An Old Cry Revived.

The campaign for control Of the next
House has revived an old cry: "The
south is in the saddle" The refer
ence is to the organization Of the pres
emit House, in which that section is very
prominent. Southern men fill the pick
Of the chairmanships, and are strong on
all the leading committees. A south.
ern man is Speaker, and another ID
clerk.
There il NO charge that these men
are incompetent for their places. On
the contrary, it is conceded that they
possess ability, and that the majority
are experienced legislators. Moreover,
it is incontcstable that they have reach
ed their eminence through the long
recognized rule Of seniority.
And, by the way, that rule win be
observed if the republicans come in.
Men Of long service, and by reason Of
it now high up in the minority ~.

vanced to chairmanships, or. in case Of
Itransfefs, 60 from good committees to

The Balkan Campaign.

Remarkable success is being achieved
by the Serbo- French forces now op-
Grating in Macedonia against the Bull
gar army. Today comes word that
the Bulgar forces, defeated in series
of battles, are in flight, losing enor-
mously in prisoners and materials,
burning towns in their retreat and Civ
ing evidences of Generalization.
Territorially these successes are most
gratifying, for they represent the re-
covery of Serbian soil. But they have
strategic value as we'll, for if con-
tinued they seriously menace the en-
tire position Of the central powers in
the east. At present their effect is to
flank the enemy in the Vardar valley,
which is the natural line of advance
for the allies into the Balkans and
toward the railroad to Constantinople
with Uskup as the immediate .objec-
tive point. The region is extremely
difficult for offensive operations and
correspondingly easy Of defense. It is
almost continuously mountainous, but
from the line of the present operations
to the Vardar run several valleys
through which the Bulgars are now
fleeing and which consequently afford
line of pursuit for the Serbs and
French.
Politically the defeat Of the Bulgar
forces in Macedonia may have most
important effect. Bulgaria is deeply
disconnected with her position. She is
today an unwilling ally Of the cen
trail powers. Heavy losses in the noun
tain campaign, with the allies in po'
sition to strike into her territory from
northeast Of Saloniki, may shake hel
allegiance seriously.

Belgium Rejects.

Belgium has decided, without elab.
oration," to refuse the offer reported
to have been made by Germany Of
peace based upon Belgian neutrality
This was assured. Belgium would not
of course, consider such an insulting
treacherous proposition. It could not
be carried into effect. Its very tender
was evidence that Germany has utter.
ly lost any sense Of diplomacy she
may ever have possessed. Not to speak
of the insolence Of the tender, which
added to the anger Of the allied PEG.
pies against the Hun, it was stupid
in its futility. It was extraordinarily
i'll timed in proclamation, coinciding
with the Austrian proposal.
Belgium will be restored to full eco
nomic and political independence, but
by the allied powers. She will be re-
habilitated, as far as possible, and il
justice is done this will be by German
means. The foundation stone Of the
peace structure must be Belgium, the
sign and symbol Of Germany's crime
against humanity. Not until the last
shot of this war is fred can the ques
ton Of Belgium's future status be set
tied, and the terms Of that settlement
will not be dictated by Berlin.

Ambassador Davis.

The President has given the country
another surprise. The name of Mr..
Davis had not appeared in any specu-
lation about the British mission. The
names Of men of wider note had en-
gagged attention. The talents Of Col.
House, of former President Taft and
Of others had been canvassed in con-
nection with the prize plum Of our
diplomatic service. But the President
found his man in the solicitor general.
There was no belief that a repub-
ican would be chosen. The President
is a party man, takes his leadership
earnestly, and insists upon its recog-
milton by all who enjoy his official
favor. He knows Mr.. Davis personal
~, and likes him. The appointment is
distinctly his own.
Mr.. Davis should succeed in London,
for several reasons.
(1) He is the Presidents choice. He
goes, with all the prestige that can is
sue from the White House, to q coun-
try where the President now stands in
highest favor.
(2) He is intimately identified with
the administration, and in the strong
est sympathy with its war policies. He
has followed at close range all their
developments, and understands the sit
uation to date. He will be able to
take up precisely where Mr.. Page has
left off.
(3) He is lawyer, and his profes-
sion will make him welcome in those
circles where Mr.. Choate established

Nearly Five Millions Next Summer

Nearly Five MILLIONS Next summer.
Gen. March's statement yesterday to
the House appropriations committee ip
explanation of the new Army est.
mates of $7,OOO,OO0,ooO indicates the
purpose Of the government to raise the
American Army by next July to net
of 100000 men. This is Americas
answer to all tentative peace proposals
emanating from the enemy.
An army Of nearly 100000 men.
with more in reserve for organization,
will prove factor that even the Ger
man high command must admit to be
formidable at the present stage of
the war. But there is strength in this
army beyond its mere size. It is of
a quality that all, including the enemy,
now recognize as formidable.
No more is heard Of German seorn
for our "lightning trained" fighters
The German troops themselves have
learned to respect, even to fear them,
They have shown capacity for every
form of action. They are imbued with
a spirit of determination to end the
war with victory. They regard the foe
with loathing, having seen the evil
dences of his frightfulness. They are
rated by allied commanders as con-
shutting one Of the finest fighting
forces ever put into the field Of war.
There is no reason to question the
maintenance of this standard. It may
be set down as assured that the whole
of the army Of 100000 that will be
in being by next July. will be as stout
hearted, as efficient, as determined as
the men now in France who are scoring
successes in every operation to which
they are assigned. Indeed, with the
improvement in materials and the per
lection Of organization the Army of
next July will without doubt be even
better than that Of today. And the re.
suit cannot fail to be the utter defeat
Of Germany.

Enveloping St. Quentin.

In their new action northwest of ST.
Quentin the British forces have ad
vanced sufficiently to menace that
city, one of the pivotal points of the
German line in Picardy. Furthermore,
there is every indication of a dispo-
sition on the part Of the British COM
mander to press onward, and even al
lowing for greater resistance as the
German lines are forced back, the
usual effect of an advance, a few more
days of such action as that of yester-
day will probably render untenable 8
long stretch of the German lines.
The German position in this sector
now becomes extremely precarious. Di-
rectly behind st. Quentin runs the
Disc in southwesterly direction,
therefore slanting off to the northeast
behind the German front. 1t is par
alleled by canal and occupies sew
obstacle of difficulty in case of gen.
eral retirement. If crossed in retro
grade movement it serves as a diago-
nal division line between wings of the
German army, always an impediment
to cooperation. In these circumstances
material progress by the British no tn
of st. Quentin, forcing retirement,
would put the enemy high command
in predicament that might suddenly
develop into disaster.
1t is probable that the most deeper
ate. resistance will be offered to any
further efforts by Haig to press be-
yond the breach already effected in
the Hindenburg line and separate St.
Quentin from Cambria. If st. Quentin
goes, the entire La Fere-Laon
position must be yielded, unless
it is to stand as the apex of a sa-
lient. By now the German command
must have learned to fear salients.
Their reverses during the past two
months have come from efforts to hold
such positions. The Marine, Montdi-
dier and st. Mihiel have proved dis
astrous, and now in Picardy this men
ace recurs as the lines are nodded I'M
der allied pressure into the making of
another exposed position.
Marshal Foch's strategy becomes
palmer with each successive movement.
He hammers for position here and
there, forcing the enemy to construct
new defense lines and keeping his gen.
eral system Of barriers in a state Of
change. He is destroying the enemy
confidence in the integrity Of his de-
lenses and thereby weakening his
morale. The large numbers of pris-
oners taken in each operation demon
strate this effect. Yesterday over 5000
were captured on a sixteen-mile front.
Not even the stanchest spirits can long
withstand such constant pounding and
sapping.

better. In the main, the rule, whether
applied by one party or the other.
has always worked well.
The complaint made is that the south
constitutes "too small q part Of the
country, industrially and economical
w." to WELD 50 large q power in mat
tiers Of national legislation.
But very important fact is over
looked. The south is not "a small part
Of the democratic party. On the con-
trary, she is the body, the main re-
lance. of the organization. Democracy
in the north, in the west and In the
middle country is intermittent. Mani
festations rarely last long. After q
little Christening. the republicans get
together and, come back.
In the south, on the contrary, de-
mocracy is constant, and defeats all ef-
forts at dislodgement. Its congress
sional strength may always be safely
estimated, and its electoral votes
counted, in advance. Here and there
a Congress district is close, or one is
"marked off" to the republicans, but
the cases are too few to interfere with
the term, "the solid south" Tho south
practically is solid for the democracy,
both in Congress and in the electoral
college.
This being true, the south naturally
claims in times Of success the lions
share Of the congressional rewards
and to support her claims puts forward
men she has kept in commissi N for
years.

great popularity. The favor Of. the
English bar has proved Of help to the
American ambassador in other cases
than that Of Mr.. Choate.
~ He is . fluent and graceful
speaker. Diplomacy, it is true, is not
ordinarily associated, or associable,
with oratory. But the English, for
years past, have laid that obligation
on our representatives at their court,
and all have met it satisfactorily, some
brilliantly. Mr.. Phelps and John Hay
before Mr.. Choate, and Whitelaw Reid
following him, charmed their hosts
with addresses Of variety and felicity,
and so added to their usefulness in
Office.
Moreover, Mr.. Davis will be aided
by the relations now existing between
the British and the American govern
ments. They have never before been
half 30 cordial; and conditions seem
to guarantee their long continuation.
For, after the war has ended. the work
Of world reconstruction will make it
necessary for all nations now coop
Grating to confer together in the es-
tablishment of the new order, fnan-
cial, economic, and political, the war is
