THE TURN Or THE TIDE
The swiftness of the change In the
war picture between the third week in
July and the first WTck In October
will be one of the wonderi of hlxtory.
It la almost Impossible to think that
three months ago the question that
waa in everybody's mind was not
whether the alllea could hold their
lines before Amtvns and along the
Marne, but whether they would not
be obftged to abandon Paris. The
change came on July 15 when the
French and American troops mot and
defeated the German advance near
ChatsauThlorry. From that day to
this the vtory has been one of almost
uninterrupted success, culminating in
the surrender of Bulgaria. It h Ijo
hatardous to venture a prediction of
the Immediate consequences of this
submission, but it is plain to ordinary
common sense that in Bulgaria's plea
for an armistice we have seen the be
ginning of the end and that the w hole
structure which German intrigue built
up and German skill in arms ruMainvd
Is about to crash to the ground.
What is the cause of this tudden
breakdown? Is It uot that the central
European powers are far more ex
hausted than the people of this coun
try have realittMl? Four years of in
cestan; warfare has left them skele
tons' of nations, depleted in economic
resources, In money, in man power,
and la "will to conquer." Bulgaria's
desertion Is as gocd proof as can bv
n?eded cf the condition of her former
allies. The Bulgarians entered th
alliance from confidence in the power
of Grrmany. They default because
they are in a position to know that
Gorman power has all but disappeared.
They were accomplices. They bare
turned state's evidence to save their
nick. But there is abundance of oth
er evidence that Germany's strength
has been waning. The number of
prisoners taken by the allies is proof
that they are pursuing a beaten lie.
It Is all very well to talk of "deter
mined rear-guard actions covering an
orderly retreat." but when the rear
guard dees not fight, but surrenders.
And when the number of heroes who
would rather yield discivetly than die
on their guns amounts to a quarter of
x million, vre know that a rout is near
U hand. There Is fierce resistance
At manr roints. but it is the fierceness
of despair that fills the hearts of tts
eiders- The Eghiing toward the close
cf a war Is apt to be more savage
than at any other time. The allied
troops may suffer temporary reverses-
It is not wise for them to relax. But
the end is Indicated by every potent.

45,000,0OO INDEMNITIES TAKEN
FROM BELGIUM
The huge sum of 1465.000,000 had
been exacted from Belgium by Ger
many during the three years ending
lastNovember, according to Lord Rob
ert Cecil.
"These monstrous exactions will be
fuken Into account when peace terms
sre arranged," he adds.
This turn Is exclusive of enormous
"fine on Belgium cities and confis
catory exactions from firms and per
sons which have amounted to no more
than ordinary theft. These exactions
have not been estimated, but no doubt
will equal or exceed the "official" pay
ment demaudid from the Belgium
government.
iHiring 1915 and 1916 the Germans
exacted from Belgium an Indemnity
of 40 million francs ($$,000,000) a
month "for the expenses of administra
tion." At the beginning of 1917, how
ever, the Huns found that, while Bel
gian Industry was paralyzed, the banks
ft ill had plenty of cash on hand, so
they raised the indemnity from 40 mil
