SUMMARY OF WAR MADE
PUBLIC IS PROPITIOUS
■LONDON, Aug. 14.—Militarily the!
one outstanding feature of the year
1916-17 is that Britain h£s gained
the initiative. For the first time
since the war began Germany is en
tirely on the defensive. The mere
matter of reclaiming some 600
square miles on the Western front
doesn’t mean much geographically,
hut it speaks tremendously for the
increased support given the army be
the folks at home, aside from the
improved qualities of genralship at
the front.
Thanks to the preponderating and
evir increasing flow of munitions.
Haig is now able to impose his will
on Hindenburg whenever and where
ever he likes, despite the fact that
so far as man power is concerned
the Germans still considerably out
number the Allies in the West.
Even the reinforcements Hinden
berg has been able to bring from
the Russian front have not availed.
Thanks also to the speeding up of
aeroplane manufacture, along with
the adoption of new tvpe3 of ma
chines, Britain has definitely clinch-]
ed the mastery of the air which she
had come periously near losing.
1 The menace to the Suez Canal
and Egypt has been removed, and
Allenby’s men are now almost at
the gates of Jerusalem. With the
capture of Bagdad Gen. Maude ha3
shattered the German dream of a
highway from Hamburg to the Per
sian Gulf. An unusually heavy and
prolonged rainy season has hamper
ed operations in East Africa, but
only a small portion of Germany’s
last colony remains in his hands.
However, at no time since the war
started have conditions been less
propitious for the would-be prophet,
than today. The plans of each side
to starve the other out seem defini
tely doomed to failure. Despite the !
continued tightening of the British
blockade, the Central Powers have i
reached harvest time without col
lapsing. The U-boat warfare, al-'
though serious, has not met the ex
pectations of its instigators. Ger
many has been very hungry-—but
she is used to it. England has scar- i
cely begun to tighten her belt. The
Rhino is still a long way off. Rus- |
sia is an uncertain quantity. Amer-;
ica is in with both feet, but the j
full effect will not be felt until i
later.

LENINE WAS WITHOUT
DOUBT GERMAN SPY
PETROGRAD, Aug. 14.—The
Kerensky government now holds
wlmt hi considered positive proof
that Nikolai Lenine, who claimed
to he an ultra radical and who pro
moted the insurrection and rioting
on July lfi and 17, wherein over
five hundred were killed, was a Ger
I
man spy.
Lenine was a Russian revolution
ist who claimed to have been in ex
ile in Switzerland. After the revo
lution and the overthrow of the
: Tzar Lenine came back, aided by
the German authorities and endea
vored to propagate the idea of a
separate peace with th German and
Austrian powers.
His journey through Germany has
been traced by men . mitting that
they accompanied him and lie h ■
considerable money gi n to him e,i

The most import: ut testimony
given was the eonfes m o;' a soi

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—
The explosion which occurred in
Mare Island Navy Yard on July 9th

one were injured resulted from a
criminal conspiracy is the decision

The Navy League has official re

communicated to the Press, proving
that German spies wore responsible
for the disaster.
