THE WAR SITUATION
Does the German high com.nand
atill believe It can win a victorious
decision Jr. te west? C? pu the
Germans lost so many men that they
cannot afford to risk a further at
tempt to destroy the allied military
strength? ' '
If the Germans still believe' that
they can score a derisive victory, It
would not be logical for them to sp
ply their main efforts In the direc
tlon of Paris. The capture of Paris
would not end the war. It Is more
likely that they would attempt to
destroy the British force In the north
and capture yie channel ports. This
would enable them to use the Eng
lish channel for their submarines
nd force the English to transport
troops and supplies to the western
coast of France, where the submar
ines could more easily attack them.
as well as American transports. If
they still believe In a German victory
we might also expect them to risk
a general naval battle with the allied
fleets. Obviously, to be victorious In
the west, they must keep American
and British supplies from the French
coast by the use of submarines or
the German battle fleet. If, however,
they do not atmpt either to capture
the Channel ports or vanquish the
British navy this summer, It may
logically be concluded that the kaiser
o longer expects to destroy the al
lied armies in the west, and will at
tempt to continue In favor with the
German people by annexing new ter
ritory in Russia after a successful
defensive until the end of the war.
meanwhile satisfying the popular de
mand for military victories by minor
. successes In Italy, the Balkans or on
the Russian front.

It would seem that the time has
come to declare war upon the Bol-

have been assisting Germany to gain
control of banks and trading corpor

an underhanded way are cooperating
with the German army to prostrate
Russia under the kaiser's heel. The
ambassadors of the allied govern
ments In Russia hive been aware of
this condition during the past year,
and the fact that they have fled from
central Russia to a port of refuge

Thlr la a remarkable story ot tht
wct. Hawk Parson, a bandit chief,
widely known as "Th Titter Man,"

pel, who volunteers to go In search
of aid. She encounter Hawk, "Th
Tiger Man," who alter hearing her
story goes to th relief of th Im

en away under th leadership of
Hawk rarsons. Hawk conceives an
Infatuation tor Ruth and he carries
her away with him (o his cabin In a
secret reces In th desert. She at

This Is th beginning of "The Ti

sequently etcorts her to a settle
ment where tho rejoins her husband,
and then gives himself up to th of
ficers of 'the law on condition that
they bo permitted to hold their re
