British Headquarters ie France,
Cable, via. London Cable,—The
retreat of the Germans in the Ancre
end Somme region continues to give
the zest of movement to the war in
the west, and a trip nowadays along
tbe ever -extending aew 13ritiste lines re-
veals a picture, the like of which has
hot been seene on this front for More
then two years. Sabstantial progress •
was made by the Allies in the betties
of the Somme last suramer and aut-
umn, but after the initial forward
sweep the fighting became so bitter
and the resistance so dogged that the
advance could be counted almost by
feet, if not at titnes by lathes. Recent-
ly the onward movement has been
reckoned in miles, and it is strange
to see field fortresses, that last year
cost thousands of German lives to de-
fend, now yield within a few hours
after the British "heavier" have be-
gun to pour out their torrent of high
exploeives.
It is interesting to stand behind a
battery of Brinell howitzers and, watcle

as it travels in a long loop toward its

The forward movement of the Brit-
ish on so wide a front has brought
into play all the machinery of motion
in warfare. Roads seem to spring up
over night in most unexpected places.
Railways have audaciouily flung ttem-
selves forward regardless of mild and
shell holes, and with a completeness
which even includes most pretentious
sign posts bearing the names of French
villages which exist now only ail
geographical remnants. It Is also e
revelation of the intensely Practical
side of modern war to see a six-inch

He openly rebukea the defiling of

been eotablished in that consecrated'
building, His authority was obeyed
and acknowledged though the hearts
of the offenders yielded no reverenee
nor acknowledged any stn. That all
nations were to find in Him a Say

lour and that salvation must be ele-
tabled by individuals, Jesus indicated
in His conversation with the Sam-
aritan woman.. The hardness of the
Jewish nation was frequently con-
trasted with believing faith among
the heathen. That Jesuit cherished and
strengthened 'what He taught to, be

Thursday, denounced the Upper Cham-
ber or the Diet, which, he said:regard-
ed the GoVernMeri‘ •ai the mere caro
taker of their own selfish Interests,
'and where nothing counted but shame-
less profiteering. Declaring that the
reorganization of that body as suggest-
ed by tbe National Liberals was use-
less. lie added:
"We must abolish the Herrenhaus,
which is a millstone around the neck
of any progressive development of
any progressive develomxient a:
Prussia."
Deputy Leinert also upbraided Count
Yorek, who had attacked the Social-
ist leader. Carl Legien, because, the
reports add, after 'the breale between
Germany and the United States, the

eration of Labor that he would briag
the, 'effluence of the German work-
men's unlons to bear upon, the Gov-
ernment..
"Such influence," Herr Leinert is
reported to have said, "the Herren -
haus regard as its own special prerog-
ative. It wants the people to be com-
mandeered into war and out of it and
that things afterwards should remain
as they were. That is impossible.
The people demand peace at the soon-
est possible moment.
"We are no longer serfs whom the
king can buy or sell or order us to
bleed and die at the word at command.
We are a nation that has reached pol-
itical manhood."
Amid intermit:Wet deers, Hen
Leinert hinted at a time coming when
-he whole nation would arise and
sweep "junkerism" off the earth.

saying: "When we attain thie there
will be no Gerinan soldier left alive."
Deputy Hoffman after being thrice
milled to order', was forced to leave
the chamber. Hoffmatin, aecording to
the despatch, declaring• that the mili-
tary deepen= itt Germany was cause
Mg mad and unneeessary shedding of
