WHYNOT WAR ON ALLOURENEMIES? GROWING DEMAND FOR DECLAR ATION AGAINST AUSTRIA, BULGARIA AND TURKEY, U. S. 'POSITION ANOMALOUS May Hamper the Plans for Unified Ef fort and Decrease America's Influ ence in the Conference of the Allied Powers. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.-It is apparent that a feeling is growing rapidly in Washing ton circles where influence most counts that congress may be asked, after a proper nmanner of asking, that war be declared against Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. 'erhaps congress need not be asked. The presilent, some legal authorities think, can order Germany to be struck through her allies. It is fair to say that military author ity in Washington seems to feel the United States will not have as much influence as it' ought to have at the war conference with the allied powers unless it shall declare hostilities against the three countries named. The thought seems to run along lines like these: Edward M. house, Gen. Tasker If. Bliss and the other Amen cans will have only a small pIart in the formulation of a colplete ilan of mull itary nnspailgn uinless the United States shall put Itself in a position to make the great eninpaign a telling one, and this some of the imilitary experts believe, will be possible only if this country shall take n direct hand in the fighting against the Austrian, the Bul garian and the Turk. As the thing seeisn to be viewed by military iuen of reputatIon here, the1 war can be brought to a coinparative ly quick coneilusion only by adopting dove-tailed plans and mtking a con lessed effort. 'hu is believed to be Impossible unless the United States soon shall change Its benignant aspect I toward the Austriann, the Bulgariansi 1111(1 the Turks. It is pretty well known in Washington thatt the representatives i of the allies have been unable to ui- t derstani why the IJUited States is not l willing to punch Germaniy's partners.

It is recognized here that the extent and ruthliessnss of the diestructloi of French towus by the Germanis never has been fully undlerstood in some parts of America. When the boys have began to write home anl tell what they have seen, Washington belleves the letters will have an arousing effect. Fate of Sermaize an Example. Two years ago the writer traversed that section of France through which the American troops have Just marched to reach their place on the battle front. The Americans, if their route has been traced accurately, passed through the town of Sermaize, or Whit t once was the town of teirmalze. They saw a little city of 5,000 inhnhitants level with the earth, not one huilding left standing. There was no military reason for the lestruetion of this town. llundlreds of the villagers' homes which 111(1 stood for centuries were (estroye(i by the 1111(18 of incen the lestructlon which the shell fire huud begun. In Sermaize there was a fine old church. The sanctuary was entirely destroyed, but the shell-riddled tower still stands. As a matter of fact thei church tower is the only thing which does stan(1 in SermIlnize. On the front a1ppears the date of its erection-1093. Scores of Villages Razed. Sermaize is only one of the ruined tillages through whlich the Americans must have pas1e.

BOCHES TAKEN BY SURPRISE ranks Play a Big Part in the Sensa tional Victory-italians Bravely Re. siating Powerful Attacks of Austro Germans-Enemy Aliens in Amer ica Under Surveillance. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Lieut. Gen. Sir Julian Byng simnshed i great hole in the Hindenburg line etween St. Quentin and the Scarpe. leneral Diaz and his heroic Italians ut a stop for the time being to the [euton attacks on most of the Piave iver line. General Allenby and the iritish army in Palestine moved teadily on to the envelopment of .Je usalem. The French struck the rown prince's forces a hard blow in he Aisne sector. I'resident Wilson >laced the severest restrictions on en any aliens in the United States. Altogether it was not a pleasant veek for Kaiser Wilhelm. General Byng's sensational advance, which was begun Tuesdny and con tinued through the week, was hailed as the greatest British victory since the Somte. Its success was due large ly to tle element of surprise, for the British had been delivering their pre 1a1ratory artillery fire much farther north and then suddenly attacked in the Camnbrai sector, taking the Ger mans quite unawares. Generai Byng, who (levised the plan and whose army carried it out, first sent out a great niutubrci of tanks, and as these cleared away the, harbed-w'ire entanglements andl broke through two of the strong est lines in the German defense sys tem in the wvest, the infantry and cav airy followed with a rush that car ried all before it. The Germans were demoralized, and for many hours of fered little resistance, surrendering by the thousand, and the British mlovedl rapidly forwar-d, taking village after village, and quickly consoliidat ing the enemy positions, which had not been badly dlemolisb~ed by shell fire. Almost to Cambral. On WVednesday the resistance of the enemy stifened1 considerably, but to no avtil, for the British pushed on un til they had put behind them the towns of Mosnieres, Ma rcoi ng, Ribecourt, H avrinacourt, Graincourt and Fles quieres. The tanks still were leading the way, and co-operating witth them were the mounted forces, which have had so little opportunity for real ac tion, Bly Thursday noon Blyng's troops were but little miore than twvo miles from Cambral, andl his big guns had begun to shell flhat most important German base and railway center. The British swiftly built rondls and light railways ner-oss the capturedi sec tion up to their new lines and also be gan to wideni out their salient, which at ftrst was dlangerously sharp. Crown Pr-lace Rtupprecht rushed up masses or troops and took up a str-ong position in BourlIon wood Jutst north of the British salient, dominating the imme diate region, lie also pushed the ad vance posts of the British out of Fron taine Notre Dame, but they held and consolidlatedl all the rest of the terri tory they hnid gained. Thie secrecy which enveloped the preparations for this great movement was astounding and speaks volumes for the skill of the British command ers aind the efficiency of the aviation corps which prevented the enemy air scouts from discovering the massing of troops and tanks. The Cambral sector had been quiet for a long time, andl the Germans considered that part of their dlefenise lines impregnable. They also thought an attack in force on such dlefenses could not be made successfully without artillery prepa ration. At tremendous cost they have learned they wore mistaken in both in stances. Attack Has Several Objects. Aside frort the capture of Cambral andl the pos'sble forcing of a general retreat of the Germans on the wvest front, the Immediate object of this B3ritish offensive probably was to re lieve the pressure on the Inalian -.d E'/e D ta only' Rte Ne'G he , rhi7sh aeboknngea n -hoht, An ot hve bee tae fro'te usia :sent to replaceeth won-u div"sion NTI 'i andes, others poably w tu lrnedctowrds''tc yi the Gree fo tr Not mavny col bhetused anttakly twin '1toi honrowess of the faii front.

That, he as serted, was now to be remedied. Next day, in the Anglo-American war council, the premier made his call for as many American troops as pos sible, and said the easing of the pos tion of the allies depends entirely on the dates on which the American pro gram of launching six millions of ship ping in 1918 comes into practical ef fect. He asserted that the most dras tic food restrictions were about to be placed on the people of the British isles, and said he regarded the tight ening of the blockade as of next im portance. Russia Asks an Armistice. The ltussfian government-meaning the bolsheviki group in control of Pet rograd-on Wednesday instructed General Bukhonin, the commander in chief, to open negotiations for an arm istice with the commanders of the en emy armies. Bokhonin refused and was deposed, being succeeded by En sign N. Krylenko - of the navy. The kaiser is reported already to have refused to ti-eat concerning peace with any but the legalized suc cessors to the government of the czar or the constitutional assembly when it meets, but the way in which he hams denuded his eastern line of troops shows he has no further fear of hostile action by the Russians. Whether or not he is justified in this attitude is uncertain, for there come from Russia stories of violent protests against a separate peace by the peo ple, and in some cases by the soldiers. General Kaledines, hetman of the Don Cossacks, was reported to be marching toward Moscow with a large army, and in a very roundal)out way came the story that these troops had been turned over to Grand Duke Nich ohms, cousin of the former czar, in pur suance of a pl1an to restore the imon archv with the grand duke as regent. Latest reports of Kerensky were that he was at Luga with two army corps that remained loyal to his faction. The fallen premier, however, seems to be quite (out of the rec-koning.

In viewv of the conditions in Russia, the United States has stopped the shipment of suplplies to that country. Restrictions on Enemy Aliens. -President WVils-on opened the week auspiciously by issuing thle long-need edl order- placing all enemy aliens un dler strict surveillance and imposing drastice restrictions on them. They are barred from the District of Columbia and Panama, from all shipping cen ters andl all domllestie water-s except on public ferries, and1( may not travel or change thieir- plaCe of ablode or occu pation without permission. All enemy aliens are to he requlired to register. The proclamtationi applies only to Ger man citizens or subjtects at present, but congr-ess may be asked to declare war against Austi-Hungary, so that the thousands of Austrian subjects also may lhe labecd unader surveillance. Squeclchlinig the opposition of a few pacifists, the American Federation of Labor,. in convention at Bluft'nlo, em phatically indlorsed the position of Pr-esident (Tompers, that union labor must work hand in hand wvith Presi dent WVilson and place the neceds of the nation above all other considera tions ill quest ions involving the wvork eiinn's part in the prosecution of the wvar. As a result of a long conference Thursday afternoon between President Wilson and the presidents of the four brotherhoods of rail wuy employees, the chief executive believed the danger of a general railway strike-wvas gr-eatly lessened if not wholly averted. Mr. Wilson intimated that lie thought the men should have higher wages, and the brotherhood beads said that, though they could not promise there would be no strike, they would "co-operate with the government to the utmost extent in arriving at a just and equItable na well as patriotic conclusion."
