MAY PEOVE THE PIVOTAL ATTACK
11E present assault of the German forces on the western front
of the allied lines does not appear to call forth any trepidation
or alarm. Absolute confidence is felt in all quarters. Therefore
there is no ground for silly apprehension on the part of the
observer five thousand wiles away from the scene of activity
General Foch is as imperturbable as ever he was and just about
as communicative but his actions are more eloquent than frenzied
utterances, lie has the situation in hand and is capable of holding
it. If this were not ahe case he would not be so generous in dis
tributing help among the weaker allies, lie would not be thinning
' out his forces by making a back-door attack through Albania.
Neither would he have the French tri-eolor foremost in harrying
the retreating Austrians. That he has men and munitions suf
ficient to assure him of protecting Paris from the vandal hand
of the kaiser s millions is a foregone conclusion. Sixty days have
come and gone since the first day of the second battle of the
Marne when the Hun shock corps simply overwhelmed the French
and British on their thinly held lines. Since then the time has
been occupied to advantage by weaving American troops into the
front line of defenders and incorporating them as separate units
as fast as their numbers justified. At the time of the previous
advance there was not a single completed United States division,
whereas today two complete army corps are assigned to separate
places on the front. Each of these corps comprise ten divisions,
making a total of 600,000 trained athletes from this side of the
Atlantic who are panting for a chance to tackle the foe. These
army corps are perfect in every detail down to the smallest unit
and entirely independent of the support of their allies. Fritz has
begun his massed drives which are favorable for the American
artillery to do most effective work and, from the accounts sent
out yesterday, it does appear as though the Americans were doing
infinitely better than holding their own by slaughtering the on
coming hordes without relinquishing a foot of ground. This is the
first real test of the training of our Yankee soldiers when allowed
to use their own tactics in resisting attack or in countering the
enemy. The first charge of the Huns did not prove such a great
shocks as had been anticipated since the Americans not alone
stemmed the torrent of humanity but succeeded in launching a
counter offensive that would not have been essayed had their
been any doubt about maintaining the resistance. But, as General
Foch said when reproached with the retreat across the Marne, "A
war is not won in a day or is victory measured by miles of terrain.
The morale of the army is what counts. The fighting quality is
what tells in the end."

THE MISSING RUSSIAN FLEET
THE problem of what has become of the former Russian fleet
is beginning to exercise the men engaged in estimating the
strength of the enemy. The fleet has disappeared off the face of
the seas and to all intents and purposes, so far as the intelligence
departments know, the ships might as well be at the bottom of the
ocean. In fact it would be a satisfaction to know that the fugitive
navy has found a resting place in Davy Jones' locker for that
would remove a factor that may cause serious trouble at a later
date when the world's great fleets will clash for mastery of the
seas. The belief is that the fleet has been taken over by Ger
many and is now a matter of some grave concern for, with three
super-dreadnaughts, a dozen submarines, a score or two of torpedo
boat destroyers and. dozens of transports the aggregation would
,esent a formidable front against even the United States and
. England with their navies dispersed over the universe.
This is not the time for ruminating over disasters but the time
for action of that quick rapid fire order which counts and the
allies appear perfectly' competent of taking care of tho interests
committed to their care. The invasion of northern Russia is an
indication of the broad strategic moves controlling this world's
war. While the newspapers have been occupied with academic
discussions regarding the propriety of Japan and China entering
Russia the western powers were acting and acting in concert with
their Oriential allies. The action is a carefully syncopated move
ment with the prospect of requiring years of war before the truth
is brought home to the serfs of Russia who must be taught that
the German is a wolf in the fold who would rend the lamb for
the gratification of his own greed. Under the circumstances it
must be taken as more than a mere coincidence to hear of the
awarding of huge ship contracts to China and Japan whoso naval
constructors can launch vessels faster than they can be built on
cur side of the globe and then steam around to the "White
sea or the north Pacific. Time is the chief clement in the hostilities
and the inauguration of a shipbuilding era in the Orient will bring
substantial returns in more ways than mere financial economy.

CHICAGO, July la. The American
livestock situation, as viewed by the
National Livestock Exchange after a
survey of condition at the sixty big
market9 and the great producing
areas, never was brighter from the
standpoint of the producer, and the
consumer, on the other hand, nesd
have rule fear ot increased prices
during the fall and winter, while pork
and mutton prices probably -will see
little change, in the opinion of C. B.
Heinemann, secretary of the ex
change.
The cattle increase, ba.ed on ex
change reports from 59 markets and
covering the first five months of the
)ear, is 12.4 per cent over the cor
responding period of 117. Officials
ot the organization say that late re
ports indicate that the increase of
3.871,000 hogs estimated January 1,
by the department of agriculture,
will be far surpassed, and sheep re
ceipts for the first five months in
creased 397,327 or 6.3 per cent over
the same period of 1917. The western
lamb increase alone Mr. Heinemann
reckons will be 1,500,000 head over
last year.

EXHIBIT OF WAR TROPH ES
Hi LEADING CITIES OF COUNTRY
By AMMM'latd 1'retm)
SAN" FRANCISCO, July 16.
France, England, Belgium, Italy, and
the Americans under the command
of General John J. Pershing have
combined to present to the American
people a comprehensive exhibit of
war trophies. This allied war expo
Ition now is being held here and
attracting thousands of visitors
ally. Eventually it will be shown
in all of the large cities of the na
tion. It Is a governmental exhibit
nder the direction of the national
omraittee on public information.
While the itinerary of the exhibit,
after it leaves San Francisco, has
ot, as yet been completed, Los An
geles, Denver, Kansa3 City and Chi-
ago proliably will be among the
early points in the schedule.
Practically everything shown is
ar material captured from the
enemy including Germans, Turks,
ustro-Hungary and Bulgarians. The
fact that it takes approximately 25
freight cars to transport the articles
from point to point will indicate the
mpossibility of attempting to enu
merate what may be seen. The ex
hibit includes objects of interest
from a tank. caDtured airplanes and
ubmarine to steel trench helmets
nd iron crosses.
All manner of cannon are shown
and practically all of them show the
scars of battle which are eloquent
of the ferocity of the fighting which
took place before they fell into the
hands of the allied armies. Amoug
these Is a German mounted anti
airplane gun. Its condition bears
every evidence that an allied shell
must have struck in close proximity.
Allied soldiers doubtless spent some
time in collecting and putting the
pieces together again. Huge pieces
of ordnance with the barrels burst
open where a premature explosion of
the shell occurred jear testimony to
their explosive force.
One German bombing plane Is
fairly riddled from the efrects of a
barrage fire. There is scarcely a
part of its but what Is pierced and
torn by shells and bullets. It Is not
stated whether the men operating
it were killed or captured. It is
probably taken for granted that the
appearance of the eirplane automati
cally answers the question.
The tank exhlblnd. the "Britan
nia," took a prominent part in some
of the most desperate fighUng on
the western front last year. H Is in
working condition and is put through
its paces by the greater part of its
original crew of fighting men who
guided ft over, the shell-torn No
Man's Land. One of the feats of this
tank and crew was to capture and
bring in 364 German prisoners.
gether with the "bureau of market'
recent action in taking over the
work of handling estimated reeeipis
and prospects, have been big factors
in stimulating confidence of the pro
ducers, Mr. Heinemann declares. The
licensing system, effective July 25,
under which packers will operate,
also had an encouraging effect upon
producers, he says:
"The food administration In co
operating with the quartermaster's
department contemplates the estab
lishment at western packing center s
of a meat reserve of 50,000,000
pounds to take care ot emergencies
and this purchase will act as a sta
bilizer to protect the price situation,'
Mr. Heinemann said.
