increasing daily We know now that
il is the sober judgment OF British and.
French military men that had the GeMs
mans been able TO conclude their drive
in Picardy, had they stuck TO the push
for Amiens. instead Of turning north to
Flanders, they might have captured
Amiens and surrounded British and
French armies.
Their Machine Ran Down.
They gave il up because their en-
crgv machine had .run down. 1t had
exhausted the stored resources in the
colossakpush from ST. Quentin to Mont
dldier. Foch's method is quite different.
He does not use up his armies he does
not concentrate all his human and
mechanical resources in a single thrust.
He uses one army after another, and
keeps varying the attack. The result
is that none of his armies is exhausted
and after a little rest it can resume.
There is. therefore, no let-up as there
was in Picardy, no pause as there was
after the Aisns. when the Germans
waited forty days before trying again.
Continuous Attack Since July ls.
We have had now since July l8, a
practically continuous attack by the
allies, now on the Marine; now in Pic

frequently mean growth. In many instances, they have
meant complete new plants of huge proportions, and even
cities Of considerable size have sprung up like mushrooms
around industries founded on the war, while other towns
and cities have seen their population double as workmen
nocked in to do the war work. Profiteering is %unspeak-
able, and we are not in this war even for reasonable
profits which it may bring to some. But keeping business
moving, on war contracts or other legitimate work, is i'm
portant service to the country. Business cannot be as
usual, but there must be business il the nations finances
are to stand the strain. To work and earn and save and
give are the only ways open to many to aid in the war,
and the means for rendering such assistance should not
be reduced.

No Respite in Sight.
There has been no respite and there
is likely TO be none, for Foch has still
very large American resources. not
trained sufficiently to the highly efiec-
tive in attack upon fixed positions. but
capable Of supplying enormo aid
when the German line crumbles, and il
becomes a question Of pursuit Of a
beaten enemy to a new position and an
effort to turn the defeat into a rout.
1t Is a safe calculation that the
American troops are still to play a

they have yet played. There is a prom

There arc signs which indicate Germany is planning
new peace maneuyers, which are becoming something OF
a habit with the Huns since their war strategy has gone
wrong. But the likelihood OF these proposals getting any
where is slim. The allies are whipping Germany now,
which is no time for them to quit. Until Germany IS
whipped, the peace dove must remain disconsolate. The
peace terms which will end the war will not be made in

There have been too many fatal automobile accidents
in Oklahoma City and vicinity recently. Not all of them
and perhaps none OF them, were due to carelessness. There
is. however. enough careless driving, speeding and the like
to make the casual observer wonder that there aren't more
fatal accidents. Driving a motor car, like the wealth
essential to maintain it. IS something Of a responsibility and
more people should appreciate it.
