WAR SUMMARY

An advance of 400 yards along g mile and a quarter front by Italian troops on the road to Trieste; an nouncement by the Germans that they had captured a French position, 1000 yards in length northeast of Soissons and an infantry raid upon German bases along the German coast consti- tuted the chief news development in the wa rtheatres Saturday.
 Aside fro mthe battle fronts, oc- currences in Brazil and in southern Russia bear important relation to the war Forty six mechant vessels ag- gregating 240.799 tons are restored to the worlds carrying trade a ta time when they are urgently needed by a decree signed Saturday by President Braz of Brazil. enabling that country to make use of German vessels now in Brazilian ports.
 This action was the first step talk en by Brazil after revoking her de- of neutrality in the war.

GERMANY MUST HAVE
 PACIFIC BASE SAYS
 HAMBURG PROFESSOR
Declares Flag of Imperial Elm pire Must Not Be Allowed To Disappear From South Sea Islands.
fBy Review Leased wire.l

COPENHAGEN, June 2-Germany must re-establish herself in the Paci. fic, in order not to miss her last op- portunity to prevent a final settle ment of Japanese. American and British, especially Australian, inter ests, in the opinion of Professor Paul Preuss in an article in the Hamburger Nachrichten, of Hamburg.
 "A self-contained Central Africa '' he writes. stretching as far as pos sible to the west. and the possibility of land connection of Central Africa with Constantinople by way of Egypt makes the scheme seem particularly attractive. But world economics and world politics cannot be pursued with Central Africa alone. We need other bases also for our world trade and sea traffic. In the Far East, in the Pacific Ocean we have for three de- csdes possessed rising little colo nial empire, and it would be an un- forgivable and irreparable mistake if We were to abandon our South Seas colonies and to withdraw from the Pacific, merely because the great set clement of interests has begun among the three great powers-Japan. North America and England-Australia, and because we shall have to fear that at some later date we should come into contact with these powers.
 'If the three powers were to ar rive at perfect and permanent agree ment about the Pacific Ocean and China our case would be hopeless. But as long as Japan and America oppose one another in more or less open hostility, and as long as Austra- lia sees in Japan, whom England has summoned to the protection of her interests in the East. her most dan gerous competitor and opponent-as long as these things are so, Germany has no occasion to budge from the Pacific.
 "A temporary occupation of our col onies by our enemies is of no deci- sive importance. The disappearance of the German flag from New Guinea and the group of islands in the Paci- fic would mean an irreparable loss of prestige and world power for the German Empire all over the East. If we lose our naval bases there we fall back to the rank of mere carriers and traders. in whose face the door can always be slammed"
 The professor concludes: ''If Ger many recovers her South Sea colonies she can, without any great anxiety, resume in grand style the competi- tion for commercial supremacy in the Pacific in the new age of commercial policy"

THE STRIKES LULU.

Backed by the federal government which has gone on record both from the president and from the secretary of labor being unateraby opposed to any labor dis turbances during the period of the war, the striking miners Jerome appear to be giving way It has come only way must of necessity be that the operators will retain their former system in the treat ment labor with the increased scale in effect
 The proposal that the who remained loyal to the companies be discharged is ridiculous the fact of the entire affair It promptly dismissed as impossible when advanced by the strike leaders
 Then too, the call of the nation is too much for handful strikers oppose. There is no sympathy with object of the wakout. Friends of labor are opposed the policy adopted at Jerome There can be no labor by labor when its object is so selhsh as that at Jerome has been found to be.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-06-03

As for the inference in the communication that the United States should fighting Imperial Ger man Government, there many arguments favor of democracy against autocracy. Otto H. Kahn. German born man. aptly put the to the question which afronts all Americans of Teutonic origin.
 Speaking born of German parents" The said q do not hesitate to state it my deep conviction that
 the greatest service which persons of German birth anecedents render the country of their origin is
 to adhere and stand for those ideals and trad tons which they their ancestors inherited and in which they brought up They must set their faces
 like flint against the monstrous doctrines and acts of rulershp which has robbed them of Germany which they and which had affection and the admra tion of the world.
 Tt is my deep conviction that the unmstakably and wholeheartedly they themselves the gle which this country has entered order Germany less than the the world from those sinister forces that are President Wilson's language the enemy of all mankind the better they protect and serve the old name"
 Our correspondent is to be censured unduly. His her. communication is the result of ignorance paran ca, cowardice. We would recommend that cores pondents before writing to any newspaper conduct an argument with themselves and then put their conclusions on paper.
