THE situation in a nutshell is that
the allies and the United States
realize the appalling cost Of a COM
plete victory over Germany. AS much
as they would like to unborn the Kali
ser and his crowd, they now hesitate
for the first time. A nigh military
authority recently said: IF we are
honest with ourselves, we must realize
that the task ahead of our allies and
ourselves is one Of greater magnitude
than has generally been dreamed OF.
The west front is nearly granite"
There may be much pickering about
peace terms, but many of our most
intelligent, best posted Americans be-
lieye the end of the war is in sight.
Peace may not come for months; it
may be that there may be one or two
great offensives on the western front,
nevertheless the dove Of peace for the
first time is now looking for a place
to light. It's clearly up to Germany.
The allies and the United States will
meet her half way If Germany shows
the same willingness to be fair, the
war is a matter of months, and may
be weeks. If she is headstrong and
unreasonable, the United States and
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-01-24

no you realize that the peace news
is most significant? According to
reports of smart business men who
have recently returned from the East
there is strong feeling that the war
will end the coming summer. Not
only is this belief expressed in the
large cities, but even in Washington
official circles this belief is openly
expressed and predicted. The basis
for this sentiment is found in the
war aims recently announced by our
own president and Lloyd George of
England While there is still much
camoufiage in the language of the
diplomats, there is no question but
there is now willingness on the part
of Great Britain, France and the Unit
ed States to more than meet the kais-
err half way. In his recent public
statement of war aims, Lloyd George
said:
One regrettable omission we notice
in the proposal of the Central Powers.
We believe great attempt must be
made to establish great international
organization as a means of settling
international disputes. War is a relic
of barbarism and, as law has sue
ceeded violence in the settlement of
individuals disputes, so it is destined
to settle national controversies.
We are fighting for just and last
ing peace. Three conditions must be
fulfilled. Firstly, the sanctity of
treaties re-established; secondly ter
ritorial settlement based on the right
of self determination or the consent
of the governed; lastly, creation of
an international organization to limit
ornaments and diminish the probable
ity of war.
These are the fundamentals as out
lined by Lloyd George and there is
little doubt but that Germany will
agree to them in the end. All clear
men agree that the allies and
the United Statets will adopt give
and take policy at a peace meeting,
except as Belgium is concerned.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-01-24

Great Britain will whip her if it takes
ten years. There will be no let-up in
war preparations, but in London,
Washington, Paris and Berlin the
peace bug is bringing hope and cour-
age to the war weary.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-01-24

ON the other hand, quite number
Of equally prominent and well in
formed men take a different view. An
eastern paper recently told of two
men who recently came home from
the war front and from "inside" sour
ces of knowledge agree that the war
is not over by long shot. Thos w.
Lamont, of the J. p. Morgan firm,
says that we must prepare for three
more campaigns-1918, 10 and 20.
Governor Beckman of Rhode Island
says we will not win until there are
3 million American soldiers cover
there" Most American business men
by the New York Evening
Post in its annual financial review,
agreed in the prophecy that the war
will end in 1919. On the other hand
london financial leaders, in the same
edition, agree almost as one man that
he war will probably end some time
n 1920.

THE present crusade to abolish the
German language and literature is
of course favored by the war temper,
the prejudice and antipathy towards
all things German, and while such an
attitude of mind prevails the propa
ganda to expel German from educa-
tional curriculums will have consider
able success. 1t will not in any event
have permanence. The language and
literature of the German race, now
spoken by 100 million people, will live,
and those who think to blot them out
of existence by ignoring them will
only deprive themselves and those for
whose education they are responsible
of one of the sources of knowledge
and power.

at noon had only a narrow gateway
open to them for retreat toward the

Americans in Allied Advance
Meantime the French and British
and Americans from the Pacific
coast and Ohio along the Deynze-
Avelghem front in Belgium continu-
ed successfully the advance begun
yesterday morning. The heavy en-
envy resistance encountered on this
sector yesterday died out during the
night.
The main attack at Valenciennes
vas south of the city, just above Fa-
mars. The Canadians, who engi-
neered the drive, we're supported by
n of the heaviest artillery bonn
bardments of the war. The gunfire
was terrific, and this made the go
ing easy for the overseas infantry
which followed.
The idea of the Canadians in US
ing this great barrage was to crush
the resistance Is quickly as possible,
so as to a v Allied lives. The bonn
bardment had the desired effect, for
the opposition offered by the enemy
was not strong, and the Canadians
pushed rapidly through to their
objjectlves which gave them the
whole of the railway line running
south from Valenciennes,
The enemy's casualties were heavy
and the little Rhonelle river was
lined with German dead. About
noon the enemy massed for counter
attacks from Saultain. According
to the latest reports the Canadian
artillery was dealing with the pro-
jected assault.
At the same time the Canadians
attacked with other British troops
and drove forward north of the city
and forced a crossing of the Scheldt.
Audennarde was gravely threatened
to-day.
