ONLY ONE RIGHT VIEW.

Military opinion in Washington is
divided between two views of what
will happen if the present German
offensive falls short of any object
i've that the enemy could point to
as real gain. One view is that
such a failure would convince him
that a further attempt would be use
less and that the hour for a peace
parley had come. The other is that
he would take up the strongest po-
sition he could find and prepare for
long defensive war.
The reasons for accepting the lat
ter view are so much more numer-
Gus and weighty that they will seem
to most observers Of events to put
the first proposition entirely out of
the running. 1t is true that Mr..
Lloyd George and others have spok-
en- of the German commands un-
doubted purpose to throw everything
into a desperate attempt to get a
decision this summer. That purpose
may be admitted. The strength Of
Hindenburg's attack, the numbers
employed and the indifference exhib.
tied to the huge losses amply sup
port that view Of his purpose. He
The Redwood gazette., 1918-05-01

believed there was a chance to de-
stroy or isolate the British amry, af-
ter which the French could be dealt
with in detail. 1t was chance, des-
perate as it was, that would only
grow more desperate by waiting, for
every week of delay brought nearer
the support of Americas reserves.
But to admit that purpose, or even
to admit that Hindenburg believes
the objective would be gained and
with it a victorious peace, is very
far from establishing that the Ger
mans would have to quit and accept
terms if the chance failed. They are
trying for a decision. Of course.
They have been trying for one for
nearly four years. But when the
Germans talk about a decision they
don't mean that they are stalking
everything on gamblers chance and
are ready to accept whatever decl-
sion turns up. When they talk about
decision they mean a German deci-
sion. If they fail to get that kind
las they have several times failed
they content themselves with hold
ing what they have gained until the
time comes when another chance pre-
sents itself to snatch at victory.
There is nothing to show that Ger

that being in the military and naval
service of the country entails upon
the beneficiaries.
When Americans give up their pri-
vate occupations and in obedience to
the call of their country and the law
of the land, often at great financial
sacrifice. face the dangers of war
and offer their lives in the service
of their country, it is but right and
just that upon the nation and not
upon them should be put the added
cost of insurance their dangerous oc-
cupation incurs.
Secretary McAdoo says that the
soldier and sailor insurance is the
justest, wisest and most humane pro-
vision ever made by any nation for
It's fighting forces. This opinion is
shared in by the soldiers and sailors
and by the people of the United
States. The injustice, the partiality,

BILL JONES' MULE.

Old Bill Jones had kicking mule
He couldn't cure. The gol-dern fule
Would kick all night and kick all day;
Hoist up his heels while eatin' hay.
He'd hee-haw like demons screech;
He'd hit ev'rythin' in reach;
And when his eyes saw nothin' there,
He'd kick away at the empty air.
But Bill is sure the wisest cuss:
He didn't raise nasty fuss,
Ner trade the mule ter an innercent.
He knew what conservation meant:
He fixed a harness, strong and tight,
Till that mules heels was wond-
rous sight;
And then, with pulleys, belts and
wheels,
He utilized them wasteful heels.
At ev'ry kick the wheels would turn;
He pumped the water; ran the churn;
Did the washin'; sawed the wood;
Ground the feed and ground it good;
Shaved the pigs to sausage meat;
Baled hay and threshed the wheat;
Dug the bitches; laid the tile;
Stretched wire fence morn mile;
Chopped the silage; shred the corn;
MIXED cows both night and morn;
Turned the cattle out to Craze;
Dried the wash on stormy days;
He ran little dynamo;
And, as his feet tipped to and fro,
They stored the willy 1ectric juice
In batteries for future use;
So house and barn were lighted well,
With current left enough to sell,
Till no one need to go without,
Who lived within ten miles about.
In fact, Bill Jones grew rich and fat,
Which isn't to be wondered at.
He'd caught the secret Of the hour
The harnessin' of wasted power.
Some genius Of inventive mind
Should study hard and method find
To muzzle, rope or tie the men
Who waste their force in kicking,
when
They might be turnin' wheels instead,
And movin' this old world ahead.
Such mind would have endurin' fame,
| And all the earth would praise his
name. Charles E. Whelan.
The Redwood gazette., 1918-05-01

many's military strength is exhausted
or that a failure to win a decision
this summer will leave her power
less to 60 on. It would be folly for
America or the Allies to count on
any such outcome of the battle now
going on. Germany was never so
strong on the western front as she
now is. The Germans may have
hoped for a quick result from that
battle, they doubtless are disappoint-
ed that they haven't obtained it, but
if we are wise we will not try to
make ourselves believe that because
they have failed to land the first
blow they haven't second and a
third, and many more in reserve.
Nothing in the development of the
present battle should change the
American program of getting there
just as quickly as possible with the
greatest possible strength.-Kansas

BARLEY is HEALTHFUL.

"There can be no question about
the healthfulness of barley -four"
says R. A. butcher, professor of ag-
ricultural at the University Farm,
St Paul. BARLEY product have been
quite generally used for breads and
breakfast foods long before the war
time necessities brought their uses
to particular attention. Physicians
quite generally prescribe barley
gruels for infants and various bar
ley preparations for invalids, and I
cannot understand that there is any
reasonable ground upon which to
base the assertion that it's general
use would cause any trouble to ones
constitution. The story that barley
flour is unhealthful has received
quite general circulation throughout
the state.

THE GREATEST INSURANCE
BUSINESS IN THE WORLD

More than $12,OOO,OOO, 900 of insur-
ance upon the lives of members of
the military and naval forces of the
United States has been written by
the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance
of the United States Treasury.
A year ago the total amount of
life insurance in force in the u. S.
was about $22,O00,000,OOO. In a few
months the U. S. Government has
written more than so per cent of
that amount.
1t furnishes this insurance to the
beneticiaries at the same rate that
private companies would furnish It
in times of peace. This insurance is
bought and paid for at regular rates
by the benefciaries, except that the
Nation assumes the additional risk

the inequalities and other evils Of the

EMPIRE

Young, piquant and talented, Doris
Lee is the leading lady for Charles
Ray, the Thomas H. Ince star, in his
newest Paramount picture, playing
the Came" which is to be presented
at the Empire theatre today and to-
morrow. Miss Lee is one of the
best actresses of the younger school
of film luminaries and as the daughter
of rancher in this photoplay, she
appears to excellent advantage.
Playing the Came was written by
Julien Josephson, and is said to be
the most impelling story that has
been given Mp. Ray in a long time
Miss Lee is delightfully."- cast as a
brave, resourceful Arizona girl, high
spirited and filled with the vim and
vigor of the cattle country.
Others in the supporting cast in
clude Robert McKim, who will be seen
as a rough ranch foreman, Lillian
Lorraine, as a butterfly along the
bright white way and Billy Elmer,
as a prizeighting valet. The sit
uations are strong, the atmosphere
convincing and the theme of the
story most wholesome.

PLAZA

A very pleasing the way-through
programme was offered the first night
ers at the Plaza last night and en-
thusiasm was very much in evidence.
George Kalaluhis Hawaiian Enter
tanners headlined the vaudeville bill.
There are eight very clever natives of
the dreamy isles in the cast, COM
prising singers, instrumentalists and
dancers. The vocal numbers were a
treat and that Hawaiian music was
positively exquisite and the real
Hawaiian dance executed by one of
the girls in the act certainly deserved
the ovation it received.
Kane and Leonard who have been
nicknamed ''the two midnight sons,
have a rather odd skit with an I'M
usual method of developing high
speed laughter. There's only one tiny
bit of criticism we have to offer. Why
don't boys who can dance so cleverly
give the audience a little more of it
Lerner, Ward and Briscoe offered
1.-THE Voice Broker" composed of a
little humor and plenty of ideal sing
ing and lastly a burlesque song num-
Der that is worth the price of admis-
sion alone.
Kemp and Brown, a couple of COL
ored entertainers had a singing and
dancing offering that was Hastily flaw
ored with mirth and it went big with
last nights crowds.
"By Right of Purchase" Norma
Talmadge's latest screen production is
a credit to both herself and the COM
pany that released it. The story is
admirable, the acting is superb and
the settings and costuming are ex-
quisito.
It's a picture folks will go out and
talk about and with such a pleasing
vaudeville bill the management of the
Plaza should reap a harvest the re.
mainder of the week.

of the success which has greeted this
versatile company of players and in
Potash and Perlmutter in Society"
it's members have outdone their best
efforts. With each performance a
decided improvement has been shown

results which have been achieved.
Next week beginning with the
Monday matinee the Poll Players will
have another opportunity of displays
ing their talents in the presentation
of Doris Keanes world wide success
