.ALSACE-LORRATNE

Announcement by pr. Solf,' Ger man foreign minister, that i've agree to regulations of these questions" in reference to Alsace-Lorraine, should not be too quickly seized as an occa-, sion for rejoicing. On the face of the statement, it would appear that Ger many intends to restore the lost prov inces to France with a benediction and as an earnest of good will toward the republic Emperor Williams troops attempted to "bleed white"
 Every staten ent of a conciliatory nature made by German statesmen should be scrutinized thoroughly. Germany is beaten on the field of battle and her only resource now is resource attempts to divide the AL lies, having failed, she must depend entirely on a victory won by words, cleverly twisted to confuse minds in the countries opposed to her military program.
 It is worthy of notice that Presi- dent Wilson, in composing his four teen points, said "the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the m alter of Asa ce- Lorraine should be lighted" He did not say those ! wrongs must be righted although, in l effect, his words meant nothing less. | Today we have a picture of Dr. Solf, 1 solicitous for the welfare of France, extending his arms in a Bless you
 my children" posture and saying We ] agree to the regulation of these ques- l tions" What Dr. Solf means is that l Germany is prepared for an illimit- 1 able, exhausting discussion of the | questions a discussion that will re-
 turn always to the place at which it
 was begun and which will, in the
 end, be lost in maze of verbiage.
 Dr. Solf deceives no one, except 1 possibly Dr. Solf.

have several hundred men in this class. Tn an ordinary year, for ex- ample, something like two hundred Freshmen are under eighteen years of age. Another two hundred un- doubtedly will be either unfit or in eligible for the s. A. T. c. or will not want to join it.
 As far as the university is able to interpret the new War Department regulations, the s. A. T. c. whether at Harvard or elsewhere, is now the only road which leads to an army commission. The man who is not yet in the army, but who expects to be there soon, and who wants to become an officer, must attend one of these college units. In other words, the Government has made of the institu- tions of higher learning a great clear ing house, where the officers material will be thoroughly tested and such of it as can meet the required stal- dard sent forward to the regular schools like the one which made Plattsburg famous. For this reason, if for no other, there is general ex- pectation that nearly all of the col leges will have this fall about all the candidates for admission that they can conveniently handle.

Left In a Hurry.
(Albany Argus. )

The lying claims of Berlin and Vienna that the St. Mihiel salient was evacuated without interference" is disposed of by two simple facts.
 If so, Pershing's men could not pos sibly have taken 10000 or more prisoners.
 If so, the 30 villages recovered would not have been left practically un- damaged. It has been the boast as
 we'll as the practice of the Germans to make a "desert'' of whatever, ter
 ritory they have to abandon They would have done so in this case if
 they had retired deliberately or had
 had time for wrecking and destruction and saving their own skins also.
 It may be true as these German
 and Austrian bulletins assert, that
 the abandonment of this salient has been in contemplation for some time. The reconnaissance from it in the days preceding the attack would indicate efforts to find out when it would be imperative to move. The footing of everything of value in the town of St. Mihiel, near the apex of the salient, and the forcible taking away of able bodied citizens and women and girls, after the usual German practice, in dicates that the runaway had actual ly been begun. But the Americans
 were too quick for it to be a success. Another fact of large importance from this brilliant stroke, besides those we have mentioned s that mili- tary operations from the Champagne south are often practicable after the fall rains have turned the northern front into a quagmire. Thus the l great victory campaign may very l probably extend into the winter if l the end-up is not secured before that | time

Entente Air Raids.

The growing superiority of the AL lies in the air battles becomes more conspicuous each day and is having a marked effect along the German border. Tuesdays exploits in which 66 German planes were driven down, to only 16 of the Allies, was but a scene in a continuous drama, and one the ultimate moral of which is evidently not being lost on the civilian population of the Rhine cities.
 For the Allied air forces have dropped thousands of tons of bonn bs on munitions factories, railways, rail- way stations, bridges, airdromes and Notifications.
 Promptly two results ensue. The well-to-do upper and middle classes decamp to cities farther in the in- terior of Germany, leaving the work ing cIassets chained to their jobs in ammunition factory or railroad shops and targets for bombs. The other re- suit is a series of public meetings in the Rhine towns calling for a limita- tion of air raids by inter- -belligerent agreement.
 Ungracious as the doctrine of their own medicine'' is, it seems to have produced results along the Rhine. They who saw no occasion to limit aerial warfare when Eng fish towns were being hit see every reason when the fery hail begins to fall on their own roofs. And the de- parture of the well-to-do out of harms way accentuates the breach between the classes in the caste-ridden German Empire. It is another in stance of the class-s system breaking by it's own weight, as when the food restriction resulted only in restricting the working classes of Germany. it being perfectly possible to obtain plenty of food if one had the money and was willing to pay.

DID CONGRESSMAN LONERGAN- to wit; the late F, J. Hill, John @. Tilson. of the Military Affairs Com mittee; James Glynn and Richard Freeman. Incidentally, the Repub- lican leader, James Mann, and the ranking Republican member of the Military Affairs Committed Mir. Kahn of California, voted the same as MT Lonergan did.
 American soldiers do not value their patriotism by the dollar mark. He fights, not for money. but for principle. But nevertheless the Dem- ocratic Congress of which MT. Loner- gan is member has authorized not only the highest pay in the world for our soldiers but has added allow ances for dependents as we'll. And Congressman LonergAn stands out in
 
 enlisted man.
 The Italian soldier is paid so cen times, or 16 cents day; the French soldier, 25 centimes, or cents a day, with a franc a day extra for front line service, partly in cash and partly in stamps redeemable after the war. Tn the English army the basic pay is shilling and sixpence or about 37 cents day, with slight increases for each year of service.
 Any camouf1age attack on Congress- man Lonergan's record must be taken not with a grain of salt, but with whole bag of it.
