Hint for the G.. o. P.

Having proved that thirteen husky po
liceman can get fat ona twenty-five cent
a.day diet, Mrs. McClarey, dietician OF
the New York Police Diet Squad, hurried
to Washington to ask President Wilson
to inaugurate a twenty-five cent a day
menu at the White House. Also she ask
ed the President to proclaim a twenty
FIVE cent day for the nation.
Probably the President will not be
much interested in twenty-five cent diets.
He and his fellow Democrats will linger
in the land flowing with milk and honey
for the next four years, and they have no
provocation to cut down their fare. But
the Republicans, who face four lean, very
lean years, might with propriety try the
twenty -fye-cent-a-day diet. 1t would be
good practice for them to try restricted
rations, for the next four years is going
to test the Republican capacity for en-
duranCe.

A Lively Tilt

The liveliest tilt which has occurred at
last week between State Fish and Game
Commissioner John w. TitcOmb, of Ign.
donville, and John n. Harvey, the Gov
errors executive clerk and reviser of the
state fish and game laws, at the hearing
before the senate and house revisiOnary
committees on the question as to whether
the present permissive form of game
laws as codified by Mr.. Titcomb and
passed by the 1912 legislature should re-
main in force or be superseded by the
prohibitOry form recommended by Hale
h. Darling, revision commissioner, in his
report on the revision of the public
statutes.
Nh. Harvey mentioned a letter of Mr..
Titcomb's written to Mr.. Darling in
which the state fish and game commits
sioner stated that the legislature was not
competent to pass on The merits of pro-
hibitory or peTmissive form of law and
the executive clerk added that Mr.. Tit
comb had called him a CRATER and told
Mr.. Darling that be must not be inHu-
euced by him tHarveyl, as be was a bad
man.
Mr.. Titcomb referred to the occasion
when Mr. Harvey father bad beed tried
and fined for catching short trout, and
Mr.. Harvey Telorted that his father had
never been indicted by "A Washington
county grand jury, as Mr.. Tilcomb had
been.

More Reform

A member of the Michigan legislature
has proposed in bill a much needed re.
form.
The prevalence of breach of promise
cases throughout the country and the ef-
forts of damsels scorned or mittened to
heal the decorations to their affections
through the machinery of the unromantic
courts greatly disturbs this Michigan
legislator. Hence he proposes that when
an enamored swain has proposed and
has been duly accepted, that the engaged
couple shall stop at the county clerk $
office on their way to the iewelry store
to buy the diamond, and shall then and
there enter an official record that they
are on their way to be one.
The official announcement of the inter
ton to wed signed by both parties would
be legal evidence in the event OF dispute
and failure of the swain to keep his
pighted word. This Is about all there
is to the bill except that, of course, a
small fee would be required when the Off
cial announcement is filed.
There appears to be much merit in this
suggestion from Michigan, 1t would end
all speculation among HeighbOrs about
Young persons who are keeping COM
Dauv:" It would add to the town rcTc-
nue. and would decrease taxes, and more
over il would give the newspapers and
sewing circles. as well as bridge parties,
material for personal discussion.

Drive and May Effect Transformation
of the Entire Character Of the War---VaSt
Country is Laid Waste to Rob Foe Of
Any Advantage.
MONTHS OF Toll SPENT IN
PERFECTING new DEFENSE LINE

country intervening between the old
German line and the new one has by
necessity of war and necessity OF the
new German plans been made wilder
ness. Roads have been destroyed; the
whole terrain has been made difficult
of passage. All means Of communica-
ton have been effaced Some villages
have utterly disappeared. Some have
been only partly wrecked. Not only
has a free zone Of FIRE been obtained
by such a procedure. but the enemy
must come forward slowly over ground
so hazardous of passage.
In their new positions the German
forces will face an enemy either hur-
riedly brought up over this difficult
wilderness and, because OF this hurry,
insufficlently supplied: or an enemy
which has come forward very slowly,
because OF necessity OF building up the
country.
In either event, the enemy will be
at a disadvantage. Months of toll by
million German soldiers have been
expended in perfecting the new Ger
man line. The German forces will be
entrenched in the strongest possible
defenses, protected by forests OF barb
ed wire entanglements. A free FIRE
zone in front will give them clear
view OF the enemy. Guns have been
carefully ranged over all this fore
field.
The enemy must come up; must dig
itself in; must arrange transport OF
millions of tons of ammunition, Of food
and Of supplies over the wilderness left
behind by the Germans in Their retreat.
The allies will face German forces pre-
pared for every contingency and pro
fected as an army was never protected
before by long preparations.
It has been impossible to carry out
this program of a retreat leaving behind
a wilderness, without severe hardship to
tn French civilian inhabitants. But the
move is demanded
All this change comes at the very
! point where Germany's enemies had
| planned new spring offensive-and an
! offensive backed This time with redoubled
power. The French and British had
planned to take the initiative from the
\ old positions, which they had perfected.
| The Germans withdrawal secures fol
! Germany the initiative for the fighting
while putting her enemies at disad
vantage because they will lack prepared
positions.
