cabled to us under the head of war news, we would think that such offensive this one intended to be decisive stroke of the lay open at once the way to Paris and the channel ports, would be something of secret and not the common property of the two three million German soldiers on the Western front, of whom might be captured as they have been, and spill it to the enemy. Evidently there has been change of German war methods, tme since men began to contend with each other.
 If did not know how this reached shores would dismiss it the wild dream of cracked d-brained correspondent whose previous military correspondence experience had been confined to reporting tugof-war contests for the Punkville (Ark) Bugle. But knowing that it leaves the front with the approval of military censor and that it is further censored by experienced and able sfters of in London and Paris, hardly know what to think about it.

How It was Spilled to Us

Among the of "chld like simplicty'' character which reached this country from the western front on Tuesday speculation as to the time and character of the great German offensive The astute gentlemen who make up the news fer the consumption of us and the allies generally had come into possession of interesting and inside infor nation. They had learned much about the offensive It was to be conducted by means of an improved tank and new and deadlier gas than had yet been used. It not to be preceded by any of those long and furious bombardments which have heralded previous offensives either side There were to be the tanks. gas and then overwhelming pressure of Germans. But with all this arrangement we were cheerfully informed the allies expected to cope suc cessfully
 And why not? If army knows whats coming It can not easily be surprised and surprise at some stage of the battle is usually prime cause of de- feat. But where did we learn all about the details of this offensive? We got them all from a few German prisoners who captured by patrols or raiding parties Since such prisoners are always privates being accompanied by so much as sub lieutenants. imagine this offensive being pretty captured privates had their information first hand from friendly frank talks they had with von Hnden- burg and Ludendorf; that to each of the German soldiers these srategists had pointed out and made plain the precise part he must play in the drama

LEADERS FAR APART
 ON ARRANGEMENTS
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Although the strikes of carpenters in eastern shipyards was at an end today after intervention by President Wilson, the government and carpenters brother hood leaders apparently were far apart tonight on arrangements to prevent fu- ture trouble.
 William l.. Hutcheson, president of the brotherhood at a conference with Chairman Hurley of the shipping board; Charles Piez, general manager of the Emergency Fleet corporation; Samuel Gompers, and members of the shipbuilding labor adjustment board, insisted the closed shop principle should be enforced and declined to leave the question to the decision of adjustment board.
 A further conference will be held to- morrow at which shipping board off cials said tonight they were hopeful a satisfactory conclusion would be reached
 Hutcheson insisted tonight before the government held the carpenters to the open shop principle it should take over all ship yards and eliminate profit talk ing by private interests. If this were done, he said the carpenters would be willing to work on any terms the gov ernment might prescribe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Investment stocks were under persistent pressure during today's more restricted trading Pools were less conspicuous and pub- lie interest showed perceptible dimin- ution.
 Dealings centered Tn industrials, not ably war stocks, shippings and the au- tomobile and oil groups, but the trend was often so conflicting as to defy analysis.
 Rails moved within fractional limits for the most part. United States Sleers course was typical of that pur- sued by affiliated equipments, holding slightly above or under final quota tions of the previous day until shortly before the close, when prices eased l to points all around. Sales amounted to I60,000 shares.

We must have ships to carry freight away from the seaboard terminals, or coal will be tangled up again, as it was three weeks ago. tangled up with out bound freight and unable to reach the ships waiting for fuel to enable them to carry out cargoes from the con- gested tracks. With plenty of ships to keep the terminals clear, we shall be able to move coal to the places where it is most needed and we shall have coal enough to move. In fact, the faster we move it, the faster we can produce it, for the mines load directly from tipple to car.

FL PASO, Feb. 20-Wholesale quan- titles of wheat and flour have been purchased in Chile and Argentina for distribution in Mexico according to "El Universal" a daily newspaper of semi official character printed in Mex leo City. Under date of February II, a copy of this paper had at the border tonight.
 An article in "El Universaf stated that between 30,000 and 10000 tons of wheat and flour had been bought by agents of the Mexican government in Chile and Argentina and was being loaded at Valparaiso and other ports for shipment to Mexico. This food sup ply is expected to reach Mexico City March 15, the paper stated.
 Food is reaching Chihuahua City and Juarez from the south, indicating a new food supply has been received as little is being smuggled across the border at present.

eggs is about so per cent of what the hen is actually worth, so that this program does not entail loss to the farmer, but an actual gain.
 Undoubtedly this program will create a great many protests from people who state that for every pound of poultry not consumed a Correspond ing pound of beef or other meats will be used. The food administration feels, however, that the killing of hens just before and during the heavy spring lay is wasteful practice. just as wasteful as the killing of fresh milk cows for beef, and that by enforcing this program, prices will be kept with in reason, which could not otherwise be done.''

Worse Than BeIuium

More than any other act that they have mitted in the whole solidfy humanity against them is the conduct of the Central Empires, particularly Germany, toward Russia. Nothing else the Germans have done cannot find some excuse in the exgency of war. may be said of the invasion of Belgium that the Germans believed they ticipating invasion through that country by the allies and that in any event they intrudng upon nation that unfrendly to them. As to the Lustania, Germany found many honest apologiss in this country, well apologists for the sub marine campaign of ruthlessness. It said that international rules war must go down before this terrible weapon.
 But nothing be said for Germany in Russia. As former ally in the had lost regard for Russia, and the last shred of respect for the people of Russia had vanished. The damage they wrought the allied ncalcuabe but that we laid not to their treachery but their weakness and cowardce Those qualities which have been damaging to anu at the same time have given to Germany the greatest triumph it has yet in the war, should have quickened a sense of German gratitude or at least of German pity. We felt pity in spite of wrongs.
 But there is none of either in the German. In spite of the defenselessness of the Russians, their intense, their abnormal desire peace the Germans forcing upon them and melting among them. If Germany cannot have bloodo conquest it Will have bloodess one and will take the territories of those who laid down their arms, and will lay upon impoverished people crushing indemnity. Nothing that has happened in Belgium has been horrible and menacing civilization the events of the past three days in Russia. We have before been so impressed by German ruthlessness
 It is earnest of what might expect if Ger many should win this war, and the expectation of it would be postponed if the should end, inde- cisve Germany though not quite powerful enough to have conquered the world this time be powerful than it four years ago, and determined than ultimately to control the world

KEEP CHICKENS;
 HELP MN WAR

An appeal was issued today by the federal food administrator for Arizona to all poultry raisers, asking them to comply with the new rule sent out to dealers and commission merchants against the marketing of hens and bullets as food between February II and April 30, 1918. This rule does not interfere with the sale as food of fowls killed or shipped previous to February Il, provided they are dis posed of before February 23. The dealers are given until the latter date to dispose of such stock on hand.
 We earnestly hope that all poultry raisers will see, the point of this rul- ing and comply in the matter of di- rect sales to meat markets and indi- vidual consumers" said Food Admin istrator Riordan. Every hen which is sold before the first of May repre- sents food loss to the nation of about thirty eggs. The total loss of eggs represented by the customary selling of hens between the first of February and the first of May amounts to about 150,000,o00 eggs. The value of these
