ERMANY’S initial attack in the Cambrai sector is of a scale and intensity to indicate that Berlin may not have been bluffing when it has heralded with so much publi the mpreme offensive and “decisive moment” of the war. Surprise, it would appear, played no part in the present calcula- ~ tions. The German war lords made up their minds to launch a ter- rific drive against an enemy fully warned and prepared. After the first shock it is no doubt the German plan to seize upon any opening that promises advantage—as a foo systematically bombards an im- pregnable fortress and hopes for a breach, In the deliberateness of the blow and the calm preparedness of / the British upon whom it falls, there is something which presages a battle of the biggest sort, perhaps the greatest of all. If 80, it may well spread southeastward along the whole western war front, putting the French in action and reaching the sector where American troops hold the line. If the great test has come, the United States Is deeply thankful that so many of its fighters have already earned the right to places where they can do their part with the best. But the greatest battle of all times—if so {t proves— likely also to be the longest.

Democrats of New Jersoy the President | warns them that the old party slogans are losing their signifi- cance. The war is changing men’s minds and standards. In the political and economic reconstruction that lies ahead— every programme must be shot through and through with utter disinterestednoss; no party must try to serve itself, but every rty must try to serve humanity; every programme, ery Measure in every programme, must be tested by this question and this question only; Is it just, is {t for the benefit of the average man without influence or privilege; does it embody in real fact the highest conception of social justice and of right dealing, without re spect of person or class or particular interest? The President is right. We are not going to make the millen- nium in one jump. But with tho minds and hearts of millions con- centrated upon the broadest pxinciple and the highest purpose to Wich self-governi:ig peoples have yet pledged supreme devotion, it would be strange if domestic politics failed to fool, even as interna- tional relations are oertain to foel, pressure carrying them a plano or two higher. No nation has come into the conflict from motives more con- sistently disinterested than those of the United States. Who can doubt that action from high principle has its tonic effect upon national as well as upon individual character? What olso is progress? ———- + LEAVE FRANCE HER VINES. ©NRY FORD said the other day that, while he is not » H Prohibitionist, he thinks France ought to root up her vine- and plant grain or potatoes, Henry admitted he half expected to “get in bad” for saying this We are surprised ho hasn't. It was @ foolish remark, however in spired it might have sounded to the Anti-Saloon League. For centuries there have been in France certain areas of soi! in which, as in no other soil in the world, grow the vines whicl produce wine grapes of a unique and perfect sort. Again and again attempts have been made to transplant theso vines to other countries, as, for example, to California. But though the vines may grow, the grapes aro never the eame. For France alone will they yield the wine that has made them famous. France holds secure and unchal- lenged the reputation they have earned her, while the whole civilized world, generation after generation, has eagerly bid for their vintages and sung their praises, Before the war, the wine France exported in a year was worth above 250,000,000 francs. In 1916, according to figures given by the Moniteur Dimecole, the production of wine in France was still 951,475,935 gallons. Those vines are one of the great national assets of the French bring in an income worth more than many times the same acre- age planted in food. As well ask France to root them up as ask the United'States to shut up its copper mines and set tho miners to » hoeing corn. No, Henry, let France keep her vines to help pay her bills They'll carn many a million yet ere the whole world goes dry. T Would it be indelicate to inquire whether the new Russian army is to be organized only to be disbanded again when somebody stamps a foot in Berlin? Also, whether the Russian railroads are to be put in order for the greater convenience of German forces penetrating into Russian territory? ss MAYBE A LOAN, TOO?

FTEN it pays to answer adver- tisements, just as surely as It pays to advertise, That was the fact Impressed upon Theodore Hetzler when he applied to the Fifth Avenue Bank for tho Job of messenger. The bank had made known through an advertisement it needed a young man to run errands, And Hetzler thought that he would make a first rate bank messenger, Tho oMfcial in charge of employment was willing to accept the risk, and Hetzler went to work. As a messenger he did very well, so that he soon became junior clerk. Starting at the age of fifteen, he was fairly on the way to an assured posi- tion by the time that his majority came around, The Fifth Avenue Bank's business was expanding rap- idly, and Mr, Hetzler found rendy- made opportunity at his hand, He fully comprehended the value of this opportunity and set out to equip himaelf for whatever might lay ahead. Having such a thought as that in his mind, {t was natural that the chance should come when he might begin to usa the knowledge acquired After a time he received promotion to @ better post, in the loan depart- ment, and there his horizon was still further broadened. Presently he be- came assistant cashier Both the man and tho Institution wore advancing. The new post meant Before F orty From Messenger to President of Fifth Avenue Bank the Record of Theodore Hetzler. C. Young 1918, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World), increased responsibilities of no mean sort. Mr, Hetzler handled his duties in a way that earned him another step upward—this time to be cashier. Here was a real executive position, demanding thorough understanding of hig task, the ability to think quick- ly and decide things for himself. Evidently he measured up the situation, for we find him becoming vice-president. There he remained but a short time when the Board of Directors elected him to a place on that body and made him President of the bank, He was just forty years of age. It has been said that a man's suc- cess must not be measured so much by the rank that he has achieved but as gauged from the place where he started. Judgod on that basis, the progress of Mr, Hetzler assumes new interest. For he began at the bot- tom rung and mounted to the top- most purely by force of application and thinking ahead of his Job, Since he has been identified with the ex- ecutive branch of the bank the inst!- tution has made its greatest advance- ment, All of which would seem to indicate that he has a good grasp of that vague but important thing called a bank's policy, Aside from the bank's business “Jr. Hetzler is interested in several other enterprises, although ho devotes by far the major part of his attention to running the job won by patient effort. He is known to a good many Americans as Chatrman of tho relief committee formed tn London at the outbreak of war to help send them home.
