WAR OVER
BY JUNE
This Is the Prediction of
a High British
Officer
THE TIME FOR
GENERAL OFFENSIVE
Is Nearly Here and Ger
mans Cannot Resist
1t, He Asserts

London, Nov. 30.--That the war will
be over in June or before was the state
ment made Saturday by an officer of
high command in Gen. French's army.
He is back from the front on few days
leave, but cannot be designated with any
greater precision.
"The war win be over before Ascot, :"
was the way be put it, and the Ascot
race meet comes in the middle of June
when there is one.
His statement was made in all serious
ness and was justified, in his mind, by
what he described as the facts of the
situation.
These, in brief. he says, are that the
German efforts in the western theatre of
war are practically exhausted; that pres
sure on the eastern frontier will shortly
become severe; that the psychological
moment for the general offensive for
which Gen. Joffre is waiting is rapidly
approaching, and that when it does ar
rive the combined movements of the al
lies east and west will prove irresistible.
EARLY in the summer" said the Off
Ger, Germany will be ready to make
peace on the best terms she can obtain"
This prediction is regarded rs purely
military one and leaves out of con
sideration the question OF what terms
Germany win be able to obtain or will
ing to accept Though the talk of the
necessity of crushing Germany is rudely
INDUCED in now, there can be little doubt
that six months more Of the war will
have rendered the worlds desire for
peace a potent factor in considering its
terms
The gospel Of hatred of Germany
which is being preached by some does
not really seem to be attaining more
than a superficial success. Throughout |
the country the more responsible papers |
show no evidence that the determination /
to see the war through to successful |
issue is degenerating into blind fury only |
to be assuaged by the destruction of !
Germany.
Ii is clear that there is no party in |
Great Britain which does not intend 10 |
prosecute the war without relentiug I'M
iii an enduring peace is established and |
Prussian militarism as menace is ex-
tirpated but there is ample evidence
hat with these objects attained British
ceiling will be satisfied
The archbishop OF York has been tax
m to task by a section of the lingo
,ress for condemning "the gross and vul.
,ar way in which the German emperor
'as been treated in newspapers and par
icularly in some comic papers" but his
tatement that I'VE can still speak with
dmiration and charity about the great {
man people" has been echoed in many
esponsible quarters.

PRESERVED

from Mexico

troll Oil Fields

Washington, Nov. 30-Except for
few isolated cases of robbery and vic
lenee, which resulted in severe punish
ment to the offenders as soon as de
tected, the Zapata forces have maintain
ed good order in Mexico City, according
to advices from the Brazilian ministe
to the state department at Washington
Saturday.
As no mention was made by the min
lister of any injury to Spanish subjects
officials at Washington do not credit Tho
rumors that several Spaniards were
killed, though kilograms of inquiry have
been dispatched to Mexico City for def
mite information.
The Brazilian minister declared in his
dispatches that the people of Mexico
City were rapidly regaining confidence
and the situation in the city was being
well handled The Zapata military com
mander has issued a decree levying a
tax OF one-half the regular property tax,
which he says is needed to pay troops
and the expenses of police and govern
ment, because the Carranza administra-
ton left the treasury empty. The Ia
pata commander, in his proclamation,
explained that the method of raising
money by taxation was preferred to the
indiscriminate confiscations and levies
which Carranza officials had practiced
Nothing was known by the Brazilian
minister at the time he filed his dis
patches, late Friday as to the time when
Gen. Villa or his forces would arrive
Previously, he telegraphed that agents
of Villa and representatives of the con-
vention We're working in perfect har-
money with the Zapata officials.
The situation in other parts OF Mex
leo Is described in official reports as
quiet, with the exception of Tampico.
where the approach of Villa forces from
san Luis Potosi has terrorized some
people. Reports are current that Gen
Luis Caballero, military governor of the
state of Tamaulipas, who commands the
at Tampico, is now aligned
with the convention forces, and if this
peaceful entry of the Viii
IA troops. is not unlikely.
Wireless reports from Tampico re-
seived Saturday said that the situation
outside of the city in the oil fields was
disturbed, as bandits belonging to no
action of the Mexican controversy have
apparently secured control of Panuco.
While they have looted many Mexican
torres, they have not injured Americans
n other interests, so far as reported |

About four years ago while holding a

HALF FARE RATES
FOR IOWA GUARDS
Soldiers to state Camp Must be Car
ried on Split Ticket. Ruling
Reads.

Iowa railroads will be required to
give the state half rates for the carry
ing Of militia men to Camp Dodge in
August, according to ruling receiV-
ed yesterday by Adj. Gen. e. Logan
from the war department. says the
Register and Leader.
Although the United States court 81
appeals has ruled that the militia is
not a part of the United States army
and that land grant roads need not
give the guard half fare rates. unless
the regiments are actually on their
way to war, the controller of the treas.
ury at Washington has declared tina t
the courts ruling will not be accept
ed. He has notified the militia depart
ments that the old order stands and
the case will go to the supreme court.
This means that the roads must give
the state militia the concessions ask
ed.
The Iowa roads have bitterly fought
the half fare rate for soldiers for
many years and will fight again this
year it is said.

the sister was tried and the defend
ant found guilty. The other two
counts are the one charging the
murder Of the father and Of Emma
Kaempen.
The state argued and the court
agreed that change Of venue could
not come before Judge Akers If there
was any objection on the part OF the
state. The state has no objection to
Judge Akers passing on the case ex'
cept that they do not want the change
Of venue on these cases to come UP
at this time and inasmuch as the term
of court Is not criminal one and as
Judge Akers could not pass on the
change Of venue at the previous trial
no change Of venue could be passed
on now without agreemIt.
On the motions filed this morning
Judge Akers ruled that he would
have Judge Higbee Of Pittsfield come
up to pass on the motions before the
trial which will come this fall in Ma
comb.
