There can be liitle doubt but what is the purpose of General Foch to clear the Germans out of the salient ich they created in thelr third of- fensive on the western front and all reports indicate that this is being ac- Miplished slowly but surely and the T question now is how far they back. ir counter drive the to the German iines the south of Soissons for the pur- pose of getting possession of that railroad center, a point which the high command will @o its retain, but one whieh is} necess: to the allies if the: ara goinz to ce the Germans bac he Vesje river. In the southern of ,the salien: the Germans are being rapidly driven morthward in spite of stubborn rear guard action.| That they realize that thew cannot ex- to linger in the vicinity is in-| icated by the manner in which they > destroying their ammunition and pplies as well as the villages which v are forced from. orcements have been sought from otffer sections of the Teuton being used to pre- from brecking from Solssons to' allies likewise are not | stocall upon as is in- the manner in which they out their activity to hood of Montdidier, and they are making!| front. That there| struggle about Sois- tictpated but the ailies| possess the advantagze of high zround | there and they have the initiative in their handas, dicated by ROCSEVELT'S DECLINATION, There will be no surprise at the an- ncement whica is made by Colo- 1 Roosevelt that he cannot entertaine dea of being a candidate for the governorship of New York state. The i at the Saratoga con- me unexpectedly and , from the tine in which to reply, without any previous knowledze on the nart of the ex-pres- ident, else vould have then and| there made his decision.

To Cel- onel Roosevelt, however, it was ap- parently a question of service to the country at this time and he consid- ered that such could be better ren- dered unencumbered by the duties of governor which f they are going to be assumed at all should be fully dis- charged, and while he doas not so de- clare there can be no question of the proper government of New York state| if allowed to eontinue under Governor Whitman. THE END OF NICHOLAS. Rumors have come frequently of late concerning the death of ex-Caar Nicholas but there appears to be good ground fer believing that the latest report deals with facts for it comes from the bolsheviki and they would be in a position to suppress it if were not sp or if they did not wish it to be known. The fact thus appears to be that his end was urought about after well thought out plans and in accordance with the de- sire of the bolsheviki and it was in uad reason to expect. . fact not much different than the ezar|threaten to cut off their lines of coms danger to the bolshevik government at the present time and whether there was any real foundation for the claim that he was endeavoring to reorgan- ize a counter revolution, there is lit- tle opportunity to secure any proof, but that is the cxcuse which is eof- fered in explanation of his trial, con- viction and execution by a local so- viet. There is, iowever, no reason to suppose that hs would have tared any better had the trial been con- ducted by the main sovernment. The end of Nicholas, as well as his fali, can be attributed to his weak- ness. This had stood out prominent- ly all through his reign. He lacked the strength which was required of one in his position. Those who were plotiing against Russia even while lie was czar recognized this and took advantage of it. Nicholas had piayed false with his friends because cf this inability to shake off the influences which were planning his downfall and his end is much the same as other monarchs who have displayed the same sort of a weakness though the reign of Nicholas inay not have justi- fied his tragic end. e SoBr PR EENES PRODUCTION AND TRANSPORTA- TION. Fuel Administrator Garfield has reason to feel gratified over the fact that during the week ending with the 13th of July there was an output of 00,000 tons of bituminous coal, which means an increase of a million and a half tons over the same period jast year and a gain of three million tons over the previous week this month. It likewise makes it evident that the production is being speeded up to the point where it should be. it would have been a greater causc for rejoicing if this increase had been shown at the opening of the year and had- continued to gain in each suc- cessive week instead of showing the bad stlump which it hag, for it is to be realized that this is the season of the year when ithe weather is imposing the least handicap and that period is now at the point where the best re- sults ought to be obtained. In connection with the gain which| has been made it to be_ sincerely hoped that there will be no‘¥t up but still greater production. We must it if we are going to meet the industrial needs of the country and in ecuring a greater quantity of coal it is recognized of course that there must be a correspcnding gain in the irangportation facilities. If the car: to haul it can be furnished, it has! lLieen frequently pointed out hy those who cizim to know, the eoal ean be prodyced, and with eoal production depending upon the cars either for hauling it te its destination’ or to points where vesséls are loaded trans- portation must underge the same| speeding up. Too much attention can- not therefore be given to this phase of the problem. CONTROL OF CAPE GOD CANAL.| There can be no doubt that excel- lent judgment has been used in ar- riving at the decision to have the gov- ernment take over the contro! and| operation of the Cape Cod ecanal. For seme time there has been a move-| ment on foot to h:zve the government purchase the waterway snd increa: its depth that it wiill be of great service to coastwise shipping, but| from the investigation which was made with that object in View an ad- verse report was wnade because of the price that was sought. The army en- gineers have agreed to a rehearing of ihe proposition but there seems to be no reason why the taking over of the canal during the period of the war| ought not to meet all requirements. The deeision for government con- trol has been hastened if not actually brought about by the attack whicn was made by the U-boat upon the tug and barges off Cape Cod. It made it lent as nothing else could that ere was greater need of protecting c New England coal supply. Dut it i sort of protection should be extended to other vessels which are inclined to go around the cape rather than use! the canal under present rates, and with the canal under government con- trol this would be secured and give added assurance of the safety of ves- sels not only from submarine attack but from the dangerous sheals along the cape which have proved to be the graveyard of many vessels during storms. Under zovernment centrol ajl vessels would undoubtedly be required to use the' short cut and in view of the importance of ships they should be. EDITORIAL NOTES. These are the days when ths coun- try is experiencing a dry period in more sensés than one. Times certainly are unusual when the baseball season is brouzht to an end before the first of August. The great need at the present time seems to be some method of conservs Ing the heat untii next January. e The man on the corner says: There are people who think that the first aid for a bad témper is to kick some- thing. ‘When that U-boat tackled a tow of coal barges it made ecertaln of a string of victims whieh couldn’t run away. Everyone is willing to helieve any thermometer these days, those which exaggerate are the popular., most but most A little more of this torrid weather and the shirtwaist man will seize up- on it as another chance to save the wear and tear on unnecessary cloth- ing. The bolsheviki took their time about| it but when they got ready thev put a quick end to Nicholas Romanoff, whe was far less dangerous to Russia than is the Kaiser. It is admitted by the Germans that General Hell is at work in the Marne salient. No one will douht it cven if capitals are not used, or that Ger- many will give him a free hand. -85 It is all right to refer to the San Diego as an old boat but there is no!} use dodging the fact'that it was a ser- viceable veseel for the work on which | it was employed and we cannot afford to lose any at this time, The German forees are not retreat- ing and burning supplies because the high command is anxious to give up the salient which was driven to the Marne a couple of months ago. They ore gzoing back becapse the allies evident nevertheless that the same jHan come-back at Lambrai {innocent enough but a drop of it on {if the victim recovers The first of 200 “Eagle” boats, the novel type of submarine chasers, was launched at Henry Ford's new plant near Detroit, July*1ith. The boats are not graceful nor prétty. Few of the curves naturally assocjated with naval architecture are in evidence, but from fazor-like bow to square cut stern the plan is one of straight lines and plane surfaces. The structure of the boats is as unusual as the design ot a forging, rolled beam or shape is used, but frames, beams and angles are pressed cold from sheet steel by pow- erful automatic machinery, Other sheets are cut and bent to form the plates. The finish: parts are alike even to the rivet holes, and the boats, 204 feet long, are assembled twenty- four at a time in one ‘huge building covering thirteen acres. They are built on great rolling platforms in three rows, eight in a row, and the work is so timed that the first in line is the first ready for launching. Each boat is lowered into the water, plat- form and all, by a great hydraulic eievator, and as she leaves her place| in the line, the seven remaining boats | are moved forward one space so that another keel may be immediately laid at the rear end of the line. The entire plant has been conceived and built since February. By the end of July Mr. Ford promises launchings at the rate of one a day, while the entire‘ 200 are to be completed before - the | year is out. The finished Hagies ma: reach the Atlantic by either the S Lawrence or the Erie canal. They wi be shallow enough to go anywhere, big enough to keep the sea in aM weathers and fast enough to cut circles about any U-boat yet produced. An investigation of the ownership | of the New York Evening Mail, long suspected of being pro-German, is now in progress at the instigation of A Mitchell Palmer, custodian of alien roperty. Dr. Rumely, the proprietor, ad made affidavit to Mr. Palmer that the Evening Mail was an American- owned paper, but evidence in hand tends to show that a controlling in- terest was ‘purchased by the imperial German government in 1815 shortiy after the sinking of the Lusitania. To cover up all traces of the transaction, the money was paid through a succe: sion of New York banks, exactly as| was done in the case of the Bolo funds expended for the purchase of the Paris Journal. After tne transfer of the Evening Mail, its questionable loyalty caused so great a decline in its sub- scribers and advertisers, that Ger- many has been obliged to contribute largely and constantly in order to keep the paper going at all, so that all told this venture American journalism has cost the Kaiser weil on toward a miliion and hal sOther evidence gatnered in the course of the investi- gation wouid indicate that 30 millions was appropriated by the German gov- ernment to influence American nublic opinion and deter us from entering the war. ow that we are in, the danger of secret German ownership in any American paper even more subtile. Though no publicatisn in America would dare to openly ayow Germany’s cause any longer, the insidious influ- | ence must be constantly guarded against that it be not able to smooth the way for the aceeptance of the next German peace offer. il It is only within a few days that the American forces in Franee have been receiving mustard gas shells ih suffici- ent quantities to be really effective and now the opposing Germans are enjoying a state of their own villain- ous medicine. Not only that, but the gas of U. S manufacture is a quarter more poisonous than the German vari- | ety,—a real case of out heroding Herod. The introduction of gas has perhaps been the most imporiant contribution to the offensive side of warfare since the invention of gunpowder. It is far more effective than shrapnel;.once the shrapnel shell explodes the damage .is done, but gas lingers always for hours { and mustard gas is somatimes effective for four days. The onward sweep of all the great German offensives has in each case n due o the usc of this gas in unlimited quantities. The Ger- by which they regainsd neariy all the ground lost to the British in the Battle of the Tanks, was made possible by forcing the evacuation of Bourlon Wood by filling it with mustard gas. In April of this year the ¥landers salient was created by making Armentieres unten- able in the same way.' The over- whelming of the supposedly impregna- ble French position of the Chemin des Dames resulting in the creation of the | salient on the Marne was similerly brought about by the use of gas shells. Oddly emough mustard gas ism't a| gas at all but a liquid that slowly volatilizes like turpentine. The odor is mot unpleasant and the stuff looks the clothing penetrates to the skin and causes a deep burn, while it plays havoc with lungs and windpipe if breathed for any length of time, ut- terly incapacitating the soldier for ac- tion, causing great suffering and, even in hospital, leaving him susceptible to pneumenia and tuberculosis. More than half the shells now used in the hombardment that precedes an infantry assault are gas shells. Against these the first masks were not effective, but equipped with the latest type of protector our men cdn endure such an ordeal for hours In the fourth and greatest German attack, that of July 15th, the Americans not only stood their ground but even organized a counter-attack the same day and hurled the enemy ! back across the Marne, a testimony te the firmness of the American soldier and the adequacy of the equipment devised for his protection. The Germans' loudly proclaimed | friendensturm (storm of peace) has been anything but that. The first chapter opened early in the morning of Monday, July 15th, and was de-| finitely checked on the American front ! that very day when the forces that | had succeeded in crossing the river were hurled back to the northern bank. Though some Teuton successes were | registered on other parts of the sixty| mile line. the German advance was finished by Wednesday nisht, andi then it was the turn of Ged. Foch. He | had_deliberately waited until all the Gerfhan divisions that were . likely | to be thrown into the fray had had their share of the same bloody treat- ment that was experienced, by the first shock troops and then he struck | hard and suddenly all along the west- ern side of the deep salient. To ap- preciate the situation it must be re- membered that Rheims and Soissons at the hecls of the great wedge are but miles apart, while the point of the wedge rested on the Marne at Chateau Thierry, 25 miles south of the Rheims-Boissons “line. Thursday at dawn with no preliminarv bembard- ment to smooth their way or herald their coming the Amecrican and French troops went ever the top all the way from behind Soissons to Cateau Thier- ry. Clear through the German line they went, taking guns by the hun- dred and prisoners by the thousand, till they had sliced off eight miles or so all along the side of the salient. To avoid being cut off the Germans were forced to evacuate Chateau Thierry hastily and to withdraw their | houses “Be sure to be home by Thursday,” admenished Miss Belinda when her brother took his suitcase from the car in which she had driven him to the station. “I'll meet you at the 4:15. ‘The girls are coming out on the morn- ing train* “What, the cousins? By jimminy, wlli next Thursday be my birthday? “Yes, Ben. and the girls wish to celerate as usual.

On Thursday afternoen when Miss Belinda and her brother came from the siation they were astonished to see the little cedar on the back lawn at Hill- top decked in Christmas array of tin- sel and glittering glass. The branches were laden with packeges.

It's all right about the gowns. You are all charming in them, but by Jimminy, I don’t like the look of those beribboned packoges.” “But, Cousin ‘Ben,” Mary spoke gravely, “you shouldn’'t ask us to give up one of the pleasantest custome of our childhood and youth. Your birih- day anniversary has always been our great cousinly festival, and wé can't be stopped. Now I'm going to be- gin taking your presents frem the tree.| Here is something marked, ‘From Nan, with manv happy returns.’” Trving to assume some appearance of graciousness, Ben opened the slen- der box. “A siiver mounted silver pen. Beautiful and useful. Nan, you ex- travagant child!” “And_here's something larger. from Bee.” Mary cut from the tsee a shoe box, in which Ben found red leather slippers. “Thank you a lot, Bee. I ought to be able to take my ease in these.” “And here’s something to go with them from Mary,” said Nan handing him a thin box containing a paiy of scarlet silk hose. “Talk about gayety! stunners, Mary!"” Present after present was taken! from the tree, until Ben declared he had no words left to thank the girls. “I'm simply overcome by your wick- ed generosity” he said. “Ten neck- ties and seven mufflers!

'STORIES OF THE WAR A Perilous Flight. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) The zallantry and self sacrifice of | aviators is fllusirated in the story of | a captain-observer and his protector- pilot who haye just escaped death af- ter a perilous flight in Lorraine. The captain was assigned to obser- vation duty only, with a pilot as pro- tector in a swift Spad accompanying him to guard against enemy attack. The .aftack materialized quickly enough, but so suddenly that the pilot| couid net warn the intent captain,| and so quietly that the captain did| not notice the three German ma- chines that came swooping down from far above. { The pilot saw at once thai there was but one way to save the uncmm:ioust and absorbed éaptain—by drawing the attack upon himself—and this he did. His Spad machine was soen ghot through with bullets despite his ut- most efforts. and in no time he was twirling earthward. Thé captain had been attracted by the machine gun fire and was making rapidly for the ¥rench lines in his slower machine. The German attaeking machines, seeing the Spad apparently hopelessly disabled, went after the observer's airplane. Thev never succeedéd in catching up with it. The captain was meurning the loss of his friénd, the pilot, when a telephone message in- formed him that the latter had landed safely within the French lines. Despite his almost certain sacrifice. he had been able, when within a short distance of the ground. to straighten himself out and fly just over the tree tops, unhindereq by# furious enemy fire, to a point just within the French lines. His airplane after landing was riciously shelled by the Germans, Constantinople Suffers From Fi (Correspondence of The Associated Prese): Lack of dwellings, already great in Constantinéple, as increased by the devasting fire of May 31, details of which afre given by the Balkan correspondent of the Nieuwe Rotter- damsche Courant.

Living there is fright- fully dear, and the intestinal disorders which the warm season brings every year have arrived earlier than usual owinz to the inadequate food. The fire was caused by a lighted cigarette being thrown into the cer- ner of the room. Over a distance of two and a half miles it spread, right across oid Stambsul, from northeast {0 southeast. burning away a strip of from a third to five-eishts of a miie wide. Halfway on the coutse the flames branched out im a southerly direction. Teén districts of the city were swept and more than '5,000 20 baths. a dozen bazaars and about 10 mosques were destroyed. More than 200,000 persens were left hemeless. The burned district is almost in the center of the ecity. . Government offiées and the houses of a number of high officials were hastily evaguated, as well as the hos- pitals and scheols in the vieinity.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic $ocisty. The Makina of an Airplane.—The time, labor and material which gointo the making by of a warplane are set forth Lieutenant Colenel Hiram Binghax Signal Corps, U. 8. A, in & communication to the National Geo- graphic Society, a part of which is made public as Lhe following war geo- graphy bulletin: “Let me try to depict by a rough picture g plane in the making. Sup- pose, for instance, youwere set to driving 4,326 nails and 3377 screws. Undoubtedly that would be quite a task—a total of 7,703 separate opera- tions. Well. when you had reached the 5000 mark you could truthfully be told that you had done less than two-| thirds of the work of this sort required | for a single airplane. (These figures are for a training plane; for a French battle-plane 23,000 screws are said to be needed.) Somehow a plane looks so simple anq floats so graeefully through the air that we lose all thought of the skill that goes into its making. “Just recently we have received some figures of the material which is required for one of the simpler train- ing planes. For instanee, 921 steel stampings must bé cut out, 798 forg- ings cast, and 276 turn-buckies, all for a single.machine.. “Think, then, of the hundreds of thousands of such pieces needed for the thousands of planes in the Amer- ican program and of how utterly hope- less the situation would be if thLFI parts were not standardized. turned} out by machinery in tens of thous-; ands, and usable in scores of different factories on any kind of plane.
