THE CRISIS OF A GREAT BATTLE.

Possibly in the next two weeks we shall begin to see
the real results Of the offensive the allied forces have
been waging for two months. The German armies
are being handled by skilled leaders, disaster would
have overtaken them before this True they have had
great losses c0nservatvey estimated at million in kill
ed wounded and prisoners since July 10TH but there has
been real rout These losses than could
be expected in such long continued struggle when mil
lions of men are engaged.
Marshal Foch has in some measure been responsible
for the ability of the Germans to give way steadily with
out breaking their front and inviting disaster He has
evidently from the first moved cautiously avoiding costly
errors and conserving his reserves Gradually he has
worked the enemy out of their strongest dnseS and
he may utilize large part of these reserves in striking
blow that may be farreaching in its results He knows
that the German power of offensive is gone for all
time to come Ludendorff or Hindenburg which ever is
really in command started the March offensive with about
900 the battle line Half of these are out OF
the for good probably but renforcemens have been
drawn from every possible quarter to partially fill the
depleted ranks Probably all his available manpower has
been called outand the allied armies still push him back
ward He has reserves with which to stage an often
sive of more than local character, if at all.
Foch may be expected to strike hard at Vulnerable
paSs of the weakened line and then may see the real
results of his campaign which begun with the stroke south
of the Marne in july
The German leaders playing the war game skill
fully but they facing victorious enemy numerically
stronger and all their skill may not avail them in attempt
ing to save the great army which they would like to see
posted firmly behind their border defenses. Their
task the more difficult since they opposed by mas
ter strategist like Ferdinand Foch.

Salem, Or, Oct II, 1918.
Editor of the Journal: Dear Sir
Kindly give little space in your open
forum to state what in my opinion
should be the answer of the masses, to
to Germany s last peace note.
What our Answer Should Be
Imperial Chancellor; Sir-We have
the privilege to acknowledge receipt
Of your note of the 9th inst, in which
the imperial government has asked the
government of the United States to
enter into peace negotiations, also to
approach our associates on the question
of an armistice.
In view of recent events, the gov
eTgment of the United States views
such a move as impossible.
The imperial chancellor has declared
in his message that the government of
Germany has changed its pOliey-in
what way, we are at loss to under
stand, as the truth of your statement
is smothered in the smoking ruins of
French and Belgian cities, and your
voice is drowned by the roar of guns
that are shelling the ifebcats of tor

Therefore, the government of the
United States and its associates have
resolved, that:
l. Until the organized outlaws of
the imperial government shall have
ceased to wantonly destroy, burn and
pillage invaded territory,
Until the Prussan hordes shall
have ceased to starve, enslave, rape
and slay the helpless victims of war S
