1XND0N, Jan. 15. 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.

PKTUOtiliAl), Jan. .". 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.
"The new premier," Ibis pnper snys,
"has retitcratcd tho many laudable
sentiments of his predecessors, hut in
each of his declarations there is n
'but.' Collaborating with tho dumn
is necessary, but tho government enn
uot tolerate such events as took place
recently. Public organizations are
necessary but only so long ns they
currv out their duty. Meetings can
be nllow d.beut there must be a reason
for such meetings. In other words
everything can be allowed but every
thing must be under the supervision
of the bureaucracy.''
TO
WASHINGTON, n. C, Jnn. 15.
Francis J. llcncy of CnlifomiH has
been asked by Attorney General
Gregory to take charge of the prose
cution of the print paper conspiracy
cases, according to information from
an nulhorative source.
Several of the most influential pub
lishers arc said to have united on
Ilenev us the mini best qualified to
handle the cases and lo have brought
very strong pressure to bear uHn the
attorney general to induce him to take
this step.
llcncy served the federal govern
ment with signal success years ago
when he prosecuted the hind-fraud
cases in the northwest. His great
reputation as a prosecutor, however,
is based on his successful handling
of Ihe graft cases in Sun Francisco.

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.
