LOOKS LIKE A ROUT.

Every American hangs on the news Jtoday whether or not Foch can bring jup his divisions fast enough to prevent I any reaJignaaeiit of. the routed |Iun armies. 5*| If the Queant-Droeourt line fails to }»old, the whole Hindenburg line will Jj,. become practically useless. With the

British pouring eastward around the S northern end of the line, Hindenburg's ,i old positions will be no resting place I for the bard pressed Germans. If,

Within the next few days, Byng's men succeed In pushing beyond Queant they wilt be" in the rear of the Ilindenhurg line before the main German army of Picardy is within a dozen miles of it. Not only will the Hindenburg line be rendered absolutely ung* tenable, but the Germans in the ft BommP region will be compelled greatA ly to accelerate their retreat to escape 3 annihilation. Along the Oise the *1 fVench are already far enough advancfd to prevent any southern avehue of escape being opened. The Ger- •*, mans will be compelled to run straight ea&tward, and they will be compelled to run at a rate of speed which will tjuit« upset the carefully laid retreat plan* of Boehm and Ludendorff.

Fof tho present, therefor®, he tJueant-DrocOurt line hnldp the attenj* tion of all students of the, gigantic battie. The possibilities in this region

V «re so great as to be practically beyond fcalculation. Tomorrow, or next 4 faeek, »ome other phase of the battle may assume larger importance. The

Frence advfyice along the Oise may threaten a premature breach of the |f.Hindenburg line at another point. The jp very audacity bf endeavoring to de»trov the Hindenburg line while the

same time adds to the world's admiration for the brilliant strategy of the allies' commander-in-chief. It is a game at which Foch cannot lose. If the Hindenburg line bolda,^ if the Queant-Drocoiirt anchorage is not torn loose,* he wiTl have done all he set out to do this year and all the allies expected him to do by forcing the Germans back to tlteir 1918 starting place. But if the hindenburg line is smashed, and smashed before Boehm can even reach it, there can be no foreseeing the victorious possibilities of the coming autumn.

WINNING ITS WAY.

The standard gift to a soldier nowdays is a good wrist watch. This suggests the nation that it took a world war to save this convenience from the prejudice with which it was first met.

The

discoverer of the wrist watch

branded it as essentially feminine by building it on lines sufficiently dainty for lily \white wrists. The fad was so well received that soon every woman from the smartly gowned one, who marked time between social engagements to

the

little girl who waited for

the store's closing bell was telling time by a glance beneath the ctrfT. Watchmakers recognized greater possibilities for this convenient timepiece, their offering of a masculine variety was met with ridicule. The lowest form of contempt was to accuse a man of wearing a. wrist watch. After a few daring ones tried them out oh the golf links, or when motoring or hunting, the word went round that they were really very practical, but no one ventured for business wear.

Along comes the call to arms and the war department* claimed the wrist watch for its own. It produced a mannish timepiece with a nickel plated face guard, and buckled it with a leather hand on the sturdy wrists of the nation's fighters.

The one tim4 scoffers now regard the I. W. W.'s

This seems by far the better way. The public, like the players and the baseball magnates, has accepted the ruling of the War department in the proper stirit. It has not complained because of the arbitrary cutting short of the slimmer sport season, and it has realized from the first th« justice of the government's decision. Americans have long regarded baseball as the greatest of all games. Now they recognize that a far greater and more serious game is being played, and played for a great prize, on the battle fields of Europe and in the munitions plants of their own land. They have regretted,. but hare not protested against

THE WORLD SERIES.

Weather permitting, the first game of the world series will be played on the bulletin board at the Tribune office this afternoon.

Provost Marshal Genera 1 Crowder has done the sporting thing. Keen in bis appreciation of the American publi!.X interest in baseball, he has ruled that the much curtailed season of 1918 may at least come to satisfactory closf.

*. WISE INTERVENTION."

President Wilson is credited with the compromise proposal which is acceptable to both the prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists in congress. This proposal is that instead of congress parsing a "bone dry'* law to be effective on the first day of January next, the( operation of such a law shall be deferred until the first day of July, 1319. That would give those who are engaged in the man\ifactqre and sale of alcoholic beverages an opportunity to put their capital to other uses and also allow the federal and state governments more time to provide new revenue in the place of that destroyed by a prohibition law.

The evil

the 'whole prohibtion

movement has been that its advocates have sought to rush it. through congress as an emergency war measure, and without regard to the sentiment of individual states. It made no difference that a. large body of opinion in the country and in congress considered this to be unwise, -ft'made no difference that the president, himself was opposed U"haste., Fanaticism is not to be denied, not to be balked of its object when an opportunity is presented to cajole, scare or coerce legislators or to capitalize war, time conditions for purposes of piimptuaf^1 control.

Prohibition may or may not become universal after the war Is over. The proposed law limits it to the period of the war. .^Afterward the people of the several states should be permitted to determine exactly what measure of indulgence

they

shall permit them

selves or whether they shall banish alcohol in all of its forms. Prohibition should not be fastened upon them permanently by federal process. It is a condition that can be loyally accepted and firmly Established in every commonwealth where the majority of the people approve of ft. That is the democratic and genuinely American way of doing things. The states that want prohibition need not quarrel with or complain of the states that do not want it,

Germans dropped TOO shells into a village that had been evacuated by our men on the previous day. That's one way to shoot without fear of reprisals.

Germany has devised a substitute fodder for cattle. .And it doesn't fool the stomachs of the four-legged ones

It isn't in line with America's program

of conservation to throw shoes away before getting every atom of wear out of them. Millions of dollars are unnecessarily wasted in that way and leather prices are consequently boosted by the same process. There is a shortage of leather and has been for some time. An almost unbelievable quantity is consumed by our tiffhting men. You can give Uncle Sam a lift by having your old shoes repaired. Let

flThis is an unimportant day in planetary direction according to the reading ot astrologers. While Saturn and Venus are slightly benefic in aspect, Neptune is faintly adverse.

It is a sway under which to pursue routine occupations, venturing nothing new and taking no risks.

There is a sign fairly promising for lov% affairs, "Which under this government. are likely to be less romantic and less lasting tlmn under other rules of the stars.

In the operation of the law of extremes, which will gain domination during the n^xt few years, an age in which machinery is developed to its highest possible achievements will also encourage the handicrafts and pay tribute to craftsmen.

When the sun enters Libra this month, at the beginning of the autumn quarter, the aspect will be most auspicious for great prosperity and for lasting benefits to workers of every rank.

Persons whose birthdate It is have i an active and successful year before them. Business will increase and finances will be satisfactory.

Children born on this day will likely be talented and industrious. These subjects of Virgo are usually successful in their business affairs.
