Holding. "One of the great days in German history has arrived," the Kaiser asserted last March, on the eve oi the first blow of the offensive. "The hour has struck," echoed his psycophants; "der tag has comc." Having thus announced to the world the ending of the war by the destruction of the us see about the execution. Here we are in mid-June, with the edge of the German sword growing dull. The blows have been piilrwed and pocketed in the allied line.

There is no rupture, no "breaking through." Today the central thrust aimed at Paris has been met squarely. the shock has been absorbed, and parried. Confidence that the hours of darkest trial and gravest peril for the allied cause is over has almost been converted into certainty. We are, then, confronted with this alternative: Either the Ludendorff-Hindenburg plan has miscarried radically, the margin between promise and performance being so great, or the German high command is committed to the policy of attrition, of wearing Foch down by slow degrees, by a form oi strategy not dissimilar to that of the "delayed pass" in football. The Germans may be planning to iorce such a distribution of allied reserves, to create so many points of pressure and of menace, that Koch will be compromised too deeply to meet the and climaxing blow with adequate force when it falls.

It the German high command is striving to match Foch in his own Fabian policy, of holding back until the allies have relapsed into their old of overconfidence and of thinking "the worst is over," it is safe to postulate that it will fail. It may be that preponderant man power may yet permit the t.ermans to force the entente armies into a ir.orc dangerous situation than any now dreamed of. There have been too many sad surprises in the past three months for anyone to think that the Hun has not a final and supercunning trick to play. No one now no responsible miliary nan in the entente camp intellectual quality of the men who are directing the German offensive. They are masters of the art of warfare.

They arc driven by a desperate necessity to do things which, doubtless, in their detached moments, they know to be a gamble pure and simple; but it is not to be forgotten that the decisive battles of history are full of desperate expedients that have succeeded, and of best laid, sound plans that have gone utterly wrong. To know this does not diminish our faith in Foc'u in the slightest, or our confidence in victory. The C.crman now has made four distinct onslaughts, not one ot which has reached its objective, unless the iWrrnan high command is aiming at an accuniula.ion of minor advantages which will give its big blow the most favorable auspices. From the allied point oi view the situation today is more favorable than it has been at any time in three months. know now, after the experience of the past ten days, that an enemy drive can be held and stopped, practically at its point of origin.

We were not absolutely certain of this until the German started his thrust in the Noyon-Montdidier sector. All this, however, is based on the assumption that the present state oi things is somewhere near what the Kaiser had in mind last March, when he in.ormed his people and his enemies that "der tag'' v.as approaching. This we cannot believe to be tiie ase. When he picked violets for the Kaiserin 1 on the Cliciuin-des-Damcs, and wept over the devastation ot France, two months later, there was so reference then to a "great day in German no cocksure prediction ot a speedy ending ot the war. There is every evidence that the comirg German peace offensive will contain the unwritten history oi the effort to break through the Western front, that it will retract much of what the pan-Germans have been shouting and spouting recer tly.

Certainly Germany needs a decision bciore next winter. She is further from it now than she was lest April. The military clique may find in Yon Stein's inflated speech bciore the Reichstag the drug it needs to wash out the history of from Ma.ch to June, and try to make f-jam June to Oc: ber a different story. But secretly Ludendorff rnuit know that Foch has matched him at every point; that he has not "put over" a single thing; the shrewd game he has been playing is fcrasped by the tactical genius whose word is law along tiic entire frontier of freedom. Wake Up, Senators.

despite the fact that the President lias long since come out forcefully in favor of woman suffrage, a Utter from him to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, further strengthens the cause of women as it shows conclusively that the President is far from wavering in his course on votes for intensities his former utterances. His letter follows: The White House, Washington. My Llear Mrs. Catt: May I thank you for transmitting to me the very interesting memorial addressed to me by the French Union for Woman Suffrage under date of February last Since you have been kind enough to transmit this interesting and impressive message to me, will iu not be good enough to convey to the subscribers this answer: "1 have read your message with the deepest interest and I welcome the opportunity to say that agree without reservation that the full and sincere democratic reconstruction of the world for re striving, and which we arc determined to bring about at any cost, will not have been completely or adequately attained until women arc to the suffrage, and that only by that action can lite nations of the world realize for the benefit of future generations the full ideal force of opinion, or the full humane forces of action.

"The services of women during this supreme crisis of the world's history have been of the most signal usefulness and distinction. The war could not have been fought without them, or its sacrifices endured. It is high time that some part of our debt of gratitude to them should be acknowledged and paid, and the only acknowledgment they ask is their admission to the suffrage. Can we Justly refuse it? for America, it it my earnest iopc that the Senate of the United Statea will give an unmistakable answer to this question by passing the suffrage amendment to our Federal Constitution before the end of this session. "Cordially and sincerely yours.

(Signed.) "WOODROW WILSON." The Washington Herald has at all times supported the cause of woman suffrage, and we feel that the continual delay in granting the amendment reacts considerably to the detriment of the country. "There are several phases of the situation which well be brought to the attention of the Senate at this time. Only two paVliaments since the beginning of the war have pronounced against suffrage for women. These two are those of Germany and Hungary, while the parliaments of several of our allies have either given or promised the. vote to women.

When the British Parliament came out in favor of woman suffrage, the news was suppressed in all German papers. Does any one imagine that if the Senate should turn down the amendment that this news would be suppressed as well? Not a bit of it Every paper in the German Empire and every other paper in the world with pro-German leanings would herald the fact to the skies, that woman suffrage had been defeated. Unless the Senate of the United States without further delay and gives its support to the amendment, the Senators will be placing themselves in the ranks of Germany and Hungary. Such a project is beyond the limits of belief. Keep Traps Set.

A farmer was bothered rats in his corn crib. He set out traps and sprinkled poisoned food in and about the crib. Next morning scores of rats were dead. For several nights he pursued his antirat campaign and then, thinking all were gone, took in the traps and turned his attention elsewhere. But in a short while rats again were stealing his corn.

"Guess I'll have to keep the traps out every night," he said. And so it is with these food profiteers, the rats that take advantage of the war to steal a miserable profit. i The other day one New York sugar concern was fined $20,000 for sugar profiteering last winter. Hundreds of other firms and individuals have been fined and have lost their licenses for profiteering in the people's food. The Food Administrator, Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice are eternally on the watch for these human rats.

The government never takes in its "traps" and never neglects to put out the "poison" but it cannot catch all the rats the same night. Probably no human agency could catch all of them. They are cunning and they multiply rapidly. So do not become discouraged when you meet with these food profiteers. Help the governmental agencies catch them by giving the Food Administration's representative in this city what evidence you have so that prosecution may be directed against the rat stealing from you.

When you get up in the wee sma' hours of the early morri and make for river or lake where you sit for hours watching for nibbles and hoping for bites, you do more than catch fish, and you gain if you catch no fish at all. t.

Russell, of Missouri, referred to the glory of feminine fashions and fittingly related a little story along that line. Recently Smith and Jones met in a restaurant, and while daintily manipulating the abbreviated bits, their talk turned to a comparison of domestic expenses. First it was beef, next it was butter, and finally millinery came up for a few sighful remarks. "You should have seen the peach of a hat my wife toted home a few days ago." said Smith. "It was all plumes and other embellishing things, and, after telling me that it was standing against my account at $50, she sweetly asked me what I thought of it." "I see," was the smiling response of Jones.

"Of course you told her." "Oh, yes." answered Smith, with a grim expression. "I simply raved over that hat for an Evening Telegraph. Tit? Comrade. (Among the soidiers of France there is a widespread and belief that at Nancy. Poispons.

"Wi-di Russia Is very much to the fore Just now, and it would not surprise us if more than one solution rime from officials with respect to making that country an active ally for our cause. The reasons for believing that this is impossible ate basic, however, and there can bo no getting around them. They are stubborn things, quite as stubborn as the people themselves are at this moment in that country, and we have quoted them before. First, the people of Russia are in no war mind.

They want peace and they have obtained peace, to some extent, from the course they have been pursuing. What problem they have laid up for themselves in the future they profess not to see at this time. They are content to rest. If they believe the future holds dire things in store for them they show no concern over is, the mass of the people shows no concern. The peare Inclinations of the Russians was the wedge whereby German drove her plans to a head, and was able to do things with Russians which surprised many ofj our own people this nation and which pained them beyond The only course which wc offered Russia was to stay in the war, a course which involved much more discomfort than the Russians cared to visit upon themselves at this time.

They saw the olive branch on one hand and the sword on the they took the green bit. We had no argument alluring enough to tempt them away from it. They only tiling we had was I the to whom it was offered and given, presumably, were those whose names are now on no Russian toncuf. Those on the hill who profess to see a course which can be followed' summarize it in this way "Russia' is worse than chaos. No good come from intervention sides how would we Leave it alone." And it is said Justice Brandeis of1 the Supreme whose mind is on matters of this nature just does not know of advice which would be obviously more profitable! to Uncle Sam at this very Mr.

Brisbane, from contact with farming affairs in the doubt from motoring out from Chicago In his car to nearby, waving' fields of that the government buy tractors for the farming regions of the nation and that men to operate them be sup-1 plied by the government through some distributing agency. Bless his heart, any number of1 the armers of the West have tractors, and many more of them are well able to buy them. And they' are being used with profit, too. I Really, the situation is so encour-! aging in this respect that we must call it more promising than any! other phase of the agricultural sit-; uation. Mr.

Brisbane will learn more of these things as he motors, farther into the interior. The farmers are taking to the tractor quite as readily as they should takej to as for buying them outright with public money there isj no of.it. Give the farmer en-1 couragement in other directions and he will not need to be the recipient' of any alms of this kind. There are a number of ways in which Uncle Sam can show his thought-) fulness for his farm folks and ways are now open. If these efforts, are sincere there need be no We commend to Mr.

Brisbane's attention some of the adverse things1 he has with respect to the farmer. Presents of many tractors would not make up for some of1 those statements, by any means. Mr. Hurley's statements about the tonnage for 1918 are now, fortu-j nately, based on facta. His more op-' timistic statements, given out some time ago, wherein he promised twice as much tonnage this year as he now finds himself able to deliver, were, unfortunately, not based on facts.

All of which shows that when we come down to earth we can get along much better than when we soar in the clouds and lay ourselves open to attack from many unpleasant sources. The tendency now for America's war machine to work without talk and in deeds Is encouraging. It meana that we have a full appreciation of the magnitude of our task and that we will go about It with earnestness and sincerity and honesty to accomplish it.

(Copynsht. some of the wavg have yet to be thrown upon the acreen for the multitudes, however. This will all come In good time. Congress is keeping an eye on the mammoth task and is sitting here ready to criticise when criticism is necessary and ready to applaud when applause is earned. The representatives of the people assumed no disloyal attitude when they began investigation of war activities.

The immense sums which some of the officials plainly thought were given them to handle with no thought of accounting, rame from: the people, and the people were I sistent and anxious to have thelrj representatives here keep their eyes open and see what those sums wentf for. The t'ongress we have here, now. believes this Congress sent hack to Washington beginning next March will believe It even more strongly. We are glad, now that the British draft treaty has been referred to the Senate for ratification, that no Irish question is connected with it. It was feared here for some time that complications would result which would be distressing to the Irish I and to this nation, and which doubtless would assume a grave aspect for the Britons themselves.

Congress really sees no ground for the extreme delay in the matter. though. The treaty was signed June 3, but did not reach the Senate until nine days later. It has been in settlement ever since February. I Just what has held it up and what i have been the reasons for delaying its transmittal to the Senate, after, it was signed by both nations.

Is more than the members of the Senate know. Some of the members say they will find out, though, and 1 it may be that they will. You never can tell what members of Congress are liable to find you never can tell what things executive officers are likely to try to withhold from Congress. A curtailed Congressional program is. favored by the President so we the tired members, knowing how the voters will throng around them this fall, are anxious to get through some of the bills which they have promised they would, and which must be gotten through if support is to be forthcoming.

The latter measures loom up important to the members, though they are mere specks in the constellation, to the President. THE OBSERVER. FAIR TAXES ASKED BY BUSINESS MEN Special Interests Plead Before Ways and Means Committee. Silk, lumber, zinc mining, motor truck and chemical interests sent representatives to the Ways and I Means Committee to plead for fair I treatment of their industries in the1 new taxation bill.

Schwarzman, attorney for: silk manufacturers, pointed out that! silk is no longer a nonessential be-1 cause of the heavy demands of the government upon the cotton and wool stocks of the country. George M. Graham, chairman of the motor truck committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, suggested that while his committee is not opposed to a fair tax on motor trucks, the same tax should be applied to all other vehicles, including railnad cars, wagons, etc. Edgar Gilbert, member of a firm of chemical roods manufacturers New YjiU.
