London, Nov. 8. The magnitude of
tli victory on the last fteek end be
comes every day mora apparent. For
nine months the enemy has been 're
treating on the line of the Meuse, but
now he has reached tho last stage of
hit Journey. The surest sign of victory
Is that his tact stage has been more
rapidly cone through than tho first.
A month ,bo It teemed possible that
the Germans In France might be com
pletely enveloped from eaet to west.
Then Ludendorff threw up the sponge.
Jjtter this dunger receded. Ludendorff.
who had set the peace negotiations In
motion, drew baelc because he then
thought the German armies could be
extricated without disaster. It was too
late for the first memorandum Inviting
negotiations. He hnd been too persua
sive and when he changed his mfnd he
psrsuaded no one and he resigned.
Now the prospect for the German
armies has darkened again, and, whereas
n week ago moat people would have
prophesied that the Germans would es
cape without Irretrievable disaster, now
ruin again stares them In the face.
When the enemy Invaded Belgium It
was partly In order to get command of
the railway communications In Belgium
end Frannc What wo are witnessing
now Is the destruction of the railway
system of communications which
tempted the enemy Into Belgium.
But Two RodIci Stilt Open,
There are five main lines of railway
communication. The first Is through
ulle, the second through Valenciennes,
the third through Maubeuge. the fourth imcn- contracts must continue on a wide
down the valley of the Meuse and the' Kale- Th.,s circumstance applies to a
fifth through Metr. Lille and Valen
ciennes have gone and Maubeuge Is
threatened. The Meuse railway Is still
open, but over the Metx railway there
Is no cross communication between It
end the other railway systems. The net
result of the recent operations Is that of
nil the railway lines only the one down
the valley of the Meuse below Mezleres
is working properly. Two have been
lost, one through the Meuse Valley is
threatened and the other, the Metz rail
way. Is working In connection with a
different base, so that the east and west
wings of the German armies now havo
been separated.
Tho mouth of the pocket Is narrowing
from Avesnes east to Mexleres, where
the Meusa railway enters the cover of
the Ardennes forest. The distance Is
about sixty miles, and through this nar
row passage the whole of the German
armies now In France have to' squeeze.
In other words, the waist of the German
lines; say between Lille and Verdun, has
been compressed to one-third its former
dimensions. That gives an Idea of the ;
Bgony In which the German army is now ,
passing. Nor Is tho worst compression
over. The enemy for good reasons has
held out on the line of the Alsne as long
as he could. That line now has been
lost for the whole length, thanks to the
recent activity of tho French and the
recovery of the American army from Its
transport difficulties.
Bottle Neck Is Xarrawlns.
The real squeeze of the German armies
is only Just beginning. Worse still, the
bottle neck through which It is passing
is narrowing, and the congestion Instead
of decreasing will tighten. It may even
be doubted whether the Meuse line will
be tenable.
One great argument- for pressing the
enemy's retreat Is that It might prevent
the enemy from rallying. The main ob
ject of a retreat Is to gain time, and if
time Is denied the last stage la worse
than the first.
To form a new llneand pull defeated
troops together after long and disas
trous retreat is under most favorable
circumstances extremely difficult. If the
retreat Is hard pressed and there Is a
suspicion of demoralization among the
troops it Is frankly Impossible. All the
indications ore that If the war were to
continue the Meuse line Is too near the
scene of the German army's disasters to
he a rallying point.
The military situation Is most (leaner
nte for the enemy. He Is In .danger of
having a largo part of his army cut off
nnd finding the pocket of his retreat
from the Alsne closed. Even if he
reaches the Meuse line it will be In a
state which will not permit Its rallying
upon It In addition. Just when he
wants every man to protect himself he
iinds herself flanked on another front,
on the side of Austria.
Kven if ho escapes a military debacle
there Is the threat of political disaster
and a still more terrible end.

IVorlc on Peace Plan.
, OmeJali In Washington In general
will not talk on peace or reconstruction
programmes until the end of tho war,
but there Is no disguising the fact that
Administrative effort Is being centred
on the peace programme.
Plans of the War Industries Board are
shown In the following statement :
"For some time 'to come, assuming
the armistice will be signed, for a period
to be determined by the war making
agencies of the Government. Govern-
considerable share of present contracts.
"As tho demand for raw materials Is
lessened by reduction of war require
ments and cancellation of war contracts
the raw materials fo made aval
able will be released and allocated
by the War Industries Board for use In
supplying civilian and export demands
which through curtailment have been
held In check during the war. In ad
dition to the ordinary commercial re
quirements there will be a heavy flow of
materials thus released to supply the de
maud for the great reconstructions!
work required by the European coun
tries. "At the same time there Is to be a
gradual lifting of the restrictions and
curtailments that have been Imposed
upon Industry by tho exigency of the
war so as to allow as promptly as po
sible free flow of all supplies Into peace
'Channels.'
The reconstructed preference list will
confer priority In the distribution of raw
materials, transportation facilities, latwir
supply and manufacturing facilities on
,h Industries which are nnraeed In
turning out materials needed most In
meeting civilian needs at this time and
In restoring the economic fabric of the
country. The work of recasting the list
will be carried out along lines similar to
those followed In mobilizing the lndus-
ttlal resources for war purposes.
Principal Construction.
The construction of new ships, the re
habituation of the railroads. Including
production of new equipment and rolling
stock as well as materials for repair
work, the manufacture of machinery for
replacement In factories ana in tne can-
nine and packing or rood are tne prin
cipal factors which ure being considered.
Fixed prices on commouities ana ma
terlals for-whlch the demand has ex
ceeded the supply during tho war period
will be rontlnued in effect for an in
definite period. Gradual changes, re-1
ductions or Increases will be made as
circumstances Justify. Minimum prices
will be fixed only In Instances where the
welfare of the country Indicates the
necessity.
Special effort may be made to control
placing of large foreign orcfers In this
country calculated to disturb domestic
conditions or force prices to abnormal
height!.
Requirements of France, Belglunvand
other nations for rehabilitation will be
located and cleared through the War
Industries Board during the period be
fore the return of peaco Is proclaimed.
Ntnndardlsntlon to Go On.
The standardized types ot shoes and
other articles of apparel which have
been fixed by the boanl will be continued
In effect until their removal can te ac
complished without serious loss or hin
drance to other activities.
Factories and mills which have been
subjected to curtailments and restric
tions under the classification of non
essentials will be given wide opportunity
to resume operations;
Legislation to continue tho Food Ad
ministration Is designed to make the
organization a bureau of the Department
of Agriculture. A bill has been drafted
and approved by the President.

Washington, Nov. 8.-F!ve Senators

at the resumption of regular sessions by
the Senate Monday. In recent elections
seven changes were made In the person
nel of the Senate, but for the present two
of the new Senators will bo delayed In
taking their seats through different clr-
The Senators who wll! step to the Vice
President's desk on Monday will be
George II. Moses (N. H.), who succeeds
Senator Drew, appointed for the Interim
since Senator Galllnger's death : Selden

deceased; Charles B. Henderson, who
will succeed lstnsolf after having been
appointed to serve out the term of the
late Francis G. Newlands, and Frederick
Mulky, who will succeed Senator McNary
of Oregon.
Senator Mulky's service will be but
for a single diy. He was elected for
the short term from Oregon, while Sena
tor McNary was elected not only to serve
out the term of tho late Senator Lane,
whom he succeeded by Gubernatorial ap
pointment, but also for the long term
beginning March 4, 1919. It was under
stood between Mr. Mulky and Senator
'McNary that the former would tike his
seat and at onco resign In order to In-
suro the continuous tenure of Senator
McNary.
liov. Augustus o. Stanley, wno suc
ceeds the late Senator Ollle M. James
(Kentucky), will not come to Washington
at once. Senator Martin Is serving by
appointment, Ssnntor-clect Stanley Is
not expected for some weeks. He has
ben elected for the remainder of Sen
ator James's term and also for the
term beginning March 4, 1919. A deli
cate point at law; may bo raised as
to the right of a' State to elect a Sena

Tills complication wos avoided in the

Honors.
MANX HIS CHIEF IUVAL
Former Floor Leader Has
Jinny Enemies nnd May Not
Ilccover Health.
Special Dttpatch to Tmb Scv.
Wabiiinoton, Nov. 8. Although lie
publican organization of the House and
Senate Is still possibly more than a year
distant those leaders who are In Wash
ington arc already soundlnx out senti
ment on how the House shall be organ
ized. It Is the conviction ofMnany mem-
hers of both parties In Congress that
the necessary reconstruction legislation
can be enacted. The special session
would bo the first of tho Sixty-sixth
Congress ana Itepubllcan majorities
nould rule In both branches.
On , practically all House committee
chairmen practical agreement has been
reached already. .In nltnost every In
stance tho senior Itepubllcan member
will succeed to tho chairmanship. In
the organization, however, three more
Hepubllcans are to be added to each
of the big committees nnd there will bo
a scramble for these positions, lapping
orf the surplus Democrats to rut down
memberships on the big committees to
nine Is ;iot a matter or Hcpubllcan con
cern. Mann nr Cllletl for Sprnktr.
The Itepubllcan Speakership Is caus
ing some concern. There are several
names up already, but tno ore being
considered most. These are Represen
tatives James U. Mann (111.) nnd
Frederick II. Glllett (MusO
Representative Mann fori long time
wts Itepubllcan floor leader. The strain
under which he was working finally re
sulted in a general breakdown, and he
has been absent from Washington many
months trying to win back his strength.
His friends are confident that he will be
fit to resume his Congressional duties
ififhln :i trve months, but whethef he will
be equal to shouldering the rcJiymsInH
Ity of the Speakership or becoming Re
publican lioor leader again Is problemat
ical. If Mr. Mann feels equal to the
task It means n hot contest In the Re
publican caucus to determine which man
'he party will support to succeed
Speaker Cl.uk.
It ls'the general belief of the House
leader that acceptance or rejection of
the Speakership lies in the hands of
Representative Glllett. He hni been the
actual Republican leader throughout
mot of the war legislation and Is the
ranking Republican on the powerful Ap
propriations Committee. Whether Mr.
Glllett wishes to retain his connection
with the Appropriations Committee and
become Its chairman or give that up to
ho Speaker Is largely In his own choice.
Outlook- Knvora Glllett,
If the matter comes down to a contest
In the Republican .caucus between Mr.
Mann and Mr. Glllett present Indications
are that Mr. Glllett would win. Mr.
Mann on account of his temperament
made many enemies in the House, and
there is a general feeling olpn that -Mr.
Ulllett is now more laminar wim war
witn wf
i-tlon plans
leclslatlon nid the reconstnii
and should have the choice between the
Speokershlp and the chairmanship of the
Appropriations Committee.
It Is certai.i there will be no fplit
when It comes to the actual election of
the Speaker In the House- Republicans
will settle their own differences before,
coming to n vote, for with two candi
dates there would be tho possibility of a
Democrat grttlng a majority vote and
