German attack on the Russian Bal
tic provinces would be yet another.
All this, counting up seven lines Oh
several contact, Is aside from the
naval operations by which Germany
Is bottled up In the west and Aus
tria In; the Adriatic. 1t suggests the
beginning Of the final massive effort
to crush In the Austro-G German shell
by sheer mass Of superior forces on
many fronts.
There Is good reason for misgiv-
Ing on the part of the allies about
the present stage of the war. But
let 1t be looked at for q moment
from the viewpoint Of the German
military experts as they wrote about
the Great War before the war be-
gan. They foresaw, then, that their
victory must be gained in year,
else they would not be able to hold
out indefinitely against the enemies
that In that year would have been
raised against them. The year has
approximately passed, and the very
condition that both Bernhard and
Won Tirpitz feared, has begun to
develop.

THR,WASHINdTON BEAUTY

The news columns of The Times
today contain an interesting beauty
note from Los Angeles, CAL, where
there are now foregathered some
forty-odd beautiful girls, represent
ing every State in the Union, the
winners in beauty contests conducted
by as many newspapers. 1t shouldn't
surprise Washingtonians to be in
formed that the District Of Columbia
winner has been declared the most
beautiful Of all the galaxy Of pretty
women.
This town has long been noted for
its beautiful, charming and graceful
women. Washington and The Times
entered the nationwide beauty con-
test with a ''hpnch" that its chosen
representative would run close race
in the finals with the languid beau
ties Of the South the breezy beau
ties Of the West and the flaxep-
haired queens of New England-the
Beauty Editor informs U.s. that all
the New England winners were
blondes.
Miss Ruth Purcell is to be con-
graduated upon upholding the repu-
tation Of the National Capital as
the beauty center of the nation. The
Times albeit feels a bit proud that
through it there should have been
selected charming young woman
who passed the rigid censorship of
Western judges and came out with
first honors. It is an honor worth
while to the average woman and
with her beauty, we are told, Miss
Purcell has charm of manner, COM
mon sense, and other womanly
qualities which commend her.
"Tt's a long way to Los Angeles, ,
but Washingtonians generally hold
up their own, not matter in what
line of endeavor, and hats are off to
Miss Purcell.

words, but they indicate that both
chieftains realize that Mexico must
compose herself or be composed
from the outside, and that they both
will be brushed aside unless they
bend their efforts toward the resto-
ration Of order. Both Carranzs and
villa acknowledge that the funda-
mental trouble In Mexico Is the vir-
tual serfdom Of the masses, and
Carranza offers Q program =, for
amslioration Of the Ills that beset
the people, by o distribution Of gov
ernment lands and otherwise. The
differences that separate Carranza
and Villa appear to be principally
their ambitions and jeal6usies.
Carranzs seems more conciliatory
than has been his won't. He evident
ly is bidding for recognition from
the United States. Villa indicates
. bit Of defiance toward this coun-
try, disputing the right Of any for
eign country to interfere. He Is
wasting both time and words when
he seeks to debate that question.
The American Government has de-
cided that its own interests, as we'll
as the interests Of Mexico and of
the world, require that anarchy be
brought to an end, that nuisance be
abated.
Every opportunity has been af-
forded Carranza and Villa to set up
a stable government, one that can
discharge it's international func-
tions and confidently invite recog-
milton by other powers. Until such
government is established, none
will be recognized by this country;
but such a government will be
erected, even if to do it the inter-
vention of the United States be-
comes necessary. 1t is this that Villa
and Carranza realize, and the light
may lead them into q final and sue
cessful effort, and by peaceful
rather than by military means, the
latter having already failed, to re-
store Mexico to the society Of
nations.

is urged by country which most Of
Germany despises?
These are questions that need to
be weighed very prayerfully by
people who assume to lead the coun-
try into q feeling of security about
the possibility Of war with Ger
many. These questions are to be
answered first by ths military su-
thorities Of Germany, whose record
Is quite familiar. What the mill
tsry authorities decide will be
echoed by the Berlin foreign Office.
Let II be remembered that at the
very beginning of the war state
craft In Germany admitted the
wrong Of tho Belgian invasion, and
promised recompense for damages.
Military authority conducted the In
vasion, and instead Of recompense,
imposed special and onerous tributes
upon the cities Of the conquered
area. Is It to be expected that the
diplomatic authority will now pre-.

Along with all this testimony
concerning the sort Of counsels that
are getting attention in Germany

possible arguments which will tend

Washington's PEN
Stripped of Plate

For the second time in nifty years
the silver plate bearing the facsimile
Of George Washington's signature
has been stolen from the Washington
pew in Christ Church. Alexandria.
Coincident with this loss. a page
has been discovered missing from the
Bible on the Masonic altar in the
Alexandria Masonic Temple. the Bible
being one of the relics of the oldge OF
which General Washington was mas
ter.
The police Of this city have been
asked to look out for the missing
relics. but II is not thought any at
tempt will be made to dispose Of them.

persons who wanted them for SOU

Washtngton's pew was stolen during
the civil war and another was placed

MEXICO SEEING THE LIGHT

The heads Of both factions in
Mexico perceive that mere words no
longer avail; and that there must be
something more than promises to
prevent the United States from set
ting in motion measures for the
pacification of their country.
General Villa has responded to
President Wilson's message to the
Mexican revolutionary leaders,
blaming Carranza for the conditions
which obtain at present, and while
expressing his admiration for the
Presidents sense of justice, declares
that the United States has no
right. to interfere in Mexico's inter-
nal affairs. He assigns as the cause
Of the break between himself and
Carranza the first chiefs refusal
to take the presidency ad interim
and call an election to organize q
constitutional civil government"
General Carranza has issued O
proclamation, prompted by Presi.
dent Wilson's warning, in which he
says that "the national congress
will Issue the proper coll for or
election, and the first chief will de.
liver authority to the person who Ii
elected President" With this pro,

BUSINESS AS USUAL"

Wheat reached a new low point
Friday, while cotton was firm and
higher. That has been the gen.
eral tendency for some time, and it
illustrates the danger Of imagining
that very unusual conditions are
likely TO continue very long time
in business.
Last autumn there was an instant
, advance in wheat and recession In
cotton values when the war spread
to half the world. It was useless to
point out, as this paper repeatedly
did, that in due time the world
would have to use the cotton, and
that then it's price would come back.
People wanted to hold wheat and
sacrifice cotton. Fortunately for
most of the cotton growers, there
was not sufficient market for them
even to sacrifice it. =.
As a result of these conditions,
the world plunged into wheat, and
cotton was to a considerable extent
abandoned. Now the country faces
the prospect of bigger wheat crop
even than it raised last year, and
wheat is going down while cotton
is going up.
1t is dangerous to assume even in
extraordinary circumstances that
business will in the long run be
conducted otherwise than "as usual

THE DIPLOMATIC SITUATION

The press of Germany, the United
States and England are entitled to
measure of commendation that
they will probably not get, for their
moderation in discussing the crisis
between this country and Germany.
The English press has refrained, as
one British newspaper expressed it,
from giving advice that America
probably didn't want and surely
didn't need. The German press has
been less bellicose than at any time
since the war began; and the Amer
lean press as a whole has been able
to find justification for optimism in
circumstances that, it may be con-
fessed, have not always seemed to
warrant all the .cheerfulness ex-
pressed.
It is we'll to look the situation
squarely in the face. What is the
chance that Germany will be will
ing to modify her methods Of SUBJ
marine warfare, so as to bring them
even within the possible minimum
Of President Wilson's demands? All
the reports that have come out of
Germany for months are strength
ened by those which come today:
that the German nation is as happy
over its submarine successes as ii
was in the beginning over the AZ
centimeter guns and their accom-
plishments; as confident of subma.
rine efficacy as it once was conf.
dent of Zeppelin efficacy; as sure OF
the defensibleness of submarine
warfare as Of the inhumanities in
Belgium.
There is room for debate as to
whether Germany could meet a
minimum of Washington's demands
without destroying the real eff
cheney Of the submarine arm, which
has proved the only useful one IN
the German navy. 1t Is stated that
Admiral Won Tirpitz insists that
there shall be absolutely no relaxa.
ton of the submarine warfare. He
would torpedo anything within the
war zone, and if it meant war with
the United States would take or
another enemy. Chancellor vor
Bethmann-H Hollweg Is described az
of the opposite opinion; he would
meet the United States far enough
on the way of compromise to save
peace, even at sacrifice Of the sub.
marine power.
Which set Of counsels may be ex.
pected to prevail7 The American
note has been sent to the Kaiser al
the front for his suggestions as tc
the answer. What will be the sug

THE BATTLE ON THE DNIEsTER

The Russians In Galicia have not
been routed and rendered ineffective,
as Is shown by the fact that, retir-
ing behind the Dniester river, they
have reformed in strong positions,
are making a vigorous stand, and
even undertaking SO ambitious a
project as Q counter-offensive. It is
not at all to be assumed that the
strategy Of Grand Duke Nicholas
contemplates anything so danger
GUS as q continual retirement in the
hope of drawing the Germans into
hostile territory, lengthening their
lines, and at length attacking them
with superior force. Campaigns are
not won by the deliberate process
of losing battles and retiring; some
times they are won by the process
of losing battles and yet continuing
to advance, as Grant demonstrated.
But the present Galician situation
begins to point the dangers to Ger
many and Austria Of fighting such
an enemy as Russia. Napoleon q
century ago learned what those
dangers were; Charles XII two CEN
turies ago went to Moscow-and
lost his army for his success, as Ma
poleon lost his empire. The difficulty
that German strategy confronts to-
day is the same that those great
chiefs faced. Pushing Russia back
is like sweeping the Pacific ocean
back upon itself when the tide in
sists on rising. .,
It is safe to conjecture that the
allies have made urgent representa-
tions to Russia, urging her to put
forth extreme efforts to keep just
as many Of the Teutonic forces busy
in Galicia, in order that they may
be kept away from the other fronts,
on some Of which at last the war
must be won or lost. It is plain
enough that it will not be deter
mined in the east. Italy is making
gains, and it will make more Of
them if she is not compelled to meet
an onslaught Of overwhelming
forces brought from the east. The
failure to land bigger share of
Kitchener's army In France and
Belgium and, with a great smash
against the western end Of the Ger
man lines roll up the Teutonic
forces along the trench lines by an
enfilading movement, must be In
some part explained by diplomatic
conditions. The line In the west is
now SO strongly intrenched that II
