This showed a remarkable degree of

Germany.
Italy was not whole heartedly on
either side then, and she is not today.
Germany, through her ablest secret
agents is sowing discord wherever
the seeds will take root, and she is
not even neglecting the French and
British armies in the field.
A dozen petty irritations have sprung
up and are being furthered by German
agents and spies. Even the love af-
fairs of soldiers are being made capital
Of 1t is a trait frequently met with
in women that they see more romance

French soldiers bullet had missed the
rider and struck tho horse. You can
take that for what 1t Ia worth.
1t is cause for irritation on the part
Of the French that Great Britain claims
so great a share in the famous Marine
campaign.
The Russian revolution may over
throw the plans Of Germany so far as
Russia is concerned, for that new gov
ernment will have plenty to keep it
busy with internal policies without
looking to China, and. as Great Britain
practically established the new re-
gime, the most cordial relations will
exist.
But Germany still counts on Mexico
and Japan. This I know through the
channels that have kept open. Ger
man submarine bases have been estab-
lished in Mexico, and German reserv-
lists are training and organizing other
Germans--and Mexicans--in the repub-
lie to the south. Germany may be mis-
taken in counting on Japan and Mexico
against the United States but as l ex-
planned, once Germany Is involved in
war with America and cannot desert
her allies, they may hesitate no longer.

 The debate closed with a speech by Senator Stone defending his position. He said the resolution before the sen ate was not introduced by the presi- dent and that the president could take care of himself, adding: K T fiatter myself that he holds me in higher esteem than some of the truck lers who come and bow and say What do you wish?'"
 Senator Stone concluded by saying he would be glad to accept Senator Smiths substitute. The substitute was adopted without record vote.

The withdrawal of the German fore

 Again the British have further push

 mont. where over front of mile and half the British advanced an average distance of GOO yards. Little Opposition From Germans, That the Germans in their retreat during the past month have offered
 little opposition seems evident from the British communication. which says
 that during that period 2,133 Germans were made prisoner.
 In the Somme region the Germans, after heavy bombardment, launched
 raiding attacks against British l trenches at Ablaincourt and Ran court and at each place succeeded in penetrating the British trenches. They later were expedde1, according to Lon don. Berlin records the repulse of a strong British attack east of Souchez, while Paris reports a successful sur prise attack on a German trench in the region of Tahune.
 On Other Fronts. On none of the other fronts has any battle of great proportions been in progress. Russian counter-attacks
 against the Austro- Hungarian forces who captured positions in the Jacob eni?Kimpolung sector near the Ru Rumanian -Bukowina border, resulted in the recapture of several of the po- sitions, according to Petrograd. At tacks north of the Jacobeni- -Kimpolung road failed.

 IS RESOLVED FROM BLAME
For Charges of Undue Action in
 Charge of German interests.

Washington, March 1.-Secretary Lansing, after a talk today with Dr. Paul Ritter, Swiss minister, absolved the minister of all blame for certain charges of undue German propaganda in his position in charge of German interests. The secretary said:
 T consider Dr. Ritter's conduct per fectly proper and regret very much the attacks made on him in the papers. It is a wrong impression of the feel ing here. We ought not to have aEy feeling against a man doing his duty faithfully even if he is caring for the interests of a government with which we have severed relations"
 Dr. Ritter had been accused in cer- tain newspapers of having exceeded his authority-as minister entrusted with carrying on the negotiations be- tween this country and Germany and of having made use of his position to further the German cause.
