armies are now on the defensive both
In the East and the West. They have.
at least for the present. given up their
efforts to break through the allied
lines around Ypres in Belgium, where
the British and French have taken
the offensive and. according to the
reports from French headquarters.
have commenced to advance, and In
the East they have fallen back to and
over their own frontiers in East Prus-
sia. and in Poland have crossed the
border. while the Russian cavalry has
penetrated Silesia. to the north OF Ka-
lisz and cut the Gefman railway.
The Russians also are following up
their advantage in Galicia and. 1t is
said, have succeeded In cutting the re-
treating Austrians off from Cracow
and the German army is retreating
through Poland.
At only one point on the two battle
fronts do the Germans claim success.
That IL to the west Of the Argonne re-
gion, where the German Emperors
forces have succeeded In taking from
the French an impoftant height near
vienne-le-C Chateau. sSsc.
Elsewhere tthe French troops have
made progress and 1retaken the posi-
tions which they lost during the
week. This Is notably SO in the Aisne
valley around Soissons. where they
have regained the ground which the
Germans, BY fierce assaults, had taken
from them.
The Belgians, who are holding the
line reaching to the coast. have also
made progress. and It would thus
seem that, the Germans are still walt
ing for additional ,reinforcements BE-
fore renewing their attempt to smash
through to the French seaports.
The presence Of the Russians In
East Prussia and Sileaia, however, al,
though the latter are only cavalry, It
is believed here. will prevent the Ger
mans from sending any more troops
to the west II 1t does not compel them
to withdraw some Of their troops from
the front. ~ ls5. ..4i.i -,

CONFERENCE ARREsTEp.

New York.-C3en Eulalio Gutierrez,
who was elected President Of Mexico
at the recent Aguascalientes Conven-
tion, has been Imprisoned. according
to telegram said to come from Gen.
venustiano Carranza and made pub
lie here Sunday night by the Mexican
bureau Of Information. the same
agency that Saturday night announced
Gutierrez had repudiated the acts OF
the convention electing him.
The telegram accredited to Gen.
Carranza did not say where the new
President had been captured or where
he was believed to be incarcerated.
The reason for the seizure and con-
finement OF Gutierrez, the message,
said. was that he had refused to be
dominated by the demands Of the villa
faction. The telegram follows:
II wish to inform you that Gen. Gu.
tierrez, who repudiated the Aguascali-
entes convention and the Villa
clique. has been captured by General
Villa and Imprisoned. The reason for
the action was. because he failed TO
live up to the dictations and demands
of the villa people.
Il wish further to inform you that l
consider the actions Of the conven-
tion az q farce and for that reason
alone ! am forced not to recognize its
actions.
"The convention, which was domi-
mated by villaistas and reactionaries.
failed to accomplish the task set out
to do.
Instead of working out a set Of
regulations and rules by which Mex
leo might attain its normal conditions
Of peace and prosperity. they appoint
ed another provisional president. hop
ing to be able to dominate him.
When they realized that Gutierrez
would not follow the dictates Of Villa.
they Imprisoned him."

Food Prices.

Martial law has this great advantage In tunes
Of stress-it permits the public fixing OF prices
for food or its pro rata distribution. IN
scrupuous dealers and pancky, acqulSltVe con
sunners are thereby prevented from playing INTO
eoch others hands and cornering the supply, 10
tho imnoverishment or virtual starvation OF the
c,eat majority of their fellow citizens. Countries
in the immediate zone OF. the European connlcl
have established martial law. We in this country
have not their excuse to do the same, but Is that
q valid reason why we should become the victims
of boarding merchants and panicky consumers:
In the last few days food prices in this country
have shown sharp upward tendency, despte
the fact that crop yields are greater than ever
before in our history and there is no merchant
marine available to carry the surplus abroad IL
is safe to conjecture therefore, that dealers are
prone to hoard their supplies, in the hope that
later ships will be found to carry their products
to the starving European market. And it is also
entirely probable that a great many families are
buying foodstuffs in abnormal quantities just now
for fear that later they will cost more. Mr.. H.
c. Wells has found such a consumers panic well
developed in England among those whom he
classes as automobile driving villadom.'
Now. the dealers who conspire to hold their
wares for higher prices can be reached after n
fashion with the machinery Of the law. Already
District Attorney Whitman and United States
Attorney Marshall if they have needed Mrs
Julian Heaths appeals, are, like their prototypes
in other parts Of the country, on the watch for
violations Of the anti-monopoly laws by food pur-
veyOrs. Mayor Mitchell too, has taken cognizance
of the situation and is about TO appoint a com
mittee to study the increase Of food prices. But
the greedy housewife who wants to get ahead Of
her neighbors cannot be reached by any law short
Of martial law. We must rely on public opinion
alone to check her anti-socia activities.
We appeal, therefore, TO all classes of the com
munity to remember that as Mrs. Heath says.
there is food enough for all" Don't play into
the hands of the spectators by rushing TO buy In
the present artificial market. And remember that
every mouthful you put 10y now for future con
sumption means higher price and therefore less
food TO some poorer family. whose immediate
future IS bound TO be precariOus under the best IF
conditions

Tragedy by Telephone.

No other horror Of war undergone by our I'M
fortunate fellow countrynen abroad impresses A.
as much as does the edict that only French may
be spoken over the telephones of Paris. Report
has it that even the Ambassador of the United
States was cut of by the censor when he AT
tempted to use his native tongue.
Every American, even our ambassador, no doubt,
speaks French. At least we never met one who
would own that he could not. But speaking the
tongue with due deliberation and before the en-
couragement of a civil Frenchman is one thing.
Kissing into the temperamental contrapton
known as the French telephone is quite another
We can blame it on the language, which was
never made for telephoning. An American who
makes enough faces and shrugs his shoulders
rapidly can gain all the sensations Of talking
French Also. strangely enough, any man, wom-
an or child Of France can usually understand him.
But the arts OF face and body are lost before the
telephone. Only the dubious vowes and slurred
count No wonder that the American
fails nine times out of ten either TO hear or be
heard His only hope is to mouth his "Allo"
and "numero" as best he can and revert TO Eng
lish as soon as his friend arrives the other end.
course. he is usually cut of anyway, such being
one OF the delights of the Partisan central. But
Il does seem as if be ought TO have his chance.

Welcome End to the New Haven
Dispute.

Stockholders and the community alike will ap
plaud the compromise reached between the New
Haven directors and the Department Of Justice.
Whatever basis Of right there was for the rail-
roads opposition was more than counterbalanced
by the disastrous effect which protracted htiga-
ton would have had upon the fortunes Of the
road. An agreement was demanded by every
consideration Of public obligation and sense.
In general the settlement is practically that
offered by Attorney General McReynolds before
the suit commenced. Criminal action is IN
affected by the compromise. The transfer of the
Boston & Maine stock TO trustees allows year
in which a sale subject to the option of the State
OF Massachusetts can be attempted The way is
thus left open for the modification or repeal Of
the option with the tact approval Of the Depart
ment Of Justice
Thus the New Haven lines pass into se''eO
condition. and the work of rehabilitation so sole''
needed in the interests Of both stockholders anu
shipping and travelling public, can go ior"''u
without hndrance.

The Defeat of Foraker.

5sfhe Ohio Republicans have told Mr.. Foraker N

II he would have been incapable Of making his
campaicn for return to the Senate along the lines
which brought him into i'll repute while member.
There is no place for the Forakers and the

They are back numbers in ideas, back num-

six times the size Of the German navy,
have to record as their only mighty &C
complishment something which any
fishing boat is able to do-namely, the

HE RECALLS ZABERN AFFAIR
And Asks if We Are to Regard Ger
man Army as Agent of Civilization.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: There has been much said
lately by German correspondents VINO
allege that the present European war
is between the forces Of culture and
civilization and those OF so-called
DEGRADED Slav nation. Can some OF
these correspondents enlighten Amer
cans as TO the mental processes by
which they assume that the German
army is an exponent of civilization and
culture?
The Germany that has gone into this
frightful war without any visible de-
sire to restrain itself is not the lit
erary. artistic or scientific Germany
that Justly deserves great admiration,
but land completely in the hands Of
ruthless military coterie. Even IN
times of peace can II be claimed tnaI
the well known arrogance in German
military circles and the contempt Tor
civilians should inspire Americans with
any love for the German army As a
fighting machine we can consider II a
marvellous affair. but IN what way does
il represent or help civilization, cult
ure or Christianity?
The disgraceful Zabern affair showed
that civil law and justice were moth
ing in the eyes Of Germany's rulers,
the army. Did that exhibition of ar.
rogance and brutality indicate culture,
civilization or even the most elemen-
tary feeling Of decency toward fellow
human beings2 Will some German tell
me if am mistaken in taking this ep:-
sode as the keynote TO the character
of German army officials?
Is this the type of brute in human
form that We should admire and for
whom we are to wish every success
Why 1hould our sympathies be against
England, for example, whose govern
ment is UNFOLDING treaty obligations
which by official admission have been
ruthlessly dlsregaFded by Germany
"Perfidious Albion" is it? Has there
been no peridy in Germany?

Humanity Disgraced by European
Spectacle, He Thinks.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We have been reading and
hearing a great deal about the dis
graceful situation throughout Europe.
where human beings are numbering
each other, and for what?
In their haste to get at each other
the vilest passions rule and the great
est murderer is the greatest man.
All that men for centuries have
worked and striven for is forgotten.
and Of all they have created. as much
as possible will be destroyed. AL that
men have learned in hundreds Of years
has been destroyed. Christianity Is
discredited, humanity disgraeed and
civilization becomes a CHASTITY JOKE.
Men marked out for useful work
will 20 TO the grave, where thousands
will lie, each representing blasted hope

stroyed.
And all because few have the power
70 dictate to many and ineite them %
numbering each other.
IL is a shame 20 the country, and may
il put an end 10 autocracy, monarchy
dictatorship and anything else that
represents the power OF one TO com
mand the murder Of many.
The President Of the United States
