to city folk the same opportunity to vote
wet or dry which residents of the rural
districts now have. Nevertheless, the pro
posal cannot be hailed as a long stride
toward making this dry state. Even II
the Legislature should pass the law 1t
would be a long, long time before any OF
the large cities OF the state developed
strength enough to carry them out OF the
license column. The no-license people will
have a right to think the Governors com
ment on the reduction Of revenue which
must result both for state and cities,
trife gratuitous.
With the Governors suggestions Tor
better prisons and greater use OF prison
labor in producing road and building ma
terial, for the appropriations to pay claims
against the state under the workmen
compensation act, and for the consolida-
ton of school laws, there must be agree
ment. The Legislature should lose little
time in handling these matters.
In deferrng to a later day discussion
Of legislative action to reduce the high
cost Of living, and action on the recent
report Of Commissioner Strong recon-
mending a reorganization Of the State
Board Of Charities, the Governor did well.
These subjects are complex. They will
lend themselves to consideration by the
lawmakers better when specific bills are
on the desks than when the Executive Is
delivering his views on abstruse questions
in a more or less academic fashion.

Odd Rumors in Europe

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: A friend Of mine just arrived from
Europe informs me Of several rumors current
in some parts, and would like to hear from
any of your readers possessing material which
corroborates the same.
It is said that two or three months ago the
PIussian diplomacy put before the Russian
government proposal for separate peace, in
which plan was suggested for reintroduction
II serfdom in the German, Austrian and Rus
sian empires as well as regeneration OF this
institution in Turkey and the Balkans, all Of
which countries were to be forged into a con-
federacy similar to that Of the secessionist
states prior to our Civil War. According to this
report, Petrograd considered the proposition
an unprecedented insult and did not even reply
20 IL. although the Prussians offered Russia
free access to the Persian Gulf. Tiszs. the
Hungarian Premier. is said to have favored
this plan so much that its failure is likely to
force his retirement
While this sounds quite plausible, do not
know to what extent TO believe the following
report, brought by friend OF mine a citizen
Of Alsace, The German government, having
brought about the destruction Of millions Of
is taxpaying subjects, means Pa" abolish
by legislation whatever moral i;' revent
the rapid repopulation Of the empire. such as
monogamy and the protection of women. !
vas told that the German government means
to subSidze all men marrying more than one
woman, in proportion TO the number Of wives.
/ cannot imagine such a course, but being
a citizen of a neutral country -Holland-it is
perhaps due to the fact that have not come
in sufficiently close contact with the war.

Bearing Up

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Please tell "An Anxious Woman" in
Saturdays Tribune, not to take too seriously
her "God given rights" when she gets them
in the near future. The women Of the great
West, fortunately, have blazed the way in no
uncertain manner, and made it easy for their
Eastern and Southern sisters to follow suit.
Only think of it! Over 100000 women
actually voting in the twelve suffrage states;
yes. and probably determining the choice OF a
President last November. Moreover they
have put the great West emphatically on the
map, so 70 speak. Westward the star Of en-
pre takes its way" WILLIAM F. AIKEN.

gressive tendencies. He is more in sym
patty with reaction than he is with prog
ress. He was for many years Little
Navy man. an anti-preparedness man. He
worked hand in hand with Mr.. Padgett
and Mr. Hay. He was as belated a convert
to military preparedness as President VIII
son was.
His leadership is obviously not repre-
sentative Of the spirit of the reorganized
Republican party. 1t would be a mistake
on the part Of the Republicans in the House
to try to elect him Speaker. The party
could much better afford to renounce the
Speakership than TO give it to MIR. Mann.

Saving the Helpless

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Any time is a good time to work to
stop the killing of our fellow men.
Lending the aid OF our great country to
try to save the thousands Of helpless men
who are being killed daily is a noble work.
All future generations will commend the
Presidents efforts to save them. In every
trench in Europe men will bless the Pres-
dent of the United States, and every father
and mother of boy and every wife and
child of soldier will bless him no matter
what the politicians say.
May he never be driven from his Efforts

The Mine Menace

Passengers from England bring thrill
ing tales Of German activity in British
waters and dwell especially on the extraor-
binary success of the mine sewers. Ac-
cording to one account "the mine planting
vas started two weeks ago." but this IS
obviously absurd, for mine laying has been
carried on more or less regularly ever since
the war began. Moreover, it was known
the year before last that the Germans had
type Of submarine vessel adapted to this
purpose, and last year one at least was
captured and afterward publicly exhibited
in London.
1t is possible, even probable, that the
number of such vessels has increased, but
for a long time past the mine has been
recognized as one Of the most deadly
perils about the British coasts. 1t is a
peril with which it is difficult to cope.
Thousands have been swept up, but the
mine layers of late seem 10 be at work in
cessantly. and when one crop has been
cleared off another ofteL appears. There
is a long coast to protect, and complete
immunity cannot be assured at all points.
The mine problem is one of the gravest
with which the new Board of Admiralty
will have TO deal. Constant use of sweep
ing vessels is essential, and it may be as
sumed that as many as possible are en-
ployed. It is apparent, however, that none
of the precautions hitherto devised is suf-

village. In the afternoon the Ger

Of the canal for a counter attack but
this was smashed by machine gun
and rife fire. 80

GERMANS FORCE
BRITISH OUT. =
Thursday morning the Irish were
holding most Of Moeuvres and the
east bank of the canal. In the after
noon the Germans delivered a sudden
counter attack from the north and
after hand-to-hand fighting through
the streets and among the houses
they forced the British to withdraw to
the southern outskirts. This morning
the Irish again surged forward against
the town and at an early hour had
worked their way around toward the
north.
In the Graincourt section on . the.
right Of the Irish. remarkable work
was done by cavalry on the first day.
The horsemen had swept forward and
captured Anneux by Tuesday evening"
This represented ar advance Of about
1000 yards, which is said to be a rec
ord for day.
! Anneux was found to have a sys-
tenn of catacombs under the church.
and these were held by the Germans,
who had an electric power station for
lighting. An elaborate battalion
headquarters fell into British hands.

During Tuesday night the Germans

which had just been brought from the
Russian front. A strong battle took
place and the British withdrew. We'd

tackled Anneux and re%captured it.
Proceeding northward the British
drove the enemy from the trenches
near the edge Of Bourbon wood. This
trench was so remarkably well camou-
tagged that no sign Of it vas visible
until the British saw German faces
apparently coming out of the ground.
A hand-to-hand battle began. Later
the British were forced to withdraw
slightly because Of heavy machine
gun fighting from Bourbon village.
Yesterday morning the British again
attacked the trench with the assist

HEAVY FIGHTING
NEAR BULLECOURT. i
There was heavy Ashting TO the
north in the region Of Bullecourt. The
tunnel trench. an underground forth
1cation Of great strength about 1000
yards long The entire trench was
mined a. the British we'll knew and
behind 1t the Germans. had dug, 1000
yards of support trench. Many cons
crete pill boxes also reinforced the
trench defenses., ;.
keeping the Gerr3ans nervous by put
ting down smoke barrages and em-
pioytng gas. The enemy had become
SO accustomed ito this that when the
British startad q furry Of gunfire at
dawn Tuesday the Germans thought 1t
was, mor of the same thing andSthey
were caught nnawares. The greatest
danger which the attackers faced was
the posslbiiity o. the mines h.tpE

By good fortune they mastered the

wires. aEi =
HOT FIGHT IN
BIG TUNNEL.
A hot fight took place in the tunnel.
Many Germans, battled with bayonets
to the death and 400 enemy bodies
were. counted after the conflict. In
addition more than 700 prisoners were
taken. f1
Further evidence Of the German
'unpreparedness for an offensive inGthe
Cambria sector was obtained today in
the capture~of an order drawn up by
Ia German battalion commander the
day before the attack. 1t was his
summary Of events for a week and he
drew this conclusion: ~
1.-The attitude of the enemy clearly
is n Of defensive"
This commander was stationed In
the forward area and it is quite ap-
parent he did not know what was GO
ing on. 1t is also evident tina the
higher command had no information.
The Germans have called upon
every possible source to get troops to
withstand the British attack. BY
raking many places in their line they
apparently were able in the first 4S
hours of fighting to bring in only two
new divisions and some five odd
Fbattalions. Today another division
was brought up from the Aisne front
and the 119th division from Flanders.
Owing to the British artillery work
there is little doubt that the Germans
will be forced. to abandon Cambria as
rail head for bringing up troops.
A later report from Bourbon wood,
Just as this dispatch is being filed said
that the British attack there was pro-
; crossing we'll.
