Editor Dear Old Register Once on
a time we noticed in your columns a
statement to the effect that you
couldn't understand Socialism; that It
Scattered too much at the climax
Right now, however, that,the. climax
has almost been reached, as far as the
railroads and coal mines are con.
cerned, there doesn't seem to be any
scattering; at least, none that you
could notice. No; Government regu'
lati9n, with the ownership still in
private hands, isn't Socialism, but /,
shows that private ownership fails
just when the need IL greatest, and

tactless handling of the food crisis.
Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey, the
Czechs and Jugo-Slavs are already

prospective spells in the Balkans.
In Germany Herr Scheidemann de-

With the British Army in France,
April 29.-By one of those back-to-the-
wall stands for which they have been
famous in this war, the Franco-Brit-
ish forces have saved the situation In
the Ypres sector from turning into
success for the Germans after the
loss by the allied forces Of the domi-
mating peak Of KENNEL.
The entire allied line in France and
Flanders still stands firmly. Nowhere
have the Germans been able to make
a further dent In 1t. Hard fighting
has been in progress on the Ypres sec
tor, around Voormezeele, and to the
south of L6cre. Both places have sew
eral times changed hands, but at last
reports Voormezeele had been recap
tured by the British, but the Germans
had obtained another foothold in 10
cre.. Voormezeele was taken by the
Germans Saturday, but the British in
a night attack won it back and since
have held it, inflicting heavy casual
ties on the Germans in renewed eff
forts to take the place.
Thus the enemy was brought to a
standstill, and Saturday morning did
not bring with 1t any resumption of
his infantry attacks.
The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line. but every
where have been repulsed, notably in
the st. Mihiel and Luneville sectors,
where recently American troops were
stationed.
