By the Associated Press Copenhagen, Aug 27 Revision of the Brest-Lltovsk peace treaty, which shall secure for Germany an alliance with Russia and the "Asiatic bloc attached to Russia," Is advocated by George Bernhard, political writer In the Vossischo Zeltung, of Berlin. Alter declaring that all the German offeis of peace have been rejected by Oreat Britain, the writer says: 'Their acceptance' can be counted upon only If England's position on the political chess board is rendered such that there Is no course for her but that of acceptance. The vital Idea of the new German policy must hence be directed toward the creation of a group of pewers. which will' have a word to Bay concerning English efforts to carrv on the war or at the peace conference, or, a least, In the matter of conducting economic warfare. Xo German longer denies that the Brest-Lltovsk peace treaty Is the chief obstacle to the for mation of such a group."

The man-power bill bringing within the armv draft all men from eighteen I to forty-five v ears old. was passed unanl I mouslv late today bv the Senate, with n modified work-or-flght clause Senator Gore, who cast the only negative vote on the roll call, withdrew It and was excused from voting. All efforts to change the age limits or to direct separate classification of Souths under twenty-ono failed, and the measure now goes to conference be tween the House and Senate with no difference for serious controversy except the work-or-flght provision The "work-or-flght" amendment was aproved by a vote of 40 to 2f(, with an amendment providing that It shall not apply to strikers who return to work and submit their demands to the war labor "board. The test came on a motion by Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, to fltrlke out the clause after the modification, proposed by Senator Cummins, of Iowa, had been adopted, 73 to 0. Organized labor has vigorously op posed the work-or-flght amendment, de nouncing It as a proposal to conscript labor, President Wilson has let it be knowa that the War Department re gards' such legislation as unnecessary because all steps needed to prevent slackers from taking advantage of de ferred classification can be taken under the existing work-or-flght regulations. Efforts to insert such a provision failed In the House, and It Is expected there will be strong opposition to even the modified version adopted by the Sen ate when the measure goes to conference. Senator Fall's arffendment to make men up to sixty years of age subject to draft and providing for their classifica tion for military, Industrial or other service, subject t,o the President's regu lations, was rejected, E4 to 9.

Two fine days for the Biltlsh, sums "up the opinion of Paris on the man- I ner In which the armies of Generals Bine und Rawllnson are taking their revenge for the trick tho Geimans plajed them at the beginning of last v ear by their sudden retreat back to the Hlndenburg line, and especially ! ... fi,c incRou thp eneinv caused them bv his ticmendous drive against Amiens last March. The British, as Paris expresses It, wcic meiely serving their apprentice ship to victory last jear and had to suffer nil tho disappointments nnd dis illusions of a novice. Now, however, as their magnificent work of the last months has shown, tne are imiy ac complished craftsmen. Their second conquest of the blood-stained fields of PIcardy will have no painful sequel except for the bodies. 'We used to say that It took five vears to make a soldier," said a Trench officer, "but the British have shown us that they have created a magnificent nrmy lunnlng into mil lions of men In far less time." Haig's beautifully articulated maneuv er as it is termed here, Is exactlv simi lar to that which freed Montdldler. further south Unqualified praise Is be stowed by the French experts on the British commanders and their general staffs for having conceived, and later carried out, "this fine maneuver." and on the troops "wno, in very ouncuii country, are dominating and beating the enemy, resolved to defend his posi tions foot-by-foot." As the battle develops, the funda mental difference between the German and the Allied methods Is becoming dally clearer. All tlfo great German offen sives aimed at creating huge salients In the Allied lines, aa bases for future of fensives. Foch, on the other hand, by reasoned and progressive extension of the battle-front, has pinned down the enCmy icservo In sector after sector, and deprived them of the liberty of maneu ver, while his own shoes are free to advance on one section of the front after another, steadily strengthened by the constant flow of American reserves No dangerous pocketB or salients are being created which may lead to disas trous flank attacks, such as that which crumpled up the Crown Prince's armies on the Marne, and everywhere the Allies are steadily and surely advancing.
