Marshal Won Hindenburg, who
was-the brains of the German
army, is dead. His death is said
to have occurred after a stormy
interview with the Emperor.
The violent quarrel occurred
May 16. 1t was followed by an
apopletctic stroke which ultimate
ly terminated in.death. Hinden-
burg was the leader of the Ger
man forces, and it may be that
his death is the reason that the
promised drive on the Western
front has not been made. His
passing has certainly crippled
Germany in her efforts to win
the war.

1t is only a short time until
the primary. Candidates for
United States Senator and for
Congress are to be nominated,
and seemingly outside of the
Eleventh district, but little or no
interest is being manifested.
Mr.. Helm has no opposition in
this district, and the candidates
are not stirring, hence there will
be a light vote polled.

Conservation is necessary in
these war times, but what is
saved now will come in mighty
good next year. Therefore the
government ought to make a
ruling whereby.the farmers could
purchase a sufficient amount of
sugar to preserve their fruit.
Fruit that is not put up will go
to waste, and we are advised to
waste nothing that is edible.

himself there comes no word. His only official declaration since assuming the su- preme command was the laconic assurance that the Germans should not take Amiens. Well, the Hun is still looking at this famous and ancient city from the outside.
 But Foch did contribute brief article to a London weekly journal the other day in which he made some most significant slate ments about the conduct of the war. Our first axiom he wrote must be that, com pletely to achieve its object, battle must not be purely defensive. A little further on he says: But since there remains no doubt that decisive attack Is the very key stone of a battle, all other actions which make up a battle must be considered in the measure in which they will facilitate that attack and give 1t speed and force
 Then he writes of reserves and their inn portance. He calls them the prepared bludgeon' carefully prepared and instruct ed to execute the single act of battle from which only results are expected, namely the decisive attack.
 Reserves must be husbanded with the most extreme parsimony, concludes Gen. eral Foch in this article so that the bludg- con may be strong enough to make the blow as violent as possible. History and reason show us that in battle there IS a single argu- ment which is worth while, namely, decisive attack
 Well, the Washington dispatch assures us that America has furnished three-quarters of million of those precious reserves and, based on this showing, can be depended upon to furnish million more And can any one read General Foch's views on war and doubt that he will strike with all his might and main, risking country, life and reputation on final effort, when his genius selects the place and his great soul tells him that the hour Is at hand?

And now German junkers have pron7ul- gated peace terms that require the destruc- ton and perpetual repression of the British navy. How strange this German decree sounds to the student of history When Spain was at the zenith of her power only the British navy stood between the protest ant nations of England, Holland and Ger many and certain destruction. The British fleet beat the Spanish armada and thus saved Germany then the home of the Protestant faith, from becoming vassal of Catholic Spain. Napoleon conquered all of Ger many in a campaign that extended over less than a year and made his marshals rulers of all her old, proud, rich provinces. But he he could not beat the British fleet And during all the eighteen years of his domi- nance in Europe the English navy was the one hope and faith and stay of these con- quered nations It was only the English navy that made Waterloo possible and made Germany free And Germany grew and waxed strong for fifty years under the protection of that fleet Now, having be- come a giant, she would destroy that fleet for 1t stands in her way, even as 1t stood in the way of Spain and of Napoleon when Germany was about to be destroyed Yes, it sounds strange indeed to hear a German demand for the destruction of the English fleet. And if the men who laid the foun- dations for Germany greatness could be given to hear, through the mould of the grave, this same demand, how strange it would sound to them It would be as though America should seek to defile and then destroy the tomb and statues of Rochom- beau, the great French admiral whose ships made possible the taking of Yorktown The British navy stands today just as it stood that day of days when Queen Elizabeth and her court looked down from the cliffs of Dover and saw it destroy the power of Spain that had gone down to the sea in ships, as bulwark of protection of right from the power of unbridled might. And not while drop of fighting blood remains unspilled in England, France or these United States will the German decree of de- struction for this fleet stand And, by the way if Germany wills the removal of the English navies from the seas, why does she not send her great fleet out from Wilhemns haven and bring this thing to pass? There is nothing holding these German battle ships within their harbors and under the protection of their mines and shore bat teries but fear.
