Bisbee daily review., 1918-04-19

To pacifists and German sympathizers who dare still prate of Germany's just and gentle peace terms is referred the Prussian
 peace treaty with pitiful Russia, which gives you a clear idea of just what Ger many considers nice and friendly peace agreement. By the terms of this generous peace Germany takes one-third of Russia railways, three-quarters of her iron ore, four-fifths of her coal deposits, fifty-six million of her population, three hundred thousand square miles of her territory and 574 breweries Quite nice little peace, if you please. Lenine IS one great little peace maker. Just one more such peace and Russia will look like a Sandwich Islander on clam shell.

LIBERTY BOND SLACKERS

Purchasers of Liberty Bonds may be slackers The possession of one or more bonds does not entitle the holder to exon eration from the stigma of being stacker. Only when person has purchased Liberty Bonds to his full ability, can it be said that he is not stacker.
 Liberty Bond slackers have been found in the Warren District. They are of the under-purchasing variety, of the clique and caste which buys one-tenth what 1t should buy in order to stand on the curb and boast of possession of Liberty Bonds. They have made their money in this district, have ived here for many years, have been supported by the district They refuse to assist the district and thereby aid the nation to their fullest ability, when they are called on to lend to the government.
 Discovery of Liberty Bond slackers in the district was made when it was an nounced that the Honor Roll of bond pur- chasers will be published. Committees canvassing the districts began to receive re- quests not to make public the subscriptions they received The banks were over whelmed with similar requests.
  trict wish his name published in the Honor Roll? Why should he wish to retain secret his subscription to the Third Liberty issue? Why should he request his pledge to this greatest of causes suppressed?
 In the face of the government request that every name and pledge to the Third Liberty issue be published in community Honor Rolls there Is but one answer to these questions. The man who would keep secret the sum he has subscribed IS a self-convicted Liberty Bond stacker. He knows deep down in his own heart that he has not pledged to the government as much as he can afford. He Is conscious that he Is shifting the burden to others. And, he knows that if his subscription Is published others will know he IS a stacker. in the face of these facts, he takes advan- take of banking courtesy" to request that he be protected from public whose right 1t IS to know.
 Officers in charge of the Third Liberty Loan campaign for this district have an nounced that they will publish all subscrip- tions which come into their hands. They have declared themselves in favor of rec ognIZlng the government request. In the end, they will probably have in hand every subscription made in the district through any source. Among their duties is the dis covery of slackers in this drive. They do not believe that any purchaser of Liberty Bonds is due the courtesy of suppression. Rather, they believe each individual should buy to the limit, and be proud to have a place in the Honor Roll. And, they are looking with suspicion on those who have requested that their names be not pub hshed
 Now is no time for Procrastination, nor for doing just your bit. The call of the government IS for everything you can spare. Give 1t freely and gladly! Be proud that your name Is on the honor roll, if 1t be for one small bond or many large ones! Be sure you have purchased to the limit!

THE ALLIES TRUMP CARD

Losses of positions sustained by the British armies and French in the great of fensive may have been prepared for in Feb ruary and may have been deliberate stra- tegic moves. At any rate, as late as March l, the allies were prepared to sacrifice DOT tions of their lines in the drive. The off cial British war document, The War in February, report of progress during that month and forecast of days to come, speaks of the German plans for an often sive, and hints broadly at allied plans to meet the drive.
 The movement of troops continued steadily (onto the Western front) into February" says the statement, by which time 1t was known that Germany had grouped great number of divisions, per haps over TO, from units taken out of Russian and Italian lines.
 This statement of facts was made twenty-one days before the offensive was actually launched, and indicates at the least that the allies were amply forewarned of possibilities of such an offensive, Con- tinuing, the report says:
 There is no real foundation for the supposition that Germany can predomin- ate in men, munitions and guns on the wes- tern front, or, at any rate, preaominate in such fashion as to overwhelm the entente The accumulation of men has been carried on steadily but early in February Germany had not yet superiority over the French and British alone quite apart from the Bel gians Portuguese and Americans The number of German divisions may possibly increase, but even as things are now, Ger many cannot hope to marshal numbers enough to dominate the situation entirely, and it must be remembered that after she has made her supreme effort she will, as far as man-power goes, be exhausted. She may go into the battle with her full strength but 1t will be her final strength. What gaps are torn in her line will almost certainly be permanent gaps. She will not have adequate reserves to fill them:
 The report here launches into discus sion of reserves of the French and British, forces and strength of the Americans and the possibilities of when and where the Germans might attack It predicts possible offensives on several fronts and then de clares:
 The allies have prepared their defen- sive. on modern conditions and they are ready to lose portions of their lines under the first impact of the assaults The loss of such territory will have but slight bear ing on the battle, the results of which will be decided on what follows the first move ments of the offensive
 Granting that the German offensive has fully started and with the possibilities of the battle waging for the remainder of the summer as did Ypres, these statements of the British war office are refreshing. They at least give assurance that much of the territory so far taken by the Germans was sacrificed for purpose, and that the allies have still in their hand the trump cards.

Stories from the battle-fields in Elan ders telling about the people made home less should certainly be stimulus toward the purchase of Liberty bonds by the American public.

becomes more and more ap-
parent that the White Sox will
have more than an even chance to

OF all the clubs in the American
league the White Sox alone have
been scarcely touched by the war
while the other seven have been
more or less disrupted by the en-

Rowland's big problem last year
was his pitching staff. Outside of
Cicotte and Faber he has no con-
sistently reliable pitchers. Will
Jams and Danforth were about his
best bets and they perhaps will
be able to come thru with some
good pitching this year. Russell

Chicago Takes Up Ice Tennis

When New York tennis stars,
tired of simple skating a year ago,
when the skating fad had reached
its height in New York, they de-
cided to make the sport more in
teresting by playing tennis on ice.
The rules OF outdoor tennis
were revised to meet the changed
conditions and regular tourna-
ments were played in which some
OF the leading players of the coun-
try took part.
The popularity Of the game in
creased by leaps and bounds and
spread to other cities. This year
the Chicago Tennis club, one Of
the biggest tennis organizations
in the middle west, took up the
game.
