ENEMY AIMS TO
]. MAKE GEN. FOCH
SHIFT RESERVES.

Foch cannot move his reserves from
east to west and back again as quick
ly as can the Germans.
The advantage OF concentration
therefore, rests with the latter.
On the other hand any moderate
territorial gain the enemy may make
east of the Aisne-Marne wedge will
be without strategic Importance II
will still further deplete his own re-
serve forces without bringing Paris
or the channel ports any nearer the
Kaiser's grasp.
Slight Progress.
Slight progress by the Germans
may be expected, unless they see that
General Foch has not fallen into the
trap and abruptly halt the offensive.
The attack this morning against
the American positions at Vaux gains
evidence OF being for the moment, at
least, subsidiary to the main OMEN
siVe on the eastern side OF the Aisne-
Marine wedge. II. however. the enemy
suddenly swings his drive from east
to west, the Vaux attack may as
sumo more importance as the begin
ming of another effort TO reach Paris.
The situation, as far as can be seen.

FORMIDABLE ATTACK.

-sSimultaneously with the drive on
re ifty-mile front between Chateau
Thlerry and Maip-de-Massiges, the
Germans attempted a formidable at
tack on the ourcq front. toward La
E'ere-Milon (hfteen miles northwest
" Chateau Thierry).. They encoua-
tered a crushing barrage ana were
unable to debouch from their own po-
sftions.
The main drive appears to be an
attempt BY General Won GaIlwitz's
army. which previously has not been
engaged in the German offensive. to
converge upon Chalons (twenty-four
miles southeast OF Rheims) from sew
erhi points.
There are numerous apparent rea-
sons for the enemy drive, aside from
the immediate objective Of Chalons.
Its obviously a part OF the attempt
ed advance toward Paris The enemy
also hopes to take Rheims, which al
ready Is surrounded on three sides.
And. evidently, Won Gallwitz is seek
ing to enlarge the salient created in
the previous Marne drive.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
PRECEDES ATTACK
By FRED s. FERGUSON,

WITH THE AMERICANS ON THE
MARINE. July 15-(s:1o a m-)-The
Germans attacked the American 20.
sitions in the region OF Vaux 1.-TWO
miles west Of Chateau-Thierry) at
] o'clock this morning, following .
, heavy .bombardment with gas and
high explosives.
The American artillery responded
with a barrage, and at the hour of
cabling the situation Is well in hand
simultaneously, the enemy started
heavy bombardment in the region
Of Jaulgonne (seven miles east Of
Chateau-Thierry, on the north bank
OF the Marne).
While the lighting near Chateau
Thierry was under way, the Germans
began bombarding Meux twenty-five
miles west and south OF Chateau
Thierry) on the road to Paris, with
long range guns.
The weather has cleared and Is
ideal for lighting.
The attack and bombardment ex-
tended over a front OF nearly ten
miles, forming the apex OF the huge
German salient nearest Paris.
The cable was filed before the at
tack had developed sufficiently to per-
init any intimation Of the degree IF
the effort, but apparently It is the
biggest assault attempted by the en-
envy since the lighting which occur
red soon after the Americans entered
the line there.
Yaux, which is one OF the keystones
OF Chateau-Thierry. was captured by
the Americans in 4 recent Franco
American advance. Jaulgonne is the
place where the Germans crossed the
Marne for the first time since the ini-
tial stages OF the war and were hurl-
ed back by the Americans.
Despite The recent heavy rains,
which prevented Infantry operations.
artillery activity has been increasing
in this region for several days past.

YELLOwER THAN YELLOW?

The little "Johnny-come-lately" boys are entitled to all the iron crosses the kaiser would be willing to dish out to them; the better he knew them the more he would load them down with the crosses. The "Johnny-come-late- ly-boys" don't seem to want to be among Pershing's "Johnny-come- early" boys. Don't wait for the draft Volunteer; that's what the most of our boys have done at your age. Our military age, record and all those things are with the war department Thanks for the military age compli- ment, but we'd awfully like to swap our age for your opportunity. A dis play of ignorance never makes us pro. voked-it merely produces feeling of sorrow.

HOW MUCH WILL YOU TAKE?

Really sorry about that "imerous' and "shivering" at draft, but don't worry boy, they won't call you "colonel', they will probably call you "early". Our "Dead Mans Flat" cor. respondent really didn't think of the rear guard Leader outfit when he wrote the little squib, and it is really amusing when you get cold feet and a hot head and doctoring for both at the same time. As for military age,' well, we would be willing to trade plants for your opportunity--and you claim dependencies.
 I have a captains commission have you volunteered? Or are you waiting for the draft to come along and make you fight?
 The political "captaincy" brought nothing with it so far as I am con cerned, except that I could stick around and draw a captains pay; no work; no real doing of the things that could count-and, wouldn't take that kind of money--even from the United States.

SOME AMERICAN "KULTUR?"

The impression is gaining ground that Gov. Hunt is carefully arranging a time for the proposed 'hearing" on the Dr. Blome matter at such a time when the student body will be con- spicuous by their absence; a time when the real live issues brought up by the newly appointed board, have cooled down to "hear-say" evidence and general smoothing over of the conditions which brought about the famous strike of the students at the Normal school.
 Charges are also made by the ad- ministration paper that Dr. Blome has paid no taxes in Coconino county-at least merely nominal taxes in order that he could vote at school elections. If the matter of taxes should be look ed into closely it might create great deal of scandals to office holders, present and past. While Dr. Blome pays from S150 to S175 in taxes in Maricopa county-Tempe; it would not count in Coconino county in a school election-that happens to be the state law. But would you dare look over the records and print list of men who have voted at school cleo tions and point out their qualifica- tions, mental, children or taxes paid There is no use raking up scandal.
 There may have been some connec- tion with the local school election and the dismissal of Dr. Blome. The peo- pie evidently believed that there was reason to prevent the schools from being bartered as political profits to be doled out to the ones who could deliver the most political goods. In that connection the administration paper was right. The fathers and mothers do not send their children to schools in order that they may be bartered and traded politically as the wind may blow. They intend and hope that education is the real purpose, that the young people may go out in the world equipped to fight the great battle of life with broad view of their beloved country; with high aims and hopes, and not with feeling that they are partisans, the creatures of a "kulture" for those who dominated their school career.

 L. E. Tuft, one of the big real estate dealers of Los Angeles, stop ped over here between trains Tuesday while en route home from a trip to Kansas. During his brief stay he took occasion to visit the Cliff Dwell- ings.
 Lou Daugherty left Monday for Dallas, Texas, called there by the ill., ness of his mother, who is not expect ed to live. His mother has been in poor health for some time and this is MT. Daugherty's third trip within the last six months to visit her. The Navajo Copper Go. has leased five of its big tractors to the Baum company at Wickenburg and they will be used for hauling ore, the latter firm having contract with mining company to convey it's ore to the rail- road at Wickenburg. The tractors are being prepared for shipment this week.
 John Lugin, who has been down south for awhile, lastly living at Globe concluded that the warmth down there at this season of the year portended too much for comfort in the summer months, and drove back overland in his car last week. He will probably be back helping to murder pine trees again soon. The big hills are a mag net that few can resist for any length of time.

GOV. HUNT HAS COLD FEET

It is to be regretted that Governor Hunt has found it necessary to inti. innate that the student body at the Normal school and the people of Flag, staff are such an uncomfortable mot that even the "peace officers" of the county are afraid to have public hearing here. Governor Hunt willing ly suggested. that the militia be call ed out to quell the lawful riots" of that the student body might engage in, and now it is evident that he fears that all the "state troops might not be able to protect him and his ap- pointees, should they dare to come to Flagstaff. He evidently wants to be intrenched as far as possible away from the firing line--in his own office 200 miles away.
 Of course, the student body does not belong to the I. w, W.'s---in fact they have not blown up building, or even murdered any inoffensive per son, but think of the slaughter they might inflict if it was combat of brains!
 { Despite the imputation by Governor Hunt that the students and the peo- pie of Flagstaff are lawless body of people of whom the peace officers are very much in dread, his sudden "change of venue" to an air-tight "hearing" in his own office, is only what was anticipated from the start.
 There is every reason to believe the students will conduct themselves in such a manner that even this shallow, political trickery, will not turn them into the lawfully vicious mob" the governor so greatly fears.
