self, believe that Germany must
depend primarily on her army,
and that the submarine campaign,
which is necessarily irritating to
neutral nations, may in the end
hurt rather than help Germany.
In the course of this most kalei.
doscopic war, the point ofinterest
and the focus of antagoniSm con-
stantly shift. First, it was Aus.
tria and Serbia, then Germany and
France. then the Teutonic powers
and Russia, then Germany and
England. If, as seems likely, the
struggle continues to still more
bitter end, it is these last two
that must inevitably face each 9th.
er as the chief antagonists. Ger.
many long ago saw that; England
begins to see it, and is girding up
its loins to the task. So far France
and Russia have borne the brunt
OF the battle; they have done their
best; but after a year of sacrifice
and bloodshed they find the Ger
mans still firmly intrenched on
their soil, not actually victOrs yet,
but in possession ofevery military
advantage. No one believes that
Italy can turn the scale, now that
Russia is beaten back. If Ger
many is defeated, it will be be-
cause the British navy has drawn
tight the net of it's blockade; be.
cause British gold has been spent
lavishly to supply the needs of
less wealthy allies, and because
'Kitchener's army" is so large
and so well equipped that in com,
pany with the French it can dis.
lodge the Germans from the in.
vader. If England does less than
her utmost, Germany will not be
beaten.

REPORT THAT THREE POLICE
HAD BEEN FIRED TO MAKE
ROOM FOR OTHERS UNTRUE
SAYS MR.. LONDON.

A rumor became current yesterday
afternoon and last night that the po-
lice department had been shaken up
for the express purpose of making
room for another man, but when the
matter was called to the attention of
Police Commissioner London this
morning he most emphatically denied
it and said that the only motive in
laying off men was for the purpose of
saving that much to the city as the
department had more men that it re-
quired under present conditions.
Chief Hutchins stated this morning
that if there was anything in the re-
port he had not heard of it and was
also of the opinion that it was mere
gossip. Several men have been ap
pointed as plain clothes men from
time to time and some are now act
ing as special officers some with and
some without pay but there is no rea-
son to expect that there will be any
radical changes in the police depart
ment soon.

bank at several points, but Berlin
asserts that they completely failed
and that the German force is ad-
yancing in an easterly direction.
The Russians, who were defeated
in the Baltic provinces recently, have
turned, and, according to the Berlin
official report, have delivered an at
tack from Mitau, which, however, was
repulsed.
Further to the south the Germans
continue their advance eastward to-
ward the Vilna-Pctrograd railway, but
there is a lot of territory to cover
before this is reached and it is con-
sidered more likely that General Won
Buelow. who is in command here, will
turn to the southwest to threaten
the Russian armies which are facing
Won Hindenburg.
Everywhere the battles are at their
height, especially that in which Won
Mackensen is engaged. All the mill
tary critics here believe that this is
the most critical engagement of the
campaign, for the whole German plan
depends on his reaching the Lublin-
Cholm railway.

UNITED TRADES COUNCIL
HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING
Contributed

The United Trades Council met last
night in regular session and trans
acted business of Importance con-
cerning the local crafts.
The local Trades Council is striving
to better labor conditions for every
organized craft, and with the assist
ance of all locals, which they are
entitled to, will soon be one of the
strongest in the state. The council
has voted to change, or rather reduce
the dues from eight cents per mem
Der to five cents per member, com
plying with the request OF several
locals which are not now affiliated
with the central body. BY this
change, the council expects to OBJ
tain the carpenters, clerks, electric
ians, painters and general laborers, all
of whom are not affiliated.
The central body is at present com
posed of the BARRIERS, teamsters, print
ers and pressmen and all union-spirit
ed locals should carry out their prin'
ciples by identifying their locals with
the central council.
The special meeting, which the cen
tral body held a few weeks ago for
the purpose of stimulating union con-
ditions, had the desired effect, and

this meeting. as it was even more
than they anticipated at first, nearly
every craft has donated to defray the
extra expense, and the council is in
first-class condition.
\ donation is asked from every
craft in the city to assist in sending
delegate from the central body to
the State Federation of Labor con
vention. which meets in Oklahoma
CITY August 16. The delegate will
be elected next Friday night at which
time the members or all crafts are
asked to be present and take part
in selecting a suitable delegate, as
we'll as present their donation. a
committee is now out calling upon
the members of the various locals
in regard to funds for the state dele,
gate.
The council has changed its regular
meeting nights from the second and
fourth Tuesday nights to every Fri
day night The above mentioned
Tuesday nights have been assigned
to the electricians local. The council
has only one more night of each week
left for rent, and any local desiring
the use of same will please consult
the officers of the council.
The printers, pressmen, BARRIERS and
carpenters have already elected their
delegates to the state convention and
all other crafts are expected to dc
likewise. and the central council will
appreciate a report from any locaI
which contemplates sending a dele
gate.
