Germany on Defensive.
The year 1917 has presented still

third year Of the war Germany and her
allies everywhere have been on the de-
fensive. The Turks lost Bagdad and
the Sinai peninsula. On Germany's
eastern frontier. although the Russian
revolution enormously weakened Rus

capable Of taking advantage of the sit

Italians got in two powerful blows. In
the west the British and French struck
repeatedly and the Germans have been
powerless to answer back.

such that today she barely is able to

that it will reduce the people of the

Elmendorf Lecture-Spain.

Dwight Elmendorf began his 1917
season of lectures at the National The
ater yesterday afternoon before a large
and interested audience. He took his
hearers on a trip through Spain. be-
ginning with San Sebastian and termi-
mating with Grenada and the Alhambra.
Interspersed with his stationary pic
lures were half a dozen motion pictures
depicting Spanish scenes and customs.
Mr.. Elmendorf has the faculty of de-
tecting what is essentially typical and
worth while in the life Of a people. He
picks out the best in art and archt-
lecture and always has the artists eye
for the beautiful in nature. Withal he
pays due heed to the industrial achieve
ments Of man. Among the motion pic
lures shown yesterday were scenes. at
tending a royal reception. fitting in
boats, part of bulIfight. showing ar
rival Of the handsomely dressed throngs
and a view of the crowded tiers Of
spectators: collecting customs at the
entrance Of a city and the dancing of a
couple of gypsy children. The views
Of the Alhambra were adequate and the
closing scene, portraying the sunset
clothing the ancient tower. was one of
unusual beauty.

THINKS Tacoma SINKING
MAY Be CASUS BELu
Hamburg Paper Inclined to Believe
President Will Delay Long Before
Declaring War, However.

| COPENHAGEN, via London, March q
The possibility that the sinking of the
| Cunard line steamer Laconia would fur
nish casus belli for the United States
| was dealt with in the leading editorial
of the Hamburg Nachrichten of last We'd
nesday. which written before the
! definite announcement that the lives of
| at least two Americans had been lost in
| the disaster.
The newspape was inclined to believe
| that President Wilson would hesitate long
| before launching declaration of war
against Germany on this or any other
account. pointing out that American lives
| have been repeatedly sacrificed since the
| new year. the last case being that of
| Robert Allen Haden, an American mis-
| sionary. drowned in the Mediterranean
| when the steamer Athos sunk, with
| out President Wilson having carried out
| the announcements made in his pre-
ViouS notes.
| The writer of the editorial. however.
sees the possibility that President Wilson
| may respond with declaration of war;
| saying that he has committed himself too
| deeply to withdraw. He also looks for
tion in the United States, but says Ger
, manys decision to conduct her submarine
| warfare to a bitter and successful end
! cannot be changed thereby.
| Rejoices Over Ships Destruction
The Nachrichten, which long has been
one of the most enthusiastic advocates
: of ruthless submarine warfare. rejoices
at the sinking of such a fine ship as the
| Laconia. which. it says, cannot be easily
replaced. 1t says it must be great salts
faction for submarine commanders and
crews of the underwater boats that they
| now are finally permitted to attack such
| steamers. which frequently. on earlier oc-
casions. have been spared. though within
easy torpedo range. Individual submarine
| commanders. according to the Nachrich-
| ten have often reported since the de-
struction OF the Lusitana that they have
| allowed dozens of ships to pass. includ-
! Ing the biggest of the ocean liners.

Leaves Car and Strikes Pastor.

No transfer was given the passenger.
and when the transfer station was
reached. DR.. Wilfley told the conductor
of his identity, and informed him he
had made plea for the conductors
during the strike, nearly year ago.
Il think you have made a mistake, -
he concluded
DR.. Whitley said he was on the bottom
step of the car when he finished his re-
mark. and declared that, without any
justification whatever. the conductor
struck him a blow with his fist and
staggered him. While he was trying
to gain his equilibrium and at the same
time save his case of films from being
damaged. he stated, a second and third
blow followed.
Fearing additional personal harm at
the hands of the conductor. DR.. Whitley
dropped his belongings and started on
the defensive. The conductor, however
returned to his car and the trouble end
ed. The pastor said he regretted the
publicity of the affair, although, he
stated. he was subjected to great in
dignity, which was utterly unprovoked.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
The Red Cross Appeal

To the Editor of The e-Herald:
 Two views of the Red Cross parade giv- en by The Age-Herald Friday morning, June 22, 1917. viewing more than 20O0 wom- en and girls marching four abreast in Red Cross uniform along the downtown streets would inspire any true American. It was the grandest sight I ever saw. Doubtless every reader of The Age-Herald has already read about the one ship with supplies for the sick and wounded of the European battlefield. Many surgeons and nurses have been sent abroad. They call for help and money and. to keep the work of relief going much money is needed.
 During our war with Spain thousands of dollars were sent by the Red Cross society to the American Red Cross to aid in the cure of the sick and wounded. Now in time of their supreme need the American Red Cross. both for the sake of humanity and to express our gratitude for their aid to us in the time of trouble and distress has sent doctors and nurses and hospital supplies. The American Red Cross most earnestly appeals to all peo- ples, to the governors of states, mayors
 of cities, to chambers of commerce and
 boards of trade. and greatest of all, the contributor is left to donate as he or she sees proper. The Red Cross represents the motto, neutral humanity.
