THE SPIRIT THAT WINS.

The Australians had pierced the Hin
denberg line Moving forward immedi-
ateIy behind their own barrage. in the thin
grey light OF the early dawn, they entered
the second line trenches thirty minutes
after the start. So far the days business
had proceeded like c10ckwork. But now
the machine did not function so smoothly.
The British who were to have effected a
juncture with them through Buuecourt,
had met an unexpected check, and the
Australians found themselves without sup
port-Germans in front, on their fanks,
and partly on their rear. But they did not
retreat. They had been told to take a Ger
tain section OF trenches. They had taken
it. They would keep it.
Followed days and nights of unremit-
ting fighting, in which the Germans hurled
charge after charge against the intruders
Smoking calmly the Australians stood
breast high over the parapet and fired
carefully, methodically, like men practis-
ing in a shooting gallery.
Finally their numbers were so reduced
that they could OrIv hold 500 wards Of the
1900 they had first sized. Things looked
past praying for. And then the order to
retire came along part of the line, "Who
said so2" flashed the men whom the rumor
tOuChed-fOr rumOr it turned out to be.
"What officer OF ours gave that order?"
For men and officers had determined
that if the Germans closed entirely around
them, they would hack their way back to
their own Iines-the only retreat they con-
| templated. But reinforcements came UP
and the position was made good.
Only one incident in a battle lasting
three years; only a few yards in battle line
extending hundreds of miles. but it illus
trates the spirit which animates democ-
racy against tvranny-the spirit that
checked Germany when that country was
technically invncible, the spirit that is
crushing hr now
And so it has been since the world
began-denocracy has always been out
numbered, but it has always won America
takes the same spirit to the war-the spirit
that has achieved the impossible more
| than once already.
