military nation and cannot become a military power soon enough to play any part in this war We proved that theory wrong as you will prove her 1 theories regarding the United States wrong.
 What was it that lead Germany into war with the United States? She found she could not win on land. It was necessary to try U-Boat warfare. This, said the German theorists, will defeat England and bring the reign of the entente to an end We do not be- lieye the United States will come in but, if she does, she is an unmilitary nation, has no army, cannot create one for many months, perhaps years, cer- tainly cannot become a military factor soon enough to play any part in this war
 First Year Of War.
 That reasoning sounds unbelievable to us but drowning man clutches at straw. We believe the German theo- rists will be proved as wrong in their estimates of the United States as they were in their estimates of England.
 You asked me what is the outlook at the opening of the fourth year of the war. First. let me give you in ep- itome the history of the first three years as I understand it.
 ''The first year, broadly speaking, was an attempt by Germany to put into effect elaborate plans which her military strategists had been prepar- ing over the space of many long years. The first phase was concentrated attack on France and Belgium during certain allotted period of time, in which the Germans estimated it would be Impossible for Russia to disturb them in the east.
 The attack on France was checked, first on the Marne. later on the Yser and at Ypres, although France and Belgium suffered severely in the pro cess.
 Germany then. according to her plan, took the defensive on the west ern front and turned her offensive ef- fort eastward in an effort to knockout Russia. Here again she failed, al though her attack enormously weak ened Russia's offensive power.
 Old Scheme Abandoned.
 "In the autumn of 1915. Germany, definitely abandoned her old pre-war strategic scheme and started in on new plan developed since the war be- san. namely, an effort to upbuild Mi tel-Europa' as great block composed of four so-called Central Powers which

cording to their own statement of the good behavior of the people.
 Mons was later fined 10000 marks because of a derailment,' This was all the explanation. The town council asked for further details. only to re- ceive written reply. stating that the derailment had occurred months be- fore at such a spot, which proved to be 100 yards over the Mons line in the town of Jemappes. Jemappes was fin ed an even amount. Mons protested that the derailment occurred outside Of the township and on the railroad, over which the German authorities, and not the commune, had jurisdic- tion. Nevertheless Mons had to pay 10000 marks and before sundown. Could anything be easier as . way of making money? Could anything be more contemptible in the justice of things.
 Tell America to watch its coal. particularly coal that is destined for steamers. Among the swag found on the Kaiser's courier, recently caught at Christiania, were highly explosive bombs that looked precisely like piec- ese of coal. One pound of amminol, the explosive used at Messines, would blow up the New York City hall. It may be seen what a few Jumps of explosive coal could do when once thrown into the fire of a steamer.
 One of the accomplices at Chris tiania said that these bombs, 95 large and 12 small ones, were especially des- tined for American steamers leaving Norway, and we have independent evi- dence that for year past there has been a highly organized system to de- feat inspection on these steamers. The stewardesses hide things in the mattresses and transfer articles from one state-room to another, as the in- spection proceeds. But the danger is not alone there. These eoalbombs can be tossed onto any coal car stand ing on siding in America. or even as the train passes. Bang. she goes, out in mid-ocean.

LONDON, July 2S.-The American Committee of Engineer in London, re- gently formed to help as it might in the prosecution of the war. has ap- pointed a subcommittee whose chief function it is to bring together ac- counts of such acts and words of the enemy as they think should be present ed to the American people Test we for get what a determined and ruthless enemy we are fighting" This sub committee is made up of men who have had exceptional opportunities to study the events of the war. many of them at first hand. In statement fur ther explaining the reasons for ap- pointing the subcommittee. the engi- neers' committee as whole says:
 Great care will be taken in as- sembling only reliable information, chiefly the words of the Germans themselves, in order that they may be condemned out of their own mouths. The committee believes that there are still many good people in America as in England who say to themselves, if not aloud: Are the Germans as bad as painted?' We hope that a weekly record of German doings and sayings will help answer that question and be reminder that such spirit, manner of reasoning and acting as the enemy manifests now no less than at the the beginning of the war must be met and overcome. if this world is to be a safe and fit place to live in."

ENTRY OF J. s. INTO WAR IS MOST
 IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT OF WORLD
 CONFLICT, SAYS MILITARY EXPERT

LONDON, July 2S.-Americas en- trance lnto the war is the most i'm portant development of the third year or the great connict in the opinion of MaJor General Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of Military Operations at the British war office, as expressed In an interview ill which he reviewed the main events of the third year and summed up the present situauon.
 Today, Major General Maurice said, Germany, whose whole military gospel was to prosecute a vigorous offensive, is reduced to a pitiful state of mill tary helplessness in which she is barely abe to hang on in the nope that her submarines will force the people of the entente powers to de- las the "blg pawns" with which to make a bargain.
 Speaking from a military point of view" said Major General Maurice, the greatest event Of the third year of the war is the fact that the Ameri- can people joined us. Up to the pres ent France and Russia always have been able 10 say to their people that developed to the fullest extent and that, when England's full weight was In the field. the pressure on the French and Russians would be some what lessened. That still is true, but only to a limited extent Even Eng land is getting near the point where she must say that she cannot extend her work much further in France. Meanwhile, the strain in the continent al countries is becoming greater and greater and the French are in real need of more and more support.
 German Reasoning Wrong.
 "Of course, the same. is true and probably in far greater measure in enemy quarters.
 But the whole lesson of the three years of warfare is to emphasize the military maxim that the man with the last reserves is going to win, and we still have got the whole power of the United States to draw upon. The United States is today the general re- serve of the entente. With that re- serve intact, we may look the fourth year in the face with entire conf | dence.
 Germany has made the same mis- take with regard to the United States, 1 as three years ago, she made with re- gard to England. She argued. we do not believe England will come in 1 but, if she does come in, she is not a 1

would command the road to the east. The autumn campaign of 1915 consist ed, in essence, of the furtherance of this scheme by conquering Serbia, bringing in Bulgaria and haulting our Dardanelles effort by rushing muni- tions. supplies and soldiers to the as- sistance of the Turks.
 By the winter of 1915, Germany had gone long way toward realiza- ton of her own ambition and this point represents to my mind the grand climateric of Germany's offensive pow CT. All this time Great Britain had been building up armies, and with the beginning of 1916, we for the first time, had a real army in the field.
 With the spring of 1916. Germany had come to realize that the conquest of Russia was impossible. Russia was too massive to kill or crush. So the German staff again turned on France and the Verdun attack was the re- suit.
 With. the defeat of Germany at Yer dun came a turning of the tide of which further manifestation was seen in a successful British offensive. Pre- vious British military efforts had been, comparatively speaking, minor opera tions or operations undertaken in sup port of the French. At the Somme we started our new work and really great,
 
 important work it was, although a great deal of the contemporary effect of the Verdun defeat and of the Som- me victory was neutralized by Ger many's push into Rumania, The Ru- manian push, however, viewed in true historical perspective was merely a fash in the pan. The German military power already was on the decline and the offensive strength was nothing like what it had been the year before.
 Germany In Pitiful State.
 "The end of 1916 found the situa- tion between the two great gro0ps of contestants about equally balanced but with the scales leaning slightly in fa- vor of the entente.
 ''The, year 1917 has presented still roiser picture. During the whole third year of the war Germany and her her allies have attempted nothing on land They everywhere have been on the defensive. The Turks. lost Bag dad and the Sinai peninsula. On Ger many's eastern frontier, although the Russian revolution enormously weak ened Russia's military power, Germany was incapable of taking advantage of the situation. On the Austrian front, the Italians got into powerful blows. In the west the British and French | struck repeatedly and the Germans have been powerless to answer back.
 This is the pitiful state to which | We have reduced the great power whose whole military gospel was sum- | med up in the phrase vigorous offen- ! sive' Germany's military helpless ness owing to the strain on her man. power, material and resources, is such that today she barely is able to hang
Bisbee daily review., 1917-07-29

on and her only hope is that she may find some way of similarly wearing us down and forcing us out of the war before we get up momentum to drive her back.
 At present Germany is banking on the U-boat. She hopes against hope that the U-boat. will reduce the people of the entente powers to the same state of want. privation and suffering which she has been enduring for months and years past. She hopes to make the entente peoples cry enough and start peace parleys while she still has got the big pawns with which to bargain at a peace confernence."

COURAGE AND CRUELTY.

It is one of the mean and morbid lies that physical courage is connected with cruelty. The Tolstoian and Kip lingite are nowhere more at one than in maintaining this. They have, be- lieve, some small sectarian quarrel with each other, the one saying that courage must be abandoned because it is connected with cruelty, and the other maintaining that cruelty is charming because it is a part of courage. But it is all, thank God, a lie. An energy and boldness of body may make a man stupid or reckless or dull or drunk or hungry, but it does not make him spiteful.-G. K. Ches- terton.

70 be to send home such as are too weak to work. Thus of 5S7 able-bod- jed men, slate-quarriers in the Belgian town of Ecaussians. deported to Ger many, 62 died there, and of the 210 repatriated, all in a lamentable con dition, 70 have since died. We are not in a position to check these figures, though they compare reasonably with figures from other places. But what we do know-and this is the true Ger manic touch-the Germans imposed a fine of $1,000 on this town, because they refused to hold their usual Bach elor Tea Party on Whit Monday, be- cause they refused in other words to celebrate their fellow-citizens' depor- tation into slavery and starvation, Events like these are to the Kaiser's taste, and are daily occurring.
 We have the absolute evidence of a neutral who was present of the fol lowing circumstances in southern Ser bia. A Serbian farmer shot an Aus tralian officer in the leg (not mean ing to kill him) because the officer re- fused to pay for food stuffs he had re- quisitioned from the farm, as he was bound to do. The ball struck an ar tery and the officer died. Thereupon the Austrian military authorities shot every tenth Serbian male in three sur rounding villages"
 The town of Mons. famous for the retreat, was fined s1OO,OOO the other day because a Belgian newspaper, pub lished in Holland, stated that the Duke of Bavaria was at Mons during a re- cent allied afraid. Mind you, there was no evidence that anyone from Mons had conveyed the information, but one of the Dukes generals was killed and the Germans were furious But this is rot the first time that Mons has been fined.
