WESTERN RANGES
RAINS YOU'D STOP CURING OF
GRASS FOR WINTER FEED.

Chamberlain, Sept. 20.-John @.
Anderson, Of Chamberlain, one of the
men who are engaged in the raising
of cattle in large numbers In the Mis-
souri, river valley above Chamber
lain, when asked regarding winter
pasturage for cattle, said:
That all depends upon whether
we have continued dry weather and
whether there is heavy frost. There
must be dry weather and there must
be no heavy frost if the grass on the
pasture lands is to cure properly, so
that it will be good winter fodder.
THE heavy rains of the spring and
early summer months have left the
earth very wet and more rain before
the grass cures would make it sour
and unfit for fodder. And a heavy
frost following a heavy rain would
certainly cap the climax. Therefore
the men who have cattle to feed dur
ing the winter are hoping that the
fall rains and frosts will hold off un-
til the grass is cured.
There is not a large amount OF
hay in stack in the cattle country for
winter consumption, because the gov
eminent has required a large amount
of hay for the army and thousands
of tons of that commodity have been
shipped out OF this state.
And there are just as many cattle
in the grazing districts of the state as
there were last year, so that the de-
mand for fodder will be fully as
heavy as 1t was during the last cold
period. Therefore we r hoping
that there will be no heavy frost dur
ing the next few weeks, to the end
that the grass may cure in the right
way"

A MOTHERS VIEW
THE MATTER OF EXPENSIVE UNI
FORMS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
CADETS.

TO the Editor: Inasmuch as the
mothers are not included in the inyi-
tation to meet this evening to CON
slider suitable uniforms for the high
school cadets" l wish to take this
means of expressing my opinion on
the question and also. / am sure, the
opinion Of many mothers OF the high
school boys. We must all admit that
y boys would look nicer" but
there are many families in Madison
who cannot afford to pay s22 for a
uniform as has been recommended by
the military instructor. for the sake
Of personal appearance. The boys
can be taught to be neat and clean
and ready for inspection" with the
school clothes that have already been
planned and in many instances
bought new at the beginning of the
school year. I would suggest that
they all res khaki wool shirts or
waists to produce the appearance of
uniform dress IL that is what Is de-
sired. This would also give freedom
Of movement In drill work. 1t is
said that we will not be compelled to
buy the uniforms, but what will be
the feelings of the boys whose par
ents cannot afford the uniforms, no
matter at what price. when they see
other boys wearing them and they
without? Many of them will refuse
to 90 to school and IL compelled to
do so will 60 sullenly and the work
In the classroom will be sadly affect
ed BY the condition OF the mind.
Many parents will sacrifice the neces-
sary comforts OF life to shield their
boys from this unpleasant experience.
In these days OF conservation when
We are asked to save in every possible
way. I do NOT believe It is right to
spend money in this unnecessary way.
Then, too. for the sake of the poor
families Of Madison, and for the sake
Of the boys who cannot have the uni
forms, I wish to urge the fathers to
vote against military uniforms in the
Madison high school.

think the majority Of Allied military crit
les are Of the opinion that she could do
it at price. She has the interior lines
of communication. An attack upon Salon
lea would put the Allied transport system
to very great strain; it would compel
further shift of French and British troops
to the Near East, certain to be opposed
bitterly in both nations, and it would thus
weaken the Western front, which remains
also rely upon Bulgarian troops for the
main effort. For Bulgaria Salonica is the
prize that has been sought ever since Bull
garia began to have great aspirations.
A Macedonian Victory
Germany would supply the guns, the
generalship, a few chosen troops, perhaps
no more than those Below is leading in
Northern Italy Certain Austrian units
might be added, now that Austria has
been saved from immediate anxieties
Such All attack would be directed against
very strange Allied army, made up Of
Italians, Serbs, Greeks, Russians, British,
French and contingents drawn from Brit
sh and French colonies These forces
hold a wide front, with comparatively few
good lines of communication behind them,
and the people Of the districts they occupy
are in part hostile, as is a considerable
element in all of Greece.
Now, conceive what would be the effect
Of sudden and successful push early in
the spring which carried the Germans
close to Salonica, if it did not Immediately
win the town. At the outset of new
campaign the Allies would suffer moral
defeat They would have promptly to de-
eide whether to send troops from the West
to the Near East at a moment when the
German blow in the West would still seem
to be hanging over their heads. For, what
ever happens, the Germans are going to
have the men and the guns to attack in
the West if they choose, without regard
to any Macedonian effort. In fact, if the
Allies should decide to send men and guns
from the West to Salonica, in addition to
the armies which will have to be main
tanned in Northern Italy, the Germans
might decide. rightly or wrongly, that the

situation in the West, thus modified, war
ranted the launching of real offensive
which should aim at decision
In word, German offensive against
Salonica which would have real chance
Of success would, at the opening Of the
fighting season of 1918, upset all the
Allied plans and precipitate real crisis,
the crisis incident to making the decision
whether to continue to spend men and guns
and transport, the most precious element
of all, upon Macedonian sideshow. If
the decision was against such dissipation
Greece might fall and the German don,i-
nation of the Balkans would be complete,
the Kaiser would reestablish his brother
in-law and confront the world with the
accomplished fact
Now, as to Asia. Just as an attack upon
Salonica would, in the main, be made by
dad and Jerusalem would be chiefly the
work of Turkish troops, German led, re-
inforced by few German divisions and
munitioned and gunned by the Germans.
1t would cost the Germans little in life
and failure would have no disastrous
effects at home. And the same is equally
true of the Salonica enterprise; if it sue
ceeded, the British would have to face the
problem of making new sacrifices in the
West and withdrawing new divisions or of
accepting the loss Of Mesopotamia and
giving all their attention to the defence
of Egypt. Egypt and India would, in a
sense, be imperilled, and both have value
in the British mind wholly unappreciated
by any other nation save the German.

with the corps sent under Plumer to Italy,
ended in bitter disappointment and
dashing of all British hopes.
AS the New Year opens the Germans
are able to put on the Western front sub
stantially as many troops as the British
and the French. / do not think that even
Austrian aid will give the Germans any
decisive advantage in the matter of pum-
bers. They are able to concentrate in the
West most Of the guns hitherto used
against the Russians, all those captured
from the Italians, and it is not impossible
that some of the Russian artillery will
presently find it's way to the German lines
in the West. In this situation any Allied
offensive on a large scale becomes, if not
impossible, altogether unlikely.
To attack now would mean for the Allies
huge losses, with relatively small possibil-
ity of a supreme success. 1t would risk
exhaustion without commensurate promise
of victory. On the other hand, to wait, to
accept the defensive, is to enable the
United States to bring up its forces, Of
which no large portion can be effective in
1918, but perhaps million will be ready
to take part in the campaign of 1919.
Hence the Allies, since the submarine war
fare does not threaten them with famine
or defeat in the next sixteen months, are
bound to accept the defensive and let Ger
many risk exhaustion by the attack
Where Will She Strike?
Now, as the situation stands to-day,
Germany has the men and the material for
an attack But she cannot wait. No great
new ally is getting ready behind her guns,
as we are preparing behind the French
and British armies. Her prospects next
year will certainly be worse than they are
now. But far and away beyond the mill
tary are the economic questions Every
month the war continues the world is be-
coming insersibly but Enthusiastically or
ganized industrially, economically, tinan-
cially against the German; the hostility to
Germany is spreading and the task of re-
gaining the old markets and establishing
the old commercial relations is becoming
more difficult. Thus, if, Germany has the
opportunity to strike, she has also the me-
cessity Of making prompt efforts to close

the war, which is no longer merely prob

the war, which is no longer merely prob
lem of military factors.
But where will she strike? This is the
question which is filling the press of the
world to-day. Will she strike in Asia
Minor to regain Bagdad and Jerusalem,
restore her dream of a Berlin Byzantium-
Bagdad railway, regain her old sally-port
against British Egypt and the Suez Canal
which Turkish Palestine supplied? Will
she attack the heterogeneous force now
defending Salonica and Offering the sole
European obstacle to the completion of
Mitteleuropa, walling off this vast leu
tonic creation from tho 4Egean and from
the natural outlet of the Central Empire
at the south?
Western Offensive Unlikely
Or will the Germans make ono more
colossal effort in the West? They failed
at the Marine, they failed at the Yser and
about Ypres, they failed at Verdun; and
in these three attempts they had all the
advantages that numbers, preparation,
munitions could give them. Can they

rifce, recognizing that if they try and
fail they will come to the end Of the year
facing victorious foes who are assured
Of great strategic reserve in the follow
ing campaign, when the United States is
at last ready?
The Germans have announced their
forthcoming attack is to be made in the
West. They have heralded it with brass
bands and a blare Of trumpets; but their
attack upon Verdun upon Russia in April,
1915, upon Italy a few weeks ago, all
these were surprises so far as German
publicity was concerned. If Germany
contemplated an attack in the West,
would she talk about it, giving her foes
due warning, the chance to make the last
preparation and search their own fronts
yet once more for some weak point?
1t seems to me, and this is the conclu-
sion find in most of the European jour
mails, that German offensive in the West
is unlikely 1t is by no means inconceiva-
blc it may come; it will come if the Ger
mans are actually in possession of infor-
nation, naturally lacking in our own case.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-01-06

which would lead them to believe that
breaking down in morale, as were the 1tal-
ian before the recent disaster; but, accept
ing the possibility, it remains plain that
the great weight Of chance is against such
a venture.
A Western offensive can come, it seems
mean economic, not military-is so dcs-
peratc that the Germans feel that they
must risk everything on one more bid for
quick decision. In that case they will
attack in the West, because nowhere else
can decision be had. A complete victory
Italy to make separate peace, would not
be decisive so far as Britain, France and
the United States are concerned. Much
less would complete success at Salonica
or about Bagdad win the war, or even
compel peace on terms which would leave
Germany any substantial profit for her
great sacrifices in men and treasure. Vic
tory in the war, if it is to come on the
field of battle, must come somewhere be-
tween the North Sea and Switzerland, and
if Germany feels that she must risk all on
one more bid for a decision under condi-
tons far less advantageous than on the
other occasions she will attack in the
West and we shall see the greatest con-
f1ict of the war unfold within the next two
or three months.
Minor Goal Probable
On the other hand, if Germany hopes
simply to last the war out, if she hopes to
win it as Frederick the Great won his most
terrible struggle, by wearing out his foes,
as Louis XIV saved his territory in the
War of the Spanish Succession, she is
most likely to seek to break the nerve of
her opponents by aiming at victories in
indecisive fields, which, despite the fact
that they are minor, will impress the
world and because of local circumstances
can be won with a minimum Of cost to
herself Such an operation was the at
tack upon Rumania year ago. The re-
cent Italian affair is an equally good illus
tration Of this strategy
! If Germany desires to take Salonica,
