HAVE THEY QUIT?

1t looks as though Bull Hndenburg and his
associates. after their many failures to crush
the Allies, have reached the line of discourage
ment and indecision as to whether they should
quit or not. Il will be remembered that these
great militarists had put their heads fpig heads
together and decided that they would eat their
dinner in Paris the first Of April Evidently
they overlooked the fact that they had opponents
10 their scheme. who. not only prevented them
10 reacn their objective point. out improved
their positions meanwhile. Which was hard
oioW to the pig-headed Huns. But that was rot
all, for they were doomed to meet further dis
appointments.
The recent British operations against their
submarines have caused CONSERVATION all over
The daily progressive-miner., 1918-05-22

Germany. So much so that it caused the
suspension Of work on the construction Of more
Submarines. It is admitted that many sub
marines have been destroyed Of late. One whole
squadron Of submarine vessels has failed to re-
turn after q cruise in the Atlantic.
The extreme reticence of the British admir-
atty as to the fate of those vessels and crews,
seem to have gotten on the nerves of every
German. including Bill and Bull. This may
account for the delay in prosecuting the drive
against the Allies Bull is no longer feared. and
he has no backing-the submarines are gone.
These facts and suggestions. together with
the closing of the north sea between Scotland
and Norway and the recent successful raids upon
Zeebrugge and Ostend. have rendered the Boches
practically helpless. which condition they appear
to be realizing in all its fullness. Now comes
the report that the masses at home are starving
thank goodness. Really. it looks as though
Bill and Bull had about wound up their little ball
of yarn.

Red TapeDelaying

Process Is Tedious

Red tape, that tangled mass OF Of
fetal routine which delayed war work
at important periods of the struggle,
is tending 20 slow up rehabilitation.
General March, chief of staff, is
doing his utmost to speed up the
discharges in this country. But de-
spite this there has been a constant
flow of orders and counter orders.
Every man has to 20 through 2
tedious process Of ticketing and
checking. For instance, in one
branch of the war department mon
who had IN applications for dis
charge filled out the proper papers.
The next day orders had been chang
ed and they had TO fill out second
set OF blanks almost similar. And,
then a few days later. they had 10
fill out another set of blanks which
added little to the others.
This experience is being repeated
in other branches Of the service.
Orders" are orders in the army
and there Is little latitude for indi-
