NEW YORK. Sept To- Except for
salient southeast Of st. Quentin and
double salient north and south of
la Fere the Germans have now re-
tired practically to the HindenburG
line along its entire length. A mile or
two of Terrain remains to be covered
at places before the Germans are
everywhere back in the same footsteps
that marked the starting place OF
their spring offensive, but fer prac-
tically all military purposes the allies
have regained practically all the ter
ritory over which Won Hi1denburg
swept this spring iq an effort to win
the war by ruthlessly sacrificing Ger
many's manpower. The situation con-
fronting Hindenburg is the same mill
itarlly as at the end of last winter.
Effort Now Appears Tragedy.
At that time the general staff de-
c.ded the only way to win the war
would be to gain a DECISIVE victory be-
fore the Americans Millions had be-
gun to arrive in France. The at
tempt having been made it IS now
seen to have been one of the most
ghastly in history. The relative
strength of the German and French
armies has not been changed in Ger
many's favor while most Of the best
of German shock troops lie sn ceme-
teries in Flanders. Picardy and Cham
pagn. At the same time the Ameriv
cans are filing into France. giving the
allies every two months as many
troops as the Germans can find for
themselves in a year. The chief re-
suit of Hindenburg's fiasco. apart
from the terrible depletion OF German
reserves. is the loss of German mo-
rale.

Increased Output of Crystalline
Graphite,

The production of crystalline graphite
in the United States was increased last
wear about "a per cent, amounting to
approximately $500 tons, against 5,466
tons in 1916. About go per cent. of the
output in 1917 was fake graphite suit
able for making crucibles; the remainder
was dust graphite. These figures are
made public by the United States geo
logical survey, department of the inte-
rior, as a preliminary estimate based on
the work of Fl. G. Ferguson of the sur
yey, with the assistance of ID. II. New
land Albany, N. Y; Charles +. Pettinos,
New York City; B. L. Miller, South Beth
lehem, Pa; and A. b. Conklin, Ashland
Ala.
The production from the Alabama field,
instead'of being more than double that
of 1916, as would have been expected
from the large number of new companies
entering the field, shows only slight in
crease, for owing to freight embargoes
the Alabama producers have been unable
to market their product. The other pro-
ducing fields have made notable in
creases in production but not sufficient
to increase greatly the total output.
The imports of crystalline graphite in
1917, as shown by the records OF the Du-
reau of foreign and domestic commerce
of the department of commerce for the
first ten months and as estimated for
November and December, amounted to
more than $4,000 tons, of which $4,000
tons came from Ceylon. If the Alabama
producers could have had free access to
the markets, much larger proportion of
our needs could have been supplied from
domestic sources.
The value of the graphite produced in
1917 is considerably greater than that |
produced in 1915, for No. ] flake has |
commanded a higher price and many of |
the mills marketed a larger proportion |
of this grade in 1917 than formerly,
Figures showing the production of |
amorphous graphite are not yet avail
able.
