THE sPEAR-HEAD

With the Germans standing more
resolutely. and the main battlefront
come, for the moment, to a compare.
tive standstill, there is eager specu.
lation as to Foch's next move.
1t is unthinkable that Foch, mas
ter of offensive fighting, will toler-
ate even a short lull in the great
pursuit. Stopped by obstacles, his
policy heretofore has always been to
go around them, whereupon they
melt away. 1t is thought that he
may now be planning one of his
boldest strokes-possibly a big sur
prise attack on Cambrai, Lille or
st. Quentin, comparable to his drive
against the western side of the
Marne salient in July, or Pershing's
late victory at st. Mihiel.
II he does, there is little doubt

THE TEACHER MASTERED

THE TEACHER MASTERED
The Prussians. self-styled super
men," have reached that point from
whence they can no longer teach the
pupils in soldiery. When the Turks,
fighting desperately, we're being
beaten back, the kaiser rushed Ger
man troops to their assistance and
saved the day. Bulgaria needed
help and German officers engineered
the fight. The Germans taught the
Chinese lesson in butchery that the
yellow men will never forget. rhe
Belgians and Poles also came in for
their lesson in master butchery.
At the beginning Of the war the
Austrians were rapidly being defeat
ed by the Russians. when the Ger
mans came to their rescue and show
ed their hand as master fighters.
They did their work well. The Rus
SLAMS who were not driven into the
Mazurian swamps and massacred
were driven back pell-mell into their
own country.
The Prussians we're feeling fine
supreme. They had more than held
their own against all foes up to this
time and felt absolutely sure of ul
timately defeating the English and
French. Then they took on a new
pupil, and avowed that they woult
teach the Swine from the west" ;
severe lesson. In this, their lates
efforts, they have been outclassed By
the pupil who has assumed the Of
fensive and is teaching the old pas
master in the art OF butchery tn,
real science Of modern war and tn,
intricacies Of swift, unwavering war
fare. The teacher has met his mas
ter in the pupil. There can be bu
one outcome--the unconditional sur
render of the. Prussians.

Elsie Ferguson to he shown at Joy
Many modern photoplays and stage
productions. as well as books. deal
with the fall OF woman. but few deal
with her rise. The Rise OF Jennie
Gushing" is an exception.
In this production. which Is one
OF Artcraft's best, We meet again
that talented stage star, Elsie Fer
guson. who enacts the title role. and
who. with her wonderful ability. and
charming personality is able to- por-
tray all phases OF Jennie Cushing's
life. from that Of a street urchin to
that of social position.
Like all well regulated and well
ordered stories. whether on the
printed page or ON the moving cellu-
loid, this too has It's love story. but
II is love story Of the unexpected
sort. The sweethearts do not do all
Of the things which you expect them
to do. but do some OF the things
which you do not expect and therein
lies large part OF the interest.
"The Rise Of Jennie Gushing" Is
an exceptional film. Viewed as q
dramatic offering the photoplay Will
more than please the most critical
as Miss Ferguson is ably supported
by carefully selected cast OF popu.
lar players.
The photography is exquisitely
Artcraft, and the settings are accu.
rate and staged without regard tc
cost. In addition, however, the
story is one that will long be remem
bered by the public, for 1t teaches
lesson OF charity and human up
lift. planting wholesome thought
when the whole world is at war ant
intent on destroying each other.

Speech Doesn't Change Views

There will be no immediate formal
comment upon this latest contribu-
tion to the debate on war aims and
peace aspirations Experience has
taught officials that important quail
fications are to be found usually in
the full text of the speeches OF
the spokesmen of the central powers.
Attention was directed by Off
cials to President Wilson's former
characterization of the German chan
cellor's utterances as very vague
and confusing" and 1t was said that
the presidents comment had a pecu-
liarly apt application to the pres
ent speech, in which Won Hertling
signified his fundamental agreement
with President Wilson's four prin-
ciples.
President Wilson, in his last ad
dress to congress, said of the chan
cellor's speech delivered few days
before:
"Hls discussion and acceptance of
our general principles led him to
no practicable conclusion. He re-
fuses to apply them to the sub
stantial items which must constitute
the body of any final settlement"
He declared the fuel administra-
tions attempt to substitute a new
scheme of distribution and its reck-
less price-fixing brought coal fam
inc in the country which has more
coal than any other in the world.
What we needed was the freight
embargo now shutting down the in
dustry"
He said: There is no reason
why a fuel administration should
exist So far as | could learn the
only qualifications Of the state fuel
administrators is that they should
he Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Count
Won Hertling's speech in the reich
stag, continuing the discussion of
the war aims of the belligerent pow
ers, has not changed the situation,
in the opinion of high officials here.
instead of marking an advance in
the world peace, it is regarded rather
as deliberately calculated to strength
en- the hands of the German mill
taristic party by endeavoring to
convince the German proletarist of
the practicable nature of President
Wilson's war aims as disclosed in
his last address to congress on Feb
ruary IL
While stating his readiness to ac-
cept the presidents four funda-
mental principles for basis of
peace, the German chancellor dis
missed them as idealistic and un-
workable by insisting that they must
depend for their application upon
the realization Of conditions which
cannot be met. In the official view,
his treatment of the subject was
ironical and designed for very diff
ferent ends than the advancement
of peace.

Won Hertlings speech was a war
and not peace speech. A high
official said the purposes OF the
speech were TO divide the allies and
stimulate peace talk in an effort
to bring about another "Brest-
