PRETTY BABIES IN "OH, BABY
Marcus Revue, Famous for Celebrat.
ed Peach Chorus of Delec-
table GirlhOOd

The eternal Eve has been raising
hob with mems affections since the
rattler started in the fruit business
: in the Garden of Eden. One of the
fair sex is generally sufficient to make
most any mere male sit up and take
notice. When thirty or forty of them
bless 'em, romp out before the op-
tics what will happen? This query is
suggested by the advent of the Mar
Gus Musical Comedy company in "Oh,
Baby" at the Temple Theater Mon
day, December 30th.
There are nearly a double score OF
ravishing beauties with this organi-
zation. A. B. Marcus has spared
neither time, pains or money in as
sembling a congress of young women
who are not only skilled in this ari
: of Terpsichore but where persona
pulchritude can not but assail the eye
with smashing force.
Youth in all its grace is typifeo
by the Marcus girls. Few of them
have attained their majority. Many
are still of school age. To provide
for their education and care two
tutors and three chaperones, under
whose supervision they are constant
ly, are permanent members of the
Marcus staff.
AS interesting as are the fair la
dies themselves to those of the mas
culine gender are the hundreds OF
gorgeous gowns, frocks, costumes anc
dresses they wear To womankino

Mr.. Marcus is able to maintain
such an exceedingly superior collec-
tion of stage beauties because of his

THE COMING OFFENSIVE

Charles Edward Russell, who was 8 member of the Root commission to Russia, seems to have suffered from a case of nerves in reading the report of the formal cessation of hostilities on the part of Russia. MT. Russell though by no means alone in his opin- ion-predicted that the Russian dem ocracy would continue to fight with the allies. After seeing that prophecy fulfilled, with the reverse English, he might have been just a trifle more cautious about forecasting defeat for the allies this year.
 The weight of military opinion, ex- cept in Germany, is that the much ad- vertised grand offensive of the kais- CTS great Hindenburg," will prove another Marne or Verdun for German autocracy. No sane person seeks to underestimate the possibility of ser ious German offensive in the West, now that the eastern front is no long er a source of concern for the central powers. But if the allies have failed to gather a preponderance of men and materials on the western front during the past three years their whole mili- tary system has broken down. That affairs there are in such state is in- conceivable.

CONCRETE SHIP PLAN FEASIBLE

Hudson Maximum, the eminent American inventor, told a govern ment commission a short time ago that the construction of concrete ships was one of the solutions of the U-boat menace. He emphasized phy- sical reasons why a concrete hull is adapted to withstand the shock of a torpedo. It is not invulnerable but it's quality of toughness gives it un- usual resisting power.
 The concrete ship is no longer an experiment. It is the evolution of practical idea. The Norwegians are the pioneers in concrete shipbuilding and are proving that a "stone will float" One of the Norwegian ships re- gently entered a Canadian port. A London writer. describing the Nor wegian experiments, pointed out that it took only three days to build, one vessel and that after "setting" fol two weeks it was ready for the water which. incidentally, Is entered up. side down, fighting itself according to schedule. ....
 The United States government re
Valdez daily prospector., 1918-03-12

gards the concrete ship plan as feas- ible. Contracts for number of con- crete vessels have been awarded. Tn a crisis when the world-in the words of Lloyd George-.is calling for "ships, more ships and still more ships," the time element is the big factor in fleet building. The moulded vessel possesses a decided advantage over other types in that it can be completed in a few weeks and it is not only possible. or highly probable, that large numbers of ships of this type will soon Le sailing the seas.
 The practic aLility of the concrete ship idea of more than ordinary in terest iu Northwestern Washington, where the ma ufaCture of cement is an important industry. The develop ment of the idea should result in the establishment there-where concrete is readily accessible-of a concrete shipbuilding plant.

It is the view of military experts at Washington that Germany cannot mass more than 2.500,000, or at the most 3,00O,OO0 men, in the West. Alp parently, however, these figures do not take into account the 100000 Austro-G Germans in Russia whom MT. Russell sees returning to the battle line. If offensive is launched within the next few weeks-and it may be expected between now and April, de- pending on the condition of the wea- ther and Germany's preparations the difficulty of getting these prison CTS in line is obvious. The point also is made that Germany does not de- sire to have these prisoners repatriat- ed because of the effect their radical views might have on the German army.
 In a recent statement Secretary Baker asserted that the allies in the West were superior to their foes in both men and guns. The same convic- tion was expressed by Major General Maurice in London few days ago. In other words, the allies believe they have a preponderance of war sinews, and not only can prevent any mater ial gains being made by von linden burg but can win the decision them selves In this connection it is import ant to recall that the allies have main- tained the offensive in the West for more than a year because of the su- periority of their armies.
 Of course, Germany's aim IS to hit before American weight is thrown in- to the scales. But that weight Is be- ing made more ponderable daily. Moreover. England has called up ad- ditional men for continental service and France has large army in the field. The crisis in Italy is by no means over, but the Italians are more than holding their own now and undoubt- edly are strengthening their position
 
 while the winds are in their favor.
 From the standpoint of defensive warfare, 1t does not seem reasonable that the allies will be able to hold their ground. With a superiority of materials the allies were unable to smash through the German lines. It is hardly logical to believe that the Germans, with fewer men than their enemies, can do so.
 Without question the belligerents are on the eve of the decisive opera tions of the war. The loss in life and money will dwarf tile staggering sac rifices already made. But we see no ground for pessimism of the Russell brand.
