Amiens would seriously distress
the allies.
Why then have the German
warlords played so desperate
lly in the present drive. One
theory is that in his conceit the
kaiser thought he could break
through and by a big victory
lay the ground for a German
made peace. The other and
perhaps the more rational one
is that Germany is growing
restless within so that decisive
action in the field was neces-
sary to peace at home. This
plus the fact that with Ameri-
cas- power coming more and
more to the front the allies are
growing stronger, thus becom-
ing harder to beat as time goes
on, may have led to the present
drive.
Whatever the explanation
may be it is evident that the
enemy has been playing a peri
lous role. He is classed by mi
litary experts as stalking all on
this April offensive. He is
paying a tremendous toll and if
he comes out of the mill with
out his objectives where will
he be?
Time may prove that this
drive towards Amiens is the
high water mark of the Teuton
attempt to conquer the world.
If Hindenburg is breaking his
own back then indeed has Foch
good reason for his complacen-

WALLA WALLA BANK \
CLERK SHOOTS SELF
SHOT YESTERDAY
MORNING.
Investigation Lead TO Belief That
Shooting Was Accidental; Accounts
Are .. X.

WALLIA WALLA, Wn., April q
Leo w. Ryan, general bookkeeper and
exchange clerk at the First National
bank was killed by, pistol shot at the
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ
Ryan. 329 East Main street, about
eight o'clock yesterday morning while
he was reclining on a couch.
An investigation of the shooting was
made shortly after the tragedy by
Coroner George MacMartin and DIR. j.
F. Cropp, who was called to render
medical attention to the wounded
man. Circumstances surrounding the
tragedy led the two to express the
opinion that Mr.. Ryan had accidental
ly shot himself.
Mr.. Ryan was known to possess a
revolver. His office in the bank was
exposed to public view, being along
side the big vaults and in event of an
attempted robbery of the bank, ne
probably would have been the first
one to have been singled out.
Rumors that Mr.. Ryan had taken
his own life We're secuted by close
friends yesterday, they stating there
was no reason for such an act. His
accounts at the bank We're in excel
lent shape. Officers of the bank de-
clared yesterday while his home life
was said to have been harmonious.

A CURRENT FORM OF
CHICANERY

NJ ERTAIN newspapers are
VI regularly sneering al
what they term "Arm
chair warriors" in Washing
ton. 1t is to the discredit of the
newspapers. The men at whom
these papers sneer are entitled
to better treatment. For the
most part they are veterans.
Many were in the Spanish war.
Some have been in France dur
ing this war. They are not
towards or slackers. They are
on duty at Washington because
they have been assigned to such
duty and the soldiers duty is
to obey. They are rendering
services of the highest import
ance. Good generalship is
just as necessary at Washing
ton as in the field. The So
called "arm chair warriors"
are a vital part of our war ma
chinery.
Those who sneer at these
men place themselves exactly
on a par with the l. w. w.
who appeal to class prejudice
with a sneer at executives in
the business and industrial
world and set forth the false
hood that the workers of the
world are those only who toll
with pick and shovel.
In this day of peril it is time
for truthfulness not for bun
combe. 1t is a time for fair
ness, not for petty politics. 1t
is no time to inflame prejudice
against the government in the
hope of partisan advantage.
There are others aside from
pro-Germans who are indulg-
ing in chicanery and lying to
the injury of Americas war
waging efforts. 1t should not
be tolerated.
