Manufacturers and dealers are en
couraged under the policy of the navy
department to deal direct with the de
partnent. The purpose is to eliminate
the rniddleman in purchases of 'sup
plies and materials.
"Ii my annual report," says Rear
Adimiral Samuel Mc owan, "manufac
turers were warned against profiteer
ing agents, professional contractors,
and navd brokers. In our regular mail
lng circulars of January 8, 1918, we ex
iiressed the hope that 'manufacturers

:is it will prove of advantage to
theoa in bringing them in more inti

'"le' fact is the responsibility of
conl ttr:' t'irs was never so thoroughly
inve stigiled and they were never held
to a stricter aecountability than they
.:av e been since this country entered
I he war. The number of responsible
direct bidders has increased greatly
aid the number of agents and Internle
diaries has been reduced to a tin
Imum. The safeguards against prollt
eering have been strengthened, not re

starvuation, despite its German friends,
and General Mannerheim, commander
of the Finnish army, asked Mr. Mor
ris, American minister to Sweden,
what chance there was for Finland to
get food from the United States. Mr.
Morris told him plainly it was very
slim so long as Germany held the
country under her control. Ostensibly
as a measure to save food, the Finnish
government has ordered the expulsion
of all Jews.
When the news came of the assas
sination of Count von Mirbach, Ger
man ambassador to Russia, in Mos
cow, at the instigation of a group of
social revolutionists, there were
many predictions that the kaiser
would get revenge by sending a great
army to occupy the chief Russian
cities, and indeed it was semi-official
ly stated in Berlin that such would be
his course. But after breaking off
diplomatic relations the chief Hun ap
parently thought better of it and a
mild statement was issued hoping
"thatt tie Russian government and peo
ple will succeed in nipping the pres
ent revolutionary agitation in the
bud." It is not easy to see how Gcr
many. would gain much by further
grabbing in distracted and starving
Russia.
'Che pan-ferman party triumphed
over its olp ents tand forced the
resignation ofl Foreign Minister von
Kuehirnamnn tecause of his "peace im
possiblb by force" speech, and then
proceeded to pick Admnirlal von Hintze,
the trickiest and most disreputable of
Teuton diplomats, as his successor.
Great excitement in the reichstag re
suited and the socialists agreed not to
vote the war cr-edit. which couldl rnot
be passedi without their aid, until (he

von Tirpitz. As miniistor to China he
disgraced himself, anda as miinister to
Mexico he dlelib~era tely stirred up a
row between IHuerta and C'arranza in
order to embroil the Uniteda States.
T1hme French press accepts tihe selec
tion of Von Hintze as evidence that
the mtilitarists in Germany are strong
or than the diplomtats and1( are deter
mined upon a war to the finish. They
believe he will (10 the pan-Germans

Vlennui are asserting that both the
emperor and the empress should be
literally sequestered and made to take
orders from Berlin. Hungary, too, is
furious at Austria because the Hun
garian regiments were forced to bear
the brunt of the attack in Italy and
in some cases were practically wiped
(uit.
There were no major operations on
the Italian front last week, but the
Italians unceasingly harassed the
enemy by raids and sorties and in the
mountain region improved their own
positions considerably. The American
aviators on that front kept up their
excellent work.
On the western front there was an
ominous silence on the part of the
Iluns. The usual 40 days needed by
them to organize a new drive had
nearly expired, but still they did not
start. However, abnormal activity was
observed behind their lines, especially
in the regions where the Americans
are stationed. On 'T'eusdny the French
undertook the first considerable in
fantry operation in many lays and,
with the aid of tanks, advanced more
than a mile on a front of two and a
half miles northwest of Compiegne,
I'rlsoners and gunr were captured and
positions occupied that serve to pro
tect the important railway junction at
Estrees-St. Denis. General Petain also
took important ground east of the
Retz forest on the Marne front. There
were many raids by all the allied
farces (luring the week, and some ar
tillery activity beyond the ordinary in
the I3ritish sectors.
Such splendid work is being done by
the air forces of the allies on the west
front that military observers now as
sert the suleriority in the air now un
questionably rests with them. The
British flyers have engaged in a nun
her of extraordinary explotts, and the
French andi Americans are keeping up
their end (of it most satisfactorily. On
Wedlnesday a squadron of Amuerilean
scout phines flew back of the German
lines in the Chateau T.ihierry region
for 50 miles, obtaining valuable in
formation and all returning safely.
Colonel Roosevelt wvas elated by the
news that his youngest son, Lieut.
Quen tin Roosevelt, had downed his
first Hun piane. Bombing raids(1 on
German cities by the allied airmen are
i ncreaii ng in frequency arid effective
ness.
In prepa rationi for the next big drive
Von Hinadenburng called for a million
more men, to be taken fromt the fac
toaries, t heir phlaees being iil by p~ris
oners anad foreigners, a tid, coat rary to

NO IMMEDIATE NEED FOR
NERVOUS UNITS IN CLASS TWO
Washington.- With the calls for in
creasingly large numbers of draft
registrants to fill up training camps
and the first quotas of the 'na

soon class 2 men will be called for ser

anxiety on the part of these men or
their relatives. No call for fighting
men will be made upon class 2 men
In 1919, in all probability.
