? SOD and Secretary Lansing have
ahead of tbem during the next
1 few months many serious and
vitally Important International '
questions whfch they are already
seeking to bring to a conclusion
?p^tltly. ' . ji
The German submarine ques
tlon la still the most acute of all
thoae to be considered. In spite
of what the administration be
lieved to have been agreements
reached with Germany that
would end the harasalng featur
es of. these questions, there are
live critical cases of alleged vio
lation of Germany's promises to
this government. One involves
thS loss of five American lives
and? two 9thers of American
ships.
The German submarine war
fare la constantly presenting
phases that are annoying. The
rules spplylng to warning to
vessels before alnking and the
safety of passengers are deemed
absolutely inadequate how, and
are easily infringed when ex
coses are so fruitful later on.
The fe4r Is beginning to be
felt In administration circles
that Berlin* aim is to skate
,along the edge "ot trouble *lth
the United ttaftea, without
bringing it about, in the mean
time continuing' her submarine
operations ponding her complet
ing of a- great fleet of subma
rines ultimately designed to sur
round and starve Great Britain
Berlin will not easily yield to a
change in policy as to subma
rines *t the present KXars. It Is
grows in strength and imports
a ?ek she will, it is feared, grow 4
-less and less considerate of the
wishes arid demands of the Unit-.,

in relations to accomplish her
purpose of starving England.

(Written for the United Frees by
J. W. T. Mason)
[ NEW YORK. ? Three offensives
are now at the height 0f their pres
sure as the European conflict enters
its third winter. For the first time
the military situation suggests the,
continuation of activities throughout
several months. The Anglo-French
offensive along the Somme and the
Ancre, tho allied advance along the
Greek frontier, and the movement of
the Teutons In Rumania all contain
possibilities of surprises during the
winter.
The principal unknown problem
will be the effectiveness of the artil
lery when concentrated upon the
frozen trenches. 81nce the start of
the conflict there haa been no effort
made to teet the ability of elther.sido
to withstand the tjBftch bombard

winter. Hitherttf tlie trench fighting
has slackened into a draw with the
advent of cold weather.
? At the beginning of winter the al
lies sre better situated along the
western front. The artillery positions
are on high ground for shell-blasting
operation against the frozen line.
Along the Greek frontier the ad-4
vantage Is slso with the allies bs
cause their lines of communication
are shorter. The Teutons hold the
advantage in Rumania because the
Rumanians can obtain ammunition
only from Russia, where the supply
Is Insufficient.
The third winter , of the war will
be the jr^reme teat not only of the
fighting power of the belligerents but
also of the staying power of the non
combatapt population. This season
the British, French, Russians and
Germans are establishing a new sys
tem for conserving food supplies and
Industrial power.
