"ashineion. April l7-Further re-
stftction of the countrys less essen
tial industries which will drasticauv
limit non war building operations for
the duration of the war was announc-
ed today by the fuel administration in
the issuance of orders curtailing the
manufacture of ten principal clay pro
ducts, from Is to as high 80 per cent.
simultaneously the manufacturing
program of this industry was ordered
rearansed aud divided. placing it on
the hasi, of war industry. Face brick,
common and paving brick, terra cot
IA. roofing tile. floor and wall tile and
sanitaryware are ordered curtailcd 80
per cent; hollow tile, sewer pipe and
drain tile % per cent, and stone
ware with the exception Of chemical
stoneware is curtailed 15 per cent
Another new order curtais the output
of enamelware 50 per cent.
The percentage Of curtailment in
each case is based on the average
output for the past three years
Today's action by the fuel admin
ietration, which was approved by the
war idustries board. is declared to be
the torcrunner Of similar curtailment
of practically every industry consid-
cred not vital to the war program.
Two important things viii be accom-
pIshcd, in the lelief of the fuel ad-
ministratiOn. and the war industries
board Parts Of the plants affected
will be converted for war industries
and men, material and transportation

tion
That the production of all building
materials eventually may be substan-
TALLY curtailcd was discussed by the
statement accompanying todays or
ders. Clay products and other build
ing material, the statement said, are
a greater tax ON transportation and
fuel than any other industry, and
while these industries are considered
OF great importance to the life of the
country mad essential to the war, re
organization was considered neces-
sary.
Further explaining the action the
statement added:
The experience of the past year
has brought two facts clearly to the
front First that as far as possible the
new war work must be put into old
factories and TO take the place of less
essertiM production This method OF
producing war supplies prevents
building problems, housing problems
and transportation problems which
necessarily follow the setting up of
new plants for war production. Sec

dustlies 10 make deliberate sacrifices
Of part of their ordinary business.
in order that there may be transporta-
tiou. men and materials enough for
war production
"Tho aim has been to conserve the
larger interests Of the trade involved.
Eou5! treatment for all plants is pro
vided wherever possible Allowance,
however. is made in the plan for reor-
qanzng Individual instances where an
abundance OF fuel and absence OF con
eestion make it desirable that larger

GERMANY'S LAST Blow THE COMING ATTA(

when the United States is at last ready.
Now, the next question is, patiently:
Where on the French front will the Ger
mans attack? Either in Champagne or
in Lorraine, the majority of observers be-
licve; possibly in both places Rheims and
Nancy are the two detectives most gen.
orally suggested, not as ultimate but as
immediate detectives. That the Germans
will attack west of the Disc, where the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-20

Now, the French position about verdun
is such that were the Germans able to
break through tho French line both west
and east of the Meuse stronghold great
and disastrous retreat would follow. A
double success both in the dusty" Cham
payne and, say, about St. Mihiel would
compel the French to retire from the
Meuse and breach the whole wall of nat
ural defences from Verdun southwark.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-20

British will probably take over French po-
sitions, if they have not done so already, is
improbable. That they will attack the
Chemin-des-Dam front, where the
French have all the high ground, is un-
likely, when it is recalled how desperate
was the German resistance there for more
than three years.
In the same fashion we may rule out the
front from the western end of the Ar
gonne to the southern defences of Verdun.
Germany has tested these defences in two
great attacks, in the Argonne in 1914 and
1915 and about Verdun in 1916, and the
French have been able to retain or regain
all the vital POSITIONS In the same fash
ion we may rule out the Vosges front,
which offers too great natural obstacles to
any offensive on the present scale. Even
the Belfort gap is unlikely to be assailed,
because its strength and the proximity of
Switzerland would combine to hamper the
Germans.

The Point Of Assault

One does not prophesy, but the condi-
tons of the contest are plain. The Ger
mans will be able to put superior numbers
and, for the moment, superior artillery al,
the point or points on the French front
which they select for battering. If the
French hold as they did at Verdun, the re-
suit will be a colossal German defeat how
ever great the French losses. If, as the
Germans assent, France cannot stand this
new sacrifice, we shall see break. and
Germany will win the war. But if we see
another Verdun, Germany will have shot
her bolt, and she will seek a NEGOTIATED
peace next fall on far different terms from
any she has yet suggested, with the pur-
pose to avoid an Allied attack in 1919

senes

sincere sentiment was discoverable in Ger
many, have abandoned such a view in the
face of German maneuvres at Brest-
Litovsk. In Germany victory in Italy and
the ruin of Russia have similarly put the
situation in the hands of those who be-
lieve in fight to finish.
As in 1914
Thus, after three and half years of
war the great antagonists face each other
in something the same mood as in August,
1914. Nothing is decided, because the Ger
man has not been beaten absolutely or
worn down by the struggle sufficiently to
be willing to abandon his grandose plan
for world supremacy. With all due allow
ances for changes incident to the great
prolongaton Of the contest, the conditions
Of the campaign of 1918 are the condi-
tons of the campaign Of 1914; the Ger
man is coming West again, as he came be-
fore, to win the war, to dispose of France
and to establish himself in the place his
super-patriots have demanded for half a
century.
The Greatest Contest
We arc, then, so far as one can accu-
rately foretell the future, on the threshold
of one of the greatest contests, perhaps
the greatest, of human history. If the
German wins outright he will win the war,
he will impose his terms upon vanquished
France and Britain, and he will be able to
do this without regard to the United
States, because there is not the least hope
that we shall have the men or the material
to play any greatly useful role in this su-
preme campaign. We shall be quite as
helpless as the British in the first five
months of the Battle of Verdun, and I'M
able to make any contribution to the Allied
cause comparable with that made by Brit
ain in those memorable months.
There arises, then, the question, When
will Germany strike? She struck at Yer
dun in late February But she was COM
PEELED to strike in an unfavorable time for
campaigning, because both Britain and
Russia were preparing to strike in the late
spring and it was essential to dispose of
France before either of her other great
foes was ready. But all through the Ver-
dun operations, from February to April,
Germany was handicapped by weather.
Her offensive was slowed down at times by
the weather conditions on the Mouse hills.
This was not decisive factor in her de-
feat, but it had a limited Importance.
No Winter Campaign
And, with the exception of the Verdun
operation, we have had no great winter
campaign in the West The Battle of
Ypres ended in the middle of November;
all operations until the last days of April,
1915. were minor and local. The cam
paign of 1915 ended in October with the
close of the battles of Loos and Cham
payne. The campaign of 1916 ended with
the British victory at Beaumont Hamel,
