Major Erickson has just received an urgent appeal from the national con- mittee, of which ex-President Nm. Howard Taft is chairman, for Bisbee to observe July 14. the French nation al holiday. It was upon this date more than a hundred years ago that the French citizens stormed the Bastile. that old monument of imperialism and horror, and established the first re- public in that world old monarchy.
 The French cities. by official act of their mayors. have just celebrated the Fourth of July. and the least we can do is to join our sister republic and ally in observance of her great day.
 Mayor Erickson is anxious that Bis bee observes this day ih some formal manner at least by hanging flags and having some kind of ceremony He urges that all citizens interested in this patriotic undetaking meet this evening in the office of City Attorney Kyle to make some arrangements for Risbee to observe this day in a proper

German high command that few of
the allied troops will survive the eff
fects of the tanks, the gas and the
bombardment and that fresh, German
infantry will overcome speedily any
resistance offered in captured posi-
lions.
Despite these assurances the in
tensive training to which they have
been put, the German troops are
frankly skeptical and are undertaking
ing to prisoners. They feel they are
going to be thrown into battle to be
used as cannon fodder and do not
relish the prospect.
1t is said General Won Ludendorff
recently addressed a body of infantry
at Laon and asked how many men
were willing to fight to a finish Only
five non-commissioned officers and
privates stepped forward. The others
declared their desire for an early
peace by arrangement"
German officers, on the other mana,
apnear to have the conviction they
will be able to break thru by means
of their secret attacks
Cite Riga for Example.
General Won Hutier, who is reputed
to have laid the plans for the capture
of Riga has come to the western front
to assist in the preparation. The les
sons of the capture of Riga have been
preached religiously to the German
troops. 1t has been pointed out that
there, a preliminary bombardment of
four or five hours to cut the enemy
wires and demolish defenses was suf-
ficient\ to give the Germans firm
footing in the Russian positions.
The enemy troops have not been
told, however that the morale of the
Russians at Riga was very low and
that the German attack was a COM
plete surprise.
+ The Germans will find the allied
morale at the highest pitch on the
western front and their attack will be
far from the surprise desired. The
allies are ready for a big blow and
await with assurance the next move of
the German high command.
Can't Delay Much Longer.

BRITAIN GAINS DOWN
Political Tension Relaxes Since Gen.
Robertson Accepted New Job.

London, Feb 19-Tension in the
politicals world in connection with
military affairs has relaxed consider
ably This is due largely to the ac-
ceptance of General Robertson, for
mer chief of the imperial general
staff. of the eastern command, which
removed anxiety lest his services be
lost to the country.
The eastern is a first class COM
mand, with all the highest emolu-
ments and is especially important as
it would likely be the first to be af-
fected by any attempted German in
vasion.
Nevertheless, the announcement of
the generals transfer was received in
the house of commons with some mer-
riment as if it struck the hearers as
deroga.ory. The fact probably was
that Sir Henry Wilson, who succeeds
General Robertson as chief of the i'm
peria1 staff, himself held it for some
months last year and it has come to
be regarded popularity as a typical
temporary appointment.
General Robertson's acceptance of
the eastern command is commended
warmly by the press as an example
of soldierly compliance with duty as
discipline and as showing that he is
not Influenced by any notion of per-
sonal dignity because of the recent
controversy. Opinion is now general,
according to the newspaper lobby
lists, that criticisms of the govern
nlent will not be pressed to the ex-
treme point in today's debate in the
house and that the Versailles policy
will be accepted. Talk of displacins
the government virtually has disap-
peared and it is said, also, that the
Earl of Derby is certain to remain as
minister of war.

delivered here Monday before

The great Y. M. C. A. auditorium

Taft. s.-.
I'VE are not at the danger point
England, France and Russia since
1914 have been fighting the battle of

realize that all depends on you and

DenOunces Some Great Patriots
Il have read recently the utterances
of some of those responsible for those
conditions, and singular1y enough, they
unctiously express, as great patriots,
their sorrow that such disclosures

In support of his declaration for
government ownership Senator John
son said that the railroads had broken
down under the stress of the last few
months: that, if the country is to have
efficient national transportation the
roads must be nationalized and operat-
