The above is, in effect, the an- nouncement received in Tacoma
 three weeks ago in letter from Germany sent by relatives to Mrs. George A. Heagerty SO11 North Un- ion Avenue, and which. in an mex- plained manner escaped the British censor.
 The letter accurately foretold the near sailing of the Deutschland for the second voyage to the United States, and said that within a few weeks the second of the great sub marines. the Kanser would follow. Rumors as to the loss of the submar- inc Bremen, current for the last two or three months. and now said to be admitted by Capt. Paul Koenig of the Deutschland, are declared, ac- cording to the letter, to be part of a scheme of the German authorities to conceal their vessel movements, and are set at rest, so far as the letter is concerned. by the announce nent that tho Bremen has not yet left the ways end will not be put n commission for several weeks.

NOTHING TO REPORT.

How often have you read in the
newspaper dispatches from the Euro
pean war zone: The situation con.

Have you ever stopped to contem-
plate what this satisfactory" situa-
ton could mean?
1t could be that the nation in ques-
ton had not lost yard of trench

hold it. Still, that would be "satisfac
tory"
The following interesting editorial is
from the Savannah Morning News:
Brief laconic, apparently barren o.

W ats eagerly-such are the statements

statement from Paris 1.-THE night was
calm. There is nothing to report
What if thounsand sons of France
yielded the price of patriotism between
sunset and sunrise? What if a thous-
and Teuton boys, or men, both old and
young, sacrificed themselves to gain 4
few feet of muddy trenches? Was not
the night still calm? Is there anything
to report?
This war, it is not like any other,
is what the men at the front say.
Where once a general staff would have
agreed upon a certain maneuver only
as forlorn hope they now order an
impetuous rush strike quickly and
hard in tremendous efforts to break
the deadlock in the west A few hun
dreds OF thousands of men lost heer

gantic scale on which this world strug-
gle is waged if they accomplish the
purpose of the attack. The calm OF
pace is never known along the grea-
zigzag lines of the trenches. 1t is
only comparative calm of which the
statement speaks.
But what of this calmness on this
night in France? The mind picture is
CHASTITY. Stretched through forests
and hills and valleys the trenches
form uneven lines for miles, with the
French and British on one side facing
the Germans in the first line only a
few yards away. Were they all sleep
ing at their guns? Was there no sur
prise attack attempted?
The brief sentence, There is moth
ing to report does not mean SIat a
hundred Frenchmen who were alive at
sunset were still alive at sunrise. It
does not conceal that night after night.
