French CAPTURE FOE EYEGLASSES

for nearly three months. German at
tacks and French counter-attacks, al
most daily since the latter part Of
August, have had small place in the
cOmmunique because of their routine
nature. The enemy's positions permit
ted him to make constant infantry
''nibbles" into the French lines on the
northern flank of Hill 344, and to dis
turb French organization which he
could see in the rear.
Surprise Attack Successful.
French strategy in eliminating the
enemy's advantageous positions in the
region of Hill 344 has probably never
been employed before in this war. TAX
ing advantage of the conditions pecu-
liar to the region, French guns of many
calibers at 6 80 Sunday, morning. No
vember Is, concentrated their deluge
of steel on a three and one-half kilo-
maer front opposite Hill 344. The
thunder of this artillery preparation,
though violent, was unnoticed amid the
constant medley of air vibrations
which had become habit to German
ears for almost three months.
Just four hours after the begin
ming of the concentration of fire,
screened by its own habitual noise, at
10 80 a. m. the French guns heightened
their range, and barraged the German
rear while the Poilus went over the
top. The surprise was complete. The
advantageous positions which 1t had
taken the enemy over eight weeks to
gain were wiped out In not much more
than eight minutes.

Paris, July 2.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press) - Ru-
mania's toll of deaths since her en-
trance into the war, in August. 1910,
has been more than 100000 per-
sons, or about II per cent of the
total population. This probably is
a higher percentage of mortality
than in any other country OF like
size.
War, famine, disease and starva-
ton claimed the largest percentage
of the deaths, while large per-
centage of them were prisoners OF
war, officers as well as men, who
were put to death. These facts were
brought to Paris by Col. X. Rossetti

Amsterdam, July 22.-(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press)
The moral deterioration of the
German nation in consequence of
wartime trials is greatly troubling
clear-minded observers OF the
Fatherland The Lutheran Synod of
Berlin the other day called special
meeting to discuss how TO deal with
the dissolute ways OF the thousands
of young munition workers, male
and female, who habitually squander
their high wages in riotous living
and immoralty. 1t was agreed that
most of the youth of the country
seemed to be entirely beyond con-
troll.
Much has already been written
about the unsafety of the public
streets, and the general callous in
difference to the sufferings of others,
This seems to apply to the whole of
Germany.
Every mans hand seems to be
against his neighbor", the Cologne
Gazette despairingly exclaims. and
it devotes a whole article to the in
tense if latent anger of the populace
at the extortions to which it is sub
iected by the unscrupulous methods
of tradesmen, who, in their turn are
made the victims OF deficient govern
ment control and the usurious
Dractices of producers.
Popular discomfort is famed by
announcements Of eXtravagant pro-
fits such as those made by meat
firm which supplied the army. 1t OPP

faces OF their lessfavored fellow

restaurant calls for three times a

Another feature is the phenomenal
demand for real estate by war
profiteers whose aim is to become
'"lord OF a manor. The German
Tageszeitung the other day con-
tained no fewer than Is advertise
'ments for country seates wanted at

All these things serve to embitter
the helpless poorer classes to a de-
gree the danger OF which has not
escaped the attention Of the powers

the growing popular discomfort over
the food difficulties.
Even the Rhenish Westphalian
Gazette, which gives publicity to this
interesting piece OF news, expresses
the fear that the last few months
preceding the harvest will be an eX-
ceedinglv trying time. and for this
reason the war food department
wishes to remain in constant touch
with the minor clergy, so as to have
the benefit of their observations
among the people.

apparently merciful. although in
reality making concession in order

Congress, the prohibition advocates
allowed a provision to be inserted
in the amendment which makes it
effective one year after ratification.
There was also another unusual
provision inserted with a view of
defeating the amendment, which
declares that it shall be imperative
unless ratified within seven years
from the date of submission. That
provision was allowed to be made

American Principles

The appeal to America TO 90 over
and fipht in large way on European
soil involved two great victories,
one immediate and the other pro-
spective. The immediate victory
was that of the democratic cause
among the Allies. Without selfish
ness and at profound sacrifice,
America accepted the call to send
her sons TO fight in Europe. In a
seperate quarrel of our own, we
should have had no more fear of
Germany than Of Turkey. For a
number of decades we have looked
on at the dangerous rivalry of the
empire. builders of Europe, meddling
everywhere and embroiling all
peoples. Our principles are definite
ly understood by the Allies. And
thew know that America goes to
Europe solely on the understanding
that we are to have henceforth a
world safe for small peoples;
league of democratic self governing
nations; the principle of trusteeship
over backward regions, rather than
that of possession and exploitation.
This is the first great victory, and
it was won when America changed
her program at the appeal of the
Allies and began to ship troops so
fast as 10 justify the statement that
we were sending "an army each
month" For a long time the Allies
had not coOpeTated, because they
were Cghting What should have
been a good common cause, with
