ENFORCING AUTO LAWS, Some idea of the extent of the vio- lation o and regulations by those who operate automobiics is fur- nished by the report to the effect that there were more than 60 automobilists arrested in the state on Sunday by state policsmen and others employed by the inspection branch of the mo- tor vehicles department of the state. That these were orly a small propor- tion of the actual number of violators 18 indicated by the fact that the arrests for the most part were made at only & fow places where special attention was beinz devoted to the matter. This was the first tryout of the plan to patrol the highways of the state and to see that motorists live laws. The arrests wera driving without a license, operating unregistered cars and ex- ceeding the speed limit. Such results only substantiate the belief that too little regard is paid to the automobile laws because they are not enforced and there are good reasons to expect that drivers of mo- tor cars, as soon as they realize that they are likely to be held up at any point for inspection on such matters 1o which. due attention should be paid, will be careful to protect them- selves and by so doing will be living up to the law. Just as long as they realize that they can dodge the pro- visions without being called to ac- count they can be expected to take chances, but the knowledge that the laws will be enforced will bring the Tespect that is demanded and should be given to the regulations. THE WEBB BILL, It has taken congress a long time o get aromnd to.it, but if the neces- sary thought has in the meantime been given to the Webb bill to elimi- nate some of the bad breaks which have been made in hasty legislation the delay in its passage will have its compensation. This piece of legislation is for the purpose of taking care of our foreign trade and permitfing combinations of American exporters so that the best results for American industries can be secured in foreign markets. Here- tafare it has-been®: case of everyone for himself.

This road has been the Turks’ sole artery of communijcation with their own government and ‘Ger- many, On the Buphrates British troops operating from Hit, 100 miles west of Bagdad, have captured or de. sf virtually the entire Turkis] force in that region. As at Ramadie last year, the British cavalry made a wide detour to the rear of the enemy forces, and thege when attacked fierce- 1y by the main body of British in front found their retreat hopelessly cut off. Three thousand prisons¥s, including German officers, were captured and quantities of munitions, animals and other booty. “Thus once more the Turks find themselves assailed from three sides, Palestine, Metopotamia and the Caucasus, The chaos that prevails in Russia is well illustrated by the struggle that took place in Irkutsk, an' important Siberian city on the shores of Lake Baikal, There was really nothing to fight for, life was going on normally in the city and the unrest at the cap- ital was several thousand miles away. Yet on a certain morning last Decem- ber an ultimatum was presented to the constituted authorities by the forces of disorder, ten thousand in number, including Red guards made up of workmen and the local garrison. On the refusal to comply with the de- mand to disarm, indiscriminate firing began by both infantry and artillery and the fightmg. continued day and night for a week Fires broke out everywhere, 50 or more great build- ings were destroyed, a thousand ped- ple slain and as many more wounded, When all the ammunition had been shot away, “peace” was declared and the government was re-established in the hands of the former coyncil. Th material loss from that Week's_di order is reckoned at $50,000,000. Years of industry and self-sacrifice will be required to made up for this one short excursion into the realm of anarchy: Coincident with the great military effort to break through the allied armies, the Germans launched two separate attacks intended to break their morale. One was a_speeding up of the submarine campaign’ that re- sulted in sinking 28 British ships in a week, a total that had not been reached since last September. The other was the bombardment of Paris ormous gun 70 miles and y. The range is so great that the achi first deemed impossible, and the general belief was that the projectiles were some sort of aerial torpedo dropped from enemy Rlanes, Later, however, a close examipation of the shell frag- ments showed that they were really fired from a nine or ten inch gun. The construction of such a weapon has fong been known to be possible, all that is needed being strength to withstand the force of the explosion and length to permit the gases to act long enough on the projectile to give it the required velocity. This particu- lar gun is probably in the neighbor- hood of 80 feet long. Apart from the difficuity of transporting such a cum- bersome pjece, its tremendous weight would cause it to droop at the muzzle unless it were trussed or supported for its entire length. This is probably the case with the mew German monster. The fact that all its ‘shells have fallen in one quarter of Paris would seem to indicate that it is embedded in con- crete and that its aim cannot be changed. As a military euccess the great gun is therefore valueless; as a producer of terror it is a flat failure. Its discovery to the world, coincident with the great attack in Picardy was most certainly designed to break down the Trench spirit of resistance and to hearten the German people with the announcement that Paris was under the fire of the German artillery. Yet the Parisians go their way undismayed Eyi this new creation of “Schrecklich- eit.” N\ The great battle in Picardy will have been in progress three weeks tomor- row. As at Verdun, the first great onset swept far ahead across the ops posing lines, but then there came a pause until the artillery could be brought up. This must have been an especially hard task, for the Germans in their great retreat of a year ago had themselves thoroughly devastated the entire country over which they must now drag their heavy guns, and the British had completed the destruc- tion of every road and bridge, When at last the Germans were ready to strike again, their assault lasted bare- ly three days, and the ground gained was insignificant in comparison with the price paid. By all the principles of the German military school, such an assault as was launched—ig men to the yard of front—should have carried everything before it. That it did not make headway speaks volumes for the heroism of the defenders, the strength of their positiens and their proficiency with the machine guns. Fr: 0 miles at its greatest depth —absolute confidence in their ultimate success prevails throughout the Freneh and British armies. This is a striking proof of their wonderful morale, for if 2 retreating army can keep up . its courage, there can be nq doubt of what its response will be when at last the order comes to advance. While the enemy. rushes division after di- vision to slaughter, the allies’ reserve {orca is being withheld from the bat- le, waiting until the new general- iséimo Foch seées the time and the place to strike a decisive counter- Dblow. The growing confidence of The allied nations rests on the fact that it was this same Foch who saw right and ;}mk hard and ‘“beat them at the arne.” 3 he deseryes, but many a man is overlooked by the grand jury.

STORIES OF THE WAR How the Kaiser Wrote to the Czar. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) One of the letters written by Em- peror William of Germany to the Bm- peror Nicholas of Russia, addressed to "My Dear Nicky” and signed “Wil- ly" and lately made public by the Bolshevik government, contains Em- peror William’s views on anarchists and a complaint that “these scound- rels are allowed to live in Great Bri- tain and there form plots against the 1ife of anyon: 3 peror William expressed in this communication his sympathy for Nicholas over an “untimely visit” by a British fleet to Russian ports. Ger- man designs, in the building of the Berlin to Bagdad railway, “Willy” as- sured his royal cousin in.Russia, “re- lated only to the weli-being of human- ity. Nicholas was advised by the German Bmperor to endeavor to forget the cares and troubles of state by man- oeuvring his guard troops and was in- vited to meet Emperor William at Swinemunde where, he promised they would “try to have a good time.” The date of letter is not known but it is supposed here to have been written some time in 1914, several years later than the dates of a large number of other “Dear Willy” and letters already divulged by the Boisheviki to show their con- tempt for secret diplomacy The letter follow “My Dear Nicky, for your sweet letter which was hand- ed to me by Tatisicheff and the second one which Viadimir gave me today. I fully sympathise with you during these terrible times. The best way to for- get the cares and troubles connected with the state of affairs in the country is the method you haye adopted, viz. to occupy yourself with your splendid guard, to make manoeuvres with it and to talk with it. This gives you satisfaction and also gives pleasure to the troops, who without doubt, when troublous times come, will repay you for the care you now give to them and will prove their gratitude by being a faithful, trustworthy and uncon- querable weapon in the hands of their monarch. “T am very glad that you, who sery- ed in the Huzzars, are pleased with them. I must say that the same ap- plies to myself. I also feel a_weak- ness towards any Guard of Huzzars whom I at one time commanded. reviewed them yesterday before the manoeuvres of the Guard Cavalry Di- vision. The manoeuvres went off very well, but like all this year's reviews, finished in a heavy fall of rain. “0 quite agree with you regarding the question of anarchists. Their at- tempt was a_cowardly and criminal act. The difficulty of fighting with this plague of humanity lies, as you rightly remark, in the fact that in many countries and especially in Great Britain, these scoundrels can live with- out hindrance and can there form plots against the life of anyone. “I know that the Spanish Prime Minister requested the Prince of Wales to express to His Majesty Ed- ward VII the desire of the Spanish nation that the British Government should combine with the continental powers in order to take serious re- pressive measures against this sect. “This only proves, that the steps taken by our two governments for the supervision of sueh persons have not been successful, because they can live in full freedom in London and there develop their designs of death. The right place for such scoundrels is the scaffold and in some cases a lunatic asylum. All the Continental Powers should send a proposal to the Eritish Government, asking it to join the in- ternational agreement for the fight against these beasts. I think that with mutual agreement and Wwith a view to defending life and culture, it would possible to prohibit the -production of chemical products for the filling of bombs under threat of severe punish- ment. . -“The Duma is creating a most dif- fieult situption for your government and is complicating affairs very much. But we can hope that soon ways will be found for a reasonable - modus vivendi and that it will be possible to do positive work for the good of the country. “As 1 had expected, our choice fell on Tzvolski, who, I am sure will give you satisfaction, and, being a clever man, will,be able to carry on board a peace pplicy corresponding to your desires. He gave Schein very good advice on the Bagdad Railway ques- tion, so that I hope that my govern- ment will find it possible to work to- gether with him on the basis of mut- confidence based on common in- “Many - thanks terests. “Our interests in this railroad are th of a purely economical and commer- cial character and relate to the well- being of humanity. It is a perfectly legal concession of the German Com- pany which is building it and manag- ing it. “I fully understand, as you say, that the British are beginning to sound you on the question of Asia, but you have decided to quietly await a proposal from them and I feel convinced. that should their terms regarding Central Asia be accepted to you, an agree- ment with them will remove many rea¥ons of misunderstanding and con- flict, and this would give me pleasure, “Without doubt it is clear to every- one, that the present moment chosen by the British Fleet for an’uninvited vigit is most untimely for you and your country, and I fully understand your feeling of displeasure on this a count, when 1 remember my feelings in connection with the visit to us last yeyar. _They, of course, will try to strengthen the ultra-liberal party in your country. The Fleet has signified its intention of visiting Pillau and Travemund on the return journey. I shall see to it, that it is well watched. “Like you, T ‘am looking forward very much to our meeting at the end of the summer. As I shall return to the Baltic Sea in the beginning of August. I would suggest to you that we should meet on the first of August (new style) on the way between Geringshof and Swinemunde, if the weather should be good. The place is_very pretty and the communication with. the shore for sending dispatches. etc. is more convenient than at Hale. “The good old Emperor, Franz- Joseph, whom I have just visited looks fairly robust although age makes him stocp somewhat. annoyed at the behavior of his parlia- ment.
