LONDON, June 26.-King George and
Queen Mary tasted American buckwheat
cakes for the first time yesterday at the
Eagle Hut of the American Y. NJ. c. A.
The visit was surprise one, made at
the kings own suggestion.
Late in the afternoon the secretary
at the Eagle Hut received a telephone
call The official at the other end Of the
line said in a matter of fact tone:
1.-THE king and queen desire to call at
the Eagle Hut and will be there in a
few minutes"
The secretary at first thought some
body was trying to play Joke on him,
but when he became convinced that the
king and queen were really coming he
stammered something about wanting
time for preparation.
Didn't Want Preparations.
The official explained that the visit
was to be purely informal and the king
would prefer that no preparations be
made, as he wanted to see the hut under
ordinary working conditions. So no
preparations of any kind were made.
The king and queen soon afterward
drove up and stepped into the big en-
trance hall, which was crowded with
American. Canadian and British SOL
diers and sailors, some eating and others
playing billiards or writing letters.
The king explained to the secretary
that he had heard SO much about the

IM0GENE'S ACTIVITIES

EDITORIAL NOTES.

With immigration the lowest since the Civil war it is easy to explain the shortage in the labor market.
 IF as is claimed the Germans have lost hope, every effort must be made 10 keep them from regaining it.
 Prisoners grow in Keeping with the villages, and war material which the allies are taking in the Picardy re- zion.
 Of course the imperial German gov ernment isn't holding itself to blame for the serious illness of the em- press.
 Now that people are being urged 10 eat gray fish. it can be expected that the blues and blacks will get jealous.
 The man on the corner says: Hand ling certain matters without gloves is 1 perfectly proper but it is we'll to ex- empt live wires.
 The thoughts of some people are centered upon the time when they can go back to two spoons of sugar to each cup of coffee
 Coup d etats and reVoIts are noth- ing new to Russia and will do no l harm if they are carried on for the rebirth of that nation. With Sim Feiners enIistina in the British army conditions appear to be showing a cornmendable improve ment in the Emerald Isle. The danger of a revolution in Aus. tria is now announced. The wonder is that with the conditions there that Austria has escaped it this long.
 The reason the German experts are having such a hard time explainins the situation is because they are un. willing to admit the real reason. 1 The very fact that the war say. ings stamps are selling for this weel only at the attractive price of $4.1! ought to bring out the bargain hunter. in large numbers.

FOLLOWING UP THE ADVANTAGE

Losing no opportunity of taking ad- vantage of the gains which have been made along the western front, the all lied forces are moving steadily east ward and capturing important cen ters which the Germans have been de- lending strenuously for the purpose Of getting their supplies at the rear 10 a place of safety. moving their troops to points where they can be handled and preparing additional de- lenses. Strange as it may seem, for t is not a German characteristic, the enemy had not been giving very much attention to the strengthening of the cefense lines after the series of re- cent drives. They were apparently concerned with the chasing of the ai- lies and now when the tide of bat tie has turned they are participating Tn 2 wild scramble to get under cover.
 Where that will be is at present a decided uncertainty. It has been ex- Pected. and it still is. that the Ger man high command will endeavor to hold the old Hindenburg line. If there has been any doubt in the past that the allies will be able to drive them there 1t appears 10 be dissi- pated by the accomplishments in the past week for not only have such cen ters as Rove. ChaBnes. Albert. Crois- selles and Nesle fallen but the Brit ish and French have succeeded in re- capturing Noyon and Bapaume the southern and northern points on the wide salient where they had hoped tc make a stand.
 In the last two days the allies have made great progress in rolling back the Huns. The gains made seriously endanger other points especially since the Hindenhurg line has been crossed east of Arras. Peronne, Ham ana Chavigny are likely to fall soon, and il is a serious question now whether that line under present conditions car Ha hafr

 In selecting Senator Henry Cabot Lodge to be their leader in the Senate at Washington the minority party does well. He is a Massachusetts man of the best type. representing to high degree all those high New England qualities which have been of such marked help to the nation, from the days of the revolution down to the present. In the war Senator Lodge stands squarely behind President Wil- son. He may criticize at times, but I-he never does it for mere partisan benefit to the country, so far as the Senate is concerned.

 Convinced that the integral develop ment of all nations can only be as- sured by the crushing of the enemy of freedom, we trust that cur aspirations tending towards the union of the YEgo- -Slavs into one State will also be realized and thereby the real geo. raphical basis laid in conformat ton with great and sound principle, ae- cording to which the Balkans should belong to the Balkan nations who are determined to oppose Germany's push ing towards the Near East.

 Serbia has sacrificed everything she
 possessed Nevertheless she has re- mained unwaveringly true to her pro-
