THE PRESENT STATE OF THE WAR

Since the Germans started their great drive on the channel
ports last March they have taken about $4,000 prisoners of
contradicted. They also captured territory in proportion to the
q ,altIes they inflicted on their foes. We are gradually learn
ing how they did it.
They changed their tactics and thereby surprised the Eng
lsh.Frcnch. Portuguese and Belgian forces opposed to them.
They used poison gas in a new way by flooding their enemys
battle front and the territory for miles behind it with gas con-
tanned in shells which enabled them to advance and Vancouver
at will while the allied troops had to retreat to ground where
they could breathe.
This cost the allies a large part of their artillery because
the gas killed the horses and partially incapactated the men.
Gas masks are useless after their absorbent capacity is exhaust
ed, which happens in a few hours. The second surprise in bat
tie tactics was the establishment of machine-gun barrages which
held allied reserves in check quite as effectively as the old ar
tillery barrage. Having lost most of their guns, the allied
troops could not overcome the machine-gun barrage by heavier
gunfire. and the Germans were able to consolidate with little
trouble the positions they gained. They were also favored by
the weather which made airplane scouting difficult and inef-
fective.
1t is idle to deny or gloss over the generalship Of the Ger
man high command or the effectiveness of the first-line troops
that carried out these new tactics. To do such work the Huns
must have been well fed and able-bodied. We know what they
did and how they did it. Summer weather is less favorable for
such tactics and we are assured that the allied troops have
plenty of gas shells and machine guns with which to resist a
repetition of the tactics which carried the Huns to the Marine
and the gates of Amiens. Every day brings fresh American
troops into the field and those already engaged have given a
splendid account of themselves.
If the Huns cannot attain their detectives, Paris and the
channel ports, this summer they have little chance to win in
the west. Their initial gains fell short of these detectives and
the odds against them are growing heavier all the time. Our
war department is not undertaking the foe and will have four
million men under arms by the first of January, 1919. Every
West Pointer carries in the back of his head the lesson of the
first year of our Civil war, which would have ended quickly if
the federal government had called a million men to the colors
at the start. That mistake is not being made again, much to
the surprise of the kaiser, who counted on history repeating
itself-New York Commercial.

THE AGITATORS IN IRELAND

Our own guess is that it is a comparatively few men who
have fooled the bulk of the Irish into this infamous German
business. with which they have complicated the good name of
their island home. A few bold buccaneers have been doing a
tremendous business in the name of Ireland with the German
spies and corruptionists-an and probably getting lots of German
money in return for it. The writer was recently shown a letter,
written from Dublin in which the statements bear out these
views. In this letter it was stated that the Irish farmers have
never before been so prosperous, and most of them have been
enabled to own their own land through loans made to them
by the government at a low rate of interest. The farmers in
Ireland are far better off than those of England or Scotland,
and it is largely due to these special favOrs which they have
received from the government. Those farmers want to be let
alone-but the agitators won't do that. They live by agitating
and with them it is one thing after another-even to German
intrigue, which is most Infamous at a time when the liberties
and welfare of the world are at stake. These agtators, ac-
cOrding to the Dublin letter, go into the rural districts and in.
timidate the farmers. who, living isolated lives, do not know
what else to do than to acknowledge that they are Sim Feiners,
and the clergy also are said to be cowed by these political agl-
tators. many of whom are DULLES of the worst kind.
It must be that this explanation is materially correct, for
it is unbelievable that the bulk of the people of Ireland would
willingly exact such a part in the name of Germany, the Ger
many that has despoiled Belgium and France. melting out
treatment to women and children that no Irishman could ever
condone.

WHAT HEARsT SAID ABOUT THEM

The New York Tribune is now running back to the files of
the Hearst papers in New York in making its warfare on them.
The headlinesof a few months ago are very amusing. At
that time Hearst printed some like these: Secretary Baker
Should Resign for Decency's Sake" "Combatant Branch of the
Navy Is Inundated by Daniels" AS a Bryan Follower, Daniels
Should Retire" and this about Mr.. Burleson, the postmaster
general, who recently teegraphed his Fluctuations over the
change in the Chicago Herald when it went over to Hearst, was
printed quite frequently in the New York American:
It seems almost inconceivable that a convict slave
plantation owner should at the same time be a member
of the cabinet of the president of the United States.
OF course Mr.. Wilson knew that Mr.. Burleson was a
contract slave labor exploiter.
He knows it now. There were also many references to
the fact that on Burlesons slave and convict labor ranch a
negro was whipped to death with a blacksnake in the hands
of one of the overseers. The overseer, guilty of murder, was
acquitted. of course. and he has since been rewarded with a
postmastership in TeXas-BuresOn,. according to Hearst, was
so grateful.
And in such ways interesting political history is being
written out and spread broadcast, at least in New York City.
What The New York Tribune complains about most is that the
and Daniels have been congratulating Hearst and Brisbane the
latter are printing the most fulsome articles about the former.
The Tribune thinks there is some political deal on and some
scheme being Matched. But heaven save the country from the
day when Hearst and his pals become the dictators of govern
mental politics.
