failure on either flank will precipitate
a colossal capture Of German troops and
the substantial elimination of the fight
ing forces of the German Empire.
1t is with this situation in their eyes
that the German government and the
German people will receive the armistice
terms of nations fighting them. In q
similar situation Austria delayed too
long and had to make her submission
after the destruction of her army upon
the battlefield. Hesitation in Germany
now may remove the last frail barrier
which intervenes between the Allies and
a complete military decision.
BY contrast, if German generals can
extricate their armies from the present
critical posture then they will be able to
draw them back behind the very solid
obstacle which the Meuse River consti-
tutes from Mezieres to the Dutch from
tier and extend this position southwark
behind the Chiers to the Metz-Thion-
vile system Of defences. In this latter
case they can well expect to hold their
new front until the coming Of spring,
for the end of campaigning weather is
certainly at hand and all advantages Of
position will be with the enemy, if he
gets off now.
And in this state of facts we may ex-
pect that the German will postpone his
surrender for the balance of the non
campaigning season. He will use the
respite allowed him by the season and
the successful retirement of his troops to
the Meuse line to endeavor to modify
the terms of his enemies by using diplo-
matte rather than military weapons.
But he will do this with the full recog-
milton that if he fails then he must ac-
cept the Allied terms before the spring
campaign can open or endure complete
military defeat in the next campaign.
We have the three possibilities: I'M
mediate military disaster now, with
necessarily prompt surrender, such as
Austria has made under similar condi-
tions; a successful escape from the
present peril and diplomatic campaign
during the months Of military stagna-
tion; finally, after the winter peace
offensive, surrender in advance of the
opening of the campaign of 1919. But
most depends now upon the events of the
next few hours; the greatest Prussian
disaster since Jena, the possibility of
new Sedan, German this time, is in full
view-and Pershing's army is sure to
be in at such death
The battle now in progress is the
fourth in the Foch series, the three pre-
ceding have been the Second Marne, the
Third Somme and the Battle Of tho Hin
denburg Line. The new battle is the
Battle Of the Belgian Frontier, and it
corresponds roughly to that series Of
battles in the fourth week Of August.

BANKER BACkUS

Banker Backus, Seattle member OF the capital
issues advisory committee, bit of explanation
to Seattle. - .
He declares he is not opposed to the Skagit
site; that he is opposing the Skagit bonds only to
the extent Of opposing financial deals that do not
contribute directly to the winning of the war
Let us see about that. In the first place, If the
city is not going to be protected to its light and
power facilities. by means of the Skagit or other
site. war industry in Seattle may be brought to
dead stop almost any day.
In the second place, is Banker Backus entirely
sincere in that statement?
Did he or did he not oppose the floating OF
twelve and half million dollars in bonds for the
Puget Sound Traction Co.?
The traction company DID get approval for
floating its bonds but the city did not get that
proval vet Is the traction company plant con-
tributing more to the winning of the war than the
city light and power plant?
People who live in glass houses should pull the
window shades down.
Banker Backus might well withdraw his ham
mer against the Skagt until after he satisfactorily
explains his personal investments and building opera
tons of late viii that building Second ave,
which Banker Backus recently purchased go to win
the war?
Or will it merely profits to Backus?
Or did Banker Backus think he was helping win
the war when he decided to enlarge his own large
residence a few weeks ago, and took labor and money
to do that?
This war is going to be won-and it will be won
in spite Of officious meddling by opponents of mu
nicipal and government ownership.

has had its attacks. Beginning with
1881 this country has had five cpidem-

There is no occasion for panic-influ-

of fatalitieS-nOt over one death out
Of every 400 cases. according 10 the
y. &. board Of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in n rundown
condition-thOSe who don't so 10 bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, rs Ii is now called,
usually begins with n chill, followed by
aching, fcvcrishnCsS, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness. and n general
feeling Of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 TO lO4,
and the rrvcr usually lasts from three
To five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining Of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there Is usually n hard cough,
especially bad ut night oftcntimcs n
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of n severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed mt the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but To avoid
spreading the disease to otherS-take
Il purgative, eat plenty Of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dovcr's
Powders, etc, may be administered by

aching. But there is no IRE or spe-
cific for influenZa-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw Off the attack II only YOU keep
up your strength, The chief danger
lies In the complications which may
arise. Influenza Sc we0kenS the bodily
resistance that there is danger Of pneu.
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation Of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these rea'
sons IL is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns-Stay in bed ut least two days
or more after the fever has left you, or
If you are over so or not strong stay
In bed four days or more, according ia
the severity Of the attack.
