portion of officers, captured; out of
500 men there were POI officers. Now
during the offensives of 1915 the allies
only took 20S officers out of 1900
men. We have here an undeniable
proof of the diminishing value of the
German army and of the waste in the
officers ranks.
Allies in Far Better Case.
To the data given above it is easy
to make the following objection: II
Germany has suffered losses which
seriously compromise her reserves, is
it not the same or even worse with
the allies2
First Of all, it is not worse. The
allied front is not so vast, and it has
been proved, moreover, that in their
method of fighting the Germans use
more men, either because their gen.
eral staff processes certain contempt
for what it calls ''human material"
Qet US not forget the hecatOmbs of
the User, of Verdun and the Somme)
or because they persist in the eff
cheney of-attacks in massed formation.
But then these tactics seem to be nee
essary, because the German soldier,
taken individually, does not possess
the qualities of 'go'' and initiative
which distinguish the French, as their
morale is not always good and also
because the best units have depreciat-
ed little by little since they selected
from their ranks the elite elements of
the famous "shock troops (stosstrup
pen).
And meanwhile time is passing. Be-
sides her interior problems, which are
becoming daily more aggravated, Ger
many has to solve real crisis in the
wearing. out of her military strength.
'Mitteleuropa" is not, whatever one
may say of it, fairy country which
escapes the laws of natural equilib-
rum single glance at the map shows
that her reservoir of men must mathe-
matica1ly-even with equal lOsses-be
dried up more quickly than that of the
allies, which is being continually re-
filed from all the corners Of the globe.
The Oriental fronts may momentar-
lily bend, but in any event they con-
sumo thousands of men, and the mo-
ment will come when the famous "Gen-

United States Counted On.
And all this time, the United States,
with invincible determination and
methods, is preparing fresh armies
whose military qualities, organization,
training and equipment will before
long be the admiration Of the whole
world.
Normal opinion cannot therefore but
logically concur in the opinion recent
ly expressed by Judge e. H. Gary,
president of the United States Steel
corporation, in the press: I'm any
event it is only a question Of time be-
fore the allies must be successful"
Time is working for US. From 1914
to 1917 France has built up, from the
User to the Marne, before Verdun,
Nancy and Belfort, the wall in the
shelter of which they have set to work.
The important point is that the wall
holds; it held it's own before formid-
able Germany when it was still but
weak protection; before a Germany
growing weaker every day it is holding.
It will hold until the moment when the
concentration of the allied and Amer1-
can forces brings about the supreme
| offensive.

Killings Made in Short Sea Trip Worth
$4,000.
Six sperm whales in two days hunt
ing, a killing valued at $4,000, was
the luck which the hunters of the Bay
CITY station in Lower Gray's Harbor,
Wash, had recently.
The sperm whale, highly priced for
the supply of high grade oil which 1t
produces, is the most valuable of the
five species of whale taken off this
coast.
Now that oils are high in price an
average sperm is worth about $500.
In a normal catch of 800 whales per
season at Gray's Harbor plant only
from six to ten are sperm. A catch
of six sperms in two days breaks all
records.

FLAG SHORT ON STARS

Criticised Until 1t Was Discovered to
Be Civil War Relic.
''Why don't you get a flag that is
made right?'' asked a friend of L. 5.
Chase of Minneapolis. There are
only 35 stars in the one that is flying
over your house"
'"That f1agis fifty-six years old" MIR.
Chase answered. ''It contains but 30
stars for the reason that there were
only 35 states in the Union when the
flag was made In 1861. That flag also
saw service In the Civil war. 1t was
owned by my brother, o. F. Chase, a
lieutenant in the Union army.
The friend doffed his hat in rever-
ence to the flag and moved on.

OUR STEEL-CLAD ARMADA ALERT

| Since Lyman H. Howe's Travel Fes-

seems hardly necessary to emphasize

local legion of admiring patrons when
Mr. Howe will present his new pro-

alert and aligned for any possible

1t opens up for every spectator new
visions and conceptions of the might

activities that characterize the life of
the fleet keyed up for instant action.
Part of this series also shows how
the 'middies" at the U. S. Naval

developed as navigators, artillerists,
engineers, ETC., to qualify them as
commanders of the fleet.
