The Times' military correspondent maintains that the prolongation of the war, "as the result of the foredoomed failure of the peace move," throws on all tho allies the duty of making greater efforts in order to deserve victory. He says that Germany did not wait for a reply to her peace offer, but Initiated measures a month ago to expand her supply of men and muni tions. "We ought to see," the correspond ent writes, "clearly enough now that our efforts on land, especially on the western front, have not been ade quato to secure a decision, or even to deserve It." Uoforrlng to the Imputation, "with a tendency to exaggeration," that the British have two million men Id Prance and the French have threo million, he says: "Statements of this nature servo rather to obscure the Issues than to Illuminate them. The truth of the situation in the west Is that Ger many has 128 divisions opposed to us and that the number of French, British and Belgian divisions Is not yet such as to promise a decision In an offonslve war. Tho offensive de volves on us in order that we may eject the enemy from tho territory of our allies and such an offensive against mpitern means of defense, do ponds on a great superiority in strength, bartlcularly In heavy guns. Infantry end all other modern ma chinery. Before the war we sup posed a two or even three to one su periority not too great for the at tackers, and I must repeat again that we have nothing llko this superiority and that victory depends upon it. It iB always possible for the Germans to place in the west the floating bal ance of strategic reserves which tlioy used against Rumania and if in 1917 we only employ against the enemy a slight superiority of force, nothing better than a slight success can tie reasonably anticipated. "Wo need another sixty divisions in the west," he concluded. RAILROADS LOSE MAIL CARRYING CLAIMS . WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.

The spirit of the liussinn new year day gilded the politics which bus so loue appear ed in Ihe newspapers and lodity the publications pursuing (lie usual round of comment, indulge ill optimistic re views of the past mid forecast for the future. Leaders, such as the Zcinsky Soyuz, whose patriotic work in the face of great difficulties has gained the warm support and appreciation of ihe country, unite in expressing the conviction that the interim! affairs of Kussin are not beyond repair or so bad ns they have been painted. The newspapers find another cause for satisfaction for the allies' reply to the American note and comment on what they term their dignity as contrasted with opposite qualities alleged to be displayed ill the notes of the central powers. The Rcch, however, docs not lose sight of tho political situa tion or the new strength of the reac tionaries, as shown in the recent min isterial changes.

C, Jnn. 15.

His great reputation as a prosecutor, however, is based on his successful handling of Ihe graft cases in Sun Francisco.

Tho K. V. Itoau Co., Cleveland, O," Why should it? A cigar properly lighted, can't "gutter" (burn down one side) unless it draws unevenly. And it won't draw unevenly unless it is made unevenly. Now in the OWL you get the re sults of careful, hand-workmanship. The leaves are laid together firmly and evenly all around. No loose spots on one side and extra pressure on the other. No chance for the OWL to burn unevenly, because the OWL "draws" the same right across its whole diameter. Free -drawing and even -burning are two reasons why you enjoy smoking the OWL enjoy it once, twice and every time. - n- v?y M. A. GUNST & CO.
