of your line is straight, that over one
half is formidable obstacle, such as
great forest, and over the other half
is open ground; suppose your main
line of communication runs close be-
hind your front and nearly parallel to
it; suppose that by some blunder or
misfortune in the immediate past the
bulk of your troops are punched be-
hind the obstacle and only a small
portion of them are holding the open
front of your line. That strategic sit
uation is bad.

where obstacles impede an attack up

Why Not Let Germany Contribute?

Arson McNaught says: The New Republic
calls attention to the fact that France in her tre
mendous struggle to save the world from barbar-
ism, has incurred debt of $28, ,000,0 100000, and
in addition to this has been looted of billions of
dollars worth of property by the invading Huns.
IN view of the tremendous losses which she has
incurred while fighting for the rest of us, the
New Republic says that the rest of should
pitch in and help pay Frances debts at the end
of the war. AS a matter of fact there is no
American who wants to France pay larger
share of the wars cost than America pays. But
how about Germany? At the end of the Franco
Prussian war the Germans compelled the French
to pay indemnity that exceeded by several
hundred millions of dollars the cost to Prussia
of that war. Why should not Germany, if there
is any such thing as justice be compelled to re-
imburse France for the entire cost of this war?
We say that we are fighting to establish justice
throughout the world. There will be no justice
in peace that does not recognize Germany as the
guilty nation and compel her to wipe out the debt

The vital health building elements
that these despondent women lack are
all plentifully supplied in Bio-feren.

is the language of his last dispatches,

1t is true that he has left rear

has withdrawn the bulk of his forces
between the Scarpe and the Disc to

old Hindenburg line up to Moeuvres

nous, and when / get back to the
Meuse line the Ardennes will cat me
in two
Indeed, the enemy's railways and
roads all run either north or south OF
the big deserted forest block of the
Ardennes hills If he goes back to the
Meuse he has two separate lines OF
communication, not joined up, to feed
him. He becomes in fact two isolated
armies. Germany's national soil is
menaced by such a retirement, and the
whole highly artificial political situa.
ton, built up in the last fifty year on
the prestige of Prussia is shaken. So
the enemy's Higher Command decided
to fall back on the old Hindenburg
line and hold to the st. Gobain-Laon
pivot.
We have now to watch whether the
compromise will make good or not
The test is the hill and forest of ST
Gobain. 1t is clear that the Germans
will not now abandon it unless they
are compelled either by the Allied
pressure in Cambrai or sudden action
to the east of Laon, in Champagne OF
in Lorraine, or. which is least likely
by direct pressure against the pivot
itself--for there the position is i'm
mensely strong.
If they give up against their will
that Laon-St. Gobain position, the cor
nerstone of their outer line, the turn
ing point where the front begins tC
turn east, it is proof that the war is
decided for the Allies. If they hold il
through the winter the decision is

strategic change, and that is all that
counts. His strategic situation is as
bad as ever and unless he can change
it to his advantage he is beaten.
Let me explain. Two things make
up the strategical situation: the
ground and the disposition of the
troops. The obstacles in favor of the
defense, the avenues of communication
and the open space for the develop
ment of the attack, all such features
are included under the term ground
or terrain. The shape of the line on
which your troops stand, either your
choice or the enemy's, the distribution
of strength along that line and all
similar elements are included under
the term disposition. These two ele-
ments between them decide the strate-
gical situation and determine whether
it is favorable or unfavorable.

somewhat superior enemy the shape

compelled France to incur.

Anson McNaught writes: A first-class
American of German blood, Charles F. Heartman,
of New York city, has published a leaflet in which
he says: 81 am only seven years in this country.
The most glorious moment of my life was when
the postman handed me that long white envelope
that knew contained my naturalization papers.
l immigrated to this country political refu-
gee. Germans may come here because
they are dissatisfied with German laws or be-
cause of the hated militarism. But when they
come, let them be cut off from German influence,
from German press, from German club and
you will see them getting acquainted with Ameri-
can ideals. For me the German press and large
number of German clubs are Of poisonous conse-
quences. I am in favor of the suppress
sion of the German press"
This mans ideas deserve the widest publica-
ton. It is true that millions of immigrants be-
fore him, coming to this country from all parts
of Europe, have held similar views. Had it been
otherwise, America would not hold the proud
place among nations that is hers today. But
there are hundreds of thousands of foreign born
men and women in the United States at this mo-
ment, many of them citizens, who do not care to
get acquainted with American ideals, much less
to make them their own. There people add
nothing to the strength the greatness or the
