The pressure of the Germans from the norUi which is being exerted steadily, and with daily gains, threatens to cut off the Russian advance in Bukowina, leaving no" retreat except into the Rumanian province of Moldavia. But if the Russian advance can be stopped, and Austria and Germany can repeat their drive of a year ago that would not bring the war perceptibly nearer an end. The Turks appear to have effectually blocked the grand duke's campaign in the Caucasus and the Mesopotamian campaign, as well as the renewed British advance from the south. The only thing the Turks and Teutons might gain from a successful movement against the Russians now would be to bring the latter to a separate peaces something that has always been a nightmare to the entente allies. Indeed, not long ago it was reported that Russia had made a demand upon the western allies for financial aid and munitions of war, threatening an abandonment of the war if they were not forthcoming.

There will probably be early activity on the Greek frontier where Teutons and Bulgarians are n.idy and are confronted by a large force of British and French and the -reorganized Serbian army. The people of Great Britain are becoming clamorous for action in that theater of war to relieve the menace which hangs over Egypt, and for the influence which a.successful issue would have upon Rumania.

It Was a Pretty Fight Men who have witnessed many large conflagrations say that they never saw a big fire attacked a. more business-like manner than that at the Commercial hotel on Wednesday night. The attack was surprisingly successful. There was never so little confusion about a fir.

in Phoenix that promised such sweeping destruction. There was none of that crashing down of doors with axes such us was an important feature of every fire fight in the old days. There were no loud and conflicting orders by all the members of the fire department and many who were not members, as in the ancient days. There was no waste of water. Every drop of the 2,000,000 gallons was put where it would do the most good.

We have seen nothing else in Phoenix so metropolitan as that battle with the flames on Wednesday night.

There were many other technical demonstrations, but the main thing was that G. N. Mo-shier, the factory expert sent here from San Francisco, convinced City Manager Craig, Mayor Corpstein, Commissioners Maclriean and Jones, Fire Chief Wright, Water Superintendent V. A. Thompson, Frank Slaker of the Arizona Equitable Rating office, and a dozen others, that the pump was doing all and more than had been claimed for it.

of cigars and other remembrances were also sent the department by appreciam-e property owners who realized that it was a very effective bit of work. Indicating the loyalty of Mesa to Phoenix, it is interesting to note that Fire Chief C. Fred TJrackett, of Mesa, came over to this city on Wednestlay night while the Commercial Hotel fire was in progress and offered his services to Chief Wright. And not only that. Chief ilrackett brought along eight of Mesa's best fire-fighters all ready and anxious to "get into the harness at a real fire.

The fire was well under control so soon after the local department got into action, outside assistance was not really needed but Chief Wright expressed his deep appreciation of the tender of Chief Brackett. Learning that the new' American La France fire pump -was to be given its official test yesterday, Chief Brackett came over from Mesa in the afternoon and as the guest of Chief Wright went out to the Grand canal where the big machine was to lie put "through its paces." It was an interested little audience that gathered on the hanks of the canal tamling in the (lisurtnti'-d lobby of Ihe hole that she has made her home for more than a quarter of a Mrs. George 11. N.

FflR PRFSCRTT The Salt River Valley summer is approaching conumioci to tall 'jiii still no com- The "Relief of Tension" The release of the captured cavalrymen which has been joyfully accented at Washington as "relieving the tension" has really relieved nothing except the feelings of the prisoners.

It has no bearing whatever on the main poin at issue, the right of the United States to protect its own border in the particular way that it decided the border should be protected. The compliance of the Mexican government with the demand of our government for the release of the prisoners has not altered the fact that the policies of tlie two governments clashed at Carrizal in an actual battle. That was not an accidental meeting of American and Mexican troops, where, by some folly on the part of one or both of the commanders, a collision resulted. The governments of the two commanders had assumed full responsibility for what was about to occur at Carrizal. Nor, lias compliance with the demand for the release of "the prisoners restored to life the American troopers who were killed there or afterward in-flight.

But if even such a miracle should lie wrought it would still not alter the fact that before tension can be really relieved, one government or the other must make an announcement of the complete abandonment of its policy. Either the Mexican government must consent to the unrestricted movement of American troops in Northern Mexico or wherever else our government may think it necessary for them to go to afford protection which the de facto government is unable -to1 give, or else our government must withdraw Its troops from Mexico. There can be no compromise that would promise a permaiicnt peace. It would mean nothing more. than a prolongation of the anarchy which has raged in Mexico and has slopped over into the United States during the last three years.

There is no use to disguise the fact that we are now cngagc'(B in intervention as we have been spasmodically engaged, in Mexican affairs for more than three years, first by our demand that lluerta retire, next by our friendliness for by our threats and ultimatums when the great Mexican oil works have been menaced. Only we have not called it intervention, and so mild was it that perhaps the administration itself thought it was not intervention. ISut all the time it was: sometimes it took only the form of irritating meddling and a part of the time it was a pitifully armed intervention, incapable of accomplishing anything without the consent and co-operation of the Mexicans. From the time of the split between Carranza and Villa it has been evident to all thoughtful Americans thai there could never be a peaceful government in Mexico without an intervention that means something: that would command the respect of the Mexicans and would give certain promise or security to the southern border of this country while the process of pacifying -Mexico should be in progress. The we have so far offered has had the same effect that a half-inch stream of water would have upon a roaring cauldron it has only increased the ferocity of the flames which are devouring Mexico and has encouraged the spread of them across the border.

The administration has spent three years in making its own task which must sometime be performed either by itself or its successor, all the harder and bloodier. The release of the captured Cavalrymen, desirable as it was and gratifying as it is, has no bearing on the general situation, unless it should turn out to lie a sign of the complete surrender of Carranza to our contentious, in which' case if we proceed vigorously to pacification we may accomplish something. But if. we accept anything less than a complete surrender it would be a good deal better for us to move out of Mexico and wait until our uncertain administration has been succeeded by a firm and virile furtively, making a dash at but retiring at night. In which respect it does not remind us of a chicken thief.

She said it simply, but the little sentence signified much to tho.v who know her best. Her Ijfe has been her home and her family and she has accomplished that which many have r.aUl is impossible. She made home in a hotel.

No one who ever called at the. Luhrs'. apartments in Uie Commercial doubted that for a moment. The very atmosphere whs "homey" and she surrounded her family with those comforts that few-enjoy. At present the Luhrs are the guests at the home of Mr.

Mrs. has been a marvel to her Usually excitable over It was mustering day in Buddingen for the class or '21, boys of IS. In the darkness of early morning I had been awakened by the glee singing of a company of boys marching to the station to entrain for Freiburg. They sang the new Argonne song of Germany, which had been made as innumerable other songs are being made at the front, carrying it back again to France to their fathers and brothers. Jt sounded confused at first, mixed with the heavy thud of marching, but with said pertinence came distinctly: "At this charge much blood flowed, Many young lives it cost.

Something else followed with "Deutsche" and "halten stand" in it, and then the young voices swept out clearly: "Fuer das geliebte teuere Vaterland!" From the distance, as they were probably passing through the exquisite little gate of the old fortress wall, came still clearly, the last stanza of the new ballad: "Woods of Argonne, woods of Argonne, A silent graveyard you'll be soon, In your cool earth there rests So much courageous soldier blood." Two hours later I was awakened again by a second company, singing perhaps the most popular song in this locality today that big, pausing tragic "Lied." "What sorrow sons give to their mothers!" Son, son, do not forget your mother!" As I sat at the table by the four small windows that iooked out on the old stadt, with the lovely little angle shop of the whip handler opposite, and a few doors to one side the dainty white room of the broom maker, boys came by in twos and threes, and in larger groups, singing in the earnest, straight-forward fashion of soldiers marching. From the distance they sounded like whole companies approaching, for two German boys with their inborn instinct for chorus singing will harmonize a song to make it rise like a "Maennerchor."

SOLI PRODUCTS FOR EXHIBIT IT FI A More Comprehensive Deadlock The European warring powers seem to have been brought into a more general deadlock than ever. All peace talk has been silenced and fighting without result is going on at all the fronts, that is, without results that point to any permanent advantage. The Italians are again pressing the Austrians back over the ground the latter gained recently.

While the Germans have recently made extensive gains in the Verdun sectors they have been brought to a standstill. Though they may eventually capture Verduu and occupy the front now held by the French for several miles, it will make Paris no more easier for them. The fighting between the Germans on one side and the Belgians and British on the other, along a ninety-mile front has been indecish and gives no promise of decisiveness on either side. Any advantage that either might gain would be bought at enormous cost, and would not make any serious impression upon the defenses of the enemy. That is, France and Belgium could be cleared of Germans only by-inches and it would be only by inches that Germany could advance farther into France.

Desiring to show his appreciation of the theater manager's kindness to him during the week, he called that gentleman into his dressing room on Saturday night "I want to thank you, sir," he said, "for your courtesy to me this week and for the fine crowds you've helped to bring in to hear me. Here's a photograph of mysel' for you; and if business is as good next year when I come back I'll put my name on it for you then!" From the Saturday Evening Post.
