ENEMIES TO GET NO REST Weekly Review of War Operations .Allies Have Men and Material to Overcome Natural Obstacles.U. 8. * Troops Take Part i nBattle. Washington..Military experts here «io not expect winter to halt the great allied drive against the Germans in Flanders. Secretary Maker's weekly review oC war operations discloses the belief of the wur department that potency of material and men will enable the British and French commanders to triumph over natural obstacles and continue forcing the enemy backward without waiting for spring. The review touches for the lirst lime upon the American expeditionary forces in France, declaring the men, liter three months intensive training, are in efficient fighting trim and splendid physical condition. In dwelling upon the importance of the bottle of Flanders and its effect upon the morale of the Germans, the war secretary declares it upparent that the German high command planned the recent expedition against the Itus- sians in the ltiga sector in order to bolster up morale and meet impending internal difficulties. By extending her linee in the east, he adds. Germany has merely added to the length of her line of communications and increased confidence in the final allied victory. The review covering Lhp urnnk »»nrl. lug October 20. follows: "Our men in Krauce, ufler three months Intensive training are in splendid physical condition and efficient fighting trim. They have readily become acclimatized and now feel at home in the war zone. "Our troops have met with the most warm-hearted and enthusiastic reception on the part of the armies and people of France. "The health of our men overseas is reported as excellent. "The week Just closed has been one of relative quiet on all fronts. Bad Weather Prevails.

Nevertheless, the potency of allied material and men, the accumulation of the technical means of combat, ai.d the preparations which Itavo been going on for many months will make it possible for the Hritish and French commanders to triumph over natural obstacles, and with few short intervals we may expect the offensive to press forward "It is not anticipated that the allies will go into winter* quarters this year. "Tho full importance of the battle in Flanders is beginning to be revealed. In order to appreciate the real significance of this engagement and tho effect it has had on the morale of the German army and the Germun people, we must consider briefly the German attacks in the Ftlga sector, in eluding the capture of Oesel, Dago. and othor minor islands of the Fin nlsh gulf. "While no attempt should be made to belittle the importance of the positions gained by the onemy, we cannot fail to record that it is apparent that the Germans undertook this expedition with a view to l>olstering up the morale of the country, more particularly in order t«» be able to meot the impending in err.al difficulties which threaten to culminate in a re newed cabinet crisis in the near fu ture. Anything for a Victory. "The German higher command lias Invariably picked out a weakened objective, in order to bb able to record a success which shculd be of political rather than military value.

' Immediately seeing their advantage the Germans, according to the latest German official communication began intonsive operations against Moon island, hammering its eastern shore batteries until they were silenced and also attacking the Russian guns on the mainland, putting them out of action. Moon island was captured and the Russians took refuge inside Moon' sound. Thereupon the Germans threw warships to the eastern part of Kassar buy, lying to the north of Moon Island, apparently closing the passage to the south in the Gulf of Riga. Already the Germans have attempted to attack from the north into Moon sound, but the Russian guns have held iiirun um K niirmsiuny.

AIRMEN BURIED UNDER GRAFT Airplane'* Superiority Over Dirigible Is Again Proclaimed by French.No Bombs Were Dropped by Raiders in France. Paris..Although aba first it was bellevced that the visit of the Zeppelin fleet to France was an independent raid and the first step toward carrying out the threat tmade in a German wireless message which said it had been decided to destroy Paris in reprisal for French air raids on German towns, it now is generally believed that these eight Zeppelins, four of which were destroyd or captured, wre returning from nglui.d and had lost their bearings owing to fog and probably had lost touch with.their wireless communications. The log book of the Zeppelin which landed Intact shows that she had been to England and prisoners from three other airships confirm this. One of the men captured said it was the lack of gasoline that forced his Zeppelin to descend. The raid is widely proclaimed by French observers as being definite proof of the superiority of the airplanes over the Zeppelin. The day of Zeppelin for bombardment one expert Haid. is over. The sudden resumption of tho use of the German dirigibles is explained by the theory that the raiding Zeppelins belonged to a new type which lately had been reported to be in the course of construction at Lake Constance. Of the four Zeppelins lost, two were destroyed and two were forced to descend. The two disabled arlships, undo rattack by aviators and anti-air defense posts, descended in the Saone valley and were forced to land in the neighborhood of Sisteron, in BassosAlpes. The crews, after setting Are to the airships, attempted to flee, but were taken prisoners. London..Reuter's correspondent at British headquarters in France telegraphs that the four Zeppelins brought down in France were airships that had taken part in the raid on England. It is believed, adds the correspondent, that the fifth Zeppelin was destroyed at Bourbone les Bains. (This probably refers to the Zeppelin brought down at Rambervillers, near the Alsatian border). "There were 11 Zeppelins In the original group that appeared over French territory. Rooter's correspondent telegraphed later, and they scattered over various parts of the country whn attacked after a general warning was sent out. They dropped no bombs in France.

GERMAN AGENTS MAKING EFFORT TO DEFEAT LOAN Organized Propaganda In All Parts oi the Country. Washington..Pro-German agents In the United States, accordng to reports to the treasury department, have directed their energies toward defeating the Liberty Loan. Their organized propaganda has borne fruit, from Min nesota to Texas, it is asserted, in scat tered localities where weak efforts have been made not openly, but by inI direct methods to discurage subscriptions. Official recognition of the propa ganda against the loan was voiced today by Colonel Herebert M. Lord, representing the war department, at the war risk insurance conference at which the details of the new sailors' and soldiers' insurance law are being explained to offcers and enlisted men from the various cantonments. "Tncre nas been an organized effort," said Colonel Iôrd, who was chairman of the meeting, "to discourage and defeat the loan." This effort he added, has been made by "seeking to misrepresent the patriotism of the new national army." An offlcal account of the proceedings of the conference, which was behind closed doors, issued by the treasury department, reads as follows: "In convincing refutation of the slander, which was to the effect that line men or me new muolnal army opposed the war. Colonel Lord announced that subscriptions from the army for I the loan already aggregate $26 000.000 and that some cf the subscriptions were written In foreign languages. "The announcement caused great !enthusiasm among the delegates from the army and navy, marine corps and ieoast guard (attending the conference* 500 of whom swarmed up to the platform following the address and signed war insurance applications, all of which, except forty, were for the maxllmum of $10,000."

The tragedy of the sea. the first in which an American ship engaged in war duty has been lost, is the first of its magnitude to bring home to the people of the Vnited States the rigors or' the war in which they have engaged against Germany. It carries tho largest casualty list of the war. so far. of American lives, and marks the first success of a German submarine attacks on American transports. That the loss of life was not great er is due to the safeguards with : which the navy has surrounded tin transport service, and the quick rescue work of the convoying warships. Secretary Daniels announced the disaster in a statement based upon a brief dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims which gave few details and did not say whether It was a day or night attack. An accurate list of the missing cannot ho issued until General Pershing reports the names of the army men on the vessel und the list of the merchant crew. Secretary Daniels authorized the following announcement of the Antilles disaster: "The department is in receipt of a . dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims which states that the S. S.

"The torpedo which struck the Antilles was not seen, nor was the sub, marine which fired it. The torpedo hit abreast of the engine room bulkhead, and the ship sank within five minutes. One hundred and sixtyseven persons out of about two hunI dred and thirtyy-seven on board the Antilles were saved About seventy i men are missing.
