' The battling Is the east, la the. Balkan, along the Rus sian frontier and against the Turks, can not compare in significance with that la the west No amount of suc oesa in other fields can make up for losses which the Germans may have suffered or may yet suffer In northern Prance, and neither could unbounded victory elsewhere have saved the al lies from the disaster of defeat in the west The retreat or the Ger mans In France must therefore mark am epoch In the war. It Indicates - more strongly than words that the kaiser baa no thought of continued offensive and the conquest of terri tory from the French. And when Germany ceases to consider advance, and no longer anticipates a victorious march that may even yet lead into Paris, she all but acknowledges de feat ' Yet Germany, In an attempt to keep the spirits of her people aroused calls this retreat one of the victories of the war. Giving back territory that cost millions in men and trea sure la the taking, Germany hails as victory. May such victories hasten the day when Germany, laying down arms in a lost cause, will declare the greatest victory of tbem all won a victory over autocracy and the as cending of democratic rule over Ger man soil. , Germany's greatest victory .will come when she follows in the . lead of Russia, and wipes absolutism from the books. It will in truth be a victory for the common people of Germany. " ia - : A NATION PREPARING " The civilian in the east is keeping step with the army and navy In prep aration for war.

Not only did the Germans wee that part of Franc they are relinquishing clear of homes, sup plies and roads but In many cases they swept It clear of Its woman hood. In some districts women between 15 and 50 were forced to go back In to the interior of Oermany. The Inhabitants left .behind were given to understand they were being forced to work for Germany. At Rouy le Grand today I was told over four hundred women between those ages had thus been driven to the Interior for work. When I asked "why?" the refugees merely shrug ged their shoulders. An old man he said he was B told me in a quavering voice as we stood on a mined street at Rouy le Petit: ' "I have lived three miles north west of San Quentln since a year ago, when the Germans made me dig trenches along with hundreds of other Frenchmen. They paid us fifty cents a day and it was script money, which Lille and other French cities had been forced to print for the Invaders. "The German line, on which we worked, Is extraordinarily strong. I am positive the Germans intend to hold If they can. "It Is about a mile wide, covering the support lines snd communicat ing trenches and roads and with enormous fields of entanglements. "Months ago the German forces came here with a number of other old folks like myself and children. Both men and women from 15 to SO and In some districts up to 60, were forced to go into the interior. I understand they were forced to work for Germany." 1 'J t , i i There Is no doubt of the strength of the new German line on which this old man and scores of other civilians bad worked; As the Franco British ' forces approached nearer it today the fighting became stiller and stiffer.
