Mr.. Baker Says.
GENERAL WAR REVIEW
vi


Reports heralding an imposing Ger
man offensive on the western front
are attributed to bold enemy advertis-
ing" by. Secretary Baker in his weekly
review Of the military situation pub
lished today
THE German higher command is ap-
parently very eager to have us be-
lieye he is about to win great VIC
tory" says the statement, but no
element in the military situation
should lead us to conclude that the in
itiative in the west has passed from
the allies to the enemy"
Reports of massed hostile concen-
trations in those sectors were the
French front and roll back the allied
line on a broad scale are numerous.
Peace by Victory, German Aim.
The German higher command seeks
peace through victory. The enemy is
apparently very eager to have us be-
lieve that he is about to win such
victory.
For the last two years the Germans
have been on the defensive in the west.
The bold advertising of an imposing Of
fensive on the part of the enemy.
which is in the realm of possibility and
therefore should not be neglected or
overlooked. must in no wise be III
terpreted to mean that the increased
strength of the hostile forces will re-
suit in any permanent strategic ad-
vantage to the Germans.
Surveying the Outlines of the gen.
eral war strategy on all fronts, We find
that both belligerents have been on
the offensive during the past six
months.
General Review of Activities.
THE central powers have taken the
Initiative in the eastern and Italians
theaters. but allies along the major
front in the west, in Palestine. Meso-
potamia and East Africa.
THE enemy has confined his efforts
to advancing his lines along the Rus
sian front, resulting in the capture of
Riga. and then by well conducted Of
fensive in Italy. with the assistance of
an intensive political drive gained a
marked strategic success in this sector
The allies, in the principal theater
of operations the west have been able
to record an almost uninterrupted
series of tactical advantages. and in
spite of the concentration of pre-
ponderant majority of the most effl-
cient German divisions have gained
considerable terrain and taken a large
quota. of prisoners.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Retarded by hot weather and rains,
autoists and pedestrians. all work on
the roads OF the county under con-
structlon has been suspended County
Engineer Wilson stated today. First
the hot weather knocked out the men
and horses. two OF the latter dying
from the heat. Then the rains soaked
the concrete base so thoroughly that
no top dressing could be laid.
But the chief complaint OF the
county engineer is against the auto
lists who Insist on using the Concord
pike. on which the tapping is being
laid. Before the rains came the auto
lists used the pike and threw dust all
over the new topping. When the
rains came the autolsts splashed mud
over the topping. County Engineer
Wilson today said that It begins TO
look like pure meanness on the part
OF some autoists. especially in view
OF the fact that he has requested them

Mint and Rue.

In the eleventh chapter of st. Luke,
verse ~ it states: "Woe unto you,
Pharisees! for We 1.-THE mint and rue,
and all manner of herbs" Mint is
mentioned no other place in the Bible.
In this day and age, or at least in this
country, both mint and rue have run
wild until in some places they are a
menace to better plants. Both seek
only damp soils yet both are quite re-
'sistant to drought as the root system
still lives long after tops are de-
stroyed and will put forth again and
again. It is evident that in olden
times these plants were of great eco
nomic Importance in both culinary and
medicinal departments. Today, while
mint is widely used, largely in manu-
facture of perfumes, the use of rue
has practically ceased.
