battle front.
FURY IS SPENT AND
SECOND PHASE DIES
After Three Days Fighting Ha* Hesolved
Itself Into Isolated
Engagement*.
(Sunday.1
The second phase of the great hattie
along the Somme. which the Germans
began on Thursday last, has
died down. It lasted less than three
dayR, and the fighting has resolved
ftself into more or less isolated engagements,
in which the French and
British allies have more than held
their own.
The attention of the Germans f'.r
the present is mainly directed at the
lower end of the battle zone, which
apparently they are attempting to
onhirge for the putpose of getting
elbow room in which to move their
vast masses of troops.
Meanwhile, General Foch, the commander-in-chief
of the allies, is beuaander-in-chief
of the allies, is biding
his time, meeting the German as
HamiH wun powerful resistance, and
here and there conformine his lines
to the necessities of the battle. It is
confidently stated at Paris that Foch
will not be drawn into any false
move?where each move is of such
vital importance?but will strike
with his reserves at the moment
chosen by him.

There may be some significance in
the report that the German emperor,

front on Saturday with his chiefs

outset of the great German offensive,
when it was sweeping the allied
f?rces before it, notwithstanding
thoir tenacious resistance, Emperor
William. it was announced officially
from Berlin, was in supreme cc
raand. That announcement was
garded at the time as evidence t
the emperor expected a complete i
decisive victory. Since then, h<
ever, British and French and Am<
eon reinforcements have come up
The British on Sunday engaged
sharp local fighting at various poll
and repulsed German counter ;
tacks. They also drove off by i

50 For we ask nothing that we are not

was justice or dominion and the exe-''(
. cution of tl eir own will upon the j
' other nations of the world, that the '
German leaders were seeking. They |

their awn will.

"The avowal has not come from I
Germany's statesmen. It has come j
from her military leaders, who are
' her real rulers. Her statesmen
j have said that they wished peace. I

sion. Their military masters, the
'men who act for Germany and exhibit
her purpose in execution, projclaimed
a very different conclusion
I We cannot mistake what they have
! done?in Russia, in Fanland, in the
Ukraine, in Rumania. The real test
| of their justice and fair* play has
'come. From this we judge the rest.
They are enjoying in Russia a cheap j
triumph in which no brave or gallant
nation can long take pride. A
great people, hopeless by their own
act. lies for the time at their mercy.
Their fair professions are forgotten.
They now here set up justice, but
everywhere impose their power and
exploit everything for their own use
and agrandizement; and the peoples
of conouered nrovinres nro invito

"Are we not Justified in believing ?
that they would do the same things *

should propose favorable and equita-jj
