London, March 12-The sweeping adj
vance of British and Indian troops
around Nenve Chappelle. in the direc-
tion of strong German positions at La
Bassee, is regarded by some British
newspapers as the commencement OF
activities on the western wing of the
allied front, to be followed by the, gen.
eral advance in the spring.
1t is believed the Germans will
promptly seek to retaliate. To do this
they will be compelled to keep their
western armies intact. This is just
what the allies profess to desire. Their
stroke is timed to aid the Russians. for
il the allies had not kept the Germans
busy along the western front 1t Is be-
lieved the German commanders would
again have shifted to the eastern line
to reinforce Won Hindenburg, whose
army is now fighting desperately along
the Vistula and Nieman rivers.
Another Fiankins Movement.
These eastern battles. it is thought,
have not reached their maximum fer
ocity, but Won Hindenburg is said to
be attempting another thanking move
mint against Przasnysz with the plan
to advance along the Niemen. The bat
tie line which is the crux OF these op-
erations extends roughly for dis
tance Of eighty miles between the
river Orzyd and the river vistula.

Washington, March 12.-Confidential
reports on the condition of the German

seem to make it certain that the raider

President Wilson was told today it
was expected the German commander
would not return to sea again. Mr.
Peters, of the treasury department,
told the president that his reports from
Newport News, showed the Eitel to
be in bad condition, and utterly unfit
to put to sea. Later Mr.. Peters talked
with Captain Kiehne, of the William

telephone, and directed him to get
sworn statements from as many Of the
crew of the Frye as possible.
Captain Kiehne is expected in Wash

widen out into large, roomy areas

been quite a number Of business hen
there, first and last, but we have
never heard of one who got in the
front rank or near the front rank
either in the committee room or on
the floor OF the Senate in debate.
A senator is supposed to be a
statesman, student of the large
affairs of State and subjects of ma
ton wide legislation And he must
be something more than a student
along these lines; he must be able
to tell what he knows and tell it eff
fectively in the face of opposition
and to hold his own in the fierce
give and take of hot debate. III any
member of the United States Senate
has ever met these requirements
without the training necessary for
efficiency of that kind we have new
er heard of him or read of him, and
we should be glad to be informed If
there has been such a senator.
Certainly business training, no
matter how thorough, doesn't lead
to that result; rather does it lead
in the opposite direction, for the
successful business man is, above
all. a man of action. especially along
executive lines. while the successful
senator has no executive work to dc
and his highest efficiency is in the
field Of debate and constructive leg
islation where purely business
man would feel mighty lonely.
Craftsmanship requires specia
training in a broad field to which
business is only incidentally allied
and the man who goes to the Senate
I with only business experience
will have scant and inadequate
equipment for his work. The com
paratively few business men whit
have sat in the Senate have beef
comparative failures, good pegs il
the wrong holes, and almost in tn
very nature of things it must al

DISTILLERS ALARMED

Distillers in Kentucky, the sta'e
that is famous for its production y
6na whiskey. are genuinely alarmeu
over the prospect of the state votihs
prohibition and stopping the manu-
facture as well as the sale OF liquor
A campaign is now being waged IN
that state that promises to nave
far reaching effect. H. V. McChes-
new is a candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for governor on pia'
form of statewide prohibition. his
candidacy was regarded as JOKE
when he announced, but the whiskes
interests are now perturbed over MS
prospects of success. At recent
meeting of distillers the foliowins
resolutions were adopted
First-That while we believe III
rigid laws regulating the retail safe
of liquors as being more practicapie
and more conducive to temperance
than prohibition, we will support the
county unit law as it is now written
nm our statute book, thus leaving
each county to determine for ltseil
a policy best suited to its needs, aho
to enact such laws as local pupiic
sentiment will enforce.
Second, that we protest against the
very common practice OF charging
the liquor interests with desire OF
purpose to control politics as who'll!
unjust or untrue. In common Win
| all business interests, the people en-
gagged directly or indirectly In the
manufacture and sale of liquor ae-
sert the right to be heard before any
law-making bodies and to defend our
trade by honorable and lawful meth
| DDS. and we denounce all interior
ence with politics beyond the exer-
else of our just rights.
| Third-That we most earnestly
appeal to the voters of Kentucky not
to make nominations of candidates
for state officers whose election
would make statewide prohibition
an issue in our state as part OF Z
political program.
Fourth-That we believe, as cltl-
zens, with the voters who retain con-
troll of the liquor questions, as OF all
other matters of current interest
that it would be unwise to attempt
to further load down our constitl,
ton with legislative enactments or
this subject.
Fifth-That we ask just and inn
partial consideration of these reso
lutions BY the citizens of our state
and the assistance of all fair-mindet
people in the protection of our prop
erty and in the enjoyment of oul
just rights under existing laws.
| If Kentucky votes out liquor the
stronghold of the whiskey forces viii
have fallen and it will be an cas-!
step toward national prohibition

trenched in Kentucky and to VIII

NAMING WILSON FOR
A SECOND TERM

1t is pretty early in the political
game for next year to be naming
candidates for president, as no one
can tell what will happen these par
lous times during the next several
months; but we do not object to the
Democrats of Chicago being the first
to indorse President Wilson openly
and recommend his denomination
next year.
The uppermost questions at the
present time relate to matters grow
ing out of the European war, and in
regad to them thee is a charitable
unanimity of sentiment, regardless
of party upholding President Wilson.
When it comes to questions outside
of our national boundry lines we
are all Americans, and the parts
an is silent.
But there is going to be a fight
for the presidency next year. For
tunately President Wilson is strong
er than his party. For this reason
there is no candidate to contest the
nomination against him. And, as
things look today, there are men
who will vote for him who do not
like his party.
This is greatly to his credit, and is
an element of strength in his be-
half. 1t is neutrality-suspicious.

Some weeks ago Mr.. Lloyd-George,

,ioned the number of British dlvls-

from what he said the inference was
drawn that thetotal British force

however, the Marquis of Lansdowne'
now a member of the cabinet. SAID
that "unless he was mistaken at
least 100000 British troops were IN
France. In addition to these, 1t is
figured out that close to 100000
British troops have been sent to the
Dardanelles.
The levies from the British COL
onies are given, authoritatively we
suppose, in the Daily Colonist, a

In addition to these levies, be-
