GREATER TRADE
PARIS, Nov. 6.—Six weeks of in
quiry by the American Industrial
Commission in France to investigate
economic conditions has disclosed an
agreeable disposition especially to
ward an increase of French trade
with the United States. “The great
est obstacle Americans will encount
er,” said William Wallace Nichols,
chairman of the cimmission, "is in
themselves, their own lack of knowl
edge about France and their hesita
tion in availing themselves of oppor
tunities here. The investigation has
been most instructive for us. Several
things are clar:
“First, the economic health and
soundness of France.
“Second, a great and permanent
expansion of commerce between the
United Estates and France must rest
upon reciprocity—a certain equilib
rium between exports and imports.
“Third, we will need a revision of
our commercial agreements with
favored nation treaties on both sides.
“Lastly, I should perhaps have put
this first—each people needs to culti
vate the appreciation, respect, and
friendship, with a precise understand
ing of the other.”
The commission is arranging to sail
for home on the steamer Rocham
beau, scheduled to leave Bordeaux to
morrow.

ALLIES’ WEDGES
NOT DISLODGING
GERMAN FORCES
PROVIDENCE, R. L, Nov. 9.—The
Prdvidence Journal publishes a mes
sage, which was refused cable trans
mission in London, but which has
reached Providence by mail through
Montreal. It says:
“A careful estimate of the probable
duration of the war from sources
which include the best brains of
the military organizations of France,
Great Britain and Russia, and which
also reflects the personal belief of
General Joffre, is that there can be
no possible cessation of hostilities
during the next two years.
While conditions on the western
front are more than satisfactory to
the allies, they do not believe that
they can force the German lines back
over the conquered territory. The re
markable growth of aircraft observa
tions among thme allied forces has
put them in possession of every fact
concerning the condition and strength
of the Gernian defences. These de
fences, of a massive character, spread
back from the present lines over eight
miles, encompassing a network of par
allel trenches, of which there must be
fully 00 between the front line of the
Germans and the rear fortifications.
“The losses of the British in the re
cent victories, which have put them in
possession of about five miles of the
enemy’s trenches, have been very
great. The conclusion has been reach
ed that it is not worth while to sacri
fice men in this fashion again.
“The plan of campaign as outlined
by General Joffre will be adhered to.
It is to hold the present lines along
the entire front and by the pounding
operations toward points like Thiep
val and Dounamont to drive triangu
lar wedges into the front lines wher
ever possible. The allied general’s
realize that every additional mile of
ground to be defended by the Germans
impose a much greater strain on the
enemy, and compels the constant pres
ence of great numbers of troops which
the Germans would otherwise utilize
along the Balkan borders.
The immense quantities of ammuni
tion of the allies have been added-to
to such an extent that before the new
year the necessity for securing com
pleted munitions from the United
States will be over. The allies, how
ever, will continue to need short cop
per and empty brass cases from the
United States and other countries.
In the meantime every possible
weakness in the German lines is be
ing utilized in wedge driving actions
in order to compliment and break up
straight lines wherever possible. The
plan is to substitute the rig-zag and
irregular line wherever it runs
straight across. It is the belief of
the Allies that by this method they
will be able, while maintaining prac
tically the same front as at present, to
increase the area of line to be held by
some 30 to 50 miles.”
POSSIBLY FI
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—Roy W.
Howard, president of the United
Press, returned today from an extend
ed European trip said- ,
“Neither in England, France or
Germany is there the slightest evi
dence yet of an approaching end of
the war. In no country is there any
indication that the struggle can be
terminated within the next two years.
“There are innumerable indications
that the end is much further off.
Lord Northcliffe, who more often,
probably than any one man has cor
rectly forecasted the war’s develop'
ments, is now urging the British to
make no calculations based upon peace
within five years.”
