A MISPLACED Letter,

The ranspositiOn of letters in the
same word sometimes produces the
most ludicrous results. In 'The Still
Hour" which was written by Profess
sor Phelps, is the fine line ''The still
ness of the hour is the stiffness of
dead calm at sea-" A large number
was printed and disposed of before it
was discovered that ''clam" had been
printed for ''calm."

What the War Moves Mean

, Germany. however, has done this very
thing in the west, to increase her
offensive power against the Slavs.
Yet despite the Withdrawals from
Germans western trenches, the
French and English have been unable
to force the teutons to retire.
theoretically there is no reason why
the S,avs. too, cannot hold their de-
lenses west of Warsaw with weak
ened, force. They have had many
months of quiet in which to strength
en- the trenches and however short
the Russians may be of high powered
offensive shells, it Is not probable they
seriously lack defensive machine gun
ammunition.
Warsaw's fall. therefore, would es-
tablish in a very definite way, seri-
GUS decline in the defensive powers
of the Russians. Hitherto certain
capacity for inertia has caused the
slavs to display very high resisting
ability.
If Warsaw is abandoned. 1t will
mean the phlegm of the Russians is
giving away to a disquieting imagfna-
tion. IL ever that characteristic be-
comes well developed in Russia, a
separate peace may not ha far on.

whether the note could be finally put

would be held for formal approval in
completed form by the entire cabinet
Friday 1t was understood that some
announcement might be Forthcoming

note might be published in American

The note declares in emphatic terms
that this government will view with

an action cannot be regarded other
wise than threatening hitherto peace

porated in the note. They were IN the
rtp I.p rfr fnl
that the words "evidence Of unfriend-
liness" had been substituted, with the
addition that new submarine disas-
ter involving American lives might
disturb friendly relations. Following
a conference last night between the
president and Secretary Lansing it is
understood the unfriendly act clause
had been reincorporated with some
notifications.
An important subject not touched
on in the note. it was learned today
is a demand for financial reparation
for American lives lost on the Lusi-
tania The question Of collection Of
monetary DAMAGES from Germany for
American families of victims is left
open. There is no question such de-

to inject money matters at this time

received the treasury's report on the
alleged attack on tho Orduna, so no
reference to it is made in the note.
Increased hope for successful solu-
tion Of the German question was mani.
fest in official circles today, possibly
due to the temperate tone Of the note,
but also to Berlin papers. Despite

offcially disavowed by Germany and
