THE NEW OFFENSIVE.

From the fact that the German mil itary and naval forces have been making full use of the positions which they hold in Belgium to promote their submarine activity and to harrass England by air raids, it has long been appreciated that one of the most i'm portant drives that could be under taken by the allied forces would be to direct it against the German right flank with the idea of driving them not only away from the coast towns of Belgium but to disiodge them from their bases in western Belgium which are maintained to the detriment of the entente forces.
 Preparations to this end have been indicated for some little time and the surmise that when the new offensive by Field Marshall Haig was launched it would be in this direction was even shared by the enemy to the extent that a large number of reserves and 2 great many new guns were massed in that locality. Thus the new drive could hardly be looked upon in the nature of 2 surprise except so far as the time it was started was concern ed, and with the preparations which were made to offset it the fact that the objectfves of the first day were attained and in some sections progress made beyond such points, the start must be looked upon as an suspicious one.
 Germany may, of course, and doubt less will claim that no vital points have been secured, that the advance includes only a few small villages which are of no great importance. but it must be realized that this has been forced at a point where Germany was prepared to give substantial re- sistance. The very fact that it has been forced back along a 20 miles front for distances of two miles in some places shows the magnitude of the offensive and the artillery op- eraticns which preceded it. It is aim cd at point where important re- suits are obtainable for if the allies can force back or turn that flank of the enemy they will deliver master stroke at the enemy's lines in the rT-ae

ETHEL's PECULIAR STORY

'I can't quite make up my mind,' said the girl who likes to talk. I'm afraid I never could accomplish it in
 the world-but I've about decided when I'm on earth again that I'll be a girl like my cousin Ethel..'
 "Is Ethel a beauty2' asked the pa- tient listener.
 why. I really don't know" said the girl who likes to talk in some amaze ment at herself. You see, Ethel is
 the scrt of girl you never stop to con- slider, so far as looks go. because you are too taken up with respect for her good for anyhow, is to get woman what she wants and to make life easy for her. So if she can accomplish the same results without it why she is to not cold blooded in talking about ma terial advantages everybody on earth, men and women, are headed that way to a degree and you know it. We'll, truism about self crifice and con- sideration for others and gets away with it would make you sit up and hold your aching head!
 What causes envy to seethe with in me particularly is her utter disre- gard of time. Time? Ethel doesn't know how to spell the word, She never was on time in her life! When she was a baby the nurse sat around and waited for Ethel to get ready to take her bottle, and when she went to school frantic youngsters yell ed and shrieked a | her front door for Ethel to hurry up. All the living room chairs had to be reupholstered twice in her young lady days because they be- came worn out by restless young men wiating for Ethel to get ready for the theatre or dance.
 "As for myself if I'm not already at the brea kfast table when my family arrives my father explodes at my laz- mess or else my mother comes up- stairs to ask whether [ am ill and the whole family is upset, The time my watch was slow and I wasn't ready when Ted Harbeck came for me to go to the theatre what happened? Did he smile and say to himself: Dear lit tie grill She can't bother that curly head of hers over hours and minutes! and patiently read a magazine till I chose to come down, with the taxi away like mad outside? I should say he didn't. Ted is going to be a captain of finance or something big and tremendous ruthless some dayi He just stepped to the foot of the stairs and shouted: Great Scott. Su- san. Whachu doing? Don't you know we're late now and the taXi's eating dollar bills with mint sauce outside this minute? Hustle up, for petes sake.' And I hustled so fast that forgot to powder property and wore a shiny red nose all evening meekly-

PEACE TALK AND BELGIUM.

It may be that Germany and Aus tro- Hungary think that the allied nations are so eager for peace that they will jump at the first straw, but they must realize that such is a far fetched guess if they stop to analyze Great Britain and France on the other side of the water and that taken by the United States on this.
 If it was possible for the belligerent nations to get together for the open ing of negotiations upon other fea- lures of the war that which is taken by Germany relative to Belgium is sufficient to knock such a thing in the head. When the press of Ger many give expression to the idea that it would be foolish to think of Ger many giving up Belgium, that part of it is at least required in order to protect the interests and safety of Germany in the future and that there is no intention of turning that coun- try over to Great Britain and France, it can be appreciated that peace, or even a peace conference is a long way off.
 This is an expression of course which comes from the German press but it can be relied upon as Voicing the sentiment of the war ministry of that country. The idea of no annex ations and no indemnities has not as yet won over the supporters of Prus- sianisTn in that country. r. may be claimed that this is but the voice of the press and not that of the govern ment but it is noticeable fact that the imperial government has not taken the trouble to deny the accu- racy of such expressions or that they do not reflect the feeling of that gov- ernment.
 How Austro- Hungary feels in re- gard to that. as well as other matters is fully summed up in the statement Of Count .Czernin, the foreign minis ter, when he declared that Germany and Austria were in full accord upon all matters, whether it concerned peace or war. The outrages which have been committed upon Belgium will not permit the allies to leave that country, or any part Of it, to the nercies of a nation like Germany.

PUBLIC MARKETS,

In view of the aroused interest in the production of greater crops, the efforts which are being made to over come high prices and the need of overcoming waste through the utili- zation of all aNailab1e crops, along with which of course goes the solution Of the problem involving a better dis tribution of products so that the grow CTS can dispose of a greater amount of their goods and those who can make use of them can secure them. at prices within their reach. it is net surprising that increased attention is being given to the opening of pub lie markets.
 There are of course at the present time many farmers. and peddlers who purchase their stock from truck gardeners, who take care of certain amount of this business through house to house trade. There are some far mers who have regular customers for all seasonable products but there are a great many who complain that they cannot get rid of their vegetables and other articles raised on a farm at a compensating price, that too frequent iy they fail to make a complete har- vest for that reason and there are in stances where they have given up cultivating their land because they figure that someone else is getting the greater share of the benefits from ,heir labor without the consumers getting any relief.
 In view of these conditions public

MEXICAN NEUTRALITY.

Whether Carranza learns of the matter in advance of it's presenta- ton to him by ambassador Fletcher on his return to Mexico City. the fact that this country is deSirous of bringing to an end the German spy ing and propa ganda work which is being carried on there against the United States and the allied nations ought not to be any surprise to the
 president of the Mexirar republic
 Just how much actual information this country has concerning these operations in the neiGhboring coun- try is not revealed. Those are facts which must of necessity be reserved for the ear of Carranza, If the appeal is going to amount to anything but there are good reasons for believing that aside from what he may be told he already must be conscious of the fact that the agents of Germany are exceeding their rightE in neutral Mexico. even as they did in this coun- try for a long period before this ma tion declared itself in a state of war
 This country may not necessarily feel that CarranZa is openly aiding and encouraging the activity of these representatives, but it cannot never theless refrain from entertaining the idea that the Mexican government is rot doing all 1t should to rid that country of such a Dpenace or that it is insisting upon the proper respect for it's neutrality. The linita tions of the Mexican government are thoroughly understood but there are responsibil- ities which it must assume in respect to itself and in respect to all other nations. As a neutral it must do it's utmost to live up to it's obligations and that is what Ambassador Fletcher at the instigatior of this government will endeavor to convince Carranza is not being done. Mexico is the re- fuSe of German agents and leaders who had been at work in this coun- try and what they were doing here there are good reasons for believing they are doing in Mexico. and that is not for the good of that republic or in fact any nation except Germany.

STORIES OF THE WAR

Grief Stricken at shiPbuildins Aetiv-

 (Correspondence of The Associated
 Press.)
 A German submarine came some what mysteriously to grief a few weeks ago on the rocks just outside the harbor of Sunderland. England According to naval men, the accident was probably due to failure Of the machinery. But the people of Sum eerland, proud of the progress their little port has made in the merchant shipbuiiding industry, declare that the poor U-boat died of broken heart ships" in process of completion along the estuary.
 Standard cargo ships. singIy. in pairs, in threes. or fours, occupy every possible berth along the riNfr, ih every conceivable sort of position There are grain boats. oil boats. re- trigerator boats, and general cargo boats, but all built to one design. Plates from any one Of them might be taken off and riveted 10 1ts- other, snd even the engines are of standard design and might be transferred from one boat to another without trouble.
 The amount of labor now at work on these ships is numerically equiva- lent to something over an army corps. Thousands of the workmen are too old for the front, thousands of oth- ers too young. and there are thous- ands of women well. All feel, however. that they are 'ln the war" and the Spirit of the district is well tne side of one of the half completed alps. placed there as a welcome 70 .he King on the occasion of his re- sent visit.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

How many members of Congress have an interest in a coal mine? It is a fair question. Otherwise the sulking of that body, it's refusal to pass the legislation required to give protection, cannot be accounted for As they delay and talk and rnEddIe the price of coal advances and the householder is heavily embarrassed and handicapped. We suggest that when a considerable number of the members of Congress take vacation they go to Berlin. They would be in a congenial place there. Mann might

."EtheI wouldn't have done it. She hasn't any nerves. She would have deliberately finished her toilet and de- scended to her fuming friend looking a perfect dream, sweetly smiling, and manIike he would have forgotten at once about the delay! Necessarily Tom couldn't forget it all evening.
 "No reiat tive ever dreamed of calling Ethel when button came off and had to be sewed on in hurry, and you never heard the wild family slogan: ] Ethel, have you seen my cap. or my pocket book or laundry list--qaick :: Ethel probably would be manicuring her nails and people couldn't walt for her to dry her hands, disentangle her self from the peffumed water, polish, buffers and files and hunt through three bureau drawers for her work basket-which she would discover was empty because somebody else always was doing her mending and button sewing. Anyhow, if she did find needle and thinble and thread she would come dreamily with her hand outstretched for the button and when she was informed that the button was lost and please to get another she porbably would dissolve into tears and sob that she didn't see why she had to work so hard!
