PARIS, July, 1.-THE Germans are
planning mighty stroke In Alsace
according to reliable reports that
reached the war office today. The
withdrawal of rolling stock from the
German railways leading into Swift
zerIand is preliminary to new Ger
man offensive. The teutons will at
tempt to sweep the French back out
Of AIsace upon their own frontier.
Small bodies Of German reinforce
ments already have arrived In the
valley Of the Fecht. Presumably they
came from other sectors OF the France
Flanders battle line, but the war office
has reason to believe that German
troops from the Galician battle fields
will be in action in the Vosges with
In short time.
The German war program accord
ina to reports brought here today now
calls for these steps:
First-compIetlon Of the drive to
sweep the Russians entirely out OF
GaIlcia.
Decentralization Of the Russian
army In eastern ind southeastern Gal
Icia from the Russian forces In Pc.
land. and a probable new offensive
against Warsaw.
Third-An offensive to free German
soil completely Of the enemy by driv.
ina the French out of Alsace.
Fourth-Peace overtures.
Advices from several sources agree
that Germany 10 firing Of the war and
has determined to bring it to an end
IL possible within few months while
she is In the most advantageous po.
sitlon since the battle Of the Marine.
Experience has taught the German
staff that they dan scarcely hope to
batter their way through the strong
AngIo-Freneh defensive lines in north
ern France even at tremendous cost
In human lives. On the other hand
Germany believes that she can clear
Galieia Of the Russians within .ort
nioht, huri the french out Of Atsace
and then suggest peace with her enc
mics everywhere beyond her from
tiers. .e
French, rntiitnry- men, however de
eIared today that the Germans havs
made their greatest mis-caIcuiatfon Is
their plans for sudden, rushing vic
tory In Alsace. The mistakes Of the
first French invasion Of the "lost'
province when the French, at the be-
ginning Of the war, entered Alsace
and were quickly driven out will not
be repeated.
Since the last French offensive cap
tured MetzareI and drove the Ger.
mans out Of important positions De.
fore coimar, the French have sdug
themselves in /" behind fortified works
even stronger than those north Of Ar.
ras. Consequently the word that Al.
SAGE is to be the new battle ground
for the German armies from Gaiicia
has aroused no fears here.

 New rules have recently gone into effect on the trolley lines which arc causing tho conductors and motornen much extra work and tho pasrcngcr5 much curiosity. The rules are tho .'e- suit of safety first" plans oD the part Of the company and the utilities cofn- missions.
 One rule is that at every switch tho conductor and motorElan both hay Q to leave the car and the former must order the latter to turn the switch or signal light. Thus both the conductor and moto-man arc to be held respon- sible in case of any accident resulting from running past a switch. Also if ono car on a doubie track road passes the switch first it must be brought to a stop when the car in the other ii rection comes along The conductor must then tell the o'her conductor that his ia the last car to pa8s the switch and the rlotorn'an tclls the other notoginsn tho same t.lint

can friends. Whenever one Of the
many associations dealing with eco
nomic, social, or cultural interests holds
a meeting. it is depressing TO see how
few German names we find in the list
Of participants, and still more, how
rarely an American Of German blood
and culture has a prominent part in the
proceedings. Yet there is hardly a bet
ter way to make ii influence felt than
in the activities of these semi-public
bodies.
In these columns we have heretofore
exhorted German-4Americans to greater
efforts in political and educational af-
fairs. Not a bit less important is it
for them TO assume the place to which
their economic, social and intellectual
standing entities them in civic bodies
Of every description. from the Civic
Federation to the local chambers OF
commerce. If you want to exert any
influence, work from the inside
