British front, accomiug to mili tary experts who see m the intensity ol: the (u-rnian can nonade at various points the preliminary steps of a new Gorman attack. Jt is pointed out that the fourth army group under Crown Prince Kupproclit of Bavaria has had leisure lor reorganization during the three weeks si nee it was engaged in hattlo and now is ready for a new effort along tho front. In all probability the new German offensive will be directed against the' Flanders front in an effort to reach the channel ports and isolate the British army and cut it off from its base. Germany strategy has succeeded in three efforts in breaking the allied lines and proved 'that the trench sys tem has become obsolete. This was done by means of ef fective and intense gas bombardment of an extended area back of the lines combined with the rush of an enormous force ii ion an extended front, going through tho weak spots and getting behind the portions that held, forcing a retreat along the whole line. Before reinforcements could roach the scene, a big advance was in each instance, scored by the enemy. Tho passing of the trench system of defense', vhich held for the past throe years, has forced new defensive tac tics upon the allies, though what they will be is not yet ap parent. The old system called for the holding of the lines with light forces, retaining in their rear large reserves to be used at attacked points, the theory being that the weakly held lines could bo defended until reserves were able to restore the balance. Tho, now Gorman penetration has Tendered tho old defense obsolete. It is not at all unlikely that the British may be forced to abandon Ypres and the channel ports in order to secure sufficient rescrvon to block the enemy thrusts behind the Nomine, and against Paris. This would shorten the allied line a hundred miles and not seriously handicap the allied forces. It would release the entire British army to aid in the defense of Paris and after all the battle is not for positions or territory, but for destruction of reserves. Writing of the prospects, Frank H. Simonds, the war critic says: Wo aro bound to see the allies lose more ground and possibly submit to other periods of great strain; we may Heo loom relinquish large areas of northern Franco, us Joffro did 1n 3 i 14, but we are bound also to recog nize that this chuuge In strategy Is duo to a return to the war of move ment and a "consequent return to those methods by which Joffro won the greatest battle in military hfctory before trench war came. And we must not attach to ground a value which it did not have in 1914 and has not now, nltho it may have possessed that value In the intermediate period. In 1918, as In HJ14, tho Oerman Is' staking all on a great effort, which can only succeed If it breaks tho power of resistance of bis foes and tills must bo broken before wo Americans Intervene in great numbers, jusi as in j ii i i it was essential to win uororo Russia became dangerous; und wo are likely to soo Koch follow the course of his old chief, Joffre and await tho right moment, sacrificing territory against that even more valuable commodity, time. And we owe it to the cause to perceive the con ditions or the struggle and not accept tho Oerman estimate of successes, which, nltho considerable, are not sufficient, and cannot, unless enormous ly Increased, mako his lust bid for military decision successful. Meanwhile Alneriea is rushing the reserves necessary to strike the final and victorious blow, when tho time comes so t hat loss of land anyone lose hope lor a victorious outcome is certain. Four big offensives have failed to break tho allied militarv or ganization or demoralize the defense and neither a fifth, . '..ii. ii i i . 1 si.M a orsevciiiit can aoeoiupiisii ir. Every Man (By liuymond S. Spears of The Vig ilantes.) Every citizen is Hie guardian of his own share or portion of I lie natiniuil honor, t'pnii him rests the duly, and sometimes the necessity, of perform ing sumo task or undertaking some fiat that will cause him certain ef forts and demand of him a definite sacrifice fur the cnmninn gond. If n man does not know what is within his power In necnmplish, and what rests upon him to do, then he is ignorant of the liuiilauii'iilal rcipiirc mctils of his siliintinti. His first public task is to discover his duty, n ml then he must dn it. It may he Hint Hie faithful per fiirmntiiT of a single thing, oft re pented, may serve to redeem the pledge mere living is sufficient to prove nsiainst each individual. Thus the wnrkmuii driving rivets in a ship's plates limy lie lining his utmost mid his best ; on the other liiind, men liv ing in comfortable seclusion nf study and theory, may very well discover NATIONAL FORES!

Peti tions are being circulated in this city by paid solicitors from the outside, the object or which Is to Inltiute a bill to prevent the advertising of de linquent taxes. These have been signed by a good many people, and It Is safe to say that a large percentage of the signers do not realize that they are playing directly into the bands of the speculators who would sell the property of hard-pressed or careless taxpayers without giving thein the benefit of public notice that the taxes were due. The effort to suppress the publica tion or the delinquent tax lists In the various counties of the state is not without design. There Is a reason why canvassers are being paid to go into all the counties of the state of Oregon for the purpose or circulating such petitions. Those people are not working In the Interests of the tax payers, because the taxpayer does riot pay for the advertising. The tax shark is the man most Interested, In having the advertising eliminated. It Is not a proposal to reduce the cost of advertising that is being made. The purpose is to suppress the publication altogether. Tho tax shark with the elimination of the advertising of delinquent tax list would reap a harvest by tbe elim ination of competition in bidding at tax sales. AFTER JULY 20 Stockton' cui., June 21.- Stockton will been mo a n on -saloon town Snturtlny, July 20th.

It ilnos not, how ever prevent the sale of bottle jood bv licensed houses in nnckaes of 21 ounces or over. Saloon's Arguments ' The two principal arguments ad vanced by the saloons in an effort to defeat (be ordinance were, first, that tho ordinance would not accomplish its purported purpose, inasmuch as the rest of the county would remain wet, and, second, that tbe voter should wait for the Kotnincr bill to be submitted in November. 1 1 PLEADS GUILTY SACKAMKNTO, Oil., June 21.
