The situation of the miles on the west front Is critical, but toot as bad as the Germans would have us believe. After aij,jnonth of fighting, the allies are still in possession of the strategic centers which the Germans Jmd planned to capture. The offensive of Held Marshal von lias developed witlfbclentlflc precision, but he bus found himself hulled at every step forward.! While the allies have not" attempted an offensive of their own and, therefore, are under the necessity of continuing to withstand repeated enemy blows, they have been so successful on the defense that they fhav not yet been compelled to .surrender a central base of operations. The loss of Ypres has been forecast In the dispatches and the world expects the British to retire from that historic salient, but If the retirement is made In good order to a near-bline, the allies will still be In strong position for the defense of the chnnnei ports of Dunkirk and Culalfc. At the same time they will he able to boast that they have niade the enemy pay deurly, if not quite enough, for whatever gains he has made. The loss of Ypres and a large part of the last remnant of Belgian Flanders will have a depressing effect upon the Belgians and, perhaps, upon the British and French, but Ypres never wus a great supply base. It was a kind of advance fortification. The loss of the surrounding high ground Is serious because it forces the British back into the. low coastal district and gives the enemy the best observation, posts.

We WAR PROPHECY COMES TRUE Russian Banker's Prediction Seven Yeare Age Provided for Famine and the Bankruptcy of Nation. Only seven years ago M. Bloch, the great Russian banker, wrote: That ,1a the future of war not fighting, hut famine; not the slaying of men, but the bankruptcy of nations, and the breaking, up of the whole social organization of the nations." . The future of war, as written aboj by 1L Bloch seven years ago, loathe present of war today, observes Vernon Kellogg In the Atlantljv Not that fighting and the slaying of men are lessened. Only thnNapoleonic and the Thirty Yeara'wars approach today war in the terrible losses of human life Komi too great a drain on the human life of any one or several of the natlons engaged may be the factor in the wars conclusion. But on the whole, and as matters stand today, that part of M. Blochs prophecy referring to the predominant influence of the food problem in modern war is thoroughly borne out by the facts. Despite the fearful and fatal struggling of an incredible nnmber of men, consuming inconceivable quantities of monitions, and using such amazing methods of fighting as are beyond even the fantastic imaginings of the ro mancers of a decade ago, the national and international phases of the food and general economic problem are the predominant features of the war situation today. de-eldi- , v s yr "e .v. x two-ounc- kve ..y you BOYD PARK y Vlllere-Bre-tonneu- Siling u I Fighting Men From This Side of Ocean Face Enemy Line, Being Confident They Will Bar Germane From Parle and Amiens. y m to quality i .liveware. kero, yle prigovern vIu.
