AN IMPRESSION OF POWER.

driven trucks in use by the Germans,
trucks with apparently unlimited
horsepower, fitted with knives and
scythes that NOW thru hedges, thrust
aside stone walls and pass anywhere
and everywhere, pushing difficulties
and embarrassment aside and plod-
ding on and on and on. The CORE
spondent says there seems no limit to
the number of these vehicles.
And so the German armies march
and push their way stolidly. ploddingly,
powerfully day after day, immense,
forceful symbolic Of power scientifical-
ly applied, a massed terror moving like
a glacier and as pitilessly.

here and there fairs were conducted at

did to the others that continued 10

with shrewd observers. They concen-
trate their attention upon one side OF

that there is another side.
The fact that some of the old fairs
went out Of existence. was no cause
for regret. Some of them We're by no
