Those arc large statements, but the business men are sincere when they make them and such pride and effort is what is building Baxter Springs.

ii. 1 inj; -n It the first time in the world war there is prospect of a Winter of conflict and not a stalemate on the western front. While bad weather is expected to halt practically all operations in low-lying areas, there are other sectors along th battle fronts where offensive moves, mad possible by liberal use of tanks, can and most probably will be conducted. The next two months is expected to witness as heavy fighting as has taken place since Foch seized the initiative in July. The immediate plan before the Allies is to get the Germans into a position from which they cannot retreat, but must stand up.

and take flank blows from the French and British and American armies. Such blows will be intended to keep the German army demoralized and to prevent it from settling down to a comparatively safe war defense, behind rivers and in trenches, which is the German general staff's present plan. Between Flanders and the Vosges there is plenty of terrian which will be adaptable to attack by the Allies this Winter. And sucli attacks will possess certain advantages, for the Germans will not be able to utilize bushes and small clumps of trees for hiding machine-gun outposts, the chief weapon used by the enemy in hampering an attack. It also is quite likely that the Germans will have insufficient war clothing for hardships of Winter fighting, and it is very certain they Stories of German atrocities and Nor does the ruthless Hun, So at his hordes we yet must go, Till with them we have done.

Heretofore war operations have practically gone into Winter quarters early in December, not to omerge again until mid-March. While fighting this Winter cannot be looked for every day on a big scale, the season of a Winter stalemate is not looked for. If the Germans can cooped up and harassed in a narrow strip of land bordering their own frontier where half of the enemy strength is now concentrated Winter operations on other sectors of the battlefront can be looked for which will not make good reading in Germany.
