WAR MOVES

The purpose of the new AustrO-G German .lrve against the Italians is apparently not quite comprehended by military observers either in Europe or America. Despite Ger man declarations that the main objective of he offensive IS to hurl the Italians back from positions which it has taken them all summer win and to put the Italian armies out of reckoning as a cumulative force for several nonths, the foreign experts see in 1t nothing but an attempt to distract the attention of he allies from the western front.
 While it is barely possible that the com Aincd forces of Germany and Austria may Ee able to retake the positions lost to the 3talians by the Austrians during the summer llst ended, the nature of the country in which he battlefront lies is unfavorable for any ex- ended winter campaign, and the hardshlps Fhlch must be undergone i'll operations ot lCh a nature would retard any extended movement.
 The Austro-German offensive is made ossible by one of the most dlscourag ing bases of the war from an allied standpoint. lad it been made impossible for the Ger ans to have moved their forces from the ussian front, the Austrians would have been orally and physically unequal to any re ewal of action on the Italian front Only
 the Russian collapse is Germany now able

MAIL ROUTES
 MAY CHANGE

Mail routes to Alaska may staI. from Portland, Oregon. July 1, 1912 is the report received in Fairbank, yesterday The post office dcparl. ment has invited Portland interest to bid against Seattle for Alaska mail contracts covering a period O. four years. and the merchants O. Portland are already active n pro noting line of steamers to handle the contract
 Referring to the matter, the Port land Telegram says:
 Portland has been given an op- portunity to bid on the big Alaska mail carrying contracts. through the efforts of Postmaster Myers. Spec ficauons for the contracts were re ceived by Myers recently from Wash ington, wherein the routes, the mail schedules and bonds required are set forth. Copies will be sent those in terested
 Heretofore Seattle has had the exclusive privilege of bidding on these contracts because Alaska mails have at all times been forwarded from the Sound.
 Representations have been made. however, that Portland may be in pc stion to operate steamers betwect Portland and the north next July. when the new contracts become ef- fective The contracts run from July 1, 1918, to June 30. 1922. and in case a steamship line is placed in operation. the mails would go far to- ward meeting it's expenses. it is pointed out,
 Bids will be received at the post office department at Washington from now until 4:30 P. M, December 4 The DlOS Will De maQe on pound basis. Bids will be received for these routes:
 Portland to Ketchikan. Wrangell, Juneau, Skagway and other points. 1,25O miles and back, four times month.
 Portland to Nome, 2,S50 miles. and back. during navigation season.
 These are in turn subdivided and rearranged, giving bidders various combinations and side runs from dis tributing points in Alaska"

THE REAL FIGHT

Notwithstanding the aggressive war be ing waped on the German submarine by all sorts of allied craft, the real struggle for su- premacv today is probably between the Am erican farmer and the U-boats \ study of the figures obtainable from the last eight months operations and shipping from tmS country to England brings out this fact very forciby
 It is now little more than eight months since Germany began to wage unrestricted submarine warfare on the ships ot the world with the avowcd intention ot starving Eng land into submission. There is no definite con clusion to be reached as to the actual losses to shipping since that time. Reports put out from time to time are conflicting and incon- elusive. The number of British ships sunk, as officially announced by the English gov of the Germans The only thing left for us to do is to hazard a fairly accurate guess, based on shipping figures.
 The British have continued through the war, as in peace times, to publish regularly figures on I:ngland'S imports and exports, and their accuracy Is unprecedented For in stance, the statement for the month ot Au- gust shows that the total maritime tonnage for that month was twenty per cent greater than the corresponding month the year before,
 This does not necessarily mean, how ever that the amount of goods thus handled was twenty per cent greater. i'll fact, if any thing, it was probably a little less, since the increase in prices on all commodities would almost certainly account for the increase. However, the conclusion easily drawn from the records is that the submarines are not destroying the number of ships which they claim.
 England still has ships available for transportation of supplies necessary to iced herself It IS only necessary that the Am erican farmer raise the stuff with which to i'll these ships in order to defeat Germany s ldetestable campaign. It is not merely ques ton of growing sufficient food supplies to feed England, but a surplus must be pro Educed to cover the losses which must neces- ssarly accrue from the submarines The de lstrovers of the allies and America do sink numbers of submarines and convoy great numbers of merchantmen to their destinations fn safety, but not inConsiderable tonnage IS destroyed each week along with a great amount of supplies. The farmers of Canada and the United States have great respon- sibilitv to meet and will do we'll to heed the advice and admonitions of Food Controller Hoover when he asks for stimulated produC- tion.

German forces from Dvina to the Gulf of Riga section is still in progress. Whether these forces will go to the Italian front or be diverted to some other contemplated opera ton of the German general staff Is in doubt at present. and possibly will be for several days Owing to Russian dcmOralzation and consequent inaction, Germany is not endan gcring her present position in the east by weakening her forces.
 Not much news of encouragement comes from Russia these days While the dispatch cs received give only meagcr details, one gains the impression that things are in a bad way for the government there Russian leaders, it would seem, have yet to acquire the art of governing. The new Russias start was suspicious; one Ot the most spectacular po- lItical upheavalS of century, and accomplish ed with practically no serious disturbances. From the beginning the affairs of the new Russian nation have been in the hands of the great mass of people. thus making the revolution a thoroughly democratic one and as such its failure would be a world calamity
 Yet, unless there is radical change ill conditions as reported i'll nearly all Communi- cations received from there, its failure is only question of time. Recent German military moves prove beyond doubt that Russian military disorder is widespread. Railroads are nearly unserviceable, and plants of all kinds stand idle. Current rumors indicate that the country is near the brink of anar- chy The industrial life of the nation is dead With the greatest single organization in the country, the council of workmcn and soIdiers plotting against the government and | T, 11 rensky, Russia's strong man, and deputies openly admitting that they are planning civil war, Russia's future is dark.
 It is pleasant after reading so much of a dlsCouraging nature to hear such encourag ing reports from the western front. And after a this is the front upon which the final issue of the great war hangs. Notwith- standing Germanys great Russian successes, it is plain that she is no longer able to stand the battering drives of the allies in France While the territory taken by the allies is not nearly so great as that gained by the Teutons in Russia, the importance of their progress IS not so much estimated by the area of ground regained, but rather by the posi- tlOnS won. Week by week reports indicate that the allies are gradually wrestling com mandlng positions from the enemy, and are strengthening their own lines. In view of the many recent repulses of the Germans in France, there is not much doubt that their morale is greatly lessened.
 It is probable, however, that the recent gains of the Germans in Russia have length cned the duration of the war They must have greatly increased the strength of the German government at home More and more does the fact become patent that it will take all the resources of America, patiently and efficiently applied, to destroy the aims of Ger man autocraCy
