commencement Of active operations
ON the left wing Of the allied front
in the western theater of the war, and
as likely to be followed by another
important offensive thrust preliminary
to a general advance in the spring.
1t is believed, moreover, that the
Germans will promptly seek to retail
late. If they do this it will compel
them to keep their western forces
intact, if not to reinforce them to meet
the fresh forces which Great Britain
Is putting into the field. This is just
what the allies profess to desire Their
stroke is timed to aid the Russians,
for If the allies had not kept the
Germans busy along the western front,
1t is believed the German commanders
would again have shifted their forces
to the eastern line to strengthen Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, whose ar
mics are now fighting hard to regain
the ascendancy between the Vistula
and Niemen rivers. .- ...
Not Maximum Intensity.
These battles in northern Poland
are not thought in London to have
reached their maximum intensity, but
Field Marshal Won Hindenberg, with
heavy reinforcements is said to be at
tempting another thanking movement
against Przasnysz with the purpose of
resuming his original plan of ad-
vancing along the Niemen should the
operations against Przasnysz be sue
cessful The battle line which is the
crux of these operations extends
roughly for distance of eighty miles
between the river Orzyc and the river
Vistula
No recent news has been received
in London concerning the operations
of the allied fleets in the Dardanelles.
Delayed dispatches direct from Con-
stantinople say that the damage in
fffcted on the Turkish forts has not
been serious and that life in Con-
stantinople is entirely normal This
contradicts the reports published to-
day that the Turkish capital is in a
state of. panic.
Will BE Fortified Town.
London, March IL, 5:29 a. m.-The
vail OF Smyrna, says a Reuters Athens
despatch, has issued a communicate
stating that If Smyrna is attacked by
an allied fleet the city will be con-
verted into fortified town, and ask
ing the civilian population to leave
for the interior. Foreign residents
of the city have asked, however, for
the establishment of neutral zone
in which they will be safe.
To Bombard BosphOrus.
London, March IL, 500 p. MT
is learned through diplomatic sources
in London that the Russian Black
sea fleet is expected to start
bombardment of the Bosph or
us ports today in active cooperation
with the allied feet which is attempt
ing to force it's way to Constantinople

THE GOVERNOR HAS RIGHT IDEA.

IN ADVOCATING the short ballot Governor Boyle says that it would
not only insure greater efficiency but would result in a saving of over
one hundred thousand dollars a year to the state. Men would be appoint
ed to onics solely on account of their fitness, responsibility would be
trah2ed, and with the governor subject to the recall he would be obliged
to eliminate abuses now existing. Wives, daughters, sisters, etc, would
be placed in office only when particularly qualified, and there would be
just enough officers 10 insure efficiency of government 1t would provide a
responsible head for all affairs OF state and he would have to make good
or get out
As things are now each state Official has q separate little kingdom Of
his own, and each conducts it according to his W liking. And each
seems anxious to Guido the others in making places for relatives.
NepoHsm B carried IN to a n alarming extent about the state capitol
there being hardly an office where it was not practiced during the last
administration. For instance there we're on the states payroll the treas
urers wife, the state secrehrys wife, ct al, the controllers wife tn
state printers wife, the supreme court clerks wife, the surveyor gener-
ais son and 10 O down the list almost without exception. All the Of

Governor Boyle is going out to correct a lot of abuses Of privileges
and it is dollars to doughnuts that he will succeed. HI hs the in
depence and courage to stand up and fight for what he knows to be right
and W g predict that he will bring order and business principal ut Of the
political Chaos and ruin of the past.
1t is not our purpose to reflect upon any state official of the last
administra lion. In giving places to wives and other relatives they did
just what he average person would do under the same circumstances. The
system is to blame, and Governor Boyle proposes to correct the system.
