With the British Armies in France, April 2Hinden-
burg and Ludendoff continue to hesitate. They have
been shifting about for five days.
This has been perhaps the quietest day since the Of
fensive began. The Germans must have been hit hard
not to be able to patch up their machine before now
The British blew UP theh bridges which they
treated but Hndenburg has had ample time to repair
them
Probably the Germans ready for the second phase
of their offensive. But two things worrying them.
The first is the stunning blow given them at Arras The
second is the doubled battle 'front.' combined with the les
sened number of troops They dislike pushing toward
Amens with Arras and Vimy threatening their north
flank and the French menacing their southern flank
Likewise whereas they had ninety divisions q 900
men) in the line and in for feyfve mile front
March Fl, they have only the remnants of this
force plus the sparse fresh troops with which to carry
their offensive over 100 mile front. 81
Indications nhe past few days that Hindenburg is
trying to shorten the active battle front by digging in at
certain places permitting him to concentrate
south of the Somme He will be compelled again to draw
from garrsons in the quiet sectors He has already
drawn twenty eight divisions (336,OO0 men) from the
North Sea end and thirty divisions 100000 men) from
the Swiss end of the west front.
About 900 men--almost half the total on the west
front-are concentrated on the new battle front The
problem is how long he can keep up the drain.
Obviously Hindenburg is stalking everything this last
throw of the dice.

SAVING OF AN|ENS is
A MOST IMPORTANT
OBJECT AT PRESENT
Counter Offensive Of Allies
Not Necessarily Matter To

BY J. w. T. Mason

written for the United Press) !.
New York, April 3.---If General FoeI
succeeds in saving Amiens and in pre-
venting the Germans from cutting the
Amiens-Paris railway, he will have ac'
complished all that can be reasonably
asked of him at this time.
Delay in starting a counter offens'
i've against the German is proper un.
der the circumstances. 1t is not prob
able that British, French and Ameri.
can public opinion would consider the
recovery of the recently lost area in
western France worth the sort of
slaughter that Won Hindenburg has
just inflicted ON his own troops. The
German autocraey can ruin Germany 3
man power without protests from home
but demoeraltic governments do not do
theSe things. The imme diaite ketire-
lncnt of the Germans to their former
posts is strategieally necessary from
the standpoint of the allies. The prin-
cilpai reason for its accomplishment
would be the strengthening of the al
lies morale, which ought to be and, in
fact, is necessary. Present develop
ments more and more suggest that a
waiting policy may suit the allies
needs better than adoption Of Won
Hindenburg strategy of slaughter.
A voluntary retirement by the Ger
mans, similar to their return to the
Hindcnhurg line last year, may well
ho brought about by the mere arrival
along the Alsace Lorraine front of in
crcasing numbers of soldiers from Am,
erica.
Won Hindenbug has bitten off more
than he can chew for any length Of
tine The present flont win certainly
incrcnA III unvt,r;d esl for the Ger
mans if the war is prolonged. With
tho. probabilities favoring an eventual
curtailment of the German front, Gen
eral Foch might even be playing Won
Hindenburg own game by developing
a major counter offensive at this time.
The allies can no more afford to
waste their man power than can Ger
many. The death payments Of the al
lies ought TO be made for offensive
gains and not merely the recovery Of
technically valueless territory.
-its'h4sa- may fbe considerations that
are withholding Gfeneral FOch for the
present from striking against the Ger

PrO-Gernan Professor
Dismissed From California

Sam Francisco, April 3.-Summary
dismissal of Professor Ernest Conrad
Alfred Forke, head of the department
cf oriental languages, and lingo Wal
demar DagcIbert Hackh, assistant in
the department of chemistry, was an
nounced today by the regents of the
University of California.
Further than thAb the men were

the regents nor the office of President
Benja1 Ide Wheeler would make
comment.
Forke, who is a noted oriental stu
dent, came to the University Of Cali

Berlin. He has acted as adviser to the
Chinese legation and is said to have
held government office in Germany.
Hackh came to California in 1915

Turner Man Refuses
to Support Government
But Wants County OGC'

There is considerable criticism Of
the course OF B. f. Robertson, of Tur-
ner, by the people Of that section Of
the county. He has announced his can
didacy for county commissioner IN
the coming primaries but has absolute
ly refused to take part in any work
activity, or in any way support the
government in the present crisis. Mr..
Robertson owns a good farm and rides
in an automobile but he repeatedly re.
fused to buy liberty bonds, or contrib
ute TO the Red Cross, Y. NJ. C. A. or
Armenian relief war drives. AS far as
known he has not even paid 81 to be-
come a member of the Red Cross
There may be other men in Marion
county who are as unpatriotic and sell
fish as Robertson but they have not
had the nerve to ask support of the
voters for public office. The Turner
man probably holds the record in this
respect and while he might be tolerat-
ed in some parts of Wisconsin, the
state of Oregon has no use for him.

gavt right of way to "victory bills,,
In both houses vital war legislation is
to be driven through to the exclusion
OF everything else, so that America q
weight might be thrown into war q
scales as quickly as possible.
To break a serious jam in which
much win-the-war legislation has been
caught in the house, Representative in
lius Kahn, ranking republican in the
house military committee, has introdue-
ca a resolution giving naval and mill
ltary affairs precedence on the calendar
for the rest Of the session.

tained senate leaders consent to expe-
dite in every way possible action on

This was learned from an authorita-

Of eliminoting bombproof army jobs
for men of draft age is under way.
The general plan is to rid Washing
ton of daft age officers whose places
can be filled by older men or civilians
and TO give the youthful desk men
field service.
Some of the highest army officials
point out that it is essential to have a
vast army behind the lines and that
only a comparatively small part of this
stay-at home force consists of slack
ers.'
Six to twelve men are required to
supply each soldier on the line, And
there are many men here, it is pointed
out, who are tied to desk jobs who
would p1efer outside service The
present move is intended to rid the
army Of men with secure commission
who have sought the desk jobs as
