On Land and Sea

THE war fronts on land present a
picture Of feverish activity this week
calculated to dampen the ardent peace
hopes Of all the belligerent peoples. Air
raids-three on London, one on Paris
and others in Italy entailing American
casualties-arc reported The Italians, in
an unusual winter stroke, cut off the dan
gerous salient driven by the Germans
between the Brenta and Piave rivers.
In the West air activity and trench
raids foreshadow major operations. Posi-
tive proof that American troops are now
holding a sector Of the French front is
seen in a new German attack in force on
small trench salient, in which Americans
lose two killed, four wounded and one miss
ing. Other notable events in this field are
the slight wounding Of Major General
Leonard Wood, the opening Of the Allied
War Council in Paris, and the stir in
England following attacks upon the eff
cheney Of the army.
At sea the fallacy of judging the u
boats success by watching British losses
alone is again exposed While the Brit
ish lost but fifteen vessels, including nine
large, the Italians lost two large and two
small, and the French three small, making
a total that approaches the general aver
age Of the last year. Other Allied mis-
fortunes at sea include the sinking Of the
$4,000 ton Cunarder Andania and the es-
cape Of the old Goeben after its appar-
ent destruction at Constantinople. Spain
Is aroused by the sinking Of a fair-sized
ship.
On the favorable ledger the Allies
write the loss Of two German destroyers
the acquisition Of ships from Sweden by
the United States, and the announcement
that sixteen Of the German liners seizec
by the United States has already landed
large bodies of American troops II
France. In addition, Allied shipping eff
cheney is helped by the establishment Of
centralized control of transatlantic ship
ping by the new Ship Control COMMITTEES
at Washington.

produced in his answer to President Will
son." says The New York Times" There
is hardly a dissenting view. The camp
letters" went straight home, in the view
of the press, so that the Senator in his
speech proved himself not the assalant
but the protector and friend of the Presi-
dent" according to The New York Sum-"
by protecting Mr.. Wilson against the "con-
cealments and misrepresentation as to
war preparations of which the latter has
plainly been the victim"
Notwithstanding these views, there is
another section of the press which thinks
Senator Chamberlain fell down." "The
New York World" regards Secretary
Bakers speech as "a complete and over
whelming answer" "The Oklahoma CITY
Oklahoman" says Senator Chamberlain
came out "thc poorest kind Of second"
THE Senator is the victim of the same
lack of perspective that has marred the
military committees Investigations as
whole" says The Springfield Republi-
can" There are many similar views
The story of this eventful week would
not be complete without some reference to
politics. For it is the general view of the
press that lot Of politics has been mixed
up in the War Council fight, all protesta-
tions on both sides Notwithstanding THE
Presidential campaign of 1920 is now on"
sarcastically remarks "The San Francisco
Chronicle" "For the time the war with
Germany is subordinated." This view
could be cited in many papers, partlcu-
larly with reference to Colonel Roosevelt,
"Gumshoe Bill" Stone, Congressional and
Presidential hopes, the leadership of the
Republican party, and even to govern
ment contracts" Oddly enough, however,
there is hardly paper which would not
have things as they are. The agitation
is good thing, is the view-better for the
war through the publicity given, bettex
for everybody.

the Secretary Of War"
"Alert questioners of the Secretary"
adds "The New Haven Register" "have
already ascertained that Mr.. Stettinius is
to have no real power" ",rhe stimulation
of surrender by Mr.. Baker by no means
meets the situation. Senator Chamber
lain must fight on" says "The New York
Sum-" "Mr. Baker admitted the principle
of coordination" agrees The New York
Tribune. "Why not apply it to the whole
structure? Those who know both the gov
ernment and Stettinius, on hearing the
news, say: Poor Stettinius!"
Some surprise mingled with raacor is
also expressed at the use made by Secre-
tary Baker of the name of General Wood.
1T must have surprised the committee to
observe the frequency with which the wit
ness referred to Major General Leonard
Wood as the authority" remarks 1.-The
Boston Transcript" Nor was it quite
fair Of Secretary Baker to saddle upon
General Leonard Wood any Of the respon-

chief, and the appearance of famine 80
severe in Russia as to make negligible
the benefits to Germany, so far as food
is concerned, of any possible separate
peace.
To increase the significance of these
events, it is seriously reported from Lon
don that privation throughout Europe is
bringing peace nearer. President Wilson'S
latest address to the food producers Of
this country that their crop in 1918 will
help decide the war, lends weight to TIN,

from Russia this week affords fair test
Of this bold challenge. Foreign Minister
Trotzky twice denounces the greed and
deceit of the Hohenzollerns. At the same
time, reports that the Bolshevik rule is
being seriously threatened are balanced
by the spread Of the Red Guard and Bol-
shevik control in Finland, which has ap-
pealed in vain to Sweden for aid. More
over, the Bolsheviki appear victorious this

The Personal Touch

THE Importance of the weeks develop
i mcnts in the "war council" situation
at Washington might be indicated in two
ways. When metropolitan newspapers
suffering from the high cost of white
paper will in ons week print in full page
after page Of speeches by Senator Cham
berlain and Secretary Baker-the latter
running some $4,000 words-no act of
judgment is needed to show that some
thing big is occurring in connection with
this country's management Of the war.
To the casual reader, however, a view
Of the situation in the light of "the per-
sonal touch" is recommended. In reply
to President Wilson's assertion that his
New York speech unjustly indicted the
Administrations entire management of
the war, Senator Chamberlain, address,
ing the Senate, defended himself by at
tacking Secretary Baker, declared that
the President was ignorant of real con-
ditions, and, to emphasize "the personal
touch," read some letters from soldiers
families telling of deplorable conditions
in American army camps. The Senate was
moved the galleries sobbed.
Be,ween this speech and the time when,
a week later, Secretary Baker invited
Senator Chamberlain cut to luncheon, a
number of personal touches" Of vary
ing degrees of piquancy appeared. Brief
ly these concerned a speech by Colonel
Roosevelt in which the war cabinet and
a ministry of munitions we're demanded !;
a statement by Representative Mccormick
that Premier Lloyd George last fall had
pointedly inquired concerning the dispo-
stion of Major General Leonard Wood !;
favorable comments on Camp Upton by
reports on camps by Representative
Francis and Surgeon General Gorgas, the
latter blaming camp illness upon over
crowding, and the appointment by Secre-
tAry Baker Of Mr.. z. r. Stettinius, of J..
y. Morgan & Co., as surveyor Of all
purchases for the American armed forces
"a move generally interpreted as Secre-
tary Bakers method of forestalling a
minister Of munitions.
Leading up to his luncheon invitation
TO Senator Chamberlain, Secretary Baker
went upon the stand in his own defence,
and made the fullest statement yet issued
concerning this country's preparations
for war in an effort to justify his right
to the confidence of the country. The de-
tails of Mr. Bakers statement are we'll
known. To top off the Administration
reply to Senator Chamberlain, Mr.. Bakey
then put his feet under the same table
at luncheon with Senator Chamberlain
No mention has been made Of the menu
but at this writing the impression prevails
that the Administration, feeling that Mr.
Baker scored heavily, is prepared to make
concessions.

German Murmurines

THIS formula was vigorously held to In
Il the case Of the weeks peace efforts
by the Central Powers, except that re-
actions for peace from within the sur
rounded countries were more vigorous
than usual. For, just as a blizzard sweeps
eastward from Chocago toward New York,
so the recent unrest in Austria-H Hungary
has this week penetrated Germany. The
Allies were not alone in noting wide
difference between the terms of Count
Czernin and Chancellor Won Hertling,
though skeptical critics point out the in
escapable unity of Germany and Austria
Hungary, as repeatedly announced.
But the Reichstag is reported to have
refused a vote of confidence; Scheide-
mann makes an unusually resounding
speech, predicting the fall Of the Junkers
unless peace is made with Russia; strike,
the proportions of which are gradually
magnified-even to million workers out
appears in Germany, while Socialist
leaders are reported under arrest. The
radical demands by council Of German
workers, as fOllOWS:
"First-Accelerated conclusion of a general
peace without indemnities or annexations.
Observation-Disclosures of workme1f's dele
gates of all the countries in the peace pour

"Fourth-Immediate abolition of the state
Of siege and restoration of the right of pub

thorites, with freedom of the press.

"Sixth--1mmediate release Of all political
prisoners.
"Seventh-Fundamental characterization OF
state institutions.
"Eighth--The institution Of equal electoral
suffrage by direct or secret ballot for every
man and woman in Prussia twenty years
old"
New-York tribune., 1918-02-03

Va tation, it would appear from
news Of the past week that
the "bg push" is over. 1t is a
long way from Senator Chamberlain s
dramatic reply to President Wilson to the
peace-making luncheon engagement of the
Oregon Senator with Secretary Baker,
but so rapid were developments that these
two extremes could be reached within the
space Of a week, with compromise talk dis
placing that of revolt against the Presi-
dent
However, Mr.. C. w. Gilbert, writing
to The New York Tribune, somewhat pes
simistically remarked that "the luncheon
was reminiscent Of another luncheon, that
which Secretary Baker gave Secretary
Lane, after publicly overthrowing the set
tlement of the coal price question which
Mr. Lane had made. After that luncheon
Mr.. Lane remained in the Cabinet and
coal-well, coal remained in the ground" :"
Press comments on the turmoil of the
week, particularly regarding Senator
Chamberlain's speech and Secretary
Bakers reply, are somewhat evenly di-
vided, indicating that in editorial sane
tums at least the war council matter and
fullest confidence in Secretary Baker are
not yet finally settled. Mingled with these
views one naturally finds much comment
on the appointment of Mr.. Stettinius,
General Wood, camp conditions as re-
vealed by Senator Chamberlain and the
inevitable question Of how much partisan
politics is behind the whole outburst.
Secretary Bakers reply to Senator
chamberlain is warmly received by one
section of the press, which believes that
tho Secretary fully demonstrated his
claim to the confidence Of the people.
