Germany's Western Drive.

Frank H. Simonds in March Ameri-
can Review Of Reviews, considers Ger
many's western drive He says that
il must be conceded at once that ii
the Germans could win a great victory
in the West-take Calais, Boulogne
and the Channel Coast-the moral ef-
feet would be incalculable and might
lead with brief delay to the making
Of peace, which is postponed now be-
cause of the belief in all allied capt.
tai. that Germany is approaching ex-
haustion, that the war has been won.
If Germany could succeed now. where
she failed at the User, in the battles
of Flanders Is months ago. il she could
now strengthen her line out in France
and by shortening it reduce the num-
Der Of men required to guard it. her
success would be a staggering blow,
particularly to France.
But is the thing possible? Frankly,
1 cannot believe it, because 1t seems to
me impossible that Germany could
succeed now, when she Is out-number-
ed in the West and has to face equal
if not superior resources in munition
and in guns, when she has to break
through long stretches of permanent
works that have been building for
months. II it were not possible for
Germany to do it Is months ago. when
she had more men, more guns, and
more shells than her opponents. when
there were 100000 British instead of

Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-03-02

Of probability ia against such a sue
cess now.
We know that Germany has kept in
the West little less than 100000 men
at any time. To bring 100000 from the
East now-accepting the reported fig-
ures as correct-would be to raise the
total to about 10000 But the Brit
ish have officially announced their
force in the West as around 100000,
and we know that the French have not
less than 1,500,0 900 in their first line. AS
to munitions, allied superiority in the
Champagne battle was manifest, and
since then not merely French and Brit
ish, but American factories, the last
now beginning to deliver appreciate
quantities, have been busy.
To break through the allied lines
would entail huge losses; we know the
allied failure in September cost not
less than 100000. Before real break
could be made, the allies, having SUI
perior numbers, would be able to make
a concentration Of greater numbers be-
hind the danger point and the German
advance would be checked. On the sur
face the thing seems impossible; but
the impossible has proven by no means
unlikely in this war, and prophecy is
foolish.

Mexican Buys Four Quarts of Whisky
to Get Them as Premium.

SALLINA. Kan, Nov. 2S.-The Of
ficers of this city have made arrests
for the violation of the prohibition
law and received all kinds of eX-
cuses for the violation but one, and
that one came up Friday. 1t was a
picture Nf jar of Maraschino cher
ries on whisky advertisement that
found its way into the home of Felipe
Adrake, who up to this time has been
unknown to the police. He does not
like booze at all, but Mrs. Adrake
likes cherries, and the picture was so
tempting that she persuaded her
husband to buy gallon of whisky
of the kill 'em quick variety and
get the cherries free as premium.
This he did and had just taken the
four quarts out of the express office
when the police espied him and took
Felipe, the whisky and the little jar
of 13 cherries to the police station.
Felipe blames the number of cherries
for his misfortune. He was arrested
for carrying liquor thru the streets.
