THE Commoner has been twice

The eounter-blow of Allies against
the Germans on the west front has not
yet been launched. The official war
review issued by the war department
indicates this, in summing up the situa.
tion on the Amiens sector. The review
says that French, British and American
reserves are pouring into the Allied
lines covering Amiens, to help check the
Germans and be ready for the counter.
The review notices 4 substantial i'm
provemeut in the strategic positions Of
the Allies in Picardy. No mention is
made that the Americans are to join
the forces under FOch' = direction. The
German plan has been upset, says the
review, by the stubbornness with which
the defense met the German attacks,
which proved tremendously costly in
men and ammunition.
Information received here from Am
erican and other officers say that in
the last four days the Germans have
used up 25 DIVISIONS in their vain eff,
forts to break Sths FtsneA line and
reach the railroad south ofRAmiens and
the French have checked every attack,

Reports of the landing Of Japanese

tok, following the killing of a Japan
ese officer and the woundiug of several
other Japanese, promise to cause the
state department considerable concern.
Assuming as correct the story of
lawless conditions in Vladivostok, the
consular reports of Japanese killed,
supplemented by evidence that the
Bolshevih are either powerless or un-
willing to punish the guilty persons,
and afford protection to foreigners,
officials here believe that the United
States can not withhold full approval
of the action of the Japanese and
British.
The American consul at Vladivostok
has reported the landing Of British
naval forces following similar action
by the Japanese. Additional advices
say that fifty British sailors were
landed to guard the British consulate.
The Japanese landing force has been
increased to $50 men.
