COSTA RICA'S DECLARATION.

Costa RIGA is the second Central
American State to declare war against
Germany. Four Iatin-AmerIcan nations
are now enrolled as full members OF the
democratic alliance. Cuba, Brazil and
Nicaragua having preceded Costa hca
1t has been widely stated that Costa
Rica is the twenty-frst Ally. This
enumeration includes Panama and Guate-
mala among the beligerents. 1t is
incorrect. Both Panama and Guatemala
made anti-German declarations, but stop
ped lust snort of formal belligerency
Honduras has severed diplomatic relations
with Germany, and the sole Central
American republic maintaining asemblanee
of true neutrality is Salvador.
The action of Costa Rca is particularly
pleasing in view of the fact that the
present Costa Rica government has been
suspected of lnfriendliness toward the
United States The proximity Of Costa
RIGA to Panama is another reason why
out-and-out belligerency is highly desir-
able.
OF all the Latin-American nations
there remain only two, Mexico and
Colombia, that are not either actively
or passvely in sympathy with the United
States in the world war,-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

The German IrolTcnsive.

| What has become of the great super
offensive the Germans promised to launch
| against the Allies on the western 'front.'
that mighty, conquering and exterminat
ing blow that was to drive the gcplgger
| British, the verstrafed French and the all
too-contemptuous Americans into the
lowest sub-cellar of the Bottomless Pit
Hotel-or words to that effect?
If the recent German attacks con-
stituted it then 1T is like the SHOWS OF
Yesterday gone and forgotten. If 1t is
still to come then indeed is there some
| thing wrong i'll the Hun cosmos, some
| thing so serious that the Allies arc doubt
less hunting around for it,
/ 1t is inconceivabe that the vast prep
arations of men, guns and material the
| Germans made for their movement were
| expended in the picayune attacks, news
| of which has been coming through for
some days sheer wasted effort, no more,
no less 1t is equally inconceivable that
| these preparations were made for no other
purpose than the hoodwinking of the All
| Highest already much hoodwinked sub
jects-the cost in precious time, money
and labor would be too great.
Remains then only the hypothesis that
n great offensive was to have been started
and that circumstances have thrown
a monkeywrcnch into tho machinery,
tremendously big one too, What It is can
only be conjectured- the death of liir.len
burg, the real gcnir:s of the Hun military
tribe, internal troubles of which the out
side world know not. vision of too
solid wall of defence before them 10 risk
their declining power against dozen
things
But every second the blow Is delayed
serves TO strengthen the allied line and
makes the success Of the drive less likely,
reducing the offensive to the class Of the
inoffensivc II might have been the Huns
golden opportunity. the ono great chance
before America might is concentrated
and the Germans game Is up Tor good. II
this be true the world has lot TO be
thankful for. because the Hun is not tho
man TO make opportunities for himself as
Is the Frcnchman the Britlsher or the
American lie must have something
machnc-made or provided extraneously

And Providence he thanked, there are
no more Belgiums for him to violate
