With the British defending the
channel ports. the French defending
Paris along the centre of the line and
the Americans 10 the south and east
over inside of Germany, the general
aims OF the leading Allies would seem
TO bc apparent. The first aim of the
British and French is the defense OF
their respective vitals, while the
Americans. with nothing to defend,
are headed in the direction OF Berlin.
From the way things look now the
Germans are going to wear them
selves down against the British and
French and about that time the
Americans are going To push further
into Alsacc. This will bring ;hr
German armies facing the British and
French back into Germany to oppose
American aggression and the British
and French will at once begin increas-
ing the pressure on the retiring Ger
mans.

Senator Il. K. Tillman has .

Senator B. K. Tillman has sustained
another stroke OF paralysis. and iS
now believed To l." lying AT III" point
of death. The attack came last
Thursday. shortly after IN" clos" OF
the business day at the capitol. Tn"
senator desired To return to work ON
Friday: hut Mrs. Tillman persuaded
him not TO try TO do so. Tie becam"
decidedly worse on Saturday, and on
Sunday family and friends decided 1t
was hest TO let the public know the
true condition of the sufferer. The
attending physicians hold out no hope
that the senator will recover: hut
aS To how long he will probably last
cannot bc stated with any d"Src" OF

\ speech in which Won kuclhman.
the German foreign secretary Il few
days ago told the rcichstag that il is
useless to expect peace through
decision alone. is regarded as
one of the most significant develop
mcnts OF the year up to this time,
Hardly less important was another
statement in the same speech to the
effect that Russia was responsible for
the precipitation OF the war. Here
tofore the German leaders have been
placing the blame for the war on Eng
land and telling their people that Ger
man arms would impose strictly
German peace. Everybody knows. OF
course. that Germany alone is respon-
Sible for the war: but this disposi-
tion TO absolve England and to re-
cede from the idea Of German military
invincibility. is Indicative that at las,
Germany is coming TO her senses with
q disposition to agree on some kind
of terms.
