BETWEEN ROUNDS.

II was natural that the drives in
Picardy, Flanders and about Sois-
sons should slow up. The amazing
fact is that they kept on as long as
they did without any apparent less
ening of pace. After the first bit
the element OF surprise is lacking
and there is an opportunity Tor the
enemy to get his artillery into shape
for defense.
Besides this, pushing drives the
Germans into some OF those "stra-
tegic positions previously prepared
which they like SO well to talE
about. The evidence in this case Is
that the sttategET retlrements were
unforeseen and undesired. But the
facts remains that the farther back
the enemy is pushed, the stronger
his defenses become.
The Hindenburg line was planned
to hold against any assaults. ii
was not meant to be held by crum-
bling. dissatisfied lines OF Germans
against waxing, well-fed, victoriou:
Allies, and no Imagination OF Hin
denburg's could have pictured the
circumstances under which it must
this time be defended. 1t must yield
at last. But it will doubtless require
hard fighting to smash it.
Beyond that, there are probably
many miles OF territory wich the
Germans thought they would never
need 10 defend. Once through that
Hindenburg line, the eleventh-hour
defense oil the Hun will be likely to
succumb pretty easily for q long
distance.
When it comes to the borders OF
,Germany, the most difficult period
must be expected. No longer fight
ing for vague territorial accessions
and places in the sun, the Germans
will have their backs to the wall.
They will be defending their native
land. Even a cowardly animal like
the Hun will fight hard to protect
his home or at least brave men
presume he will.
No one expects that this point can
be reached this year And consid-
Grafton shows that General March
is undoubtedly right in demanding
four million men. With them once
in the line, there can be no ques-
tion OF the final outcome.

after all to those who had lost it for
Gott und Vaterland? There was
not particle OF cheer during
that entire afternoon"
The natural thing which would
have occurred to any person OF av-
erage intelligence and imagination
would have been to tell those sol
diers of the beautiful and wonder
full things left in the world for them
to enjoy Music is still theirs, the
sound of loved voices, the fragrance
of all Christmas trees. The touch
OF loving hands is theirs, the taste
of wholesome food-when Germany
can get it.
If the Germans display this ap-
palling lack of sympathy, of under
standing OF human needs, in re.
spect to their own, what can be ex-
pected OF them in relation to their
enemies? They simply have not in
them those mental and spiritua'
qualities which would entitle them
to qualify as human beings and to
be judged on the same level as those
who oppose them.

WAR PROHIBITION
SOON Be PASSED
DATE OF GOING INTO EFFECT
PROBABLY BE MOVED UP
TO JULY /, 1913.

Washington, Aug. 26.-President Viii
SON senate prohibition leaders declared
today, is not opposed to legislation
pending in the senate proposing ma
tional prohibition during the war but
has suggested that the proposede time
for its becoming effective-January ]
neXt--be extended. Negotiations to that
end ii was said. seemed to assure an
agreement for passage of the bill and
also for sorye extension of time to liz.
uor interests.
Additional time. the president was
said to believe. should be given many
interests involved in the liquor business
to close up their affairs. including
banks holding bonded warehouse certif-
icates. July l. 1919, was the new date
suggested.
That time also should be afforded
for revenue adjustment was said 10 have
been suggested by the President. The
new date. it was said, would not inter
fere with the government revenue col
lections on liquor for the fiscal year,
and thus avoid redrafting the war rev.
enue bill which is based on estimated
returns of about $900.000,000 from in
toxihnts.
Confidence that an agreement be
tween the two senate factions on the
measure would be reached and pave
the way for passage of the bill late this
week, with comparatively brief and
perfunctory opposition was expressed
by prohibition champions.

THE PEACE DRIVE.

The month just passed has beer
the Allies best in four years. Be.
tween mid July and August IS the
I French. British, Italians and Amer
leans have taken $1,000 prisoner
and more than 100 guns, and they
have freed from q brutal invader
more than 1900 square miles OF fer
tile, though wasted soil.
These figures represent the great
est allied gains in any month since
the war began, and they are rightly
hailed in four capitals as evidence
that the numerical superiority and
the preponderant resources OF those
nations IN league against autocracy
are At last bringing the results for
which civilization prays. The Al
lies are out to win. and they are
winning because they have pooled
their resources, have submitted TO
common military command and =
common naval policy.
The Germans, in this same month.
have lost no less than $4,000 fight
ing men by wounds and death. and
have been compelled to abandon
enormous quantities Of war material
OF every kind. They are on the de-
fensive now and Foch intends that
they shall neyer>win again that in
itiative OF which his blow 1t Cha
teau Thierry robbed them.
These are the reasons for the
meeting OF the emperors at Ger
man main headquarters. Another
peace drive is due. Civilians in
France and Great Britain, Italy and
America should make sure that this
peace drive is as futile as the recent
German drive-ou Paris proved to be.
