MAY BALK HINDENBURG'S PLANS Von Hindenburg's plans for a new offensive in western France may be disorganized by the development of a major offensive by the . Italians against the Austro Hungarians, in the opinion of J.' W. T. Mason, the United Press war expert. If the present retirement of the Hapsburg armies be comes a disorderly rout, Von Hindenburg must go to the assistance of his ally at any cost. If he does not, German militarism will certainly lose its final influence at Vienna; and Austria-Hungary might as well be driven out of the war, not by hunger, but by defeat on the field of battle. Von Hindenburg has already taken chances by not hurrying help to the Hapsburgers. The Austro-Hungar-ians are doubtless already blaming the Piave disaster on Germany's reluctance to send troops to Italy. A series of fast drives by General Diaz at this time might easily demoralize the retreating Austro-Hungar-ians. Once a disorderly retirement began on the east bank of the Piave, pressure from 'Vienna for help from Germany would assume the character of an ultimatum. There are difficulties'-however, in the situation which may make the adeption of forward tactics by the Italians impracticable. The' Italian1 front is now under- supreme control of General FFoch. -The Italians themselves have made no preparations for a major offensive of their own this summer. They have been waiting until General Foch gives the word for a concerted offensive by all tin allied armies, in which the principal part will be played by the Americans. To insure success to a great thrust' against the Austr.0 Hungarians,' General Foch might have to detach import and units from his forces in France. - If this were done, disclosures of weakness, in Flanders,. Picardy or Cham- pagne might be followed by important consequences. , The Italian front is not the main sector of the war. ' It is doubtful therefore whether General 'Foch .would be warranted in weakening his defense of Paris and the channel ports by moving large bodies of troops into Italy for offensive purposes. 1 ' i : h But it will doubtless be a development of the major plan of reaching Paris or the channel ports. As for the submarine offensive, sinking of an inbound British-Amer-can transport off Bermuda gives conclusive proof that German operations are still proceeding and that big game, instead of coastal steamers, is being sought. Warnings are out today along the whole Atlantic sea board and in the vicinity of Bermuda to be on the watch for U-boats. Incidentally, when the United Press stated Saturday that it ' was known positively German sua marine operations were continuing it is understood some intimations of the transport incident had arrived. As for the land situation, army officials entertain a broader optimism now than they have for months. Un stinted praise is accorded the Italians, French and British for brilliant operations against the Austrians, and there- r j 1 1 i il. JV -1 it i. 4-!v.n is a nrmer ouuook as 10 uie iuiuiu man at unv ume tince March 21. The Oregonian reports a new government order com ing to Oregon mills for 09,000,000 feet of fir lumber;, it also reports that the mill shipments of lumber, last week were the heaviest in the history of the Northwest, and that Portland is building more ships for the emergency fleet than any other city in the country. All of which should be an excellent excuse for the Oregonian; and its cide kick, The Telegram, to soundly denounce the govern ment for ignoring the Pacific Northwest Coast and send ing all the war orders to the democratic south. The president ended with his opposition today the talk of changing the draft limit. He realizes that there are still several million men in the 21 to HI class to draw from pnd that the proposed changes would serously disturb industries and business life. His judgment is sound. "Baseball may be the national game all right- but the ir for democracy is putting it out of business just the me. ' war same. LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE iTIIIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL . AT THE BANK The silly season is not supposed to have come, one of our valued exchanges remarks. "The fall campaign should be very short. :Up to about next October,1 there is no reason for .any out-cropping of partisan, feeling. Yet in spite of the above,' there is a lot of the most inappropriate political talk in congress. A prominent Republican senator got up the other day, and demanded that the president "scatter the bunch of economic fakers and howling dervishes now in office. When a man gets in that frame of mind, it is useless to argue with him. But one finds it impossible to believe that any large section of his constituents would defend him for such an utterance. Take a man like William G. McAdoo for' instance, secretary of the treasury. Is he an economic faker? Is he a howling dervish? Here we find a man who has handled the biggest financial proposition ever put over in the world in an equal time, the marketing of three great Liberty loans, every one of liem oversubscribed. Or do they refer to Mr. Wilson's secretary of state, a ained diplomat? Or to Mr. Daniels, whose administra tion of the navy has scarcely been questioned since we got into the war? Or to Mr. Baker, who came to Washington alter serving as the mayor of one of our greatest cities? Mr. Wilson has as advisers the ablest business men in the country. The phrase quoted above is a fair sample of a lot of the talk that is going around the country. And the only effect of it is to strengthens President Wilson and his advisers with the people. They are doing wonders with a hard task- a task never paralleled m the history of the world,, and one made harder by the bitter and irresponsible criticism with which it is attacked. Of special interest to Canadians who happen to be liv- ing in the United States are the dispatches of yesterday tnat the treaty had been ratified by the senate whereby Americans of draft age may be brought back to the United States from Canada and also, Canadians of the English dralt age may be taken from this country by the Canadian authorities and inducted into the Canadian service. Hereafter any Canadian in this country between the ages of 20 and 44 may be taken by . the Canadian authorities and any American in Canada between the ages of 21 and 31 may be brought from Canada to this country and placed in the service. The draft ljmit for British subjects is between the ages of 2ty and 44 years. Citizens who would be exempt, in their own- country, -are not to be called for service under the new; treaty. After this treaty has been ratified by both governments, men of draft age are to enlist where they are living or return within 60 days to their own country. The widely advertised discovery of one loyal socialist in the United States turned out to be a hoax. Eugene V. Debs boldly proclaims his adherance to the cause of the kaiser, on essentially the same grounds that the bolsheviki is doing the Hun's propaganda work in Russia. . Those Yankee boys still continue to move right along toward Berlin. They swept the Germans out of Balleau wood last night, incidentally taking 221 of them prisoners, including a real live major of the imperial army. There still remains the hope that the 4th of July will bring rain to the Willamette valley. -essfea.

I chnttett aud laughed with him, for gottiog to to dignified, exhilarated by the swiftly moving ear, and the fresh air. I had carcXully puuicd my veil be fore we left the restaurant so that my hair would iot blow, and look untidy and so win me a reprimand from George who had very little patience with strag gling locks. When we reached the town George proposed I wait for hiin in the parlor of the inn. I gladly consented. Like aU women I had powder, etc., in my hand leg. I would freshen up a little while waiting. He had said something about having a bite before we started back as it would be quite late when we reach ed home. I bathed my face and hands, then rearranged my hair, and brushed my clothes. George said I didn't look as if I had been out of try c.vn boudoir; and lie said it in such r complimentary tone that 1 blushed with pleasure.

I never had been there and it was such a pretty place. vve had not K0116 far. on our way home when a most terrific thunder storm came ni. I uewr had seen sharp er, more terrifying flashes of lightning; never heard thunder that each , peal seemed to strike so directlv near me I tried to be brave, but did not suc ceed very well. "It is all your own fault!" George grumbled. "Had you not urged me to rmain we would have been at home before' this boast lv 'storm camo tip.i Serves me right also for taking Bitch a trip in an open car just to pleaso you. I'll never do it again! " "Pleaso don't say that!" I begg.M. "Doa't talk to me, I'm disgusted! " and the remainder' of the way home neither spoke. The ending of our almost p.u-liicr day, had as usual spoiled what ever pleasure I had had. I wished we had not gono more than once before I went to bed. George didn 't sp."ak a sin . elo pleasant word all the evemn'g. Evelyn Eeeves Names Her Baby Girl ' For Helen. Before the evening was over however 1 had a message "from Hurts Eeeves that effectually banished my depression and gave me something to think about asido from my own troubles. "It's a girl, and kvelyn says it is to be named for you," Kurtz told mo his voice vibrating. with prido. "Oh, neally! when can I come overT" I asked delighted that they should have thought of me. ''Tomorrow the nurse says," he re plied aft?r a moment. "She came to town, about noon. W,i tried to get you several times but could not f'ud you-" "I have been out to Leonard Park with Mr. Howard. Give my love to Eve lyn, and tell her I will be over the very first thing in the morning." "Oh, George!" I exclaimed. "Evelyn has a baby girl and she has named it after me ard I am to go ov.er and see her the first thing in the morning." Helen is a very 11110 name," was all he said. The look on his face also discouraged any further attempts to talk of tn, to me, wonderful event. "Mrs. Collins and that bunch are right," I murmured to myself wh,?n af ter waiting a few minutes, I had goue upstairs to sue what else aside from a gift already prepared, I could find to give mv littl.j namesake. Surely when a baby was named after oiip it was one's duty to remember the child more lavishly than just an ordinary, baby would be remembered. George would not like me to have children, I can aee that" and a queer little lonesome shivei ran over me. Tho next day I could hardly cat my breakfast I was in such a hurry to get over tand tee the baby my namesake. It seemed to mo that Gootgo never had idled so over his breakfast, that he never "had been so hard to please. His egg was not cooked right, and he had to haY another one. By that time his coffee was cold, and that had to be sent back and heated. I fidgeted dread fully, and he noticed it I was sure though he said nothing. He 's doing it purposely, I thought, he do 'mi 't like babies, and has no sym pathy with my .desire to be with Evolyn The moment be left I rushed to mv roorj. changed to a street costume and almost ran over to Evelyn's. She look ed so proud, go happy it almost made me cry. And her mother-in-law spoke so beautifully to her and of the baby that I as sure all her troubles in that direction were over, But the climax of my joy came when the nurse brought the btle pink bundle in and let m.9 hold hor.

"In principle, I agreed to four of t'ac principles of President "Wilson's message," Von Hertling said. ' Ho de clared it was a possible basis of peace, bt as Wilson had not replied, there was "no use of continuing the spinn ing of the threads thus started." "There is still less object," he said, "nfter staeinents made sinoe that time, especially from America." In the course of Von Euehlmann's speech, the foreign minister said: ' W,e hope our enemies will find their way in tho course of time to approach us with an offer of peace corresponding to the situation and to the necessities of German life. ' ' What Germany wants is to liv strongly and freely within its historic frjutiers. We want overseas possessions corresponding with our wealth and our gieatness and liberty to carry our com merce throughout tk world. "The military initiative was not ours, We can hope that the summer and au tuain wil bring us a new and great suc cess.
