 We can conceive of no ground for successful attao' upon the advantages or city parks and Bsbee nque' touaby needs one But is Bisbee in financial position to supply these advantages? It has been established be yond dispute that tangible benefits invariably resu' from the presence of a park within municipality Thes benefits reaped in greater proportion by the distr immediately contiguous the park but in the
 city of the Bsbee the general advantages houl be relatively apprecabe A/parl is than beau, spot It provides powerful influence whcrit exercise in behalf of the public health and the wholesome nor uplft of a community
 But the matter as concerns Bisbee must be weighe in the scales Of expedency It may be that the cit treasury is in condition provide for the required di' tursements If this be true the project should roceiv the unqualified endorsement of the entire communt IT, the other hand the promotion of the park demand an outlay that does square with the cty's balan- sheet the valid objections should recorded and th plan held in abeyance until such time it proper be adopted. 5tsGf

GERMAN CONSUL DISCREDlTS
DISMISSAL OF Won MOLTKE
Won Voights-Rhetz Merely Substitute
for Chief at Front.

Dr. Arthur Mudra, the German Consul
III Philadelphia, said this afternoon that
he did not put much credence in the
reports that the Kaiser had dismissed
General Won Moltke, chief of the Cen
ernl Staff of the German army
ut seems hardly credible" said the
Consul that the Kaiser would remove
the chief of his military staff at this
great crisis At the present time the
best minds in military tactics are needed,
and think that too great value Is placed
on the opinions of Won Moltke to war
rant his removal merely on account of n
difference of opinion as to the best
methods to pursue.
The reports are untrue, / think" he
continued. There has probably been
some mistake on the part of those who
were not well informed of the change
brought about in the General STAFF by
the breaking out of war. When hostili-
ties commenced Field Marshal Won
Moltke was Immediately sent to the
front. His place in the General Staff
was temporarily filled by his first as
sistant, the senior officer. Major Cen
eral Won Noights-Rhetz, who still holds
the office in the absence of Won Moltke.
Won Noights-Rhetz has issued many dec
larations under his own signature and
given numerous orders, some of which
nave been received by me here in Philo
delphia. This has been going on since
the beginning of the war. In all proh-
ability some one has seen Won Voigbts-
Rhet%s signature to these and has con-
Guided that Won Moltke had been dis
missed. thus setting the report in cir
culation."

Admission that the Germans again
have resumed the offensive on the east
and west wings Of the battle line in
France is causing apprehension here
that the Government may be holding
back important news This continues
in the face OF statements by headquar-
ters that wha ever ground was yielded
will be regsined when reinforcemeuts
now being moved reach their new posi-
tions.
The explanation given the critics
for the great activity Of the Germans is
that they have discovered they cannot
keep the spirits OF their men up by a
defensive campaign. 50 they are stalk
4ng everything on a series Of blows at
the points of the battle line that their
military aviators have decided are the
weakest

Withdrawals from certain points on the
Allies left TO move the troops into the
territory just south Of the Beliagn from
tier. These Withdrawals naturally must
have been reported TO Won Kluk and
Won Boehn. who have taken advantage
OF them.

Meanwhile, military circles are dis

official confirmation Of the report sent
by the Amsterdam correspondent OF
the Standard that Field Marshal Won
Moltke has been superseded as Chief
Of STAFF b. the comparatively unknown
Major General Yoights-Rhetz. II Is
generally accepted here as true.
Won Moltke never has been a striking
success even at maneuvers. and it has
been reported several times that his
strong beliefs in Christian Science have
been criticised severely by his fellow
stan members. But the chief COM
plant. it is believed here, was that he
refused to sanction certain spectacular
campaign pl~ns on which the Kaiser
had set his heart
