PEACE AND THE MILITARY
SITUATION

Peace talk is hardly keeping pace
with the military situation, although
| they are doubtless closely harnessed
| together. Assuming that the Central
Empires not only had something to
do with the Vaticans peace propos-
| ais, but also had a hand in determin-
ing the time for the pronouncement,
it is easy to establish a relationship
between the latest peace move and
the more recent military activities
of the Teutons.
What have the Teuton forces been
dong during the past six months 9TH
er than defending their lines on all
fronts? Since the big retreat in
France, Germany has until recently
done nothing there but attempt to
make good the new positions. This
has kept her busy, so much so that
there is every reason to believe that
the Russian collapse in Galicia took
her by surprise. 1t was hopeful
surprise and the Kaiser himself hur-
ried to that front, grasping at the
last straw that promised to revive
Germany's military prospects.
There is reason to belive that Aus
tria is more than content with having
been able to reclaim Bukowina and
Galicia and is not inclined to strain
matters by pushing on into Russian
territory. The situation there is ad-
mirable from the Teutonic point of
view so far as territory is concerned.
The next thing to do was to annul,
so far as possible, any claims that
Rumania might make, based upon the
reclaiming of any part of her terri
tory. Mackensen has been sent to
attend to that.
On the western front Germany mas
been fighting defensive offensives.
The last French offensive left Petain
in possession of all the Aisne posi-
tions, from which vantage points the
next offensive may be expected to do
what the last failed to do, namely,
menace the Hindenburg lines around
Laon Hence the Crown Princes des-
perate, though futile, efforts there
The recent sudden thrust near the
sea war an effort to forestall the
present British drive in Flanders. Ev-
erywhere the Germans have failed
except in maintaining a semblance of
offensive power and in delaying the
inevitable advance of the Allies. This
advance is now again under way, and
is being pushed with that uniform
success that has characterized every
British and French effort in the last
twelve months. Much is expected of
the present fighting in Flanders, as
was indicated by Lloyd-Geofge when
he declined to speak of the military
situation because the time had not
come for useful review. He must
expect that time to come, and in the
not distant future. That, too, will
have a bearing on peace talk, and
doubtless will show why the Pope's 1
peace proposal was inopportune in
the Judgment of all the belligerents
except Germany and her allies.

that the 175O-foot level marks the
ton of a zone of enrichment superior
in value to any above this depth.
Wines we're started at two o.
three points from the 175O-foot
level, where good ore was exposed
but the heavy flow of water formed
an obstacle to sinking, in the abb
sence of pumping equipment. The
main water channels of the district
are found in the veins or assures
and for this reason, and in
to avoid having to deal with water
at all stages, the deep winze has
been sunk in the country rock or
latte, beginning at a point some
25 feet west of the foot-wall of the
main Atlanta vein.
Little water was encountered un-
til, at a depth of so feet. the Wine
penetrated the west vein, dipping
at a flat angle to the east. Water
has been coming in at a rate suffi-
cient to impede progress if bailing
were relied upon, but no serious in
terruption has been caused and
within a short time the temporary
pump will be replaced by n OF
capacity sufficient to meet all pos
sible requirements.
No attempt has been made lately
to produce ore for shipment. The
company made a number of ship
ments which yielded a good profit,
even when copper was selling at II
cents a pounds, but as the ore OF
this character usually is found with
large bodies of lower grade mater
ial, it has been deemed better policy
to leave this ore standing, in order
that it may be broken in large
quantity when facilities are provid-
ed for it's treatment here. In this
way a highly profitable average can
be counted upon, the high-grade ore
being used to sweeten the leaner
material. Already there is a large
tonnage of copper-gOld ore in sight
on and between the 400 and 1850
foot levels.
