More Hopeful The New York Times believes the German of
fensive has been checked. It summarizes the
military situation in these words:
Because all the German armies from the
Scarpe to the Oise advanced at once, we necessarily think of them as one army. Yet each army has its objective, .and if each had advanced by itself it would be easy to keep those differing
objectives in mind. We can measure better
what the British and French have done if, instead of thinking of them as having checked one army group, we think of them as having checked at least two which, though they happened to be striking in the same direction were striking for different purposes. Now that they have definitely checked these armies, and are actually counterattacking and driving them back at certain points, it might be as well to remember that the attack on Arras,- for instance, was a campaign in itself, conducted by a great army for a specific strategic purpose. We can think of
Gran'ts Virginia campaign and Sherman's Georgia campaign as two different things because, though their object was ir. general the same, they were widely separated geographically. If they had been able to advance side by side, it would have seemed like one movement, we should have thought of it as one movement, just as we think now of this German advance as one. But the Britons who pulverized the German offensive against Arras were fighting a whole army with a specific objective, and their achievement was as notable in a way as if Johnston had been able to defeat Sherman's army and keep it from crossing Georgia. The Arras defeat was the most notable and decisive repulse that any of the German armies have received in the advance of these several armis, though there begins to be ground for hope that that army which advanced against Petain will receive a still more thorough one. If it does, its defeat will be more important in results than the defeat of the army which moved against Arras. This morning's news gives us no ground for boasting, only ground for hope ; but the Allies are no longer,
merely holding the Germans, they are now beginning to bite into them. ' Has the counterof fensive for which Foch was appointed Generalissimo begun? The time for it to begin is not until after the Germans are definitely held all along the line. They were so held yesterday, and the attacks which are beginning against their front may be the beginning of the counterof fensive, but that is a thing we shall have to wait to find out. If, however, the attack which, the British are making on the Ancre, in which they have already scored some successes, proves to be a serious one, it is easy to see how it would link up with the French attack near Lassingy. ' The two prongs of the of the pincers, pushed forward far enough at these two points, would pinch off the whole southwestern end of the German army.' We can only wait and see. But the day's news is cheering. Everywhere the great advance is at a standstill, and whether the attacks on it are local ones or are to link up in a great counterof fensive, they, are attacks. In other words, the French and British are so far from being defeated that they are more on the offensive than the Germans are.

Bombarding Paris From Indianapolis News
HE German bombardment 'of Paris under present
conditions Is In violation of the law of nations, though that fact will not weigh with the German
government. Paris Is, it is true, a fortified city. But it is not under siege. , The rule, of course, is that even an invested city may not be bombarded without motive, and without giving the commander a chance to send away non-combatants. When this can not be done, or when the people refuse to leave, then a bombardment is law
ful as part of the operations intended to force capitula
tion. Even then every effort is made to spare churehes and historic buildings, the fire being limited as far as possible to the forts defending the city. The purpose Is
not to destroy the town, but to capture it.
Not one of these requirements is being observed by
the Germans. They are pitching shells into the city
from a distance of sixty miles, and it is impossible for
them to know where the shells will fall. The bombard
ment was begun without notice. The city was not in
vested, is indeed hardly within the sphere of military
operations. The purpose is, not to capture the city, but
to destroy it, and to terrorlzethe people. In no partic
ular is this a legal bombardment.
With characteristic impudence, the Germans insist
that the French government is responsible for the de
struction of Paris churches and the murder of women and
children attending service. So the Belgians were respon
sible for the wholesale murders done in their country by the Germans, and the Americans were alone to blame for
their own deaths on the Lusitania. We have another
chapter added to the criminal record of the German government. Again we see that it is bound by no law except that of "frightfulness." The object is again to break the spirit of a people and to destroy its morale
through terror. But the world has learned to expect the worst from Germany. Its government is without sense of shame, wholly emancipated from legal and moral
restraints.
THE DUTCH PROTEST
s ' " j 1 rmer
By Hal Pod. "Richmond citizens need not worry further regarding the income tax and the amount they may have to pay," remarked Henry Weetenberg, "fdt I
have figured out a method that cannot fail. Here is the method by whicn
you may know exactly what your income tax payment will be:
"Divide your total income by your weekly salary, and then subtract therefrom the aee of your wife's
youngest sister. To this add the date of your birth, multiply by the license number on your automobile, divide by the number of more years you expect your mother-in-law to live, add the total weekly salary you think you ought to be getting, but ain't and there you've got it" A Richmond man. who had been traveling in the West, returned to our fair city a few days ago. .and was discussing his experiences with a few of bis old friends. One thing be said was that the big fish out in the rivers of the west eat the little sardines, the same as the bass out here eat the little minnows. That may or may not be true, but one thing we would like to know is how the big fish get little sardines out of those tin boxes. Richmond restaurants are observing this wheatless day business to the letter, for which, of course, they deserve credit About the only place we can find wheat on a wheatless day is in the dictionary. After officiating at . two weddings and one funeral aU in a single day,
one of our Richmond preachers remarked that business seemed to be picking up. And now that Richmond Is -saloon-less we wonder what time the old man will be getting home on Saturday nights.
After purchasing cigarettes in half
a dozen Richmond cigar stores ana finding that they charge 13 cents for our favorite brand in one place, 12 cents in another and an even dime in still another, we arise to suggest that somebody call a gettogether meeting. Frank Strayer says that he is go ing to turn over a new leaf as he does not have any desire to be going to the same placs in which the Kaiser is most apt to spend eternity. Judging from the number of drunks about town the two or three days preceding the sounding of the death knell for the Richmond saloons; we are inclined to take that near-beer camouflage story handed out by the local bartenders with a bit of salt. It was a great night alright, but as this happens to be the day after the night before Oh, boy! A good many Richmond men are in the same fix as we are about this new time. If you used to get up at 6 and you now get up at 5, what used to be now 7, what is now 5 once being 6
that is. you are really getting up one hour before.it is really 6 which is
now 5, when you formerly got up one
hour later than what is now 6 was
then 7 ah, what's the use? Mrst
thing we know we'll be meeting ourselves Just getting up when it's time to go to bed.
There is a sign out. in front of a
Richmond business house which reads: "Don't go somewhere else to get skinned out of your money come in here."
B-r-r-r-r-r Methinks the weather
man must be asleep on the job.
Will Reller pointed out a young
man to us on the street the other day
and said that he was certainly a promising youth. We admitted it. This same youth has been promising to pay back that three bucks he owes us for the last month.
NOT BAD PHILOSOPHY Here is the philosophy of the aviator, which is rather sensible philosophy just at this time when the great world issue is at its crisis: Of two things, one is certain. Either you are in the air or you are on the ground. - If you are on the ground, there is no need to worry. If you are in the air, one of two things is certain. Either you are flying straight or you are turning over. If you're flying straight, there is no ne'ed. to worry. If you are turning over, one of two things is certain. Either you fall or you don't. If you don't fall, there is no need to worry. If you do fall, one of two things is certain. Either you are injured or you are not injured. If you are not injured, there Is no need to worry. If you are injured, one
of two things is certain. Either you are injured slightly or you ara injured seriously. V. ' : If you are Injured slightly, there Is no need to worry. If you are injured seriously, one of two things is certain to happen. Either you recover or .you die. If you recover, thero is no need to worry. If you die, you can't worry. -So why worry? Theyare trying to think up a new name' for von Hindenburg's war epigrams. Why not call them Ivory Dust? One thing we have always wanted t know is how many lumps Mr. Hoover puts in his coffee. In the meantime, don't ' be hunpatrlotie. Eat the reduced bread portion and be glad you have it Well, we see the Germans Have won the well-known war again This is the fifth time they Have won this war. , The trouble seems to be that the war Positively refuses to stay won. It's a most cantankerous war that way. Wars are always fickle. Recently the Germans have- won the war Only about once a year. With a little more efficiency The Germans ought to be able To win the war about twice a year. And keep the home folks kidded.

DINNER. STOHIES
The difference, not merely of de
gree, but of kind, which is supposed
to separate the English rector from
the inferior order of curates is amus
ingly exemplified in the following:
Returning to his parish after his auaumn holiday, a dignified country
clergyman noticing a woman at her
cottage door with a baby in her arms,
asKea: "Has that baby been baptized?" "Well, sir," replied the curtsying mother. "I shouldn't like to .say as much as that, but your man came and did as much as he could." Five-year-old Mary, who is always anxious to be In everything that goes on, lives in a small town where the long suffering minister still endures donation parties to make up hi3 back
salary. Just before the last one she begged eagerly: "Can't I take something, too, muvver?" "No; if father and I take something, that will be plenty." But the child could not bear to give up the idea, so she ransacked the whole bouse for something suitable. Finally she appeared before her mother with a worn and faded dress of her own. "Please, muvver, can't I take this? See, it's not a speck of good for any. thing," she urged.
