in Seclusion—-vSure to Decide for
Liberalism.
Just what reply the. United States,
will make to the Pope’s peace pro
posals remains a matter of specula
tion. One thing is certain: this gov
ernment will make a separate reply,
distinct from that of her allies.
Divergent views as to President
Wilson’s intentions continue to cir
culate. The Philadelphia Public
ledger insists that a “flat rejection’*
is no longer considered, and that the
president is going to utilize the Pon
tiff's message an a lever for world
lib* ralism. The New York Times
points out that the response of the
United fAfates creates more Interest

It Is sufficient only to point to the
as fully that the war can never really sudden change wrought In the am
end and security be eafabllahed for' tude of the Hrltish government to-
the future until Germany has become ward the Stockholm conference and

final utterance to show the tremen-

democratised.
- Hut the point they make Is that a
liberal acceptance of the principles
of the Pope’s proposal on the part of
the Allied democracies would show
the larger •vision toward the attain
ment of that very object which tjie
whole democratic world ardently de
sires.
^ It is unthinkable that the pres
ent German government will ac
cent the Pope’s unqualified propos
al. A government dominated by
a, Hindenburg and a Ludendorff
does not dream of withdrawing
, from military conquests on every
| frontier, particularly when those
conquests Aire fairly secure until
next summer and when the war
spirit of the nation is on the top
of a wave.
■■ , question of Poland can never be set-
There is simply no argument, it is ^j e( j jjy conference. How then are
inconceivable. German autocracy they t0 be settled? The obvious un
does not think in those terms. It 1 8 w*er is that they will never be set-
will refuse the Popes proposal or at- ned in any other way than by con
tempt to modify it out of its in- ference unless the war is to continue
tended-form. 'forever, and that the present is as
But it will- not refuse them until good a time as any for the confer-
the burden of refusal has been placed to iu<L-in
upon it,* until the onus has been
thrown on Germany. It will wait
and see what the Allies do.’ If the
Allied democracies refuse the |»ro-
posal. then Germany can accept it
safely, and the whole diplomatic vtc-
doua leverage which Russia exerts
upon European politics.
. Last, but not least, there is the
actual dependence of the Allies upon
America for the maintenance of the
war. Both American power‘and pres
tige are at their height to-day on
the field of International politics.
With Russia as certain backer', there
is no reason why America can not
take the initiative out of the 'Pope’s
hands and establish a liberal policy
for the Allied democracies.
As for the arguments of those who
claim that the Pope’s proposal should
be flatly rejected, they are easier to
say than to support. One hears it
asserted, for instance, that the ques<-
tion of Alsace-Lorraine can never be
settled by conference, or that the

Looks for Big Effort Boon.
In September, 1915, the first of
fensive of the Allies in the west was
launched, ttfe British in combina
tion with the French driving against
that section of the line in Artois be
tween* Givenchy and Neuville tSL
Vaast, north of Arras. The main
objective on this front was the City
of L^ns, the cenfre of the coal min
ing iihiustry of France. This posi
tion was defended by two strong nat
ural positions, the ridge of Vimy, on
the south, and Hill 70, on the north.
In the south the French were
checked before Vimy Ridge could be
taken, partly through the German
defensive measures and partly
through, the necessity of shifting
troops to' the north to aid the Brit
ish.
The Hrltish were checked for sev
eral reasons. In the first piuc«< their
artillery preparation, until then the
most violent that the war had seen,
was not sufficiently thorough and
did not destroy the barb-wire en
tanglements In the second place,
the chalk pita of llnllnrb. along the
rand from l^ens to La Hasaee. and
the slag heaps from tbs coal mine*
had bsea Individually and collscttvs*

The British artillery has been
throwing g volume nf shall grsater
thau aaythlug the war has yat wit-
neased The local objective lu each
rasa has been literally deluged la
steal, ao that It U Impossible for any
thing to be left alive whan the In
fantry moves forward. The reeult
has been that. |o each case, the in
fantry has ranched Its objective with
much smsller loss than that suffer
ed by the defense.
Of course, the German artillery Is
busy at the same time as the British.
When the British infantry begins its
advance the German , barrage also
begins. But It is also true that the
British artillery is far superior to
the German in numbers and in abil
ity and is much more effective.
It Is noticeable, too, that the
points selected by the British are, in
each case, of considerable local im
portance and bear a direct relation
to the maintenance by the Germans
of certain Important points in their
line. The British are, therefore,
gaining the mastery in two ways.
The first is attrition; they are kill
ing more Germans than the German*
kill of thc*m in every fight. The sec
ond is, that they are acquiring pos
session, one aft€»r the other, of all
the important points dominating the
present German* lines. From . the
Alsne to the sea all of these points
have been taken. The time, there
fore, for a general offensive on s
larger scale than anything hitherto
attempted has almost come. 9 .
The other most important feature
of the week's fighting was the llrit-
*lsh Krenrh ’attack between Ypres
and Dtxmud* This attack followed
the usual artillery preparation and,
combined with the former offensive

Strong protest against the training
of negro and Puerto Rican troops at
Camp Jackson was lodged Saturday
night with Newton D. Baker, secre
tary of war, by Governor Manning.
The governor also addressed a tele
gram to the members of the South
Carolina delegation in congress urg
ing their co-operation to prevent the
mobilization of the blacks at the Co
lumbia cantonment.
Governor Manning sent the follow
ing telegram to the secretary of war:
“I protest with all my power

and negroes of North Carolina. South
Carolina and Florida st Camp Jack-
son at Columbia. It is essential that
negroes and Puerto Ricans should

There will have lo he some inter
change of thought with the govern*
ments of the European allies, as It
Is to be presumed that these govern*
ments are more anxious to learn
America’s mind on the question than
America is to learn theirs.
In the meanwhile Liberals assert
this announcement of the state de
partment’s to be of extreme signifi
cance and a distinct victory for their
policy. A Liberal answer, as they
analyze the Allied situation, would
of necessity have to be made by
America independently. That she is
to speak independently presages the
whole program.
Conservative arguments, opposed
to any acceptance of the Pope’s pro
posal, follow the general line of ar
guments made in opposition to send
ing Socialist representatives to
Stockholm or of arguments made, in
favor of a dismemberment of Aus
tria-Hungary. It is easy to recog
nize the reactionary tenor.
The Conservatives say that the
I*o|>e has laid down no basis for a
lasting peace, and that he lias pro
posed nothing hut a return to the
status quo ante helium. They say
that the Pope has offered impossi
ble terms, but neither France nor
Germany would submit Alsace Ixir-
raine to negotiations and that the
whole proposal is merely a German
trick to get the Allies into a confer
ence and break down the w»r spirit,
whereupon she would refuse the
terms and nothing could be done.

The Liberals feel that Russia is
the crux of the situation. If the
Russian republic were to fall, the
cause of democracy would be set
back a, jjeneration. There is no
blinking this fact. What German
autocracy most fears is the Russian
republic. With that out of the way,
the situation would be tremendously
apd vitally changed.
From all this the Liberals feel
that the only solution of., the tangle
is for the Altted democracies to show
a favorable disposition toward the
Pope’s proposal. They have all con
fidence that this policy will be
adopted by President Wilson and
carried through. They rely upon his
inherent liberalism, which has never
failed to disclose itself In a crisis of
world peace. ‘ •
It. is plain to he seen that in fid-
lowing such a course the president divergent views and interests regard
will be likely to antagonize tempor
arily the Allied governments in
.Europe with the exception of Russia.
It Is fair to assume that the Russian
republicans wjll respond sympatheti
cally to any act of the president’s
along the lines of world liberalism.

t*nly one ptiini In a very long battl#
line* worthy of romment in con
nrrtion with the series of similar
•mashes which th# British troops
hav# mad# this year Nowhere has
there been a sustained offensive, no
where an effort to take this or that
village. On th# contrary, ther# has
been a series of blows delivered on
widely separated sections of the bat
tle front with no one objective com
mon to all. •
The first blow that was struck
while the Germans were in retreat
was arrinst Vimy Ridge. That nqw
belongs to history and was. as we
know, a complete success. After a
period of quiet, another fell, this
time in the north against a suppos
edly impregnable position south of
Ypres, the Messihes-Wytscha^te
Ridge. This was followed by the
blow in the north against the Pilken
Kidge, and now we have witnessed
the drive against the Lens defenses
bn the north.
One may well ask what the object
of the.^e widely separated moves can
be? One thing we must realizes—
the British ami French propose to
drive the German* from their pres
ent lines ami make their entire force
recoil/from France and Belgium.
This is the one great objective to
ward which till engagements even
tually lead. They know, moreover,
that they have the power to driv^
Germany out'. It Is merely a ques
tion of how to do it with a minimum
loss to rhemselVei*.
In a senso, it is s question of eco
nomics. Is it worth an expenditure
of this many men or that many, to
