Too much credit cannot be given the leading
business men who took general charge of the
Red Cross campaign which just came to sue
cessful finish.
When men like H. y. Alexander, A. G.. Prich-
ard, III. A. Rhodes, George Fl. Long, Chester
Thorne, John S. Baker, L. H. Bean and William
Jones, to mention just few, put in many hours
day of whoe-souled labor, in addition to large
checks, their enterprise is going to count for
something This they did, splendidly, in the Red
Gross canvass. The hundred business men and
the dozens Of women who helped them bring the
appeal to the people of Tacoma are entitled to
equal credit
1t was fine, unselfish business, and they each
personally, and Tacoma as a community, will all
be better for the giving.

Don't Be Bi9oted; Read
the German Side
(From the Cologne Gazette

We must be quite clear about the fact that, if
the Russian chooses the Englishman as his
friend, the world-power of Germany is relegated
to misty distance; 1t is, indeed, doubtful wheth
en- in that event, our object ever be achieved.
Ii there is way to effect from without, in
favor of the rising world powers the compare
lively rapid dissolution Of the British empire, it
is only by means Of a German ussian-J Japanese
world coalition Of course, such coalition is, at
bottom, another syndicate for the division of the
world" But the object Of the political map Of
the earth is not to remain unaltered; the utmost
German devotion to peace would not dispose Of
the aggressive imperialism of the others, but
would merely permit Germany's development to
decay.
If we succeed by means of Russian and Japan
ese advances, with German and German Turkish
protection of their flanks, in destroying the Eng
lish positions in the middle and far east, the ult-
mate reconciliation of Russian and North Amer
lean imperialism will be facilitated, because
North America will then be unable to cooperate
with Great Britain in the Pacific ocean.
Perhaps in later future-to mention only one
of the numerous possbilities-the North Ameri-
canfar eastern line of separation will straight
across the Australian continent which, as is well
known, is eagerly coveted by the japanese as
land for settlers.
If we are able to overthrow the British, and
thus to render Russia and Japan decisive service
in Asia against England, we ought to be able to
obtain permanent recognition of our Turkish and
near eastern policy, and to make the western
edge of the Persian mountains the frontier be-
tween the quadrlple alliances sphere of interest
. and Russa's sphere of interest.

LIGHTNING STRUCK TWICE.
Farm Buildings at West Berlin and Barn
at Montpelier Burned.

Fire, caused by lightning striking the
barn, destroyed the farm buildings owned
by Hosea n Brown, located on the west
hill in West Berlin, late yesterday aft
ernoon, the house and barn being total
ly destroyed, but the house furnishings
were saved.
The lightning struck the water pipe.
destroying the only means by which an
effort might have been made to save the
buildings, and Mrs. Brown was alone in
the house except for her father. Mr..
Brown was absent with the horses and
the cattle were in the pasture, so that
all of the stock was saved.
The loss is estimated at about S250O,
most of which is covered by insurance.
The farm has been owned by Mr.. Brown
but few years, but has always been
in the Brown family.
The Montpelier fire department was
called to the Taft mill on Terrace street,
near the city limits about 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, lightning striking
barn and causing it to burn, together
with ton of hay The iremen were
unable to save the property, which was
valued at about $50.

British Are Consolidating
Their Territory in the Ex-

ter-Attack by German Re-
serve Forces Within Short
Time
GERMANS FAILED
TO RECOUP LOSSES
At Some Places the British
Rush in Belgium Carried
Them Nearly Three Miles
French Soon Halted a
German Attack Near St.
Quentin

So far the Germans have reacted hesi.
tatingly before the tremendous rush
which the British have delivered in the
long-held German line in Belgium. Only
weak counter attacks were reported dur.
ing the night, according to the unofficial
account from the battlefield, and General
Haig's troops have held all the ground
they won, which reaches at points to a
depth of nearly three miles. The fruits
of the British drive are only indicated
in part by the report of more than 5000
German prisoners taken. Many more
Germans captured have been sent to the
rear, and there yet remain to be emu
merated many guns taken.
While the counter-attac so far deliv-
cred has not been in great force and has
been readily repulsed, the rush of Ger
man reserves into the thick of the fight.
ing cannot long be delayed and much flu
rious fighting is expected before the at
tack can be pressed further into German
held territory.
There has been renewed activity within
the past day or two on the French front
in the vicinity of st. Quentin and the
Germans apparently were preparing an
attack last night. The French guns,
however, broke up the effort in its in
cipiency.
