(Canadian Press Despatch) New York, Nov, 1---Under the cap- tion, "Germany Stands Al:ne," the New York mes thig morning edi- torially says: "Germany now stands alone. Abandoned one after an- other by all her acdomplices in the crime of 1914, she confronts Lhe wrath of the civilized world infinite- ly the greatest malefactor of all, the Instigatal of the war in which her allies only did her bidding. She has shown no pity herself; she deserves none. Sha is a criminal pation, whose offenses transcend all human experience, and the concern the world Teels a¥ to the degree of her punishment is that it shall comple- tely and forever put it out of her er to bring about another em- roilment of the nations. The Herald Says: "The capture by the: British forees of the Turkish army which has been operating on the Tigris, undoubtedly bears re- lationship to the cause of surrender made effective yesterday.

The character of the ground will change after we cross the Meuse. The French and Americans are al- ready sensible of this change, and they. will become still more impraas- ed with it as they advance. The front of Ardennes facing south is paturs ally strong, and favorable for defen- sive warfare. The French have before them now from our right to the Americanileft, even 'on the left bank of the Meuse, a chain of wooded heights, and on the south the upper streams of the Oise and the Serre. Along these heights we find in succession from right to left, the forests of Masearin, Signy, St. Mihlel, Nouvion and Tre lon, all of them good for defense, and essentially Infantry ground. Similar wooded heights confront the Americans. It is the ante-room of the Ardeune region, Assuming that our armies and®the Belgians remain on the left of the Allied line, in the general advance from the 'Meuse eastward, we shall have as our front the Belgian Ar- dennes first and a country of not very dissimilar character, until we. reach the Rhine, Luxemburg, with Eiffel and Hunsruck on 'the morth and south of the lower Moselle, will be in our path, FAMINE FOR TWO YRAEKS.

Washington, Nov. 1.--Indications are that the total of the' fourth Liberty Loan would reach $6,500,- 000,000. ' Basing their calculations on re- ports from banks throughout the country, together with official fig- ures from most states, officials said an over-subscription «to the great loan of $500,000,000, probably had been made. Every federal reserve district has its quota "In sight" on official figures, -while hundreds of thousands of dollars continue to pour in, To exceed an over-subscription of $500,000,000 there must be an aver- age over-subscriptign in the twelve reserve districts of $45,000,000. Few of the districts will not have a iarger figure than that, it was as- serted. Chicago, it was believed, would have §$100,000,000 over her quota, and New York is expected to show $90,000,000 over.
