ADJUSTMENTS
'AfY FOUR YEARS m GERMANY.

At a. recent reunion and supper at
the Harvard club, Theodore Roose-
welt told the gathering of New York
ers that no ambassador he could re-
call. except Charles Francis Adams,
who represented the United States In
London during the Civil war, had oc-
cupied a post as difacult as Mr.. Ger
ards at Berlin.
Mr.. Gerard's interpretation-of Ger.
many, Col. Roosevelt said, should have
made German-Americans aware that
they could not keep up an ..ambidex-
ferrous relation" He concluded:
Germany knows the wooden Euns
and the dummy carriages. II we try
to conceal our biunders in the day Of
battle, Well find the only ones fooled
are ourselves"
That Nj. Gerard's position at the
imperial court Of Germany. was indeed
difficult and that America did every
thing that q nation could possibly do
to keep out OF the war without dis
honor Is poignantly shown in the big
Aim production Of Mr.. Gepard's book,
my -Four Years in Germany"
The film goes back to the very be-
ginning Of the war cloud in Germany
and shows with pitiless clarity the
whole series Of incidents that forced
America into the battle for the safety
of the world. \

Today's War
Summary
(By the Associated Press.)

Severe battles are brewing on the
several fighting fronts. All indica-
lions point to an early resumption of
heavy fighting on the western line. In
Italy the mountain zone is again the
scene of infantry operations.
Tension is increasing along the
British front in France as the
crescendo Of the German artillery fire
mounts higher and higher. From
Ypres to Rheims, the big guns are
buster than they have been for some
days and tho Germans probably are
preparing to react strong against the
allied nibbling tactics which cost
them important points last week.
The German command is known to
have large forces in readiness on the
main battlef1elds Of France. They
may strike anywhere on the 200 mile
main front as their communications
give them much elasticity of move
ment. 1t is expected also that the
blow when and where it does come,
will be the mightiest the enemy can
make.
Unconcerned apparently about the
German plans, the French continue
to perfect their defensive positions
between the Aise and the Marine.
Southeast of the forest of Villers-
Cotterets they have extended their
line and taken 265 prisoners while
north of the forest 100 Germans were
taken in a small advance near St.
Pierre Aigle. The enemy did not re-
act strongly and the French hold
their new positions firmly.
Along the line northwest Of
Chateau-Thierry, where Americans
hold q sector, the Germans are re-
ported concentrating troops and sup
plies. Aerial fighting has beer Sc
we're near h American lines. It is
not unlikely the Germans may plan to
give he Americans a hard blow in
payment for the recent American
successes on this front.
West of Brenta. General Diaz is
preparing for eventualities by
tunity offers. East Of Asiage troops
have ~re-occupied the height Of
Monte di valbella, capturing 500
prisoners. Strong enemy attempts to
retake the height were hurled back.
Nearer the Brenta the Italians took
thirty prisoners in gaining a fortified
point on Sasso Rosso. Vienna says
the Italians were thrown out Of the
Austrian first line on Monte Di VAL
bella and that further attempts to ad-
vance were checked.
German air raids against Paris
continue but in three attempts last
week and two Sunday-Monday night
the enemy caused no great damage
and few casualties. The latest efforts
to penetrate the defences Of the
French capital were made late Sum
day night and early Monday. The
first failed. On the second several
bombs We're dropped on the capital.

Something very drastic must be
done by the government to put an end
to the exasperating food conditions
prevailing at Lindau and the adjacent
localities.
In these parts hundreds Of male and
female workers employed from ten to
twelve hours daily in the Reutin and
Lech factories are unable 10 obtain
food for breakfast, while visitors tax
ing the cure at Bad Schachen regale
themselves to their hearts content
without even ration cards on the finest
victuals, besides sending a rich booty
In eggs, butter, cheese and so forth
to their families in Berlin.
In such circumstances il is hardly
matter for surprise that the local work
ing class population is lncensed to a
dangerous degree. not only against the
wealthy hoarders and visitors. but also
against the authorities. who do not
raise finger to stop this scandalous
state OF affairs.
May the central government take this
well-meant warning in time, and act
before the evaporation Of the workers
rises TO boiling point.
