Along the Aisne

Our hope of a favorable ending of the present German offensive which has gone on with marvellous rapidity since last Monday rests General Foch's army of maneuver. Just what that is is not well understood. It first heard of in the latter days March and it supposed that it contributed to the hatng of the enemy before Amens and later, in Flanders. It is supposed 10 be a large mobile force either of reserves or of units which be quickly detached from the line at any point and hurried to another where it is sorey needed.
 That it has long delayed coming to the aid of the British and French along the Asne front probably because of the uncertainty of General Foch as to whether that was the real point of attack; whether or not it the German plan again to attack Amiens drive through to the channel ports from enemy positions in Flanders.
 This uncertainty forms the basis for some grumb ling in London at the failure of the allied command with it's reported mastery of the air. better to divine German intentions than the success of the Aisne operations shows has been done. It is recalled that while almost daily airmen reported great concen- trations of troops in Flanders and Picardy there reports of preparations for the southwestern drive which in four days has been carried from twenty to thirty-five miles.
 Allied reported three days ago to be taking their places this front Since then it would have been possible to oppose much larger
 
 doubt as to the real German objective. It may be Paris. It may be merely to cut the Chalons road and so cut the allied communications with that part of the battle front lying south and east to Switzerland Or it may be only gigantic mask for a renewal of operations in the north.
 Here is a perplexity which be solved in of two ways, by the slow and forced retirement of the allies by counter thrust of such force to divert German designs from any other point along the whole battle front That would bring quick decision.
 To layman it would seem advantageous to the allies to take the initiative away from the Germans So long they hold it. with their shorter line, chord of great circle they always oppose superior force to the allies and bring about such suits as those of March 21-2S and the present
 There must in any event be a slowing down of the present movement whose force must lessen with distance. If the Germans are allowed to hold their present positions it will be only matter of days until they shall have gathered themselves again for another push point along the line to the detrment of allied communications.

regulation since the monthly ration of wheat flour has been prescribed. The memorial aims chiefly at the relief who already in possession of substitute, cornmeal That matter has lately been remeded for it palpably unfair to compel any to purchase something he did not need
 The Republicans argument in favor of the change that the wheat ration system would be unhampered by provision requiring substitutes that waste of substitutes would be prevented. Many persons have bought substitutes when they did not need them and did not afterward make a good of them Here a waste of many which purchasers could ill., afford to say nothing of the waste of food

GREATER NEED FUR
 WHEAT THAN EVER
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The na ton was warned again today by the food administration that there must be no relaxing in the rigorous conserya- tion of wheat if the necessary ship ments are to be made to the American fighters overseas and the allied peo- pies.
 Every prospect of the wheat situa- tion, both present and future" said the warning, 'intensifies the need for the greatest possible limitation in the American consumption of wheat and wheat products. If present restric- tons should be in the slightest degree relaxed, it would result in serious want Tor the peoples of Europe before the new crop can reach the market.
 The food Administrations estimate of the position on June l indicated a total available supply until the new harvest of about 56,000O0O bushels. Of this. 30,000,000 bushels must be ex- ported before new wheat is available for export if we are to maintain the absolutely necessary shipments to our army and the allies. That leaves about 26.OOO.000 bushels for domestic con- sumption for the next two months Normal American consumption is something over 40,000,000 bushels a month. so that the most liberal con- sumption at home would be only one third of normal

MANOAMUS CASE
 .|S HARD FOUGHT

The mandamus action brought by w. B. Lount and Mrs. Hattie Mosher to compel the Phoenix Street Railway company to re-establish the operation of cars on North First street, was heard before Judge Lyman yesterday, the matter having been continued from several weeks ago, when the first tes timony was taken. All the evidence had not been submitted when court adjourned last evening, but it was un- derstood that the case will be finished by noon today.
 Scores of witnesses for the plaintiffs since the beginning of the case have testified that they have suffered losses since the cars discontinued service on North First street. They claim that rents have decreased and that property values have Appreciated.
 After the plaintiff rested. H. NJ. Fen nemore for the defense made a motion for a non-suit, which was denied. MT. Fennemore contended that the testi- mony did not support the petition, and on the further ground that the ten dency of the courts today was to sus- pend all unnecessary extension work. He cited the recent Oklahoma supreme court decision suspendingthe order of the Oklahoma commission requiring such work to be done until after the war.
 MT. Fennemore held that if the rail- road company were compelled to lay it's tracks and begin operation on First street. i've would defeat the object we were trying to accomplish He de- clared that as a war measure the com pany should not be compelled to re- sume the line, which would call for a great expenditure of funds and the use of iron, lumber, etc.
 "The government has curtailed the use of iron" he said, as he called the courts attention to the common sense issues" that arose in the case.
 The improvement in business condi- tions was testified to by witnesses for the defense, who told of the new build ings that had been erected on North First street since the discontinuance of the car service. Increases in rents were cited in contradiction to previous witnesses for the plaintiff. It was held that the loop line, which was inaugu- rated when the old Brill line was dis continued, rendered far greater public service than the old routing. S. H. Mitchell. manager of the rail way company, was on the stand when court adjourned. Mitchell testified as | to the cost of relaying the tracks and | declared that the company could not afford to reopen the route

Starting next Tuesday, Miss Imogene Neely, county demonstration agent, as- sisted by Miss Grace Tufts, teachers of home economies at the Phoenix high school; and Miss Gunelle Pederson, teacher of home economies at Tempe, will give demonstrations in canning and drying of fruit and vegetables throughout Maricopa county.
 Miss Neely said yesterday each in- structor would have with her a sample home drying plant, from which those attending the demonstrations could copy the design. She says the dryer is so simple any bright boy or other l person can make one.
 The fruit season is now on and the canning and drying of fruits and vege- tables is considered not only a war measure but one of essential economy this year because of the over crowded condition of the railroads, making it ] difficult to get fresh fruit to market 1 Miss Nicely yesterday completed schedules for her and assistants, GOV. ering the entire county.

Why, these boys outgrow clothes fast that it's really quite serious problem high staff officer in of the big draft army camps told me the other day. But don't you forget it. we're glad enough to give them new uniforms. Why say, they outgrow their shoes. their leggings, their breeches their blouses-everything, guess except their Red Cross garments. and that stuff stretches.

A Traitorious Movement

A railway strike now would amount to an nsur- recton against the government and the government would probably treat the strikers rebels and deal with them the British government dealt with the Sim FIen after the Sir Roger Basement outbreak. No more effective service could be rendered Germany in America than to tie up the transportation service wholly or in part, large small. Any man who would propose such strike is either a traitor a fool something of both We cannot but believe that a proposal for such strike is of German nstigation.
 It is one thing to discommode the public by strike against private corporation and another, 10 strike against the government The owner of the railroads could not be adversely affected by the strike They of their returns from the gov ernment whether locomotive wheel turns or not They are concerned for the time being with neither Inc expenses the earnings of their roads The gov ernment alone would be the object of coercion.
 Even in time of peace. if the government were control the roads is now. it would probably not permit strike. Certainly it would not if so resolute character the late President Cleveland were directing affairs.
 When Mr. Cleveland was elected the first time impossible had seemed the election of any democrat to the presidency that the army of republican federal clerks and attaches now believed that the end of all things at hand. That before the days of civil service. Practically all appontees were publicans.
 A movement was started among the railway Issal clerks to embarrass the incoming administra tion. It involved the resignation of all of them the resignations to take effect the following March 4.
 How far this movement spread in the service is uncertain, but the clerks given to understand that the understanding eliminating in these resgna- uons would be regarded as conspiracy against the government and would be treated such

THE SILENT ARMY

No bugle is blown roll of drums, No sound of an army marching; No banners high, no batte-cry Comes from the worn fields where they lie The blue sky overarching. The call sounds clearer than bugle call From the silent, dreamless army "No towards we, when heard the call. For freedom grudged not to give our all" Is the call from the silent army Flushed and quiet and still they lie, This silent. dreamless army. While living comrades spring to their sde And the bugle call and the battle-cry Is heard as dreamer and dreamless lie Under the of the arching sky, The men who have heard from the men who have died The call of the silent army.

BOTH HELPLESS AND

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

TOXIC, Thursday, May 23-On his arrival here Signor Decuadra, Italian consul at Harbin, said the Russians in Siberia were helpless and hope less and that the only way of saving the country is by intervention. He said there is great danger if this does not occur as everything is in chaos. In the consuls opinion. a Japanese or allied army of 100000 men could restore law and order as far west as Irkutsk. but should have consider able reserves in view of the possibility of a German army cooperating with the bolsheviki.
 Signor Decuadra said that it is true that the bolsheviki have armed Ger man and Austrian prisoners. Gen eral Semenoff captured fifty Aus trians in a recent battle and remarked jokingly.

HEIGHT OF SOUNDS
Scientific American.)

In one of his journals, Camille Flammarion gives the heights at which sounds from the earth are heard from balloons. The shout of a man was heard distinctly at the height of 1900 feet, the sharp note of a mole cricket at 2.50O feet, and the croaking of frogs in a morass at 5000 feet. At 3.255 feet a mans voice and the rolling of a cart were dis tinguished at 4.550 feet the roll of a drum and the music of an orchestra: at 5000 feet the growing of a cock, the sound of a church bell, and some times the shouting of men and wom- en. Nine hundred feet higher still he heard the report of d muslSet and the barking of a dog. The noise of a railway train penetrated to a height of S.200 feet ,and the whistle of a locomotive engine to nearly 10000 feet.

 REMARKABLY LOW

The normal flow from the reservoir yesterday was the lowest it has been in three years. according to figures furnished by the Water Users as- sociation yesterday. The flow in miners inches was 15,O00, as com pared to 55,S40 the same day last year.
 It is expected that the usual spring rains will aid somewhat in checking the draw upon the reservoir, but ac- cording to engineers estimates fur nished by the Water Users, it may be necessary to curtail water allot- ments to ranchers during the sum- mer, possibly starting the middle of August.
