It may he that the Austrian defeat has been such as,, t; completely disarrange the plans of the Central Towers. The week which ended'June 22 saw the Austrian offensive along the Piave River in collapse and the opening of last week saw the culmination of the it - i ' . l : . - '.i f . iMiidii'-c ioiu ruui, rf. vcriuiuic uimmci tnu kmc oi the worst disasters that any belligerent has suf fered during the course of the war. Assisted by the floods which caught the Austrian invaders and separated them from the main Austrian forces and their bases of supplies, thousands upon thousands of Austrians surrendered and thousands upon thousands more were killed. Premier Wekerle of T i J .l t 11 AAf ' Hungary nas.aamiuea losses oi i.uvr; prisoners, about one fourth 'of the number that the Italians claim to have taken, and casualties of 100.000, about half of the Allies' claims. It had been fully expected that a new phase in the German offensive would open last week tvnt mi the rriiitrafv thp rhief militarv iirtivitips have been conducted by the Allies. These con sisted nf well timed, simultaneous attacks ltnnn two important enemy positions, . L . I Tl -.- l I I .one ny me irmsn ana one oy ine rrencn. i ne British struck to anticipate any move against the , Channel Ports, taking terrain from which an enemy thrust might well have : been directed. France f truck as protection against an enemy thrust at "Paris. The French gained their every objective and secured positions eminently suited for an enemy ;rove against the rrencn capital. Since then the official reports show little fighting other than heavy artillery fire and minor local engage ments. So far as the Americans are concerned. General , March, chief of staff, reports that in all sectors the fighting was almost entirely of a local character. , In Italy there are reports of an increase in bar- , race in the mountain sectors which fives rise to ' the surmise that the Austrians may yet try to re- -. uccin xneir ueicat . uy a new onensive uirecxeu against some 'of the mountain salients. . :' . la general the situation appears to be more j .1 r .1. favorable to the Allies than for though there is still the expectation of serious times on the Western front. Germany's reserves 1 cr,t's- PKing p.anis. puip ana paper nuns. are by no means exhausted and the Germans have reason to exert their greatest efforts now, for le lay can gain them nothing. Not the least encouraging phase of the situa tion is the rapid arrival of American forces and their speedy preparation for actual service. During the month of June the British losses, on all fronts, were more than 120,000. While the French losses have not been announced it is probable they were about as great. German losses may be assumed to have been at least as large, probably much larger, than the combined British and French. But the Americans are going overseas fast ami in two weeks of the thirty dav.s in this month there deoarted from United States twirts 250.000 fitrhtiiu' men, enough to make up for the flu nntiuh anit T-"r-n f-1 Tl-mn cf the Allied forces is not strengthened during the month of May, probably by about 200,000 men. Meantime Germany is weakened by at least a quarter of a million, a gain for the Allies uf, say, 400i000 men. German high officials recognize the changing aspect. Strike as they will, they are no longer able to prevent the growth of the Allies' man power nd if they are to win they must do so speedily or not at all. And not only do the war leaders recog , nize this, the Socialists in the reichstag are aware of conditions and ridicule the war party because of the failure of their promise that submarines would prevent the lauding of American troops in important numbers and would prevent the ration ing of such of them as had arrived. What the effect of von Kuehlmann's admission that the war must go over another year will be on the masses of Germany remains to be determined. While his admissions were at first thought to be n serious fau-x pas and while the kaiser was re-! ported to be "furious," there is a feeling in'Uritain j that perhaps his words were a part of a deliberate i plan, an effect to stir hopes of peace in the minds of the pacifists and war wearied, in the United Kingdom and in France. Arrival of the first American units in Italy was announced during" tha week. These w ere largely medical or sanitary forces but couibat troops are to follow. This exjeditjon does not give promise of being very, large, at. tfy time, but it is important for the mural 4-ffect which it will have. It is de signed, much as anything, to inspire faith and confideii' e in the Italians, as an outward inanifes tation to the people of Italy that they are not friendless and the United States is ready to assist in other ways than supplying food and nioiuv . There now exists every reason early resumption of the German offensive, tier , many is gaining nothing, so far as is apparent. I from delay, but is losing proportionately as Aim r leans arrive and are trained. That the training i- rapid is shown by the announcement of the arrival in Pershing's command of five divisions who have been trained with the British. Thus there are HAWAIIAN GAZETTE TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1918. likely to be some anxious days- in the next few months ami in the face of them iheAllies are grimly confident of winning the ultimate success. w. s. t. WW Bear Watching MORF. and more frequently of late appear mentions of the Nonpartisan League and its plans, r.cvoixl the fact that, its leaders are said to be inclined toward pro-Germanism compara tively little is know n of it outside of a dozen North western state-; but so rapid has been its growth and ro aggressive arc its jmliticat methods that it will bear watching anil warrants a careful study of its plans and purposes. The Farmer' Nonpartisan League js a new granger political party of distinctly socialistic pro clivities that has sprung up in the Northwest. North Dakota appears to be its birthplace and there it has swept the older parties out of office and grabbed almost everything i sight that per tains to governmental affairs. From the Dakota ranges it has spread across the Red River of the North into Minnesota and has turned that state into a twilling, seething political caldron. In three years the Farmers' Nonpartisan league has enrolled 200.000 members in the states of the upper Mississippi valley. It has captured abso lute control of .Vrirtli Dakota from the supreme bench down through the statehouse to the agricul tural college, with the exception of a few holdover senators 'who are slated for the shelf next fall, It is fullv organized for a fight next November in five states Minnesota. Montana, Idaho, and the two Dakotas In eight other states, Wiscon sin, Iowa, Kansa. Nebraska, Colorado, Washing ton, Texas, ami )klahoma, agents are skipping about in "flivvers" enrolling the farmers for 1920. Thus by the time the next presidential election rolls around the league expects to be strongly in trenched in thirteen states and to walk from the widely separated, .1 1-1 -IM I polls w ith the 'World's bread basket" region liook- ed over its left arm. So far it has done no organ izing east of the Mississippi river, but Illinois, In diana. Ohio and Michigan are on its line of march, extended, and it it continues to spread with the amazing rapidity it has shown in the northwest the league plans eventually to invade the east and the south and to expand itself throughout rural America. This fall it expects to elect ten or a dozen league candidates to congress. Its predic tions for PJ20 might well fall under the blue sky rr i - . ':.w no limit. The avowed purpose of the Nonpartisan league is to establish "an ecfuitaulsysteni of jrtarketing" for the farmer. Hack ot it is a communistic pro gram for state ownership of mills, elevators, cream- , i -I, . many weeks al Lind hanks and other taxation changes, and cooperative stores. In essence it is I minus whiskers 'hing that was lacking in the days of the Pops and the Farmers' alliance an ample war chest. A fund of some $1,250,000 a year represents the sinews of war.

The lovalt issue has been raised and the league is under attack from many quarters. It is difficult with the primary fight at Mazing heat to gather how f;ir the anti-loyalty attacks upon the league are involved with politics. Here and there or ganizers and officials of the league have been ar rested and indicted and in some cases couvicted on charges of disloyalty and of spreading doctrines hostile to the military and naval policy of the United States. Townley himself, and Joseph Gil bert, a state organizer, are under indictment in Martin and Jackson counties. The cases will not be finally disposed of until after the primaries. The league officials declare that the league throughout has upheld the W ilson war policies. The opposition charges that siu h upholdings have always had "weasel words" attached. W. 8. S.

HupeVvleor Arnold asked the board to withhold action en this appropria tion la order to give him time to "think It over." With this proposed lose af revenue and the recent with drawal of Castle and Cooke of its flaan rial support, with also a recommenda tion that its subsidiary concerns also withdraw their support, the Promotion Committee is due for some hard finan cial sledding for the next nix months.

The Pan Fran risco office costs about 400 a month to rnn. Other expenses are for the printing and distribution of folders and pamphlets and the traveling expenses of Its agents. While it is not believed feasible to discontinue the work that this organisation has been doing alto gether, it is the opinion of the board that the expenses of the committee be materially cut to meet the present wsr time conditions.

Short shrift is made of persons in Great Britain, France, IjtJj ,a n -Jh,"t i other allied countries, who attempt (o foment revolution or betray the state to the enemy. Great Britain's colonies under their system of self-government have followed the example of their mother country ia fighting disloyalty, rerognizing that the liberties, of the world depend on victory in the present war. i Amendments to the war precautions regulations of Australia, received in official despatches, show the far-reaching steis .taken by that Commonwealth against sedition. The Sinn Fein or ganisation is outlawed by nnlue and drastic, powers are given to the Minister of Defense to close clubs or places of resort of the Sinn Fein or other dis affected societies. The regulations said in part: "Any person who, by word of mouth or in writing, or by any act or deed (a) advocates, incite or encourages disiloyalty or hostilityto the British Kmpire, or to the cause of the British Kmrtre in the present war; or (b) ad vocates the dismemberment of the Brit ixh Empire, or who says, or does, any thing calculated to incite, encourage or assiat such disloyalty or hostility, shall be guilty of an offense against the act.

OFFERS SQUARE DEAL Was Educated In United States and Gained Insight MEXICO, CITY, June 10 (Associa ted Press) "A square deal for every body is the promise made for the people and industries of Tampa uli pas by Pro fessor Andres Ozuna, recently elected provisional governor of that state by the national senate after a bitter fight for the post that involved two generals and caused the revolt of one of them. The naming of a school teacher to gov ern a state which, because of its oil deposits, is described as the keystone of Mexico's international relations, is in itself an innovation iu modern Mexi can politics. "The peide of Tamaulipas expect a square deal," said the new governor, "and they will get it. The foreign in terests need no special favors. They want a square deal nnd I'll do my best In give it to them." Governor Ozuna, in addition to being one of the few non-military men who have held responsible governing posts in Mexico in the last decade, enjoys tho added distinction of being virtually in dependent in his state. The new con stitution for the state has not yet been formulated, so it remains for the gov ernor to designate what laws shall be enforced. Governor Ozuna has spiyit eight years in the I'nited States and was given his decree at Vauderbilt I'niversity in 191.1.
