LOYALLY.TO PLEA I0F GENERAL HAIG (Contim4 From tt Otn.) doubt that ret erres in sufficient num bers to warrant a counter-, offensive wer? available.,; behind the fighting front, and they also noted with satis faction Georal Haig's announcement that , French ; reinforcements were ; coming up.; -Jv' ( Germans in Jeopatdy. ln;the view of some officers the , German front a t now stands, places the Germans in jeopardy in two places. The wide salient driven .oward Amiens appear to make them susceptible of flank assault by the French from the south and southwest, while in Flanders the narrow salient Iriven into, the British lines leaves the Teutonic flanks exposed. , There are many reasons, it was said, to anticipate that any French counter stroke, designed to take pressure off lie. British front in Flanders may be delivered south and east of Mont lidier," For this reason developments it Hangard, gallantly regained by the French today, . are being followed :losely. The participation of American :roopa with the French in vigorous re pelling of German assaults, as re ported by the French official state ment', was welcomed by officers here. They saw in the report-evidence that :he men have all the dash and enter wise expected of them and are com ng into action like veterans. Naval Action Forecast. Intimations from neutral sources .hat Germany has been preparing for i naval offensive, as contained in press reports reaching this country, llready have come to the Navy de- jartment in a , more . otncial way. Mobilization of naval reserves at the leet bases, assembly of supplies and sther activities indicating plans for a lash, to sea, have been transmitted - lor some weeks. , Navy officials, however, were in douht as to the extent to which these reports are to be credited. In 'some quarters the .sudden drop in subma :ine sinkings last week lent color to :he possibility of a German naval Irive to supplement the land cpera :ions. the explanation being that the mbmarines had been called in to pre- are tor co-operation wiih the fleet. Undoubtedly, it was said, the Ger man drives in Picardy and in Flanders were for the purpose of capturing the channel ports through which British troops and supplies flow to the front.

We cannot at the present time talk of peace, we cannot even dream of peace and the man who dares to do so is either a fool or a traitor.

Talk Before Liberty Bank. In his talk before the Liberty bank at 2 o'clock Mr. Shaw declared: "God Almighty must have loved the people. I believe that is why He brought on this awful war. "Two weeks before this awful car nage began in July, 1914, Kaiser Wil helm called his admirals, generals and bankers together and asked them this question, 'Are you ready?' "The bankers were not. They asked two weeks to prepare. Original copies of the cablegrams swamping America with orders to sell American securi ties are now held by the government. Billions and billions of dollars were disposed of. And then the war be gan. "Back in a town in New York state a woman told me her story. She hai asked for two Belgian orphans to raise. They came. Neither infant had hands only pleading stubs exam ples of ruthlessness preached into every German. "This is no time for bunkism. This is time for action. That thin line now being held by bleeding France and England is all that separates Germany from the great British fleet, which the kaiser intends to use in conquer ing America."
