While the reports from the battle front indicate that the allies have eontinued to advance their lines east- ward in the past 24 hours. it is evi- dent that increased attention is he- Ling miven to the importance of driv- ling the wedge Into the Hindenburg line to the east of Arras as far as possible for the effect which it is bound to have upon the defense of that line when the Teutonic forces have been forced thereto. This is 2 section of the liné where the Germans made their least pros- tess in the drive of the early sum- “mer but it is a point where the Brit- ish have been successfnl in securing territory which not been in their hands for over four vears and where they have a chance to penmetrate still further w railroad centers of Doual and Cambrai as their objec- tives, Naturally the Germans have been oftering resistance in that lo- tality through a recognition of the danger which would threaten from the outflanking of the Hindenburg line &t that point, for not only would the gllies be zble to operate under in- ereased ntages against the de- fenses at St. Quentin, La Iere and Laon but it would be possible for them to strike north against Lens and Lille from which heretofore they have been effectually kept. W the persistent drive in the morth as well as the soutl, and the uccess attending it it is impossible to tell where the allies are goinz to be brought to a halt but from all indi- eations it is not the intention of Gen- eral Foch to let the enemy make the salection. He is now using his forces %0 that he will make tha on for himseif. decis A PROPER DECISION. Much satisfaction is bound to be expressed throughout New England as the it of the decision of the te Commerce Com fon fa- to the petition of the New en road which asked for author- to retain and operate its water Hnes. There appeared to be sufficlent rea- €on for this action a long time ago, ailroads were given sim- but the commission red to convince them- $elves from chservation of the work- vorable inge of the system and that beinx the rase the granting of the petition indicate that the test had the necessity .of leeping the hes under the game manage- fnent as the steam lines. When the commission declares that the water services are being operated under present conditions in the inter- g¢st of the public and are of advan- tage to commerce and a convenience 1 the people, it simply supports ghe position that has been maintained by thiose in New England who have rec- ognized these facts right along and who understood the handicaps and barm that could be expeetsd to result £ the road was forced to sell its wa- ter lines. New England for the most part protested csainst any change and the docis: dicates that those who ore @ependent upon the service have beer given some consideration. The one great surprise in conmnection tharewith however Is the fact that It required four vears in which to get 2 decision: still the commission 's to bo congratulated on its finding. proved fvater i UP TO SPAIN. Germany has been very anxious to fad out whether Spain is sincere In its declaration to the effect that it will take an interned German vessel for every Svanish ship that is sunk, or whether it is bluffing. But it ought ot to be held In suspense very long now that it is announced that the Spapish steamer Crusa has been sunk by a U-boat. It must be perfectly apparent to neutrality. which Spaih has given and apparently | h believes that it can frighten it out of| its threatened aetion. \ : It 1 therefore a time when Spain must stand up for its rights as it never has before. To back down now means that i must henceforth hold its tongue and take whatever treat- ment Germany is inclined to give. As a matter of fact Spain should pro- ceed to take over all the Interned German vessels instead of one for the last Spanish ship to be sunk @ven though it means a rupture of diplo- matic relations and what Invariably goes therewth. The next move is up to Bpain. THE MAN POWER BILL. Now that it has been passed by both houses of congress all that re- malns js the president's signa- ture to make the man power bill law and steps will be immediately taken to put it into effect. In fact the machinery of the govéfnment has been at work for some time upon the provisions which thers was good rea- son to belfeve would be approved and preparations have Leen given full at- tention. ‘That a bill of sueh ‘far reaching in such a remarkably short period of time stmply indleates how thoroughly convinced the country is Of its ne- cessity. It is realized throughout the nation ‘as well as in congress that this country is determined to carry cut its part in the great war. There must be no half way measures. Hyery bit of pressure which this country ean bring to bear must be exarted. This does not mean that the United States has got to do it all for the other na- ons which, are allled with it will continue to contribute to the man power of the ailied forces but we can- not overlosk what they have already dbne and what they did before we entered the war. By the new law which has just been enacted and the time in which it was under considera- tion It is evident that vongress has appreeiated the' importance of giving the government every possible assist- ance in bringing our man power to hear unon the enemy and forcing an early termination of the struggle. By the provisions of the bill there will be placed at the command of the government the men of the country between 18 and 45 vears of age, the increase being about 13,060,000 and they will be selected as rapigly as oesible for the serviee for which they are,the best fitied. The astion should chow Germany where this couptry stands if it did net understand before POOR DISPLAY CF PATRIOTISM.

It can be readily imagined what the uation would have been had th's nd of a stand been taken by the manufacturers. Without regard to the welfare of the country. with pa- triotism entirely disregarded the ma- chinists are insisting that each and every dsmand he met whethor it is justified or not, and by the decision already rendered it is net. It is & situation which does not reflect any credit upon the machjnists, or in fact any bodv of workmen who take a like stand, and it is certainly deserv-| ng of no sympathy. It savors. mor of the I.

The farm houses of Massachusetts were Wwhite, braod, and genial, their acres gently undulating; New ' Hampshire farms were fower, small, gray, lonely, weath- er-beaten, ‘beautiful but - aloof; their fields had become pastures, rock-ribbed crowned with juniper, darkened with sweet fern.' In Maine thé hills were higher, the flelds broader, the trees larger; a certain ascetio grandeur ap- peared and grew with the passing miles. = The skyline, high above Néw Efg- land hills, showed the heavy, many toned clouds of o Maxfleld 'Parrish drawing, as tangible and as sunlit for all the pines that shared their beauty— pines siraight and serried or solitary and grotesque.

It only takes a few words from a respectable source in this world to make the road for the vilest imposter easy eand smooth. It is our tonceits that makes easy vietims of us. An exhihited weakness has always been a rogue's oppertunity. Our mistaken Idea of riches leads to all kinds of venture: and vices. It was Joaquin Miller who said he Lord of love whose power goes forth in pity, to stir the si¢eping flelds and move the clouds from o'er the city, breathe on my heart and let me know the gladness of the way I go!" Where this life ends below it begins above— if we lose ourselves in Him we shall not be strangers in His kingdom. The soldier “Over There” is far from home, from staunch friends, from good counsél and it is not strange that memory is broad enough to hold and ponder upon and cherish it all. In the face of all this disorder and dissolu- tion, memories of the good old world behind him seem like glimpses of heaven; and the thousht that if he ever lives %0 get home he will show he is worthy of it are all just as nat- ural as thoughts of peace and love and quietness. There are always with us remains of the good things we once did not seem- to. recognize, or to be conscious of; and ‘when We behold life at its worst and fiercest we recall not only pleasures, but good counsel and even eur own remissness. It takes a good deal to make & man take account of himself, and usually when he does his balances are not satisfy- ng. When a man's spiritual vision becomes a nightmare he is anxious to awaken to better things. len't it singular that no one con- demns war with more vigor that the great generals of the past. Wellington said the sight of one day of war was sufficient for life; and Napoleon de- clared war was the busiress of bar- barians. Gen. Sheridan eaid there had never been a yar in which blood- shed had been invoked, that could not have been settled without appeal- ing’ to the sword. The wars of all time indict man as a savage more ferocious than the wild beasts he hunts and elays. The eentiment of the world today is against war; and it is time it ceased to be the sport of royalty. The prayer of all nations is that this may be the last war among the natlons; and the idea of a league of nations to keep the world sc well policed that another such war will be impessible ought to find favor with onough nations to make such a ban effective. An American neéwspaperman has been abroad and visited the zrand fiset composed of 76 miles of battle- ships; and this is the message he brought from the boys in the trenches: | “For God's sake tell the foiks to write” The absent lads can stand the trials of the front, but they want the cheer frem home, which we should be ashamed to deny them.

Enlisted men and officers have heen told what to do and what not to do; all their admonitions have bee based not on theory but on actual experiences, gained in the face German fire, loosed always upon the slightest Intimation that the tanks are Jumbering to the front. But as a reminder, perhaps, that the enemy's fire is seldom affective 1¢ the insignia adopted for the American tank corps—two salamanders; crawling creatures that worm their way un- harmed through the fliame and smoke. It is expecied that because of ths excellence of the weapon with which it will fight and the training it has undergone the American contingent will prove itself exceptionally effi- clent; for, even as the American en- gineers have been careful to combine in the American tank the best fea- tures of those now used by the Brit- ish and the French, so have the in- structors of the personnel been scrup- lqusly careful to inculcate the most advantageous methods of offence and defence. Further cause for believing the American tank corps will live up to the estimate of the British instructors is the character of its personnel, both men and officers. They are carefully selected men, picked from the thous- ands who volunteered when the call for tank men was made. Two base requisites were insisted upan: first, every man must be physically fit, and, second, temporamentally adaptable, The training every man has received has meant either that he is delivered to the commanders at the front as a wonderfuily efficient unit or is mer- cilessly thrown out of the service. He is turned over to the fighting force as an expert mechanic, 4 man drilled in the operation of both machine guns and heavy ordnance, a tactician and strateist, and, finally, as a man with no_evidence of “nerves.” British trainers at the little coun- try town where the Americans have béen coached have been careful to ex- plain to the men, as they weeded out the unfit and those not temper- heen the upright, there is crowded the crew.
