impetus from tEe disastrous attempt to drive the Italians back and 1t is being increased by the disclosures which are now being made along the western front.
 The same disconcerting facts cannot fail to have their effects upon Bull saria and Turkey. which nations are in a wrangle amongst themselves and both Of which are chafing under the tight rein which Germany holds over them. Now that the allies are able to demonstrate that the German strength is not sufficient to retard the advance of General Fochs forces, op- erating to better advantage under the plan of single control. the task of maintaining the high morale. which is needed amongst the central powers is manifoldly increased. With the con tinuance of the same kind of pres sure which is now being exerted there are indications which prompt the be- lief that the central powers mus
 soon break under the strain. What
 ever hope they had of success is be- ing seriously undermined daily

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is time that all the talk and plans for labor strikes were ended until af- ter the war
 AS fast as Germany summons every available man to the front the allies are driving them to the rear.
 It must gail the Hun to think that he is being driven out of captured ter ritory by the contemptible British army.
 What is bothsring the Huns the most is the fact that they are not be. ing allowed to select their own nov. ing day.
 The fact that the allies have reach ed the old Hindenburg line at on, point doesn't mean necessarily tha they are going to stop there.
 Who ever heard of the champion ships in the big leagues being wol without stirring up more enthusiasm and everyone roofing for his favorite

 When the German papers admit tn full strength of the Americans in Flu rope it permits the German people t understand the better why their ar | mics are falling back. The man on the corner says: Thes are the days when many more tha, the youngsters are not satisfied un less they are neck deep in corn on tn cob.
 Strange as 1t may seem it doesn' require much in these days to promp workmen to strike even though the have working agreement for the De riod of the war.
 Berlin protests to Spain agains | the decision to seize German ships fc Spanish ships torpedoed which indi cates that 1t intends to continue sink 1 ing everything which comes along.

way can be easily missed among the maze Of strange trenches.
 When moving up to open fighting positions it is harder still, for there are no trenches to give the direction. The open lire on which the days fighting comes to an end may run unevenly, perhaps along a hedgerow. bit of wood. some ruined farm build inss, or undulations of the ground
 Beyond this line lies an indeter- minate area of No Mans Lond. Out there lie scouts and hidden snipers Little groups of men, the contact patrols" of both sides. watch one ano- ther's positions ceaselessiy for signs of attack or any movement that may betray the enemy's intentions. Just before dawn these watchmen of the might come in and new men are posted.
 i, Each side O. course is constantly on the lookout to harass n-con1ing
 hostile FelIafs. Therefore complete silence and great caution must be ob- served. As a rule, movement up to or from an open line in daylight is imnossible.
 Every evening reliefs are taking place somewhere along the battle line and, in addition to the movements oi pdlt64tonS anu brlSadeS, whole dlViS- ions are withdrawn at longer in | tervals and have a six weeks rest and training spell in areas some mile: behind the front. These periods o 1 rest however, are quite distinc 1 from the usual routine of reliefs. !

THE WAR PRIMER

5aku.-The National Geographi Society issues the following wnr geography bulletin on Baku. Russia's great oil city, occupied recently by British force:
 The city of BalSu, built in the form of an ampitheatre on the south side of the Apsheroh peninsula, which juts far out into the Caspian sea, is the Tampieo of the Siav empire. Two vast oil fields, containing more than 2,700 wells, make it the chief oil center of Europe. Had the Teutcnic powers succeeded in reaching it be- fore the British forces occupied it, the blow would have been even more se- rious to the Allied cause than was the Seizure of the Roumanian oil fields by the German army of occupation many months ago. According to a census the year be- fore the outbreak of the war, Eaku was city about the size of Oakland, l Cal, Providence, R. l.. or Toledo, Ohio. It is the chief city of the Russian province of the same name. and is | situated in the midst of an unattraet- ] i've, treeless plain which stretches along the western shores Of the Cas- plan. The Caspian is S4 feet below | sea level and Baku rises only 30 feet above the great inland Sea. so thot
 it is more than 50 feet below the l ocean level
 Many centuries ago the Persian 1 fire worshippers discovered that the
 natural gases issuing from fissues irl l the rocks near Baku would burn, and
 there may be seen, a few miles from | the city, the remains of one of their ancient temples. The city itself was in existence as early as the sixth century. It did not become Russian possession until little more than g hundred years ago.
 The upper part of the city's cor responding to the back rows of ar
 amritheater, is the picturesque Tartal quarter, with it's many narrow lanes
 and oriental bazaars. A fifteenth
 century palace of the khans is in {
 very dilapidated condition, and hal
 been used for many years by tn,
 Russians as a military magazine. Th'
 most characteristic structure in th
 town is the massive Kis KaIe, O
 Maiden's Tower, which rises to neigh of 147 feet and which is now used a a light house. It dates from the By
 zantine period.

 in the Russian empire comes from tn l Baku fieulds. The high-water mar

 "Uh, huh,n said Isabel. Maybe I didn't get the common or garden va riety of vacation-and that is no pun pretty good. It was funny, too, every thing considered.

PUSHING BACK THE LINE.

News of the fall of the town of Rove which has been determinedly defended by the enemy since the pushing in of the Montdidier salient shows with what persistence and success the al lied forces are following up their ad- vantage along the western front. The capture of this point not only indi- cates the early control of the whole Seran1e sector including Chaulnes and Peronne but it also makes it evident that the Germans will not be able much longer to retain control of Neyon which is fast being outfanked to the east.
 While this gain was being made to the south of the Somme against one of the strong points in the line which the enemy was trying to hold. the British have not been letting any grass grow under their feet to the north. They have been pressing their idvantage around Bapaume which is en the verge of capture and to the east of Arras they have succeeded by hard fighting in not only reaching the old Hindenburg line but in going be- yohd.
 This makes it evident that the Teu- tonic forces. in spite Of the reserves which they have brought up to stem the tide of defeat. are being rapidly pushed back over the ground whicf they fought during the spring anG summer with such steady gains or the part of the allies wherever they launch an attack that it seems prob able that the Germans will have diff cuity in checking this advance eyer on the Cambrai. St. Quentin and Lao1 line even though that means a con siderable shortening of the front. Gen eral Foch has the enemy On the rul and his plan is to allow them nt breathing spell.

DISTRIBUTING THE PEACE FUND


 When Theodore Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel peace prize he saw the opportunity of putting it to work for the furtherance Of peace in the future rather than devotin- it to his own uses. The money was placed in the hands Of the United States government for the purpose of estab- fishing peace commission.
 inasmueh as nothing had ever been done with it. war conditions blocking any possibility of such step at this time, and with so many uses for ev- cry available dollar in various branches of Humanitarian work to- day 1t was a justified appeal which Colonel Roosevelt made in asking for the return of the fund, amounting to ever s45.ooo. that it might be divided among war relief organizations and some immediate benefit be gained therefrom.
 Having been put in his hands. the rx-president has proceeded to make division of the money and as might . bave been expected the way in whicl he has distributed it is above criti- l. cism: The Red Cross receives tht largest amount s6.s00. with the nex largest sum. $5.OOo. going to Mrs Theodore Roosevelt. Jr.. for her worl In France. Then follows gifts of s4, t00 each to the '. NJ. c. A., Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board Salvation Army. and Y. W. c. A while the remainder is divided amonI organizations doing work of relief il practically all of the allied nation and for certain war relief work il four states of this country.
 For the motive which prompted nim and the manner in which he ha - aisoursed the fund. Colonel Roosevel is to be commended. It is bound t. 7 leEve a great and good purpose.
