Strategy

It now seems to be pretty well agreed that the allies on the western front were outgeneralled as well as out-numbered in the first two big offensives of their German foes We had just as well acknowledge the corn. Ludendoerf, the brains of the German staff, had evolved four great prin- ciples of strategy which he applied with great success in the early months of this year They broke entirely away from ac- cepted methods of this war and were posi- lively daring in their originality, and cer- tainly successful in their demonstration. The first of these discarded entirely the old idea of merely advancing to the second or third lines. Ludendoerf insisted that his men advance until they had gone through the ARTILLERY LINES. A five mile ad- vance was the least that could be made with any assurance of success, he argued. Again light artillery must be kept abreast of the advance of the infantry, and the Ger mans solved this with a short mortar gun of most simple construction and large cali bre. More important still, and a principle in which the allies have been weak and erring ever since the war began, was the rapid advance of supports to aid the storm ing troops hold and widen their captured positions. In fact, the Germans had made mechanical as well as mental progress dur ing the past winter when Hindenburg ot the fierce moustache and the wooden head had been supDlanted by the keen, alert, satur- nine, cruel, relentless Ludendoerf, and these things, together with their concentra- ton of numbers in certain sectors and then vast achievements from the east, made possible their long advances in the first three great offensives But the fourth and fifth offensives, upon Rheims and Com peigne, were quickly stopped and finally shattered without material gains. Why! Because the allied command had solved the system and organized to meet 1t. Foch IS some strategist himself, having no rival m Europe. unless it be this same Ludendoert' and hence the tactics that won so much ground before Cambrai and Armentieres and the Chemin des Danes failed utterly before Rheims and Compeigne. But the greatest offensive of all is now long past due. Not until it has been launched and checked will 1t be possible to estimate the crest of the German tide and predict with any certainty the trend of this year cam paign and the turning of this tide back towards the east

THE VEST A NoNEssENTIAL?
CFrom the cleveland Plain Dealer)

0From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Along with other non-essentials the mas culine vest. is threatened by the apostles ot conservation. The military simplicity ot the two-piece suit is crowding the vest to the sartorial wall. The man who loves com @ort doffs his vest when the mercury goes up and dons it reluctantly when the mer- c,,rv ooes down. Now with the cost ot clothes going up and the materials growing scarcer. the utility of the vest from the dress reform point of view becomes questionable,
 This is not the first time the vest has been attacked. Its enemies have called It a survival of the antique and rellc ot the age of the superfluous. The fact that It IS a descendant of the cuirass of chivalry doesn protect it. The vest, or walstcoat' may have glorified a Brummel or domln- ated Weller, or added a specialized dig, nity to the clergy, but this makes no appeal to the conserving iconoclast.
 In itself 1t will be admitted that the vest is not thing of beauty. When it doesn sag it ususly bulges, and rarely knows a golden mean. Its good points are largely emphasized by being hidden. It docs well enough for carrying loose change and It serves on occasions as Q background tor neatly taped watch chain.
 At the same time it will be hard tor the masculine nature to give up a friend with whom 1t has held such intimate relations But there can be no hard and fast rule about

PLEASANT LITTLE PEACE TERMS

Great Britain must turn over its war fleet to Germany, return Gibraltar to Spain and restore Egypt and the Suez canal to Turkey. Great Britain, France and the United States must pay Germany an indem- nity of at least $45 ,000,000,000. Belgium and French occupied territory must be sur rendered to Germany.
 These are the conditions contained in the German peace program published in the Nachrichten of Goerlitz, Prussia, by Count Roon, member of the Prussian house of lords, according to Havas News agency dispatch from Basel, Switzerland. Count Roon says Germany Is entitled to the following terms because of its strength and until they are realized there shall be no armistice and no cessation of submarine warfare:
 Annexation of Belgium with administrative autonomy in the interior.
 Independence of Flanders.
 Annexation of the entire Flanders coast, in- cluding Calais.
 Annexation of the Briey and Longwy basins and the Foul. Belfort and Verdun regions east ward
 Restitution to Germany of all her colonies, including Kao Chow
 Great Britain to cede to Germany such naval bases and cCaling stations Germany desig- mates.
 Great Britain return Gibraltar to Spain cede its fleet to Germany, restore Egypt to Turkey and the Suez canal to Turkes-.
 Greece must be reestablished under former King Constantine with frontiers as before the
 
 Austria and Bulgaria will divide Serva and Montenegro.
 Great Britain, France and the United States must pay all of Germdny's costs, the in demnity being a minimum of S45,0O00OOOOO.
 They also must agree to deliver war mate rials immediately.
 France and Belgium to remain occupied at their expense until the conditions are car ried cut.
 And only crushing blow on the battle field can drive these peace terms from the German mind!

Russia goes steadily from bad to worse. She has not onyl ceased to be of any aid to her former allies, but is now positive menace. If she were neutral nation it would not be so bad, but she is merely German vassal or dependency. The Prus- sian has seized her richest provinces, her seaports, her ships, her oil wells, her fields, her factories, her forts and her munitions of war. Worst of all, he has taken over her platinum deposits in the Oral noun tains. This is the hardest blow of all. Plat mum is necessity of war. It plays vital part in the making of high explosive. Vel, it now seems that over 90 per cent of the worlds platinum product comes from Rus sia. Lenine has been of more help to the kaiser than ever Hundenvurg has been. Why the allies should hesitate for mo- ment to intervene in Russia Is past under standing. China has million and Japan a half million soldiers available for Siberia. They would be able to worry Germany more than little as she lioks the Russian platter. Every day Of delay seems to bring fresh news of German seizures and Bolshe- wiki treacheries and the further sinking or Russia into state of famine, violence and despair.

ORGANIZING LABO R ASSETS OF STATE
 COMMENCED
District Organizers Have Been Appointed and Approval Is Waited From Washington;
 State Divided Into Districts

Work of organizing the labor re- sources of the state is now going for ward under the supervision of Thomas J. Croaff, state labor commissioner. Three district organizers have been appointed whose names will be made public as soon as they are confirmed at Washington. These men will organ iez the whole state. working in unison with the director in each county.
 The county directors will be chair man of a volunteer advisory commit tee, known as the labor district com mittee, on which capital and labor will have equal representation. It will be the duty of this committee to see that an equal distribution of labor is main tained in its county, preference being shown to essential industries.
 The needs of the farmers will be supplied by means of the volunteer agents appointed in each branch of the county farm bureau. These men will be volunteers and are called the farm labor reserve agents of the depart ment of labor. They will cooperate with the farmers in the distribution of ranch labor
 LAdlAh IT, T oAhNAs NAAaAA OA III MaricOpa county farm bureau, has been appointed colunteer agent of the United States public service reserves in the farm labor. He will have charge of the organization of the vol unteer agents of the farm bureau.
 It will be the duty of the depart ment of agriculture to determine the needs of the farmers and of the depart ment of labor to fill them. In this cooperation the greatest efficiency can be reached by both departments.
 The war industries board is working out a survey of the state, dividing the industries in the order of their esse-s- tiality, for the use of the department of labor in distributing employment. The great industries of the state, min ing, agriculture and railroads, are classed as very essential to the con duct of the war.
 \ survey is also being made to show the number of workers in each class of industry and the percentage engaged in war work.

ORPHAN BOY LOANS HIS MONEY ID
 UNCLE SAM
Alexander Potter Glad to Be Able to Buy Baby Bond With His Pennies; Makes Purchase Yesterday

An example of patriotism wor- thy of emulation by the people of this district is that of Alexander Potter, aged 13 years, an orphan who lives at Lowell. He entered the Phelps Dodge store yesterday and bought a baby bond amount ting to $4.19. with his savings.
 Though he had saved the money @ few cents at a time he could not be comfortable when he knew that his Uncle Sam needed funds so badly.
 'I haven't got much but the governments certainly welcomed to this" said the lad as he handed over bis money and received the stamp in return.
 "I felt like applauding him as he went out of the store" said one clerk who had witnessed the in- cident.
