THREE MONTHS OF "OFFENSIVE"

Three months have passed since the Germans began their
march to the sea. Since the first week of the offensive, except
for a comparatively small section in Flanders, no progress mas
been made.
On the contrary, the repeated savage thrusts of the French
and English have forced back the German line at strategic
points, and, on the whole, the position of the kaiser's army is
not so favorable as it was when the great drive came to a halt
at the end of the first savage onslaught.
At the same time it was announced with characteristic
bombast that Germany was on the march. For the seven or
eight weeks that have interviewed since that march began the
Germans have stuck pretty close to camp.
The victorious army has been much less aggressive
than before the great offensive began. 1t is asserted that the
few attacks the Germans have made have been lacking In de-
termination and dash.
On the contrary, the allies and the Americans have been
getting steadily more determined in their attacks. They have
made deep dents in the line of the enemy. They have found
that the Germans have not established themselves nearly as
strongly as in their old positions.
One feature of the operations of the last few weeks has
been the steadily increasing strength of the artillery of the al
lies. Half a dozen German attacks which apparently were in
considerable force were broken up before they got started by
the big guns of the French and English.
It must not be supposed that the Germans have abandoned
their plan for further offensive operations. Their inaction, in
all probability, has been the result of their inability to reorgan-
ize their badly broken forces so that they would be justified in
renewing the attack on a large scale.
The condition of the prisoners taken in recent fighting
shows a much lower morale in the German army than at any
time since the war began. The shortage of food and poor
quality of much of the equipment are possibly responsible for
this decrease in the fighting power of the soldiers.
The situation is most encouraging. The U-boat menace is
steadily growing less. Aided by the rapidly rising tide of
American reinforcements reaching the battle line, the allies on
the west front have profited more by the long delay than have
the MISUNDERSTANDING.

REDUCED RATES FOR WAR ZONE SHIPPING

The best proof of the confidence which this country feels
as to the diminishing danger from submarines is given In the
action of the secretary of the treasury ordering that govern
ment war risk insurance rates be reduced to two per cent ON
the bulls and cargoes of American steamers travelling through
the war zone from American ports to British and french
Atlantic ports.
This significant order was issued on Wednesday Of last
week, and it was followed by a statement made next day by
Vice Admiral Sims, commanding the American naval forces In
the war zone, at a naval gathering in London to this effect:
1--WE know the submarine campaign reached its highest point
in April Of last year; it has since been steadily going down; in
the meantime the new tonnage constructed by the allies has
been gradually increasing until the corner has nearly been
turned"
A reduction in insurance rates from six and one-half per
cent, as of August, 1917, to two per cent as of May s, is pretty
conclusive evidence that, at least in the mind of Secretary Nc
Adoo, the corner has been quite turned, and safely, too

THE CALIFORNIA-NEvADA LINE

The California Nevada state line is one OF the most lag
rant anomalies i'm the state boundaries of the west, nearly all
of which have been drawn on parallels OF latitude or merlunahs
of longitude without regard to the natural contour or interests
of the country. And curiously enough 1t was ms particular
Interstate line that was cited by former Ambassador Bryce Ill
his book. The American Commonwealth" as an exception 10
the senseless rule that has been adopted in the western nall
of the United States in the drawing OF state boundaries.
Bryce said in the early editions of his great work that TINS
line conformed to the mountain range, which OF course IL
ought TO do. whereas in fact it cuts off a long narrow strip OF
territory that belongs by the LAY OF the land TO NEVADA ana
adds it TO California, from the rest of which 1T is separated by
y well nigh impossible barrier and with which it has and can
have practically nothing in common. If no other rectlhcaton
of boundary errors be made i'll all the west, at least tnls one
mistake should be undone by the transfer OF this region 10

RUSSIA'S DEGRADATION

Sebastopol has fallen into the hands of the Germans with
out firing a shot. S~ixtythree years ago it fell after a years
siege by the combined armies of England, France, Sardinia and
Turkey when it's Russian defenders had withdrawn in good
order. The story of that siege was one of the most glorious
chapters in the history of Russia. Now it is smeared by the
treachery of the Bolsheviki and the bad faith of the Huns. Pa
triotic Russians should welcome Intervention in Siberia so
that they may have a rallying point from which to fight for
the redemption of their country. Surely, the glorious mem
cries of the first siege of Sebastopol and it's disgraceful fall last
week must rouse a once great people to a realization of their
present degradation. They have a paper peace and a war Of
pilage and MISUNDERSTANDING.

PATRIOTIC

All the dollars in the world can not buy victory. Victory is
not purchasable = it is won. Dollars can work for victory
only in so far as they are converted into labor and materials.
"A dollar boarded is a Stacker; a dollar wasted is a traitor; a
dollar saved is a patriot, doubly SO when loaned to the govern
ment.
A boarded dollar represents idle power; a wasted dollar
represents wasted power; a dollar saved represents power
saved, labor saved, materials saved. Loaned to your govern
ment, it represents power, labor and materials in action, OH
the firing line. over the top. And more it represents re-
serve power, energy stored, purchasing power conserved for
its owner.

THE ECONOMY OF VICTORY

No matter what this war costs the government and the
pcs pie of The United States in the way of money, it is going to
be much cheaper to win this war than to lose it.
The commercial! and financial losses that would follow a
German victory are not to be calculated. All that we spent
would be- lost, indemnities beyond calculation would have to be
paid, and along with these losses would come a continuing loss
in foreigu commerce that would spell disaster.
Viii these material losses we would lose our national lib
erty end independence, our power to secure our international
rights. our right to live in a world ruled by the dictates of hui
manity and civilization.

Wireless dispatches from the Russian government received
in London describing atrocities committed by German soldiers,
state that "the most savage acts were perpetrated in Jewish
villages" Surely, Russian Jews in America will now support
the government of the United States in waging war against the
enemy of their race who is numbering and despoling their
brethren in their old homes. Uhlans are the aristocrats of the
German army. Their crack cavalrymen were the ones who
committed the outrages, such as fogging and then hanging an
old Jew in the presence of all the villagers. Will Israel KISS
the hand that smies in this fashion?

At Aixla-Chapelle the kaiser assured his people that
shortage of food had been relieved by the arrival at Berlin of
large quantities of grain from Ukrainia. Two days later his
food administrator cut down the Berlin bread ration twenty
five per cent. A week later the official Wolff bureau announc-
ed that this reduction was forced by failure to get grain from
Ukrainia. Was the kaiser deceived by his advisers, or did he
lie about the food supply? Perhaps the Germans will find out
