place a ban on the benefit assessment laws
that exist in practically every other Common
wealth, this particular difficulty would not be
encountered. Damages, if there were any,
would be offset by benefits, and public i'm

they were needed. The city government should
unite with the governments of other Virginia
municipalities to effect the repeal OF this silly

Pendulum Swings to West

N lSPATCHES from Paris, recording French
successes at Flcury and tho Thiaumont
work, In the sector of Verdun, and British
reports of important captures of second line
trenches north OF Pozieres, are coincident in
point of time with Field Marshal Won linden
burg's assumption of supreme command on
the eastern front, of the check administered
to the Russian forces menacing Kovel and OF
an Au~stro-Hungarian counteroffcnsive in
Southern Galicia. The allied pend again
has swayed from east to west.
Clearly it was necessary for Germany to
make some reply to Brussiloff's attacks. With
Gaiicia rapidly disa ppearing into the NAV OF
the bear. with Lemberg as well as Kovel
seemingly about to fall, with Cossack horse
men riding down into the fields of Hungary,
and Vienna and Budapest murm uring of a
separate peace. Germany had to act.
In the German strategy a vigorous offensive
is the best form of defense. The Russians
have been drawn far from their bases, and
the railroads and highways by which their
commissary and ordnance departments are
supplied are taxed almost to the limit. The
time has come, while Kovcl and Lemberg yet
stand, for the German counterattack, and
Hindenburg evidently has been selected to
make 1t. Only an insufficient supply Of troops
will stay the German hand.
AT any rate, the Russians are checked. al
least for the time, and so the correlated allied
OIL ~ 81 DlOW VI ulOWS III the west.
Perhaps the crown prince Rade his recent
attacks on the Meuse for the very purpose
Of concealing walls 10 re-enforce the
lines on the Somme or the StOkhod. Com
mentators say that at Nerdun the offensive
is passing-some of them say it actually has
paSSed-from German into French hands.
The vigor of the onslaughts at Fleury and
Thiaumont dispose finally Of the theory that
the strength OF the fortress and it's gallant
defenders had been sapped by five months OF
bloody battle. The French have sufficient
forces to take advantage of the least sug-
gestion Of weakness on the part of their
adversary.
TO the north, after Il period OF inactivity
broken only by minor enga gements fought to
consolidate ground previously won, the Brit
ish have resumed their march toward Ba-
paume. The days of rest were DAYS Of rest
only. for it is not conceivable that General
iIaig would abandon his purpose at the. cam
paigns present stage. If he did so. before
tho Ba paume-Peronne line has passed under
allied control, all the heavy sacrifices that
have been made would have been made in
vain.
There is the further necessity, Of course. of
preventing German consolidation on the east
ern front. To this end the whole western
line is likely to spring into new artillery
activity. and the launching of another Of
fensivc, pcrha ps from Arras, would not sur
prise.
