The New York Mayoralty.

Tammany has gone to the bench for
its mayoralty candidate. 1t was labor
ing under the difficulties the republicans
of the country encountered last year in
the matter of a presidential candidate.
Factionism had put some Of its leaders
associable with the mayoralty at a dis
advantage. Hence the necessity of a
nomination not tarred with the faction
stick.
Whether Judge Hylan will ill the bill
is question. His service on the bench
has been satisfactory, and his personal
standing is high. But as Tammany's
man in the campaign he will be subject
to the charge that, if elected, he will be
Tammany's man in Office; and the
charge will be no light handicap.
Tammany, it is true, accepted the can
didate from the democratic fusion COM
mittee and business mems league, both
Of which had previously acted. Never
theless, Judge Hylan is the candidate
under whose leadership Tammany ex-
poets to return to power in the big town.
while Mr.. Mitchell win be the candidate
pledged, if reelected, to keep Tammany
out Of power.
There is curiosity as to the course Of
the national administration. and some
expectation that it win take . hand.

The Flanders Campaign.

About two weeks ago the British and
French began general offensive in Bel
GUM, evidently designed to drive the
Teutonic lines back SO as eventually to
compel retirement from along the coast.
They made certain gain during the
first day of the fighting and then a great
storm broke over Flanders and opera
tions had to be suspended. Several days
elapsed before the skies cleared, and
then the ground was soaked and rem
dered impracticable Of passage by
troops. Thus the offensive lost its mo.
mentum, which is definite factor in
the success Of such movement. The
Germans, whose trenches had been fat
tened by the furious fire Of the allied
guns. had time to reconstruct their lines.
Now fresh advance has occurred, on
q scale indicative Of q resumption of
the general plan to drive a deep salient
into the German lines between Ypres
and the sea, a salient that, if thrust ia,
enough, will menace the entire German
coast position and put it between fires
from land and sea. Satisfactory prog.
ress is reported from the first days op-
crstions. Save ct one point the British

The District Quota at Admiral.

Concentration of the Districts quota
Of troops under the selective draft at
Camp Meade win be most satisfactory to
M the home folks. The latter can visit
their husbands, sons, fathers and friends
without much difficulty. If the local
troops were sent to Petersburg or
G1eenville or Admission they would be
out Of reach. These men will be in
camp for weeks, perhaps for four or five
months, and it is desirable that they
bAouH be kept in touch with their homes
until the time comes for them to 20
bver the sea to their grim work of war.
~ Camp Meade they will be able, on
bceasion, to return for short visits.
which will not interfere with their SOL
diering and training. The hardship of
separation from home will be softened
thereby. This decision is in keeping
with the general purpose of the govern
ment to make the military duty which
the citizens are required to perform as
little of burden as possible. 1t will
be hard enough before it is finished.
Moreover, the nearness to home Of the
local contingent will enable those who
are dear to them to see them in their
earb and equipment as troops. The
Transformation effected by khaki and
= Tow weeks of drill Will gladden. the
hearts Of those left behind.

objeetives. The fighting continues.
Much now depends upon tho weather.
f it remains fair the drive win doubt
less 60 on, yielding gain Of half mile
or . mile here and there, with con-
slant @bag" Of prisoners and material,
and with intermittent German counter
attacks.
There Is no delusion now about the
likelihood Of an actual penetration Of
the German line. There is, indeed, no
cline" in the sense Of single stretch
Of troops. Every mile Of the west front
is series Of tapping and supporting
trenches, with artillery in the rear.
There arc usually three distinct series
of trench lines or systems. The Ger
man defensive policy is to hold to each
as long as possible, and meanwhile to
construct new systems Of intrenchment
in the rear. Probably half of the avail
able force at the front is working, at
such a time as the present, on new con-
structions behind the line Of the fight.
Hindenburg doubtless realizes that he
cannot himself advance, but is deter
mined to make the allied advance slow
and costly. Yet he must occasionally
counter attack, to regain, if possible, po-
sitions Of strategic importance.
The importance of the present often
siye ia that II il piyino the Germans M
rest. It is actually menacing their sea-
coast positions, the loss of which would
seriously, perhaps fatally, affect their
submarine work and check their air
plane raids. It is, moreover, a demon
stration that the British and French
can, virtually whenever they wish, gain
ground at a price not as dear as that
paid by the Germans in defense.

a man and oficial by the President, and
by several Of the Presidents intimate
advisers. Tammany, on tho other hand,
Is much disesteemed in the same guar
tiers. It received no recognition during
Mr.. Wilson's first term, and Is not likely
to receive any during the second.
Still, there are administration demo
Gratis in New York, moro than one in
federal Office, who favor Tammany in
this race, and will work for Judge
Hylan. They want straight party
fight, and they rate Mayor Mitchell as a
republican, notwithstanding his ante
cedents and his affiliations before he
was elected to his present place.
If successful at the polls, Mayor
Mitchell will owe his reelection to his
record in Office, which has been praised
by great numbers Of democrats, repub-
leans and Independents, who consider
that under his guidance the affairs of
the town have prospered, and that par
tisanship, where it has no proper place,
has been reduced to a minimum. He
has not escaped criticism, but has met
it openly, and disposed of the most of
it. He has no walkover; but his quail
ties as racer have been well tested,
and when extending himself under a
hard drive for the wire he is capital
performer.

Treason.

Treason is afoot in the land. Agita-
tors of strikes are at work in the west,
and even in the east, seeking to check
the governments war preparations, to
destroy its materials, to lessen its speed
in making an army, even to reduce the
food supply. These men call them
selves Industrial Workers of the World.
They are practically German agents.
Perhaps they are actually in the pay
Of Germany. Certainly they are doing
work for that government which is worth
big money to Berlin, and if they are
not getting paid for it they are playing
Germany's game for nothing.
Federal officials have been ordered to
institute proceedings against these men
who are leading the agitation for strikes
and destructive reactions. They are to
be hailed to court and made to answer
for their ofense against the common
veal. They are doing reasonable work
and they deserve the penalty meted out
to traitors.
A large number Of the followers Of
these men are aliens, most Of them, it
is to be noted, nationals Of one Of the
allied powers. They are being stirred
to strife and destruction by means Of
appeals and arguments and lies printed
in newspapers in their own languages.
Under the very eyes Of the most patri-
otto and loyal citizens these fragrant
publications are appearing, not compre-
hended by the multitude, but read with
malevolent avidity by the misguided few
who have been carried out Of balance
by the mischievous talk Of the agitators.
In these foreign language papers the
word revolution" continually appears.
This I. W. w. stands for an overturn
of the American government. Apart
from obstruction to the war work, these
publications are reasonable. They
should be suppressed. The barring of
these and other seditious publications
from the mails will not answer the pur-
pose. The evil should be cut off at the
root. No paper that breaches revolu-
ton, reviles the government and praises
the enemy, whether printed in English
or foreign language, should be per-
mitted to appear.

Vote on the Peace Resolution!

Just as soon as the decks in the Sen
hte are clear Of the revenue measure place
should be given on the calendar Of bust
mess to the pending so-called peace reso-
luton. It should be opened for debate
and opportunity should be given to
every senator who desires to talk on it
to express his views fully. It should
then be brought to a vote.
Suppressive measures will not serve
the purpose Of the government at this
stage, which is to demonstrate to the
world that the United States is in truth
united on the prosecution of the war
to . conclusion. If advocates of the
pending peace proposal want to talk
they should have chance to do so, and
then they should be lined up and count
ed 50 that the world will know just how
many, or how few, there are in the
upper house Of Congress who hold for
IN immediate negotiation for peace.
The paciists in the Senate are making
. good deal Of noise and arousing much
criticism. The Senate itself is beyond
question devoted to the war policy. Only
moro handful Of men are talking
pacifsm, and for each of these there is
some political motive. One, for instance,
Il soon to enter primaries in his state
for reelection. Another is said to be
aiming even higher, at a presidential
nomination by the Hdiscontented."
Bring the matter to a vote, as soon
~ possible. Line up the pacifsts in the
Senate and make them declare them
selves There should be no executive
session for the blowing OF Of steam.
Everything should be done in the open.

Who want the war stopped before, as
mn ~ We are concerned, it has actually
begun, and who want us to ask Germany
what terms she win make to suspend
hostihties, that fact should be proclaim
ed broadcast, and as far as possible the
motives and purposes Of each Of these
men should be made clear. It is far
better to have public discussion and
expoEition Of the whole matter than to
seek by suppression or secrecy to con-
eeal the fact that in the Senate Of the
United States very small group of
men, unrepresentative Of the body of
the people, are acting virtually in the
German interest.
