must have been very much Anti-Irish
and Pro-English, or else our friend,
Johnnie Bull of Crosby, would not
have taken to it so kindly. He goes
on to state that as far .as the freedom
of the seas are concerned, England
has never done anything to jeopardize
the interests Of people who are honest
in their national dealings. Why, my
dear friend we have mad two bloody
wars with England and the last of the
two was because England claimed to

LONDON, July 20.-German airship

British airmen and two zeppeiins were

Denmark. The four hits obtained by
the airmen started FIRE which lasted
half an hour, during which the Zep-

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-A dispatch
to the Italian Embassy to-day says:
italian correspondence from the
French front gives details regarding
the magnificent resistance Of our
troops defending Rheims, commanded
by General Morrone. The brigade
commanded by Peppino Garbaldi has
particu arly distinguished itself. Last
Wednesday the Germans occupied vital
positions held by our troops, but were
promptly expelled in furious counter
attacks
Romeo Gallenga, Assistant secre-
tary OF the Interior, returning from
Paris, said concerning his impressions
Of the French front:
1.-The American soldiers fight like
veterans. The French press is enthu-

TIME Germans delay in starting
the offensive which began
on Monday--if indeed this
is another serious attempt at the
offensive and not merely a feint-
has given rise to a vast amount Of
discussion and speculation, not a
line of which is worth writing. The
elements Of the situation are per-
fectly clear and ought to be familiar
to every one.
The enemy had enjoyed for six
months before his great attack on
March 21 a very heavy numerical
superiority, due to the eliminate, !,
of the Russian army. 1t was su
periority far greater than the Allies
ever enjoyed on the Western front
He used his unexpected and very
great advantage for withdrawing
from the front a great number of
men and giving them at his leisure
New-York tribune., 1918-07-21

Speclal training TOR their coming JOB
"a thing the Western Allies were
never able to do, because they never
had sufficient margin Of men to
spare. This advantage came at a
time when his heavy artillery had
been nearly doubled by the Russian
surrender of material and by the
consequent Teuton victory at Capo-
retto last autumn.
On account Of all this, when the
enemy attacked in March he OBJ
tanned striking success and almost
succeeded in restoring the war of
movement. The second attack in
the north produced a lesser but still
considerable success; his third at
tack month later broke the line
completely between Rheims and
Scissors and reached the Marne
the fourth attack, on the Matz, was
checked with very heavy loss. The
months delay which followed aztec
the battle of the Matz. when rather
more than twenty divisions were en-
gagged without results and with
heavy losses, is amply accounted for
by the necessity for recruitment.
Time an Ally
OF the Entente
] Meanwhile every day that passed
Or that now passes reduces the nu-
merical superiority upon which
alone the enemy had relied. The
destruction which his best shock
troops have suffered cannot be re-
paired by mere hospital returns or
the drafting in of the young classes
in other words, his chance of sue
cess gets less as time passes.
Therefore, the enemy's attack
whether this is it or not--will, if he
intends to maintain the offensive
come at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity. Whether this is that oppor
tunity or not we do not know, be-
cause we are not possessed of the
figures on his hospital returns or his
casualty lists. We can only guess,
and in guessing note that after a
heavy action delay of at least a
month has always been impose
upon the enemy when he has been
checked.
OF the sector he may choose for
his misunderstanding, again, the
possibility that the present action is
g feint-the general student of the
war can in the nature of things
know nothing. The enemy prepares
material for such a movement in
many sectors, and it is demonstrable
that he only decides at the last mo-
ment upon which one he will con-
centrate. Proof of this is in th<,
fact that his attack Of May 27 was
made upon divisions which had only
just been sent to rest in quiet sec
tor of the line, so that the decision
to attack that particular line canno.
have been taken more than four or
five days before the attack was
made. The same thing is true, of
course, of the local offensives under
taken everywhere along the line bv
the Allied supreme command. The
German never knows where the next
enc will develop. Discussion of tha.
point therefore is futile at this
stage.
Politics Will Play
Important Part
There remains a third point i.
regard to German plans, which is
the question whether the enemy will
choose finally to renew his offensive
with full force or to stand on the
defensive. Every military argumene
is in favor of his renewing the Of

st. Francis Business Man May Oppose
Congressman Connolly.

James H Egan of St. Francis, Chey-
enne county, may start trouble for
Congressman John r. Connolly this
year. Egan is a well known ST. Fran
els business man and has for many
years been prominent in Democrat af-
fairs in the Sixth district. According
to reports from st. Francis. Egan may
oppose Congressman Connolly in the
August primaries.
Cheyenne county has never landed
a man on the state or congressional
ticket Now an organized boom is be-
ing launched for the St. Francis man,
according to reports from the extreme
northwest county. Egan has not made
a definite announcement of his plans,
altho it is reported he may consent to
run.
More or less trouble has been stored
up for Congressman Connolly since
his vote against the war declaration at
the opening of the special session in
April last year. Connolly, however,
was reelected to congress by nearly
1900 plurality, following a kept us

KANSAS SHEEP STATE
Farmers Are Rapidly Getting Into the
Industry, Expert Says.

That Kansas is particularly adapted
to the production of mutton and wool
is the opinion of A. NJ. Paterson, as
sistant professor of animal husbandry
in the kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
people are rapidly learning to ap-
preciate the fact that lamb and NUT
ton are the most delicious, nutritious
and healthful of all meats" said Fro
fessor Patterson. This growing ep-
probation is creating insistent demand
which, coupled with the increase in
production, has made prices high and
has opened new opportunities for
profitable sheep husbandry on the av-
erage farm.
Formerly sheep production was
largely range industry but since the
ranges have been so materially re-
duced sheep production is becoming q
farm proposition and in the future
will become more and more a part OF
the activities of the general farm.
sheep are noted scavengers. AS
weed eXterminators they have no
equal. They turn waste products into
cash, thus saving feeds of commercial
value and at the same time increas-
ing the fertility. of the soil.
THE belief that sheep cannot be
pastured with other live stock is a
mistake. Where grass is abundant
they will Craze together nicely, and
sheep will eat the plants that the other
stock leave, which tends to give the
pasture a cleaner appearance"

BOwlerS Want To Do Their
Part in the War.
Every Pin Buster Asked To
Give q Dollar.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Jan. THE bowlers of
the country are going to do their bit
At meeting held here recently
representatives from various Eastern
bowling organizations formed COM
mittee to start the ball rolling for a
National Bowlers' War Relief Fund of
81, 100000, and reports from all sec
tons of the country indicate that the
pin knights are going to register 4
ten strike
The idea of the fund originated with
Joe Thum, veteran New York alley
owner and bowler. Joe figures that
the thousands of bowlers turnout the
by raising a fund for the benefit of
bowlers who are injured or crippled
in war service, and a canvass of
bowlers and alley owners here con-
WINGED Joe that it would be COM
paratively easy matter to interest the
country in the move.
Make Dollar Assessments.
Thum's plan has been thoroly
worked out. 1t is proposed that every
alley owner and bowler in the coun-
try be solicited for 81 each and the
fund so placed that not a dollar re-
ceived will go for other than the pur-
pose for which it is intended. Bowl
ers here say that it will be easy to
| raise 81 900. 100000 if all bowlers will
give 81. Inc money received Will pS
placed in trust and will accumulate
thousands in interest alone.
While the plan is one which will
benefit bowlers only, it is certainly a
| worthy one, and it should encourage
| other organizations to adopt measures
along the same line. Hundreds of
bowlers will be among those called to
the colors. Hundreds are already in
| the service, and should they be Grip
! pied they will be taken care of by the
members of their own fraternity.
They will not be forced to depend on
outside sources for aid. It's a great
move and certainly a worthy one.

for thirty days, will be quartered in
university dormitories and be retained
without cost either to themselves or
the government.
Men will be detailed later from the
training camps to take courses in the
maintenance of airplanes and field
