Washington, July 5.-The spectacular
move of Czecho-Sloyaks in Russia, re-
sulting in the defeat Of the bolsheviki
and German forces, holds out little hope
of being either great of important
action.
This gallant band of $4,000 Slavs was
merely fighting its way to Vladivos-
tok when the battle took place. Russian
forces failed to rally around them as
had been hoped and investigation shows
that they lack the strength to serve as
a force which might eventually set up
a government--unless the allies help.
This was the sole new development
today in the tangled Russian situation

DELAY INDICATES

Belief Expressed That Kaiser

By j. w. T. Mason

New York, July 5.-Von Hinden
burg's delay in starting a new offen-
sire along the west front is strongly
indicative of new lack of confidence
at the kaiser's headquarters in the abil
| ity of the German army to win de,
cisive results on the battle field.
There apparently are powerful influ-
ences at work trying to persuade the
kaiser not to permit HindenbuIg to
continue his policy of ruthlessly slaugh-
tering Germany's manpower for chimer-
ical results. A definite acceptance by
the Germans of defensive role is un-
doubtedly under discussion at general
headquarters. Whether this relinquish-
ment of the initiative shall be acknow-
ledgcd at once or only after another flu
tile effort to break through the allies
front is a matter which the kaiser must
quickly decide.
He has refused his consent. at least
to an impetuous offensive undertaken
like the latest German drives, without
due strategic foIethought. This much
is known from the exceptional long in
terval which has passed since the begin
ming Of the fourth offensive. Between
the commencement Of the first and see.
ond German offensives this year there
was a period of 10 days, between the
starts of the second and third often
siyes, IS days and between the openings
of the third and fourth offensives, 13
days. 1t is now 26 days since the fourth
offensive began and no signs are yet
in evidence that a fifth is in immed
iate preparation.
This means that Hindenburg has al
the very least acknowledged his pre-
vious tactics of hurried drives were
wrong. 1t may further mean that the
! arrival of America s first million in
/, France has exercised decisive influ
ence on the side of the conservative mil
itary leaders and that authority has
been taken from Hindenburg to sacri
flee German armies at his own blood
thirsty will.
If Hindenburg ever intends to strike
again nc cannot dlIoru TO WdlV UNI

trenches against him. The announcement
Of Secretary Baker concerning the des

that this fact will make. Hindenburg ;,

Next to the food dealer who made
2lS3 per cent came a liquor man with

excess profit of 1920 per cent. Another
liquor man with 100000 capital made
1852 per cent.
A cold storage concern, capitalized

In the dairying business excess
