lean lives Gil vessels torpedoed by the
German submarines led to Il crisis in
The relations between this country and
Germany and the Tcutonic powers
which is not yet closed. One result
was the resignation of Secretary of
State Bryan and the appointment of
Robert Lansing to head the state de-
partment. Bryan considered the pres
dents diplomacy too aggressive.
While the German submarine war
fare promised at the outset to serious
~ affect the cause Of the allies, it
proved in the end to be ineffective.
The Warsaw Drives.
Throughout the winter and spring
the submarine operations furnished
the chief elements Of public interest
in the war. However, the situation
on the Russian frontier began - take
on new and striking phases.
The Russian chief, with his center
held to the Vistula west of Warsaw,
sent an army to strike Koenigsberg,
on the Baltic sea. Still another Rus
sian force was operating toward the
westward on the southern border of
East Prussia, aiming to flank the Ger
man position before Warsaw. Making
fierce lunge on the Warsaw front
early in February for a feint, the Ger
man general Won Hindenburg threw a
column into East Prussia. surprising
the Russians. This move compelled
the Russians to abandon their at
tempts in East Prussia, and by the
end Of the month the Germans had
pushed the foe across the Russian
border.
About the same time the Austrian
forces had defeated the Russians so
decisively in the Carpathian mountains
that they had been compelled to aban-
don nearly all of Galicia and Buko-
wilma. German soil was at last viz.
tually free Of enemies.
An attempt to capture Cracow, in
western Galicia, had followed as
part Of the Russian plan to gain foot
hold in Austrian territory. They had
pushed their column westward from
Lemberg in the autumn of 1914 and
left behind them the Austrian citadel
Of Przemysl. This place capitulated
late in March. 1916, and Russians be-
gan a new drive over the Carpathians
to Hungary with the troops which had
been laying siege to Przemysl. But the
Austrfans promptly launched force
eastward from the Cracow base. This
was successful and turned the Russian
line, facing southwark upon the slopes
of the mountains.
Throughout the winter the allies had
announced spring drive, 1.-THE real be-
ginning of the war;" About that time
there was beginning of a new phase
on the eastern front, German and Aus
trian troops having formed junction
in central Galicia during the winter.
For them the spring drive began In
May and did not stop until the Rus

Meanwhile the allies on the western
front essayed an early spring drive
and on March 10 broke through the
German line at Neuve Chapelle,
France, where three days battle en-
sued. Nothing definite was gained by
either side. Again, at the end Of April.
spring operations began in France, this
time the Germans taking the offen-

Vosges mountains. In Belgium they
broke up an offensive by the allies by

Germans.
No vigorous drive was made on this

Germans and Austrians on other fields.
Early In May the Germans and Aus

Cracow base. On the 18th thew were
at the gates of Przemysl and had re-
captured the railway center Of the re-

farmers for ten years for good roads.
At the end of that time the roads will
be good and you could vote to rescind

roads and no road tax for the balance
of your life, and you would reap the
benefits. Good roads mean good

certainty that the convention will discuss the
recall provision for possible inclusion in the
new charter.
The recall should be invoked only under ex-
IRENE proyocation on the part of a city official.
If he is openly malfeasant, he may be Inn
peached. The recall is for use where the i'm
peaching power either cannot OF will not act.
In order to prevent wave of ill-temper from
BUSTING a mayor without due consideration, the
recall election should be possible only on pc
|tition of a large percentage of the registered
voters.
Here is an instance that may serve to show
the dangerous possibilities of recall: If Geor-
gia had to vote on the recall of Governor Sla-
ton few days or few weeks after he COM
|muted the sentence of Leo Frank, it is practi-
cally certain that he would have been recalled.
Yet throughout the United States, with the ex-
ception of part of the South, his act was held
to be not only logical, but nobly courageous.
The recall in this case would have been grossly
unfair
On the other hand, Honolulu might well find
a properly restricted recall provision very sal
utary in keeping lax or fagrantly defiant pub
lie officials upto high pitch of energetic duty.
The arguments pro and con will undoubtedly
be among the most interesting at the coming
charter convention.

THE FALL OF WARSAW.

/ The moral effect Of Germany IS victory at
Warsaw is likely to be considerably greater
than the military effect, particularly if Grand
Duke Nicolaievitch the Russian commander
in-chief, succeeds in his attempt to extricate
his main army and war supplies from the city
and vicinity and take up new defensive posi-
! lions further into Russia S. s ~.
But the Associated Press dispatches which
call the occupation of Warsaw the continuation
| of the greatest sustained offensive movement
of the war are not exaggerated. There is moth
ing else il, the year of conflict to equal in CON
sistent forward progress against desperate re-
sistaIce the drive Of the Teutons from Galicia
lup into Poland and around Warsaw Every
/ foot of the way from Tarnow to the high
Carpathian passes to Warsaw has been
bitterly contested The Russians had not only
to be about-faced from their campaign against
Austria, but to be dislodged from Przemysl and
Lemberg, driven across two rivers which
offered naturally formidable barriers to the
Teutons and then back through country hos
tile in sentiment to the Kaiser and stripped of
supplies by the retreating Slavs. The Aus
TRANS, of course, afforded some aid, particular
" the Austrian cavalry, but at least Is per cent
of the grim work was done by the three Ger.
man armies.
Another great lesson has been given the
world in the necessity for preparedness. The
Germans were wellarmed, well-equipped, we'll
differed The Russians were short of ammuni-
tions and their military system has not built
up potential officers in the ranks as has the
German system. The Teutons give full credit
to the Slav s ability and courage as fighting
man and his extraordinary capacity of absorb
ing punishment, but the Russians were seantily
supplied with competent officers.
The capture of Warsaw is one of the half
dozen big achievements of the war;

Comment made in these columns from time
to time that the 'srecall lis an elective method

voters is strongly borne out in striking ar
ticle by Frederick M. Davenport in the Ont

Mr. Davenport is a New Yorker, an ardent
champion of political reform and practical

nor dreamer A student of government and

field Of American state and city structures and
experiences and write of his conclusions
Discussing the recall, he says.
Il is from the same standpoint that the recall
cept within narrow limits is unsound and even
vicious in principle II Is a blow at calm and deli
berate and dignifed and continuous leadership of
kind which democracy greatly needs AS conditions
are in America most men of real ability and power
shun public Office and public career they would

such to the front under threatening and dead
ening machine system the further threat of popular
misunderstanding and disapproval before they have
time to show what is in them, We shall never get
enicient leadership at all Before begin talk
much OF the recall in the United States we must
make it worth while for men of weight and win
The recall is a two-edged sword. And it may harm
far more than ii helps. Even in city government,

the usual four-year term of the for example,
