GERMANYS FUTURE INVOLVED.

In sum, then, it is well not TO permit the pres
ent Russian collapse, with its very real military
Disadvantages to the allies to be translated into
such terms as will magnify the future meaning Of
the event Germany has DESTROYED Russian unity
she has Enthusiastically involved herself in the
ruins No solution which she can improvise m
the east will satisfy the Poles or remove their
hostility. No solution of the Lithuanian question
which will do Germany any good can fail TO con-
Sttute standing danger and require German
gaulSonS and German military occupation. The
same IS even more true Of any effort to settle the
problem of great Russian anarchy
Add TO this the fact that the removal Of Russia
has changed the whole current OF Austrian policy
and purpose and liberated Austrian craftsmanship
and II is al the least safe 10 say that are not On
in the presence Of conditions which point toward
the domination of the Slav world bv the Teuton
but rather in the face of the rapid Development
OF new eastern question, quite capable Of alb
Sorbing all German energy and all German re-
sources in policy As sterile OF permanent advan-
tage to the HohenzoliernS as we're so years Of
Italian tyranny to the HaPsburgS.
The German assault upon the western world
has been repulsei and nothing is more certain
than that the end OF the war viii see no advance
OF German frontiers in the west. German attack
upon the east has destroyed Slav unity. but II has
removed one problem only to create many IF
Austria escapes wholly from German leading
strings at the close Of the present war not alone
Mitteleuropa, but German expansion at the eX-
penSe of the Slav, will cease 10 be great danger
The Slav and the Teuton will be left face to face
once more in their fight which is centuries old
and the western world may he spared from new
German assaults for many years. during which
Germany will be occupied in attempting 90 do
what Austria failed TO do alike in north German
and in Italy.
The German is exploiting his Russian successes

AUSTRIAN FEAR GONE.

There is, too. one more aspect OF the new sit
uation in the east, which must not escape atten-
ton. BY destroying Russian unity and reducing
Russia to fragments, Germany has raised the Po-
liSh question in form destined to plague her
statesmen and threaten her security for long years
to come, but in the same way she has put the Aus
trian situation with reference to Germany on a
totally different basis. With the collapse of Rus
sia, Austria resumes her political independence.
For half century, ever since her defeat by Bis
marck, in 1860 Austria has been bound to Ger

 FRUSTRATED WHEN
 TWO ARE CAUGHT

MESA, May 31.-Constable O. l.. Pickens arrested two men yesterday morning who are alleged to have taken withou. payment SIP worth of groceries from the C P. Hill store located on the Eastern canal, five miles out on the Roosevelt highway.
 Two days ago at about o'clock in the evening one of the men came into the store and selected goods to the above amount and placed them in q gunny sack. Mrs. Hill then came in and told her husband to go to the house to supper and she would finish with the customer. When Hill left, the man asked for writing tablet and while she was wrapping it he picked up the sack and hurried out to his companion who was keeping watch on the bridge over the canal. The two ran down the canal on the desert side and disap- peared from view.
 Mrs. Hill notified her husband and Pickens was at once phoned for. The officer made search of the desert but to no avail. The next morning MT. I hlll phoned him that three men were 1 seen coming out of field and these were picked up but proved to be three boys who were trying to get away from the Indian school. These were deliv- cred to the school authorities.
 Yesterday morning Pickens received another call from the storekeeper and this time the men were caught. They had been picked up by rancher whc l brought them back north and was en- deaVorlng to secure them as workers ir his cotton field Just as they reached the turn of the road near Hills store the car went into a ditch and one ot the men was seen to leave for the desert where he disappeared behind .
 thlcket Hill recognized him and Mrs Hill recognized the other who staveC about the car, evidently dependins upon the fact that he had been on the
 bridge at the time it is alleged tn,
 goods were taken and would not b, recognized.

HUN EXPECTED ID TURN ID WESTWARD
IRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 3O.-The Germans in the Champagne pushed farther to- ward the river Marne today. The in tention of the Tuetons probably is to secure a position enabling them to turn to the westward with the bulk of their attacking armies.
 The efforts of the Germans since their first rapid advance appear to take a fan-like movement. The prin- cipal column of the Teuton divisions seem to be thrusting in the direction of Fere- en- -Tardenois which now is under a heavy fire.
 On both Hanks also strong forces are engaged. The first of these cap- tured Soissons, while on the eastern flank they threaten Reims. Tn the latter region, however. they are meet ing the sternest defense from th, Franco British forces which neverthe. less, have been obliged to re-alieI in order to keep the front straight.

Fhe second counter attack was launched at 6:14 D. m. One enemy wave passed be- yond the American barrage, but our in- fantry drove off the Germans in No Mans Land.

 A score were captured this morning. They had hidden in deep caves yester- day and last night.
 The American field hospitals won the admiration of all yesterday On one occasion officers abandoned their mess room to nurses who were making bandages and ate in the yard in front | of the building.
 A pathetic aftermath of yesterday s advance into Cantigny was the funeral service for several of the Americans | this afternoon. It took place in a pie | turesque little cemetery near the front which has recently been. shelled the same as the American hospitals. Aged French women and little children stripped their gardens of flowers to cover the graves of the American he- roes.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May 3O.- That the British people. even after four years of prodigious effort and heartbreaking losses, are determined to continue the war, until the menace of the German military power is removed from the world' was the message brought back to the United States by the American labor mission which ar rived here tonight after visits to the capitals and many of the principal cities of England and France.
 We found agitators for an inde- cisive peace, but there was abundant evidence that neither in numbers noi in influences are they important" said Prof. A. C. Lovejoy, a member of the mission. War weary, the British peo. pie are. but they are far from being ready to quit"

LONDON. May 30.-Commenting on the capture of Cantigny by the Ameri- cans. the Evening News says:
 Bravo! The young Americans. Nothing in today's battle narrative from the front is more exhilarating than the account of their fight at Can- tigny. It was clean-cut from begin- ming to end, like one of their country men's short stories, ana the short story of Cantigny is going to expand into full-length novel which will write the doom of the kaiser and kaiserdom.
 We expected it. We have seen those young Americans in London, and merely to glance at them was to know that they are conquerors and brothers in that great Anglo Saxon Latin com pact which will bring down the diaboli- cal Prussian idol, with its poisons and calculated infamies. 10 enthrone chiv- alrous humanity again.
 They do not swagger and they have no war illusions. They have done their first job with swift precision, charac- teristic of the United States, and Can tigny will one day be repeated a thou sandfold- On that day the kaiser's crown will go to the allied museum

THRUST PROMPTED
 BY POLICY REASON

AMSTERDAM, May 30.-Political motives. including the defeat of the French army, are responsible for the German thrust on the Aisne, according to a suggestion in the Rheinische West faalische Zeitung Of Essen.
 We are on the right road,' it says, with this attack, for all political con- alterations imperatively demand that we should show the French our strong arm. Well considered strategic plans were at the bottom of our blow at Amiens. We do not criticise them, but political questions cannot be ignored.
 Even if the British are expelled from the continent, the war would not end, as they could land behind the Loire or entrench themselves on their own islands and continue the naval war. The French army must be given a good beating. That is a preliminary condition to any possible peace on the continent
