week will be marked by the entrance Of new American
forces. and the longer the main conflict Is delayed the
greater win be the odds against the Teutons. For these
and other reasons 1t hes been taken for granted that
Germany would strike Just as soon As she had reached
the utmost Of her preparations. and this she seems to
have done.
Accepting the present activity as the beginning Of
the great drive it yet remains to be seen where that drive
will be launched. On neither side are the commanders
advertising their real purpose. The great artillery prep
arauon on q section Of the British line may be followed
by a tremendous infantry movement in the same terri
tory, or it may be intended to hold the attention of the
enemy while the real blow is launched against a different
part Of the line. But, whenever and wherever the main
offensive begins, we may rest assured that from now on
there will be heavy fighting all along the west front,
and the fighting of the next few weeks may determine
the result of the war.

U. S. Official, Are
Doubtful Regarding

Forerunner to Some Other
Movement

Washington, March s22.-American
military observers. already having
cast their doubts on whether ,the Ger
ma drive begun yesterday really
heralds the long expected German Of
f%ensive, were closely scanning the Of
ficial dispatches, today for evidence
to support their view that the. German
onslaught, terrific as 1t ma be-, re-
ally is the forerunner of some other
movement.
There is a marked tendency among
American army officers here not to
accept the present movement as the,
real offensive until it is more fully,
demonstrated.
American observers think that the
military situation in France Is against
thep reliability Of. a real German Of

GETTING USED TO IT

The people Of North Dakota have been dragged
through the valley of humiliation so often during the past
two years that another experience more or less cuts little
figure with them. They are getting used to it.
If custom had not faniliarized US with these things
a good many OF us would have been shocked by the spec
tacle which was presented in st. Paul the other day when
the governor of North Dakota joined with his boss, Town
ley, in denouncing the forceful and thoroughly appropri-
ate reply OF Governor Burnquist to Lesueur. In every
sentence Of that reply there was the spirit Of vigorous
Annericanisn. Townley Immediately asserts that the. gov.
errors reply was an attack on the farmers. In that
Townley lied. Governor Burnquist did denounce Town
ley, Lesueur, and the rest of the precious gang that have
been associated with them in bossing the affairs of the
league, and he made an excellent job of it. He discussed
the facts as they are shown in the record, and there is no
getting away from them.
Now comes the governor of North Dakota and, max
ing common cause with this seditious cabal, follows their
lead, Identifies himself with them, and pursues their
methods.
There are different ways of bossins in politics. There
have been a great many political bosses of one sort and
another. Their methods have been various. But most o,
them have had one characteristic in common, namely,
that Of self-effacement. AS a rule, the really successful
boss did not obtrude himself on the attention of the pub.
lie. He preferred to keep in the background and there
assert whatever authority he was able to gain. The pup
pets whom he manipulated were permitted to strut and
pose. to receive the plaudits of the crowd, and to assume
the appearance of free agents.
But we are in new times and employing new methods
The modern practice appears to be for the boss take the
center of the ring himself and, with cracking the whip
put his trained animals through their antics. Perhaps
this is natural enough. We have been told a good many
times that as a rule the political boss has followed his
avocation or his Observation-Disclosures it is-chiefly 70,
love Of the game and because of the sense Of power which
it gave him. If to these We add the pleasure of rece,v-
ing the plaudits of the multitudes we may reach a meas
ue Of understanding of the Townley method. 1t is not
every boss that has been able to make the governor or a
stateJump through a hoop at the snap of his finger, to do
it in full view Of the crowd, and to act as if he liked it.

THE GREAT OFFENSIVE

IT may take days to determine whether or not the
heavy bombardment Of so miles Of the British from,
which was begun on Thursday marks the opening Of the
great German offensive which has been so widely adyer-
tised and which has been so generally expected. It may
be the real thing, or it may merely be an experiment.
II may be a part Of the intended offensive, and vet the
main blow may be launched in an entirely different sector
All OF these things will take time to develop.
OF one thing we may be certain; the greatest battles
near future. The two great forces cannot remain long
facing each other in comparative idleness. Somebody
must strike.

the initiative in the spring movement would be taken

ELEVENTH HOUR PATRIOTISM

WHO, &c n dlScredlt OF North Da-
kota, is one of the official representatives Of this state iii
the upper branch Of congress, wants peace with victory
and victory with honor. He is convinced, so he says, that
OF the peoples government and in the interest Of liberty
and freedom"
There were those of US" said Mr.. Gronna. who
were not willing at the particular time the declaration
was made to enter the war. but 1 hope that at least no
senator will challenge the patriotism Of any Of those who
were in the minority at that time. We are as much in
terested in the outcome of the war as those OF you who
were in the majority. L know it to be my patriotic duty
to do everything in my power to prosecute the war sue
cessfully."
All Of which, coming from Mr.. Gronna, is piffle.
Mr.. Gronna not only opposed the entrance of the
United States into the war, and the adoption of measures
Of precaution which the most ordinary prudence dictated.
but he took advantage of technicalities to obstruct the ac-
ton Of the entire membership of the senate with the ex-
ception Of the pitiful dozen with whom he had allied hin
self. He opposed and obstructed the arning of American
merchant vessels when it was proposed that they should
be equipped to defend themselves against the attacks Of
"autocracy and olisarchy' on the high seas. He opposed
the declaration that a state Of war existed. opposed it in
the face Of facts which had been fairly shrick:ng for rec
ognition for months. He opposed the draft. He opposed
every measure that was taken in the early weeks Of the
war to fit the nation for the great struggle upon which it
had embarked. And now he comes whining and homes
that his patriotism will not be challenged.
MI. Gronna was not in favor of the war lat the par
ticular time the declaration was made" AT what time
would he have become inNavor Of it? After a few more
of our ships had been sunk and a few hundred more Of
our people been killed? OF would he have waited until
a German army actually appeared off the Atlantic coast?
And when that thing happened, would even that have
brought a declaration of war from Mr.. Gronna? Would he
not have been in favor of moving the.capital to Chicago
or Denver and letting the people Of the East look after
and the rest OF us who could should keep out
Of the way and save our own skins?
Mr.. Gronna's new declaration Of patriotism would
be more convincing il it were accompanied by full con-
fession Of wrong-doing and humble apology, with prom
Use OF amendment Without these it tends to aggrayate
the original offense. ~
