clash of interests treaties are of

Two Great Turning Movements
BY Germans Are Expected
Within Next Few DAYS.
HAVE the SAME OBJECT
Purpose Would be 70 Wipe Out Sharp
Allied Salient BY Cutting Into
Line Terminating On All
Arras-lens Front.

London. April IA resumption Of
the great German offensive is indi-
Gated by the way events along the
battle line in France and Belgium arc
shaping themselves.
Since the savage attack on the
American forces at Seicheprey there
has been no fighting of an extraor-
binary nature along the front, but
there have been indications that the
Teutons are almost ready to resume
the sledge hammer blows they have
been aiming at the Allied armies.
Unless recent operations have been
feints, 1t is probable the coming week
will witness two great turning move
ments by the Germans. One probably
will pivot on the village of RobecQ,
northwest Of Bethune, on the south
ern side of the salient driven into the
Allied lines back of Armentieres. The
other is expected to develop at or
near Mesnil, north OF Albert on the
north side of the Somme salient.
On Lens-Arras Line.
The purpose of these movements
will be to cut deep into the Allied
lines on each side of the promontory
that projects out into German-held
territory and terminates on the old
Arras-Lens front. The Germans have
attempted two great frontal attacks
on the defense of Lens and Arras. but
they have been repulsed with terrible
losses to the attackers. These losses
were inflicted upon the enemy before
he reached the stronger Allied posi-
tons in that sector, and since the
second defeat at Festubert and Gil
venchy, the Germans have not cared
to take up the task Of driving the
Canadians from their positions alonS
Vimy Ridge and on each end Of that
natural bulwark before Arras.
If successful attacks were to be
launched by the Germans at Robecq
and Mesnil, the British might be
forced to withdraw from Arras with
out having a chance to defend their
positions there. Heavy artillery fire
at both places has been reported ard
a local attack at Mesnil showed that
the Germans were capable at that
point of resuming offensive opera
tons.
Along Line Of Lys.
Along the line Of the Lys, south
west of Ypres on the northern front,
there has not been any notable fight
ing nor have the Germans again es-
sayed the breaking of the Belgian
line north of Ypres since King AL
bert's men smashed a great assault
on that part Of the front.
South Of Albert at Villers.Breton-
neaux, there has been continuous
artillery duel for two days and a Ger
man attack there may be expected
soon. On a line held by the French
from Albert south to Montdidier and
thence cast to the old battle line there
has been lively artillery fighting.

the North German Confedera
ton and an elaborate federal
constitution was drawn up. Here
we can see the influence Of the
United States for the Bundesrat
and Reichstag somewhat resem-
bic our Senate and House of Rep
resentatives. and their customs
system was organized much like
that of the United States.
But still unification was not
complete, for on the south were
three German states subject to
the influence of France. The
next step was to put France in
to such a condition she could no
longer interfere with the COM
plete union of the German peo-
pie. An excuse arose when
Spain was supposed to desire a
king from one of the branches
Of the Hohenzollern family. Bis
marck telegraphed roughened
account of a pretended insult to
the Emperor of Germany and
war between France and Germa-
ny was forced. Within six weeks
the French Empire fell, the new
republic was in it's place, and
Germany had annexed Alsace
and Lorraine. Territorially the
work was done. Nearly all the
German speaking people Of Eu-
rope were now in one nation. In
1871 King William of Prussia be-
came Emperor of Germany.
Bismarck had more than re-
stored the German Empire for
this new empire was far strong
er and more powerful than the
old Holy Roman Empire.
Our President in his address
to Congress one year ago spoke
of the German government as an
autocracy and as an irresponsible
government. Was he right in so
speaking? Can we call a govern
ment an autocracy when it has
written constitution and par
lament, provides for frequent
elections, and allows it's people
the right to vote? Let us look
into this government for a time
and see. The legislative power
rests with two bodies -the Bun
desrat and the Reichstag. The
Emperor may declare war with
out consulting the Reichstag and
if the war is defensive need not
consult the Bundesrat. The Ho-
henzollerns claim they make on
ly defensive war so it is not sur
prising that the Bundesrat
knew nothing of the present war
until some days after it was de-
clared. The Emperor is COM
mander-in-chief of army and
navy. has charge of foreign af-
fairs, make treaties, etc. To be
sure he has a chancellor but this
chancellor is appointed and re-
moved by the Emperor and is
answerable to him alone.
The laws that govern the Ger
man Empire are made by these
two bodies--the Bundesrat and
the Reichstag. We here in
America hear very little of the

powerful body than the Reich.

| Prussia. as we have seen. is
the strongest state of the con-
federation. 1t has an area great
er than that of all the other Ger
man states combined, and has
two-thirds of the population of
Germany. 1t was Prussia that
made the German Empire and in
this Empire she has installed
herself at every point of vantage
and jealousy guards not only
her primacy but also the actual
power. The elective system
here is, if anything, worse than
that of the Empire. To be sure
every Prussian man twenty-five
years Of age has a right to vote
but the exercise of this right is
so arranged that the ballot of
the poor man is practically ami
hilated. This is the way it is
done: The voters in each cleo
toral district are divided into
three classes according to
wealth. The result is the few
rich men are set aside in one
class, the less rich in a second
class, and the many poor people
by themselves. Each of these
groups choose an equal number
of delegates to the convention.
Thus in every electoral conven-
ton two thirds of the members
represent the rich or well-to-do
classes. The poor man has no
chance. This seems bad enough
but worse than this they are not
allowed the privilege of the Sec
ret ballot but must vote orally.
Many prefer to forego the priv
ilege of voting and remain at
home. OF course most of those
who fail to vote are from the
third class who feel they have so
little voice anyway. In Prussia
the Prince has the absolute veto.
In fact neither in the Empire
nor in any of the states does the
elected body control the Govern
ment. Germans may have the
right to vote but what differ
ence does that make if the vote
leads nowhere--if all their legis-
lation may be nullified by other
bodies over which the voters
have no control. Still they
claim "The Germans are the
freest people on earth" This
may be true if we look at it from
their view point, that Liberty
which is not German is not lib
erty."

THE FARMERS BOUGHT
BONDS,

Next to the aggregate number
Of subscribers perhaps the most
striking features Of the Third
Liberty Loan was the support
given it by the farming and rural
populations Of the country. Not
only did the farmers purchase
literally Of the bonds, but the
rural communities as a rule were
more prompt in completing their
quotas Of the loan than the larger
cities. More than 10000 com.
munities in the United States
subscribed or oversubscribed
their quotas, many Of them on the
first day Of the campaign. The
majority Of these were not cities
but country districts.
Iowa, . typical agricultural
State, was the first to subscribe
its quota and was followed by
Oregon, Arkansas. Kentucky, and
other States in which agriculture
is the leading industry.
Il IL impossible to give accurate
figures but it Is estimated that
while only two per cent OF the
forming population Of the United
States subscribed to the first and
second loans, probably ten times
a. many subscribed to the third.
The significance is increased by
the facts that the heavy sub
scription was made at q season
when the farmers are ordinarily
on the borrowing and not on the
lending and investing side Of the
market. and when the farms OF
the country are speeded up TO
the limit.
This wide distribution Of the
third loan among the whole PEG.
ple shows that the body OF the
Nation has become aroused and
gone into action that the sense
Of duty and the necessity Tor IN
dividual support Of the country
has pcrmeated the whole people.
Secretary McAdoo may justly be
enthused over the result and call

RECORD PRICES FOR HONEY

The scarcity Of sugar has led to
an increased demand for honey,
which is used as substitute for
Jams and jellies. 1T is reportc'
that the greatest present consump-
ton of honey is in England and
that there the people find it al
most as necessary to have their
jams or jellies for breakfast as
we do to have eggs. It has been
impossible, however, Of late to
produce jam of sufficient quaint
ties because the glass jars were
costly and sugar was used for
other purposes. People in Eng
land think nothing Of paying 2oo
shillings for a cwt. or 2 s. or about
50 cents per pound for honey. In
this country California is one OF
the honey producers. but no more
honey will come from there until
July or August and no more
come from Colorado and the
Rocky Mountains until September.
The prices for white grade honey
is 10 cents, as compared with 79
cents year ago, and spot honey
Of the white grade sells for Is
cents. Amber honey has been
selling at II cents. These are
wholesale prices among the New
York brokers. As no shipments
will be made from the Pacific
coast until July and as it will
take six weeks for the trip 70
bring the honey across the coun-
try, there is no expectation OF
any special supply until autumn.
Cuba is also quite a producer
Of honey and has been for very
many years. This honey sells for
less than the domestic and is re-
ported to have some water in it,
which of course depreciates its
value. Domestic honey is re-
ported as weighing IL pounds to
a gallon and Cuban honey, be-
cause Of water and other foreign
substances sometimes found in it,
81 less certain and sometimes
weighs as low as II IL pounds
and even less. Alfalfa and sage
are used in the California grades,
white and sweet clover in Ken.
lucky grades and bass wood and
tupelo in the Florida grades. AS
at the present time Cuban honey
il embargoed, the Porto Rican
and Haytian homes are about the
only ones available and the sup
ply at present is very low with
no prospects of relief until next
fall.--La. Planter & Manufac-
