History.

The fifth German offensive be written OF
in the past tense. 1t has died out; ii is ex-
tinct defunct. 1t marks the turning point OF the
great Teuton effort to end the war before America
is ready to enter the the deciding factor.
What is the phase Dispatches last even
ing indicated shifting OF the German blow to the
Albcrt-Amens sector. If this is the case, Luden-
dorff is due for tough reception from the Brit
ish as he received from the Americans and the
French along the Marne For here the Foch re-
serves are concentrated, to a large extent. This
particular sector OF the 'front.' vital to the allies
will be defended with a stubbornness which will be
more than equal to the stonewa resistance between
Rheims and Dormans. 1t is not of the greatest im-
portance how far south the Boche penetrates; it
is OF vital importance how far west he goes.
In the meantime Baron Burian's peace offensive
has gone gIimmerng. Austria's gestures Of
chief interest indicating her attitude towards
Germany. There is no doubt that Austria yearns
for peace ardently; that Vienna has been pressing
Berlin to initiate bona hde peace overtures for
months; that the idea of acting independently of
Prussia in her relations with the is seriously
entertained by her officials. Baron Burian says
nothing which need distract. the eyes Of the allies
from the Western front for an instant His phrases
are guarded reserved, specious. and lacking in the
dehniteness that would mean sincerity. Austria is
merely feeling her way towards point of
view Prussia has ample warning that, if pam
Germanism is to rule her policy until the bitter
end, Austra-Hungary may be forced to break off
her tutelage. That day has not yet come and
short OF economical breakdown there is no as
surance that it will But that the rift is
widening between Berlin and Vienna there is not
the slightest doubt.
The failure in the West will have an explosive
effect upon the central empires, and will have
salutary influence upon Russia In the East, in
deed the situation is swinging wide from the Ger
man grip which few weeks ago seemed assured
Bolshevsm has passed its zenith Anti-Germansm
has become a positive, dynamic factor in the life
OF the nation, in its chaos. The tide is going
the right way. When the illusion of victorious
Germany has passed from Russian eyes, the great
Slavic people will be due for characteristic volte
face.
Those who assert that the Hun peril soon will
be mastered not wide of the mark 1t is foolish
prophesy, but it is pleasant to how nexorable
and inescapable is the law which is encompassing
the ruin of those who would restore barbarism to

Pour out the songs I used to sing

To the phantom OF spring
Long asleep?
o sing! for Love is singing;
Should not you carol too?
For on her fife enchanted Life
Is piping tunes for you.
Then let me tune my heart to love
And gently strum
The sad refrains know thereof
And softly hum
The little songs She used to Groom
Soft and low.
Soft and low,

Should not you carol too.

Our voices blendl
D hushl they told me love was dead
Love cannot end!
Two hearts by God joined on this earth
Make a whole,

Should not you carol too?
