eeRmANY's WESTERN DRIVE

Now. il must be conceded at once

lreat victory in the West, take
Calais. Boulognc. and the Channel
oeast-the moral effect would be in
calculable and might lead with brief
delay to the making OF peace, which

belief in all allied capitals that Ger

the war has been won. II Germany
sould succeed now, where she failed
at the User. in the battles Of Fland-

row straighten her line out in France

Ter of men required to guard it. her
success would be a staggering blow,
PARTICULARLY TO France.
But is the thing possible? Frankly,
cannot believe it. because It seems
TO me impossible that Germany could
succeed now, when she is outnumber-
cd in the West and has to face equal
if not superior resources IN munitions
and IN guns. when she has to break

he cut some more, and some more,
until there was little left but the
trunks Mr.. Matheson telephoned the

Collins is as worried as anyone over
the fate Of the beautiful trees, but he
calls it the mistake of a laborer who

to keep men on the job inexperienced

AGREEMENT MADE
ABOUT SEARCH,
sAYsSHIIN.BUN
Holdups Of Japanese Ships By
British Cruisers Results
in Understanding

An agreement as to the sphere
which the Japanese and British navies
respectively shall have in keeping
guard in Far Eastern waters has been
concluded between Great Britain and
japan, according to the KOkumin Shiii-
bun. OF Toxic.
The Japan Advertiser, in reprint .ng
the Shinbun'S story. says the agree
ment has resulted from the recen;
detention and searching OF JapaneH1
passenger steamers by British cruiS-
ers.
This distinct on has been made III
order 10 avoid further trouble between
the two countries from searches, the
paper says The japanese warships
are already prepared &c assume their
guard duty in accordance with the
agreement, says the Kokumin. .-....
At a meeting OF the political affairs
investigation committee of the Seiyu-
kai at the headquarters OF the party
last month the following r-SOluio1
was adopted in regard &c the search
of Japanese steamers by the British
cruiser:
This affair cannot but create anx-
iety in transportation and commerciai
circles and feeling of uncertainty
in the minds of the Japanese people.
Net only have such things resulted.
but the manner in which the searches
were made were improper, especially
the removal of the Indians from the
r. X. liner Tenyo Maru, VIII CHI can
only be regarded as a violation of in
ternational law. If the affair remains
unsettled it will increase the sue
picion of the japanese people and we
fear that such a feeling of suspicion
Will at last adversely affect the folin-
datiCn of the Anglo-JaEanese alliance.
The government, therefore, should
take proper and prompt measures to
settle the question. ... "
