its way in the great European Struggle. When the kaiser retired his closest friend and confidant, it can be safely assumed that the Iron will of the ruler has flexed, and that other and greater concessions are in order-

Readers will learn with some surprise that many German papers and publicists charge Bethmann-Hollweg with having brought America into the war.

It is true that he and the foreign secretary were, under the kaiser, responsible for foreign affairs and that they blundered seriously in their attempted negotiations with Mexico and Japan against the United States, but as everybody knows It was the U-boat campaign, approved apparently by all Germany, which compelled the United States to fight. Under BethmannHollweg, the Von Tirpits policy was once abandoned and it was not resumed until the argument of military necessity prevailed against BetbmannIlollweg's former judgment.

Apparently Germany blames the deposed premier for not having succeeded in reconciling this country to.the destruction of Its rights at sea and the murder of Its citizens. They ought to know that that was a larger order than any German statesman could fill.

WATCH THE8E.

Agents of the kaiser in this country find one of their most handy disguises in the term "pro-America." It sounds

the president, and by their mistaken all right at first blush, but the pemiefTorts have given the suffrage cause clousness and mischief in the term is t)ie greatest set-back It has had In the acute-

Mark Twaln'n celebrated proof that

fleas are a good thing on dogs might possibly be adapted to prove that Mayor Thompson of Chicago and others like him are useful, even while they continue to invest the United States.

There are others. They hurrah for the United States just as he does, and they continually insist that the United States shall be first, which Is also Thompson's cry. Their Idea of what "America First" means Is that Americans should consider their own selfish interests in everything before they consider fhelr duty.

They would not send food abroad because America should come first. For the same reason they would not send men abroad. To make America first they would have America profit by the war and take any benefit that may arise from it without taking any effective part In it.

But the thought behind all of this is very diffrent from what appears on the surface. The real thought Is that their particular brand of Americanism will help Germany and make Prussia first.

It only remains to observe that a Considerable number of those whose Americanism is of the Bill Thompson brand are editors of German language newspapers. Mayor Thompson ought to resign and get' a Job on one of them.

THE EAST HAMMER.

War news yesterday told of the Russians driving into Novicia and holding that point against counter attacks by the Germans. This would indicate the first real progress by the Russians since Kerensky inspired them to again take up arms.

Twice before has a Russian force swept victoriously onward in Galicia. At the beginning of the war the greater part of the province was taken, includ-

ing the capital, Lemberg and the strongest fortress, Przemysl. But when Hindenburg was ready for his counterattack the Russians found themselves hopelessly outclassed in guns and even lacking ammunition for what poor artillery they did possess. They were compelled to retreat, leaving almost all their conquests to the enemy.

Again in .1916 Brusslloff led a victorious army into Galicia. He conquered Bukowlna and advanced irresistibly till the fall of Lemberg seemed certain. Suddenly, in front of Halicz, he halted. He did not retreat but for the better part of a year the Russian line has remained stationary. The halt in 1918 was not due to any stiffening of the German defense. It resulted from the lack of Russian war material, perhaps deliberately induced by the traitors in the Petrograd autocracy.

Brusslloff has been quoted as saying that when he next advanced in Galicia he would have sufficient material to enable him to carry through his plans His present undertaking seems to indicate that his requirements have been fulfilled. While some Russian leaders were exhorting the soldiers and upbuilding the republican army others were busily but quietly at work piling up the war materials which the new army requires. The months were not lost time. The new Russian army Is stronger than the old not only in its better and more intelligent spirit of patriotism but also in the essential material of war.

It appears that Sarah Bernhardt Is not only sitting up and taking notice but is Walking around and making dates for her delayed farewell tour, Marvelous Sarah.

Maximilian Hardin's paper is said to have been suppressed for the remainder of the war. He may find difficulty in keeping his staff together for that length of time.

Uncle Joe Cannon says he never drank a gallon of whisky altogether in his life. Well, who said he did? It was the stogie we were talking about.

The home guards should be as carefully selected as soldiers of the regular army. All the enemies of this country are not in Germany, by any means.

Brazil" grabbed the German interned ships in her harbors and then notified Germany she was going to do it. This was a quite Prussian proceeding.

In these days of world-wide change and universal shattering of old traditions, when all existing systems of government are being tried as by fire and democracy finds itself everywhere at death-grip with absolutism in new and sinister forms, it behooves every true American to hold fast to the ideals upon which this Republic was founded, that he may still continue to enjoy "life, liberty^and the pursuit of happiness."

Will the German Upheaval Break the Kaiser's Yoke?

"The Imperial Government is now on the defensive at home, and is compelled to deal in concrete fashion with the growing dissatisfaction of the German people," is a significant fact that stands out clearly and distinctly in the opinion of the New York World. Nevertheless, in the minds of other cautious American editors, we are warned not to expect too much from the crisis in Berlin, for Germany is not Russia, HOE is Wilhelm a Nicholas.

The Boston News Bureau, however, perceites that whereas in the early days of the war, "all was vaunted political unanimity in the Fatherland," to-day, "the vast change in the military setting has its counterpart in the political transformation. Disillusion has brought dissension confidence has given way to criticism lines of faction are deeper than ever, over grave issues of war aims and war conduct." Vorwaerts, the German Socialist organ, in a warning to the German Government, remarks, "let none be blind to the fact that at this time a certain unrest is spreading throughout the nation."

In THE LITERARY DIGEST for July 21st, the leading article shows every angle of the significant developments that have been taking place in Berlin during the past few weeks, and the influence that they will exert upon the conduct of the war.

Restaurant Habits*

Editor of th« Tribune*.—I sympathize with your correspondent who fled from a restaurant when one of the employes began sweeping dust over the food set before him for I, too, •Qiave a grievance.

I want to register a protest against the common practice in many lunch rooms of "swabbing" up the table or counter with a rag or napkin that usually is so soiled and dirty looking it cannot be other than a haven for a host of germs. In one place in particular, a place that prides itself upon the whiteness of Its walls and windows, I notice that the waitresses carry similar soiled napkins tucked under their armpits upon the hottest of days. Surely this cannot be a sanitary practice.

I nearly had my head taken off ths other day-by a waitress whom I asked to bring me another plate. The first plate she had set before me was badly cracked and chipped, so much so in fact that in the crevices I could distinctly see dirt. I remember reading that unless such a plate was exceptionally well washed particles of food and filth were likely to remain In the cracks a nd decompose and thus breed germs. Of course, I realize that restaurant owners must stand a lot of breakage of tableware and that It probably cuts down profits materially, but when it comes to a question of buying new tableware or losing old customers, I should think they would deem it wise to buy new plates.

Can't we get a law compelling all food servers to wear gloves and to change them frequently? Day after flay I sit in restaurants and marvel at the amount of dirt some waiters seem able to get under their fingernails. My own sex is Just as bad. Time and time again I have noticed the waitresses in classy tea rooms finger and fuss with their hair and then without even wiping off their fingers handle a piece of fancy pastry. M. A. P.

The influences are good for the seeking of positions or appointment of any sort.

The stars that promise naucA to those who make serious quest for employment also seem to foreshadow many scandals and libel suits some of which are due to Jealousy.

Women today should be faMtmate, for while the planets presage tears for them, the indications are that they will smile through the tears.

It is a favorable direction for soldiers. r-ncouraging recognition and advancement. •Dinners or meetings at Which social and serious interests combine are under a most fortunate government today.

It Is a fairly good rule for places of amusement, and actors and actresses should make the most of their opportunities under this configuration.

Fame in the army will come to more than one American known In the theatrical world.

It is an auspicious sway for brief trips and for family reunions. Warning is given that owing to reflex influences tendency toward melancholy and despondency will be marked in the coming weeks.
