An easy onav for it Is naturally the
enemy's chief concern to prevent such
q movement from being successfully
and easily accomplished.
Rapid concentrations are essential.
or else the all-important element OF
surprise Ia lost. and rapidity depends
largely upon the skillful use Of rail-
ways already over-burdened with the
normal demands of the troops in the
assault area. For this reason the
enemys long range fire. as well as a
considerable proportion OF his bomb
ing airplanes. are concentrated upon
the railroads In the back areas.
Under normal conditions. the ordi-
nary straight railway line is not par
ticularly vulnerable. Being SO mar
row 1t IL q difficult target to hit. The
curves Of q railroad are. however,
much more important. The destruc-
ton Of q section OF rail on curve
means more trouble than the destruc-
ton of half a dozen sections on the
straight.
Sidings, railway stations and places
where there is a network of rails, and
where there are points, functions and
other special types of rail, are even
more important than curves for dam
age done at vital center may com
pletely delay traffic for many hours.
Such rail centers behind the German
lines are subjected by the British to
a form of time bombardment' SO de-
vised that all repairs have to be car
ried out under the most .harassing
conditions. and not an hour passes
without shells or bombs bursting in
the affected area.
An important result of this concen-
tration against the rail centers is that
troops cannot be massed for an at
tack without undergoing a certain
amount of Misunderstanding experiences
first. There is no peace for them by
day or by night. Under these condi-
lions the troops are stale before the
attack is launched.

CITY CANDIDATES
ARE C0M|hG OUT

Although the election is a year off
yet, there have already been announce
ments of candidates for the commits
sionership to be filled at next years
election. The term Of Commissioner
Hinrich expires in June, and this is
the job sought by number. OF course
the present incumbent Is going to try
for the office again, and in the race,
accordin to a well-deflned rumor, may
be Felo McAllister, Harvey Bayless,
VIM. j. Forbes, Will Meyer and o. ].
Semmes. Mr.. McAllister has been in
dustrfously acquainting his numerous
friends with his candidacy in the re-
cent past, while the others have had
little to say. leaving that, for the pres
emit, In the hands Of their friends.
The fact stands out prominent, how
ever. that every candidate has in time
past, had one thing or other to do
with the city, except, perhaps, Mr. Nc
Allister. Mr.. Bayless was city coymp-
troller for many years; Mr.. Forbes,
councilman and member of q board OF
works; Mr.. Meyer was mayor pro
tenn and councilman; Judge Semmes
councilman, and served for months as
recorder. quitting theofflce.

controlled chiefly by airplane obser-
walton, IN enormous advantage lies
with the side which IL predominant in
the AIR. BY the superiority Of their
atrmen the allied armies are able to
sweep all roads and railways In the
enemy's rear with concentrated artil-
lory fire by day and night; whilst
large sQuadrons of bombing airplanes
keep the German rest areas and bill
let's perpetually under fire.
Thus the German soldiers are kept
In q state OF nervous tension, the cas-
ualties are heavy and the extra work
involved by the ever increasing dr.
ficulties leads to the concentration
being continuously delayed and hung
up. Divisions suffer and lose their
fighting value without ever being
launched against the enemy.
All these things together conspire
to make the German concentrations
difficult Of accomplishment and moro
and more dependent upon the weather
which alone can suspend the British
and French aerial activity and hamper
observation. Every days delay in
preventing a German concentration is
of the utmost value to the allies, who
can prepare and strengthen positions,
bring up re-inforcements. construct
roads and light railways and generally
make valuable use of the time thus
gained.
When the delay occurs between the
phases of a big battle it is even more
important; for experience goes to
show that an arrested offensive that
fails to attain it's objects is little bet
ter than a real defeat.

DAILY GERMAN LIE.
IS NAILED AGAIN.
(Jrom the Committee on RuAaae
Ynf0rrn n kf1nN

(Jrom the Committee On Yu1e1e
InfeTmation).
No. IL A group OF antt-Dnglish hes
IL reported from Boston. Mass. to the
effect that England has more soldiers
in Ireland than In France: that Eng
land has used colonial troops exclu-
sively; that England - using our
wheat to make whiskey and that Eng
land allows only IS words at . time to
come to this country by cable.
Observe the convincing exactness Of
the number So. Such careful details
are characteristic Of the pro-German
liar. He does It scientifically even
when he IL most absurd. The English
censorship puts no limit on the length
of cable messages to this country.
Tho English are not using our
wheat to make whiskey. For more
than . year past no whiskey whatever
has been distilled In Great Britain.
The production OF beer has been re-
duced to one-quartsr Of what 1t was
before the war and under recent or
ders from the food controller the al
reduced to per cent Non-intoxi-
eating beverages are allowed to con-
tain one per cent Of alcohol. No un-
matted barley is now In the hands Of
English brewers or masters. Their
whole stock Of unmalted grain was re-
questioned for breadstuffs last Febru-
airy.
OF all the men serving in the Brit
ish army and navy. outside of India,
Africa. ETC., 10 per cent have been
English and Welsh. per cent Scotch,
per cent Irish and 16 per cent Can
adam, Australian, etc. Among these
troops the casualties have been rs per
cent English and Welsh, 10 per cent
Scotch, per cent Irish and per
cent Canadian. Australians, etc. The
Englishman, therefore, has not only
done nearly three-quarters OF the
fighting for Great Britain but he has
done more than three-quarters Of the
dying.
The disposition OF the British forces
is a secret, but there have been $780,
900 of them in service since the war
began, and Of that number probably
half have been in France. II there
have been more than that in Ireland,
the British troops there have almost
equalled in number the entire popula-
ton of the island, counting men, wo-
men and children. This sounds like
rank flattery, from a German agent
to the we'll known fighting spirit of
the Irish people.
All such anti English stories are a
part of the campaign of the kaiserites
| in America to make us suspect our
British allies. There is not word
of truth in any Of them.
