"But if the Germans should get

"Yes; go to work as usual," shc

A somewhat different view of event-
ualitles is taken by Louis Puech, s Paris deputy. who is taking apromin- ent part in the work of the committee of deputies for the defence of Paris. He writes to Le Matin advocating the taking of certain precautionary meas- ures.
"The-capital is no more threatened
today than it was three months ago." says the deputy in his article. “No- front, no one fears s withdrawal. but we must exercise foresight. which we too often have failed to`do in the

21.-Owing to tho pause in`tho oper- ations on the western front, Hinden- burg and Ludcndorff have been ablc to take two days’ lcavo to join the sol- emn council- of Austrian generals at the headquarters of the Italian front. The two German leaders gave their advice on the best way to conduct the offensive with a view to breaking through into the Venetian plains. The visit of the commander-in-chief of the Teutonic forces indicates the import- ance attached by the Germans to the operations on the Piave front. They have probably realized the impossi- bility of breaking through the iron resistance of the Anglo-French army, and therefore determined to play their last card with an offensive in grand style against Italy.

The Panama Government obtains a-
