U v 4 THE OGDEN STANDARD: OGDEN, UTAH, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1918.
I NO WHITE FLAG IN OGDEN.
5; This is the last day of the grfeat loan. By 9 o'clock this evening
Ogden must have subscribed its full quota. To do lessvould be as
disgraceful for this city as it would be for an individual to fall
if fshort of doing his duty.
j , J There must be no failure Those who pride themselves on mak
, fiing Ogden their home are obligated to keep the name of Ogden free
! SErom the stigma of a slacker.
! ; And Ogden must do her full part in seeing to it 'that Utah does
not fall into the pit of national discredit in this critical Jiour in the
sfight for decency and honor. '
i A number of the counties of the state have gone over the top,-
I including Salt Lake, which had ten million dollars to raise.
How embarrased we all would be, if Ogden were the one place
i yf size in Utah to display the white flag of surrender. "When troops
tin the field cannot make good, they raise the white flag and are
, bagged by the enemy. It is depressing when defeat comes on- the
battle front; it is equally humiliating when -the folks at home, called
Tpn to rally back of the fighting lines, fail to respond by lifting a
iwhite flag.

j I INCREASING LISTS OF
I CASUALTIES.
j America is just beginning to get well
;jnto the war. Our troops are holding
' Itbe trenches from near the Swiss- bor-
i ;der north to Verdun, and west of the
'Mouse to the Argonne forest. They are
i ' 'on both sides of the Meuse about Ver
I dun. They arc with the French on the
VOise and are operating with the Brit
' "ish near Le Ceteau where they are
helping to break a strong German line.
1 t With all these activities it is to'bc
IJcxpected the casualty lists will grow.
? . Great Britain, in one day, during the
fcbattle of the Somme, lost nearly 50,000
inien. Up to the present our entire
bosses, including those slightly wound
ed, are not much greater than this
one sorrowful day for the British.
We are in this war to Win, and arc
willing to pay the price in precious
lives, in order that American boys in
.'the future may be saved from a similar
? This war should be the last of great
farmed conflicts, and will be if Amer
ica does not for a moment relax In
frier resolve to avoid an inconclusive
peace.
So, even while the casualties are
growing, the cheering thought is pros
font that every life given now saves
hundreds of lives in the future.
I UNSTABLE SHIP
GOES DOWN.
Unsinkable, yet sunk. That is the
;cnd of the story of the Lucia, the un
sinkable ship.
t For a time the promise was held
out that the Lucia was to solve the
(biggest problem of, the submarine warl
$With buoyancy boxes occupying a big
Percentage of all available cargo space,
the ship was to proceed across the At
lantic and defy the U-boats.
5 The news today is that ihe chal
lenge was accepted and the vessel lias
gone to the bottom.
Those best informed on submarine
warfare, and the difficulties of trans
portation through the danger zone,
never accepted the Lucia as worthy of
duplication. Even though found to be
unsinkable ,the ship's carrying capac
ity was so reduced that, if all allied
- fch.pping was similarly treated, the
loss in cargo tonnage "would bo great
er than could be Inflicted by two years,
of the most intensive U-boat warfare.
II ONLY A DICTATED
I , PEACE. I
l : Having little faith in the German im-
perial government, a distinguished
HI writer advises the allies to go on with
wl their military operations until the ene-
i my is willing to accept whatever the
H leniency of the allies may dictate.

disintegration. In these circumstances
the eagerness of Germany to change
its activities from war to peace may
be easily understood.
"Now this great specialist In war
operations, this connoisseur in con
quests, seeking sanctuary from the
avenging sword of Foch, cries for a
peace conference- It Is significant,
however, that in the heyday of Its pow
er Germany sought to entice Its oppo
nents with the lure of a negotiated
peace. In this moment of its extreme
peril It asks in assumed humility for
what it pridefully offered to its foes in
more prosperous times. Meanwhile, as
President Wilson reminds the German
chancellor, the forces of Germany on
land and sea, continue to commit the
most barbarous atrocities. Clearly it
seeks peace in no repentnnt mood,
"Germany has endeavored" all along
to sow dissension among the nations
that stand against it in fight array. It
has conspired night and day to divide
and so conquer them. Its success in
making peace with Russia filled it
with particular happiness. Rumania,
forced to give up nfter Russia's igno
minious desertion, was thrust into
slavery by Germany. Against the west
ern nations German arms and German
intrigue alike have2 failed. Yet the
Caporctto disaster to Italy and the ex
posures of the Bolo trial, to mention
no other developments, show how per
sistently, how Insidiously Germany has '
wrought in secret for the downfall of
its enemies."
SELF-SACRIFICE. M&i
AND MONEY.
What will end the war? More
money, more man power and self-sacrifice
among the American people
In a circular sent out by the gov
ernment an excellent summing up of
what is required Is thus presented:
We are sending five million fight
ers over there. We can send ten mil
lion more to back them up. But mighty
Russia had as many soldiers, yet Rus
sia now lies shattered under the heel
of Germany.
The war chest of the allies was full
when the first gun belched in Belgium,
and it will still be overflowing when
the last shot Is fired In Berlin. But
dollars alone have never captured ono
lone trench.
The allies and America are over
whelmingly superior to Germany in
raw resources, and after the first six
months of the war Germany lacked an
adequate supply of almost every war
essential. But has Germany's armed
threat ceased to be a frightful menace?
The neutral nations of the world
alone possess a hundred million men
that the allies could utilize for work
behind the battle lines.
What then will win the war?
The indomitable fighting spirit of
the American nation; every man,
woman and child in the land backing
up the United States troops in France,
Jta.ly and Siberia.
Two Immortal words Cantigny and
Chateau Thierry prove the valor and
the competence of our American- sol
diers; but we must multiply their num
bers by the million if they are to cope
successfully with the vast Germanic
; hordes.
America's war chest, from which the
allies also draw, keeps no great sur
plus on hand; so the Liberty loans
must be subscribed, even to keep
abreast of daily needB.
The United States is the world's
greatest storehouse of raw materials;
but the war has already demanded
enough of one great staple, steel, to
tax that storehouse to Its depths.
The 'trained workmen and the fast
machlnefy of the United States have
no equals In high production; but the
war "has drawn upon both so deeply,
that purely civilian needs must be set
aside.
We at home, then, can best aid the
fighters
By fully using levery' expedient to
maintain the cheerfulness and the high
heart of the men at the front, and of
ourselves at home. A sad or gloomy
letter to a soldier is a bit of Hun pro
paganda. By cheerfully doing without things
we have been used to having, but
which are no longer obtainable be
cause of soldier needs-and Investing
the money in Liberty bonds.
oo
GREATEST WEEK OF
THE WAR.
This has been a glorious week for
the allies.
Lille, Douai, Roulers, Ostend, Bruges
and Zeebruggo have been captured.
Froni the sea to Verdun the Ger-
i
mans have been beaten back, ham
mered, harassed, whipped.
Tho once powerfully superior array
of Von Hlndcnburg has been reduced
until today it has but little reserve en
ergy with which to strike back.
Tho Belginn coast has been cleared
and the troops of King Albert are on
tho border of Holland, and between
them and the sea are 6,000 Germans
who, as a rear guard left to hold Zee
brugge, are trapped by a part of tho
little army which so heroically de
fended Liege in tho first days of the
rape of Belgium.
A number of the war correspondents
advise against too much optimism due
to all thcscvlctorics, but the Stand
ard joins with the highly optimistic in
looking forward to ah early collapse of
German resistance. Of course there
are influences at work -which, if suc
cessful, may cause tho fighting to pro
ceed through the winter and well into
the winter of 1910-20. Tho kaiser will
not yield unless he is overthrown by
a strong leader among the defeatists
of Germany. The world has a dark and
gloomy outlook for Emperor William,
if he loses'-his throne. He, therefore,
will hold on most tenaciously until
an overwhelming sentiment in Ger
many pushes him out of the way.
Now, if the kaiser can prevail
against the people of Germany who
want peace, the war may reach tho
stage when a desperately driven army,
fighting on its own soil and close to
its sources of supply will bo able to
prolong the war many months.
But there is no longer any doubt as
to the final triumph of Die forces of
General Foch. '

Germans Blow Up Bridges
WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES IN
BELGIUM, Friday, Oct. IS. -(By the
Associated Press) The Germans blew
up the bridges leading into Bruges
and left strong rear guards there but
these forces were sacrificed by the
enemy while the main body of his
troops and those near the coast has
tened to escape. Today has been fine
and clear and the Belgian airmen have
worked great havoc with bombs and
bullets among the enemy forces flee
ing through the gap between Bruges
and the Dutch frontier.
More Cannon Brought Up
More cannon have been brought up
and all lasl night and today they have
been pumping shells into the bottle
iicuu wuicu me (jermans are
retreating. From the amount of ex
plosive projectiles, large and small,
dropped on the Germans their losses
must bo tremendous. In addition, the
French cavalry has taken its toll.
Germans Paying High Price
The German army is paying.-! high
price for its attempt to retain its hold
on the coveted coast of Belgium. To
day's reports include masses of cap
tured documents which have fallen
into the hands of the Allies.
Count von Waldersee of the Fifty
ninth Reserve Infantry regiment wrote
that he knew his regiment was going
to bo attacked and warned his men
that the attack must be broken. In
cidentally the assault referred to re
sulted in the 'smashing of that regi
ment. This officer ordered all auxiliary
services to the assistance of the infan
try In the line "which needs all the
support Imaginable." ,
German Officer Admits Weakness
"The enemy's great successes have
strengthened his consciousness of su
periority," thtsf comnlander very frank
ly said. "The strength and condition
of our troops cannot bo unknown to
him and there Is no doubt that he
possesses the means to overcome the
difficulties which confront him."
It would appear from many docu
ments that the Gorman army knows
It has lost tho war and is bluo over
the fact, German soldiers on the bat
tle front have shown undue considera
tion for civilians.
In many of the towns whero tho Al
lied troops have swept past celebra
tions over their deliverance from the
Germans wore carried on all day today
by the people. The people have be
come so demonstrative in many places
that they have interfered slightly with
the work of the soldiers.
i Dandies Run For Lives
It has been learned from a resident
of Courtrai that Gorman cavalry of
ficers were giving a ball there cele
brating the return of peace on tho j
night the city waB taken. At the mid -1
die of tho dance British infantry which j
had broken through the defenses to the
west stormed into tho town and the
Gorman cavalry dandles had to run
for their live3. In the neighborhood
of Turcoing and Roubaix more than
100,000 civilians have been liberated.

Oct. 11. (Correspondence of the As- (
sociated Press.) Ten American de- V
stroyers took part in a successful sub- f
marine hunt on August 9. They were I
heading south in column when tho J
leading destroyer sighted a periscope r
to her port bow and gave chase. The t
submarine submerged but the destroy-
er steamed ahead of her and dropped
two depth bombs in her path and then)
let go fourteen charges in a circle. 1 1
Suddenly the bow of the submarine I
emerged and became the target for the
shells of the destroyer. As the submo- f
rine again submerged, apparently
helpless, tho destroyer passed directly
over her and dropped two charges on
i her at a depth of twenty feet. Nothing
further was seen of the German and
is believed the craft was destroyed.

Another encounter followed a sub-
marine aiiacK on a Dig American re- ;
pair ship entering port here. The sub
marine's torpedo, fired at close range,
just missed the rudder of the Ameri
can vessel. An American destroyer
dashed to the attack and dorpped a
barrage of depth charges A streak of
oil came to the surface, indicating the
submarine was following a zig zas
course. Another destroyer and several
submarine chasers joined in the hunt
dropping depth charges on oil patches
along the route. It is believed the sub
marine was damaged and that several
days later It was destroyed by a depth
charge.
Unusual activity wa3 displayed by
tho submarines in the Bay of Biscay
for two flays on August 5 "and 6. One
American destroyer reported that she
had destroyed or damaged a largo
enemy submarine on the 15th. But the
same three American freighters were
attacked and two of them, tho Mon
tanan and the Subore, wero sunk.

Feeble Counter Attacks.
WITH THE AMERICAN' ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Friday,'
Oct 18. (By tho Associated Press.)
Feeble counter-attacks were made by
tho Germans this morning east of the
Meuse river but they were easily re
pulsed. There were lively artillery
duels during the morning but little in
fantry fighting.
The Germans continue to rely chief
ly on machine guns to check tho Am
ericans. American patrols have been
active in the center and on the left
wing where they have established out-,
post lines north of Cote de Chatillon.
They have partially cleaned out Loges
wood and penetrated further into
Banthcvllle wood. Because of the wet
weather the enemy has been using
many gas shells recently. The Ameri
can guns opened quite a heavy bom
bardment at 7 o'clock this morning.
Many Infernal Machines Found.
In captured dugouts in the territory
recently taken by the Amorlcans in
fernal machines have been discovered.
These were operated by mercury ther
mometers, the bombs exploding when
a certain temperature is reached.
During tho advance yesterday the
American troops captured 20,000 gal
lons of German gasoline.

EPIDEMIC CUTS
DOICIOUTPOT
Pronounced reduction in the output
of coal during the week of October
12, as a result of the rapid spread of
Spanish inlluenza, was reported to the
United States Fuel administration by
production managers in various sec
tions of the country, notably in Mary
land, Virginia, West AMrgina. Tenne
see, Kentucky, Central Pennsylvania,
and Alabama.
The mst serious report canio from
the Cumberland -Piedmont district,
where, because of the prevalence of
tho inlluenza together with scarcity of
physicians and nurses, many of the
smaller coal mines are coaiDlelelv ldle
while the larger ones are practically
only half manned. The report from this
district estimated that the output of
coal from the district probably will be!
cut to 50 per cent of its former weekly i
rate. The report declares that "the'
rapidity of the progress of the disease
and fatal results hnve the population
awestruck.
Norton, Va., reported that many
mines in that district have been com
pelled to cut operations to half time.
Birmingham, Ala., sent word that the
epidemic is spreading rapidly causing
a reduction in the output estimated at
15 per cent.
Knoxvillo. Tenn., estimated the cut
in production, due to Influenza, in that
district, at 25 per cent.
Hazard. Ky., placed the production
loss lu that region at from 30- to 40
per cent
From Charleston, W. Va., St was re
ported that the disease is spreading
with serious effect, Some of the mines
