FIGHTING TT THROUGH
(New York WOrld)

(New York World)
 This war on the German side, has been series of deliberate operations based panstaking miscal culatons and in that respect Hindenburgs spring oi fensve follows the established policy of the German General Staff.
 At the outset everything based upon the com pete preparedness of the German forces France was to be overrun months the veteran troops were then to be thrown back upon Russia and victorious peace dictated before Christmas.
 Germany lost, but eighteen months later the Gen eral Staff again gambling upon it's ability to take Verdun and break the backbone of French re sistance At least half million men were sacrificed in the miscarriage of undertaking. but the losses brought change in the mind and of Prussian autOcracy.
 Last year the General Staff, after long delibera tion, decided to place it's reliance in the U-boat risk ing the United States entrance into the war in the confident expectation that with ruthless submarine within six months, and that the conflict could be before the financial economic military of the United States could be mobilized in France
 Again the Germans lost, and now the General Staff is investing everything in Hndenburgs spring offensive Advertised and exploited like patent med cine, that was to be the great victory tonic of German people It is fails. what next? And fail fl will in the broader matter what territorial gains made, unless the General Staff has
 Whatever losses the British and French have suf fered in the smashing attacks that by the German forces there have already been enor nous moral compositions For thing. the air is again cleared and German militarsm is vealed in all it's hdeous aspects. All pretense has been stripped away, and the Germany that to day is seen to be the Germany that threw down the gauntlet civilization in 1914 It is more appar ent than that this auocracy will yield to nothing except superior force there will be no peace until Prussianism is beaten by the might of arms.
 Nothing will be gained by negotiation or by com promise. Nothing can be expected of the German peo pe themselves until the military prestige which Prussiansm rests is destroyed. It may take year or two years, or five years, but if there is ever peace that is better than truce, the Allies make up their minds to fight the thing through what it may.

Our able, ameabe and patriotic friend the Seattle PosInteigencer, is not quite fair in its attacks on the Administration and the National Democratic party for attempting to defeat Congressman Lenroot for Senator in Wisconsin, At the time the Adminstra ton declared for Davies the Democratic nominee it announced that there would be Democratic cand
 dates to oppose Senator Kenyon in Iowa and Senator Nelson in Minnesota. The opposition to Representa- tive Lenroot was due to the circumstance that was very slow in coming to the support of the war and then came only after great deal had occurred to cause people to give the credit to political expedency Representative Lenroot is bitter partisan and one Of a little bunch of Congressman who lie with claws but half concealed as they await chance to catch the majority party "in hole" where they might in safety bounce upon it. His support of the Admnis- traitor and the has not been of that character that is being given ungrudgingly and without reservation by his neighbors Senators Nelson and Kenyon both Republicans. and the latter often talked of as probable candidate of the Republicans for the Presidency There have already been as sured that they will be supported for by Democratic party Wisconsin is much pro- nounced Republican State than either Iowa Mime sota and the German voting strength in it is much greater If the Democrats had been strongly partisan in the matter and actuated solely by desire to gain another partisan Senator they would have made their fight Lenroot and guaranteed election to Kenyon and Nelson. Particularly emphasizing the situation is the fact that there was so much uncer tainy in the Minnesota predcament that Senator Nel son, rather than face campaign for reelection at his advanced age, had announced that he would not be candidate again but would retire from public life at the end of his present term. He is now practically assured election without effort his part

THE CASE OF JEAN VALJEAN

In their efforts to prevent disaster to their scheme to capture the Democratic party for their own use through Gov. Strong and few of those who are on the public payroll through his favor the Wickersham ites have used the story of Jean Vatican. They are appealing to the humane sentiment of pity and the commendable disposition of Americans to give a man another chance. and applying it to the publica ton of the facts that prove Gov Strong is not a citizen of the United States.
 That there is parallel between the cases of Jean Valjean and Gov. Strong. that the praise worthy traits of character which all of us to make hero of Hugo's great creation. is not appli cable to the point in issue is apparent to any one who gives the facts moments consideration.
