German Concentration Unprecedented

German concentration unprecedented.
London, April 23.-One of the cor
respondents at British headquarters in
France in dispatch says: THE car
dinal fact of the battle in France is
that the intense concentration of Ger
man troops exceeds anything known
during the war. That concentration
is being intensified, now that Field
Marshal Hindenburg's effort to avoid
a battle is known to have failed. The
German morale has fallen since the re-
duction in rations. There is great an
ger among the infantry against the
artillery

WAR is DEFENSIVE ONE ONLY
Russia TO Countenance No Annexation
Says Official.


London, April 25.-The Daily Ex-
press Petrograd correspondent contri-
butes an interview he has had with A..
F. Kerensky, minister of justice in the
new Russian government, whom he
calls the Lloyd George of Russia.
While insisting Russia would only
wage defensive war and counter
ancing no annexations, Mr.. Kerensky
emphasized the fact that greater en-.
thusiasm existed in Russia today than
ever before for defensive war. Even
the Lithunians, Poles, Little Russians
and Fins, who had no war zeal un.
der the autocratic regime, were now
prepared to defend their country to
the utmost, said the minister.

DISMAL PICTURE OF CONSEQUENCE OF
 WAR TO GERMANY
Fears That Great Britain Will
 Govern the World With U. s.
f4SSoeiqfsI Press)

AMSTERDAM. July 20.-A writer in the Junker organ Kreuz-Zeitung of Berlin draws a dismal picture of the consequences to Germany of a peace without increased power and annexat- ions. He says: Seeing that after the natural exhaustion of such a giant war, Germany could not soon contem- plate q fresh struggle, Great Britain and America would think. after a Scheideman peace. they could treat Germany as they liked. In other words an Anglo-American world domination would be firmly established and Ger many itself would be regarded as a second rate power. Great Britain there by in reality attaining it's war aim.
 Belief in unlimited military and maritime superiority by Britain and North America would henceforth dom- mate the world. But a reaction, thru an unsatisfactory peace, on our inter- Eal political life would be the worst result With the first joy at the end ing of the war the question would be earnestly asked-what have we really fought for. why have so many Germans fallen. so many been crippled, why these giant taxes, this ruined German welfare? The ground is then prepar- ed for disintegrating social democra- cy."

TOOK EXCEPTION TO WOMEN SERVING
 ON GRAND JURY
Associated PrcsSi

SACRAMENTO, Cal. July 20.-The unusual point that women should not be allowed to be members of grand jur- ies was urged here before the last ses- sion of the Third District Court of Ap- peals by attorneys for R. E. Lensen, convicted in Modoc county of violating the Wiley local option law. Lensen was convicted in the superior court following indictment by grand Jury on which were eight women. The con. tention of the defendants attorneys is that the case is without precedent and has no authority in law. So far as Is known it is the first time the point has been argued in this state, and the first instance of women on a grand jury. The case was taken under ad- visement.

MT Herbert C. Hoover has issued the following statement:
 The weapons in this war are fighting men munitions, food( ships, and f. nance. If we are to defend liberty in this year 1917 all these must be upon such a scale as will demand the ener- gies Of our people. In previous wars a small proportion of the community went 10 fight another small portion was devoted 10 their support, but the great bulk of the nation did business as usual"
 Autocracy has been for years organ izing its resources to the end that they nave placed l out of of it's popula- ton on the fighting line and have so mobiized the civil population as to afford them complete support. They have suppressed production of every luxury and reduced even every nee1 sity. Their errogant confidence that they will ome "mastsSs of the world" is upon 'th1{eief tha the materialism, the se1fs Ness, a44 the jealousy of thSnnid@ interef4 in democracy make it imHSSsible fqk to organize such enky.
