THE DELUCE

From the Caucasus to the User
canal there is evidence of a gigantic
and carefully laid plan to fall upon
Germany and her allies from all
| quarters simultaneously and in over
whelming strength. These signs are
too closely related to be just a group
of singular condolences. 1t is as if
Russia, France, and England knew
the hour when Italy would strike and
were mastering all their strength to
strike their hardest at exactly the
| same time.
Take first the attack on the Dar-
danelles. This was conceived and
has SO far been carried out without
the aid of land forces. What has
been the effect of it? The back of
the bungling attack on the Suez
canal was broken, releasing the
English troops in Egypt. More i'm
portant, Turkeys S campaign in the
Caucasus swiftly ebbed out as her
troops were rushed back into Ana
tolia. This releases needed Russian
army corps for spring operations in
Poland
Rumania is still busily borrowing
money and buying war supplies.
The most powerful party in Greece
is eager for war. England's new
and enormous army is pouring into
the plains of Flanders. France has
strengthened and polished her field
army to the last unit.
And, above all, Italy is taking off
her coat and rolling up her sleeves
for the final tussle with Austria to
the stirring battle cry of italia
Observation-Disclosures Italy"
Huge as Germany's army is it
must stretch itself to the danger
point to meet all these moves when
they are made in unison. Austria
must watch Rumania more closely
than ever. Germany must divert
valuable troops to mount guard at
the tops of the Alpine passes up
which the armies Of Italy may
swarm at days notice.
Already Germany's strategic rail-
roads have been strained rushing
first line troops back and forth
across the empire to ward off first
Russian and then an Anglo French
thrust at weak joint in her battle
armor. Demoralized by repeated de.
feats, Austria has proved that she
cannot stand against the Slavs with
out Bavarians or Prussians to stiffen
her fighting front. And Russia and
the western warfare will keep these
busy.
How many first line corps can
Germany spare when England's new
million and the freshened forces of
France come down across the Cham
pagne and Russia makes another
desperate drive at Cracow and the
broad highways of Silesia? How
many men can she spare if Italy
girds on her sword and Rumania's
army of 100000 swoops down into
Pennsylvania?
Wheeling and striking, untiring
and desperate, Germany has with
stood magniicently a succession of
mighty blows. Can she face The
! Deluge?

CONCERN
. IS CALLED TRUST
Red Cedar Association Is
Arraigned by Attorneys in
Suit Started by Receiver

MONTESANO, March 22.-The Red
Cedar Shingle Manufacturing asso.
citation, now in the hands of q re-
ceiver, was a trust created for the
restraint of trade, according to the
remarks of some Of the attorneys ar
guing demurrers in cases brought by
the receiver against the Coats Shin
gle company and the Markham Shin
gle company, to collect forfeiture mon-
ey named in an agreement the asso-
citation had with, it is alleged, near
ly all the shingle mills of the state.
This association was an organiza-
ton made about two years ago Of
shingle manufacturers. The associa.
tion agreed to buy all shingles at an
agreed market price, but at the same
price it was understood the manufac-
turers could sell to outsiders.
The profit of the association was to
be one cent q thousand. There was
a forfeiture clause holding the man
ufacturers for $3.50. and as understood,
it is on this clause the receiver for
the association is suing. However,
in at least one of the suits there is
also claim for balance due on
stock in the association. No decision
has been given yet on the demurrer

seems to obtain over this apparently
simple piece of business. While a

edly are desirous Of having the work
performed at the least cost to the
municipality compatible with safety
for the bridge. they seem to be un-
