IT. criticising Col. House Senator Sherman said as personal representa- tive envoy of the president while abroad Col. House exercised unoffi- cial and usurped powers of govern ment'' and This gratuitous advice to settle the U-boat dispute provoked the derision of Germany and the impa. tience of the Allies"
 Secretary Baker was referred to as "one who thinks of the war as three thousands miles away, talks glibly vf quantity production of combat air planes, delays three months the draft law amendment of 1918, opposes uni versal military training and says Washingtons soldiers at Valley Forge were drunkards and chicken thieves, only to be declared by executive pro- clamation to be the most capable off, cial that distinguished functionary ever knew"

ties, having assumed at home the graver responsibilities of life in many spheres, looking back upon honorable records in civil and industrial life, they will realize as perhaps no others could how entirely their own fortunes and the fortunes of all whom they love are put at stake in this war for right and will know that the very records they have made render this new duty the commanding duty of their lives.
 They know how surely this is the nations war, how imperatively it de- mands the mobilization and massing of all our resources of every kind. They will regard this call as the su- preme call of their day and will an- swer it accordingly.
 Only a portion of those who reg ister will be called upon to bear arms. Those who are not physically fit will be excused; those exempted by alien allegiance; those who should not be relieved of their present responsibil- ties-above all those who cannot be spared from the civil and industrial tasks at home upon which the success of our armies depends as much as upon the fighting at the front
 But all must be registered in or der that the selection for military service may be made intelligently and with full information. This will ba our final demonstration of loyalt, de- mocracy and the will to win; our sol emn notice to all the world that we stand absolutely together in a con- mon resolution and purpose.
 It is the call to duty to which every true man in the country will respond with pride and with the con- sciousness that in doing so he plays his part in vindication of a great cause, at whose summons every true heart offers it's supreme service.

 There is every sign that the enemy is hurrying his retirement on this part of the British front to get behind what is left of his defensive line. This new line he expected to take up be- hind the Canal du Nord is not re- garded as very strong and is too near Douai and Cambrai to be comfortable for the enemy.
 The determined German resistance at the cross roads north of Villers leg Cagnicourt was overcome by the British this morning and Heig's men are now showing forward in the direc- ton of CambPai.
 A strong British force Is driving forward on the northern reaches of the Hindenburg line. The British are well inside the Drocourt-Queant line.
