AT THE TURNING POINT.

After a week of the hardest kind of fighting, where little or no considera- tion has been given to the sacrifices made and most of the territory which was abandoned by Hindeaburg last year has been recovered. everything points to the fact that the force of the German drive has been spent and that the fresh reserves. of the British and French which they have per- sistently kept out of the fighting are being brought up for the expected counter attacks.
 Without doubt the German offensive has thus proved to be a failure The !. object thereof as worked out by Field Marshal HindenbHrg and his subordi- mates was to break through the Brit ish line and separate the armies of Field Marshal Haig from those of the French commander chief, and by pushing on to Anaiens, an important Faflnoad center, get into a position moi only to strike at the north coast oi France but to move onto Paris from new angle.
 In spite of all the men which were brought up for this assault the artil- .lery and other preparations, they have not succeeded. They have been able to bend the allied line and in six days push it back a distance of 2t miles but the front remains intact. No where have they been able to gel through and nowhere have they reut, ed the allies. On the other hand where the Teatonic forces have beer weakened by the great losses whicf they have sustained and the distanct they have gone, the allies, in accord. ance with the strategy of their com [ nanders. are in a position to admin ister return blow which bids fair t, greatly offset all that has been gaine. 4 by the enemy. With the opening O the counter attacks the British am French are due for their innings.

 HOLLAND, AND GERMAN PRoPA' GANDA.

Excellent foundation exists for the belief that the criticism which has been indulged in in Holland as the re- suit of the taking of Dutch shipping by the United States has been inspired by German propaganda and a lack of understanding of the position which ilas bee2. taken by this country.
 This is evidenced by the statements which come from The Hague to the effect that the feeling is subsiding and that sane and sensible view of the matter is being taken by the people of that country following a chance tc study the statement which Presiden1 Wilson has made, il regard to the ae- ton of this country.
 Germany of course did its utmost te poison the minds of the Dutch feia- tive to the communicating of it's ships It even went so far as to threater Holland with reprisals because it hat been playing into the hands of tht allies and if the reports are true it i: going to shut of all coal to Holland the first of the month beeaRse it: ships have been taken, even though 11OtAct4tG Wdo lOl c par " AO Q1iy d6ANCs ment.

 The changed attitude of the Dutcl makes it evident that they are no going to be hoodwinked by any sue false representation. They naturaH want to retain their vessels, but nov that they realize the conditions unde which they have been taken they can not fail to appreciate that 1t is by ia preferable to their destruction with out recompense by the Germans.

TO WIN WE MUST PREPARE.

Much attention must have been given to the recommendations which have been made to the senate mili- tary committee by General Wood be- cause of the knowledge which he is recognized as possessing regarding such matters and because of his bet ter understanding of the situation as the result of his recent visit to the battlehelds in Europe.
 General Wood has long been an ad- rocate of universal military training. believing that 1t is a preparation which is of vital importance to the safety of the nation and the mainte- nance of peace once it is established. He has stood for large army, and to- Bay knowing as he does what the sit- nation is in Europe in regard to mili- tary power and with no small idea as fo the strength and determination ot the enemy he believes that this coun. fry will not be doing its part until fl
 has an army of two and 8 half miller
 men in Europe and an equal number . under training in this country. Sucf
 an army it must be realized is no
 large when the size of this country it
 taken into consideration and 1t is rec,
 ognfzed that the countries of Europ, have already with smaller populationl put a much greater number of me, { into the field.
 The whole point of General Woodi , statement is that if we are going int, this conflict to win, and that certainI, . is our object, we must make adequat preparations in advance. We eanno wait until such an army is actual, needed to keep the enemy from ou { shores before calling out that numbe < of men, and it is of especial import ance at this very time when congres

 This will mean of course that there will be further piling up of wheat in that country for the reason which has prevailed in the past that there are net ships enough to carry it away.

All these were either working at manual labor themselves or experimenting gangs of civilian laberers for whom they had obtained permission to enter the war zone for the purpose of carrying out this very urgent work.
 The first thing done, in each de- stroyed village is to erect OF repair a small number of houses and buildings to fern a centre around which the later operations can be carried on. A temporary city hall, a school, and a general store make the nucleus and around them are built series of pro- yisionai shelters for the inhabitants

 rear and for this the military authori- l ties provide transport.

Anti. semetic Aaitation.

The Jewish Correspondence Bureau at The Hague reports that the anti Semitic agitation in the Potish papers is assuming forms which were for merly possible only in reactionary Russia" The agitation, it is stated, is directed especially against the sale of land to the Jews. Newspapers are publishing the names of those who have been guilty of such crime"
 The bureau prints from an extract from an article in the Le1nberg Tage- blatt describing as pitiable the plight of the Jews living at Beiz in Galacia. The Jews, it says, are obliged to live in houses little better than ruins, One of them collapsed during a storm on January IS, killing ten persons. The food ticket system, it adds, is | another source of hardship to the Jews. In some Galacian towns a Jew gets only forty ounces of rye our per I week while others get four pounds ] The same discrimination against them 1 is shown in the distribution of coa1 and salt.
 If this wrong be not soon stopped

 How difficult is the task of recon structing the districts devastated by the Germans during their retreat of last March is demonstrated by the fact that of the 19 900 houses destroyed and $500 damaged in the department of the Semme only $50 have been recon stfucted during the ten months since elapsed. Approximately the same state of affairs prevails in the department of the Oise
 To provide for the immediate wants Of the population, however 1,500 por- table houses have been erected in the Somne and it is estimated that an average of 200 more can be put up each month.
 Every kind of labor available is en- plpyed in the work. and in the midst of the heaps of bricks and stones may be met squads of soldiers, gangs of workmen connected with the Depart ment of Roads and Bridges, and pris- oners of war, although the latter are always engaged at a distance of at least 20 miles from the firing line. l Among all these working forces are seen representatives of French, Ameri- can and British charitable organiza- tions which have undertaken to assist i in the reconstruetion work by the giY- 1 ing of funds and by labor.
