Again, and yet again. the unduly OPP
timistic must be reminded that, from
military point of view, Germany is
still far from being defeated. Though
she is being forced to relinquish her
grip on Belgium and northern France
she is conducting her retreat in order
and much in her own way. and though
losing much material and thousands
of men, is carrying off most of her
heavy guns and a great deal of her
supplies. destroying the bulk of those
left behind. She still has about 100
being in reserve, and with these, with
the men returned from hospitals and
with those coming of military age she
probably can hold out for many months
on her shortened front. The Huns are
falling back to successive lines of de-
Tense, pivoting on the positions north
of the Argonne and on the Meuse
heights, and with many thousands of
machine guns in strong positions are
making the advance of the allies as
difficult and expensive as possible. The
present government of Germany seem
ingly doesn't intend to give up the
fight without making desperate fin
ish, and toward the end of the week IL
was said Ludendorff had drafted a
proclamation to the people exhorting
them to carry on the war to the utmost
since the allies would not grant them
peace without humiliation.

In his delayed reply to the note from
Austria-Hu.sary President Wilson In
formed Vienna that events had made
some of his famous fourteen points
out of date. notably that concerning
the autonomy of the oppressed peoples
in the dual kingdom, since the United
States had recognized the independ
ence of the Czecho-Slovaks and the ma
tional aspirations of the Jugo-Slavs.
Consequently he could not talk peace
with those points as basis. Then
followed an imperial manifesto an
nouncing the formation of federal
states in Austria Hungary the setting
up of state of their own by the Ger
mans in Austria; the creation of a
sovereign state by the Slovenes, Croat-
ians and Serbs without reference to
present political frontiers, and prog
ress by the Hungarians toward full in
dependence, with reports that they
were about to apply to the entente
governments for terms for separate
armistice and peace. The empire of
Charles was fast breaking up. and
there was the greatest depression in
Vienna, where famine threatens and
the authorities are powerless. Conse-
quently, according to dispatches, the
Austrian government is becoming
reconciled To the idea of unconditional
equalization.

One-fourth OF Germany's available
military strength has been placed in
the Champagne and Mouse sectors to
hold back the Americans and French
there, and the task these allied armies
are doing, while not snowy, is of tire
mendous Importance and difficulty.
The Huns are trying desperately to
save the Notwithstanding railway
system, on which depend all their
communications in that region. II Is
a satisfaction to know that the Amer
leans are giving a mighty good ac-
count of themselves there and that,
while their own losses are not small,
those of the enemy are vastly larger.

unconditional surrender and that Mr..
Wilson was losing ground by continu-
ing the diplomatic discussion with "A
government with which, he very prop
erly declares, the United States cannot
negotiate. There was general appro-
val of the latter part of the note, which
pronounced against any peace with the
kaiser and the rest of it was praised
by those who saw in it a clever move
to ALLEVIATE the German people from
their military leaders. There was no
doubt anywhere of the rightness of the
presidents aims and intentions, but
many public men feared that his very
admirable detestation of war and his
fondness Cor writing notes might lead
him into an embarrassing diplomatic
maze.
In reinsurance, it may be said that
no armistice and no peace will be ar
ranged that are not entirely TO the sat
isfaction of Great Britain, France and
Italy. as well as the United States,
and that these four allies have agreed
that Germany must be required to sur
render. There will be no cessation of
hostiities on the part of the allies I'M
til Germany not only evacuates occu-
pied territory, but also gives substan-
tial guarantees that will prevent re-
sumption of fighting by her; and the
entente allies are determined that any
discussions concerning an armistice
shall take into full consideration the
sea power, in which they are predoni-
nant.

In the near East matters progressed
favorably, the allies driving the Aus
trians northward and reaching the
Danube on the Roumanian border,
thus completing the isolation of. Tur-
key from the central powers. A fur
ther advance to Orsova will open the
way for an invasion of Austria. In
Montenegro the process of clearing
out the foe went forward rapidly. At

TO make peace has new scheme.
Plans are being discussed to make
Constantlnople free port and dis
mantle the Notifications of the Oar
danelles on condition that the allies
guarantee the continuance of Constan-
tinople as the capital of Turkey. 1t
is also proposed to grant autonomy to
Arabia, Syria, Armenia and the Jew

The Germans seem to delight in VIC.
lating the sense of decency of civilized
people. The latest example of this
propensity is the naming of Baron Won
der Lancken as head OF a commission

is to investigate charges of unneces-
sary devastation during the retreat
from Belgium. This baron played a
leading role In the murder of Edith

LOAN CAMPAIGN
PROMISES SUCCESS

The Liberty Loan census takers
have completed their work and the
big campaign for actual Bond sub
Tuesday morning.
The work thus far has been done
quickly and in wonderful complete
ness. This was shown conclusively
at the meeting of the general Com
mittee Saturday night when the team
Captains turned in all their cards and
each reported their district as fin
ished.
The women's committee, under the
direction of Mrs. r. w. Harvey,
chairman, have done splendid work
and were among the first of the can
vass takers to turn in their complete
returns
The workers report a feeling Of
much greater interest and a more
ready repsonse from the people inter-
viewed at this time than at either Of
the previous Liberty Loan campaigns
This is largely because the general
public, through previous Liberty
Loan literature and general advertise
ing have become familiar with it's de-
tails and the purposes for which the
Loan is being raised.
Contrary to the somewhat pessi-
mistic reports from neighboring cities
the percentage Of Hallowell people
who have answered yes to the uues-
ton of the canvassers-"Do you in
tend buying bond ?"-is larger than
the Committee anticipated at the out
set. Naturally all the workers feel
encouraged and believe that with
continued effort We shall be able to
reach our allotment. However, we
must all bear in mind that the
amount Hallowell must raise is
double what it was before and this
means either doubling Of each in
dividual subscription or a very great
increase in new subscriptions.
Therefore. everyone Of us must do
our utmost ar show those hundred
and three Of our own boys who are
fighting for us away that we are
fighting for them at home!
All workers and team Captains are
hereby notified to attend without fail
a general meeting at Mr.. Clearwater'S
office on Monday night at 7.30. Be-
cause then you will receive final in
structions. cards. blanks. buttons and
other material which is absolutely
necessary in the work of taking bond
subscriptions. This work starts i'm
mediately on Tuesday morning and
with the system worked out to a
point Of perfection as it no is, each
solicitor will have only few people
on whom to call.
1t is the intention of the Com
mittee to have this work completed
on Tuesday night and the report that
Halolwell has gone over the top again
wired to Washington. 1t is just as
well to to do this in one day as to
string it out over a week for in these
busy times every hour and minute
should be made to count toward the
ending of the war.

The Lowell Courier-Citizen will say
tomorrow: 1.-THE chancellor's speech de-
served to be walked around very care
fully. 1t is designed for effect. What
1t does not say, however, is more I'M
portant than what it says: The chief
defect is that it affords no guarantees
at all. Prince Macmillan is convinced
that never again can there be govern
ment in Germany that is not in full &C
cord with the popular representative
branch and largely drawn therefrom
But who else is similarly convinced, and
on what ground of reason? The minis
try remains responsible to the Kaiser
alone. 1t may as easily be at variance
with the Reichstag as before. Until the
ministry is directly subject. not to the
Emperor. but to the Reichstag for Its
tenure, nothing to the purpose can be
guaranteed"

PARIS PAPERS DEMAND

ident Wilson's reply be-" the people are
asking and wondering now that they
know that the Central Empires. partic-

ton Of hostilities and peace through
the President of the United States. The
feeling is general that the Central En-
pires, bent upon the greatest gamble of

by one stroke the termination of their

Offices of President Wilson as interme-
