ger Of interpreting momentary
pause as sign that the enemy is
weakening is we'll illustrated by the
developments of the last day. The
only proper way to view this battle
is to overestimate the enemys
strength and then hope for the best
Ludendorf Aims High
Ludendorff is directing this great
est battle of all time. He has pre-
pared most ambitious programme,
and he is possessed of larger sup
ply of men and guns than any gen.
eral has ever handled hitherto. There
is no precedent for the present bat
tie. It is a fight to the finish be-
tween two armies unparalleled in
strength and size.
Fighting against overwhelming
odds, Haig's men were forced out of
Bailleul, which has been the supply
centre for the armies on Messines
Ridge and along the old Armentieres
front, and they have now taken their
stand on the hills to the north.
With the loss Of Neuve Eglise, the
evacuation of Bailleul and the with
drawal from Wulverghem were al
most inevitable unless exhaustion
overlook the enemy, but unfortunate.
ly his numbers were so great and his
guns so plentiful that fresh rein
forcements enabled him to press for
ward against defences which would
have held in any previous struggle.
Use Every Device Known
The Germans are using every de,
vice of modern warfare-rifles,
rnitrailleuses, big guns, bombs, gas,
flame throwers, fresh divisions being
employed constantly.
When. Haig calls the odds "over-
whelming." some appreciation may
be had of the violence of the strug-
gle, for the British Field Marshal is
sparing in his use Of adjectives. To
the south and in the centre of the
battle front, the British lines are
holding. 1t is only in the north that
the enemy's pressure is bringing him
results, but, unfortunately, that is
the point where the advance causes
the greatest embarrassment.
However, it is we'll to remember
that in this war there have been in
Vulnerable instances where the mar
gin between success and failure was
a matter of feet rather than miles.
British in Strong Positions
Some keen judges consider that
the Germans have now reached the
limit of their advance, and that the
British will hold their new positions
against all further onslaughts. They
base their views on the facts that
the positions are strongest in north
ern France and Belgium and that the
enemy has. suffered the heaviest !
casulties of the war in the last four
days. They are prepared to see local
enemy successes, but they believe
there will be no break through.
On the Amiens front the roar Of 3,
the guns continues, but the infantry
waits. Attacks on Paris by air and
by long rangs guns, intended to
break the French morale, is consid-
dere a part of the enemys move to
get Foch to strike quickly and un-
cover his hand, but no amount Of
pressure can force the generalissimo
to act before he is ready. He is the
supreme military director of the
Allies fortunes.

MILITARY DISASTER
FACING GERMANY,
BELIEF OF LONDON
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Nov. Military authori
ties whe three weeks ago were skeptl-
cal over the return of peace because
of the military situation, are convinc-
ed that the German army is in seri-
Gus condition owing to it's inability
to shorten it's line and produce fresh
reserves.
1t is pointed out that German casual
ties this year amount to 100000, of
which 100000 are permanent casu-
alties Last March Germany had eighty
fresh reserve divisions, which meant
divisions which had not been in line
for a month Now the German re-
serve consists of fifty divisions. only
seven of which have had as much as a
fortnight's rest and none as much as
a month, which is considered the mini
mum for an efficient force German
divisions now are appearing on the
firing line with many hundreds OF
rifles below the German normal of
$3.50.
On October 8, regiments in 40 or
so divisions were reduced from a
four-company to three-company
basis Many of the youths of the
1920 class which the Germans wished
to hold to the spring now are in the
field. This is Germany's last man
power hope.
1t is calculated that Germany had
$4,000 guns on July 10, of which a
third has been last. The number of
guns and batteries has been reduced
and some batteries have been
equipped with third rate weapons.

FORECAST GIVES
BIG PLURALITY
TO REPUBLICANS
C. O. P. Workers Believe
There Will Be No Shrinkage

Insured.

The Republicans of Wayne county
will tomorrow give Richard n. Elliott.
Republican candidate for Representa-
tive in Congress the usual plurality
which will insure his return to the
next congress. The Republicans of
Wayne county also will elect a full
county ticket, including legislative
offices, by the same pluralities as that
which Elliott will receive. In Wayne
township the Republicans will sweep
the platter inasmuch as the Democrats
failed to nominate ticket for town.
ship offices. The Republican state
ticket also will receive a big plurality
in the county.
Despite all stories told to the con-
trary, a close analysis of the situation
today shows that the Republicans will
carry every township and every ward
in the city that they have been ac-
customed to carry, and the only differ
ence between the pluralities this year
and in former years will be due to
the shortage in the vote as indicated
by the registration. The Democrats,
| however, will suffer quite as much
from this shrinkage as Republicans,
