GREATEST BATTLE
REACHES SECOND STAGE IN
EIGHT-DAY FIGHT IN FRANCE

The great battle that has been rag
ing between the central powers and
the British and Great Britain's allies
during the past week is fraught with
almost ncomprehensible possibilities.
AS suggested by the ST. Paul Dis
patch, the soil of France has soaked
up the blood of the worlds decisive
battles"
Chalons, Tours, Orleans, Valmy and
Sedan mark turning points in the
worlds history The outcome of the
terrific struggle tking place,that
has been taking place for days. on
French said again today may point
to domination by autocracy for gen
erations yet to come, or-it may indi-
cate the beginning Of the end of au-
tocracy and the consequent triumph
of the principles Of democracy.
But, regardless of the present issue,
unless the Germans shall put the
British and the French and the few
Americans now on French soil to ut
ter rout and thus crush the allied ar
mics. with Overwhelming force. the
conflict will go on. America, thus
far unable to lend more than mere
nominal assistance on the field of
strife, will proceed uninterruptedly
with its preparations for settling, once
for all, the principles Of self-govern-
ment and in the establishment Of ma
tional freedom from needless warfare.

Battle Opens.

Since the practical elimination of
Russia from the war, the Germans
have been bringing all their strength
TO bear upon the front in France. It
had been expected for weeks that the
foe would assume the offensive with
the opening of spring.
That assumption was justified last
Thursday when, reported to be under
the personal command of Emperor
William, the Germans began the
greatest offensive in all history. In
superior numbers and numerically su-
perior guns, they succeeded in driv-
ing back the English from the first
lines.
The FIRST reports that came over
the wires indicated the piercing Of
i the British lines, and the newspapers
throughout America so announced. @
Fortunately these headlines were
more pessimistIc than the facts war
ranted While somewhere In the
neightborhood OF 25 900 British. with
from 200 to 600 guns, fell into Ger
man hands, the British, for the most
part, fell back with order and accord

the fire became too hot
The British lines. therefore, that
