U. S. Troops TO Hold Important
Position on Western Front

Surprising that this Is the section
picked for the American expedition
airy army it seems reasonable to pre-
sumo there will soon be another drive
at the basic city of st. Quentin car
ried out by the Americans.
ST. Quentin and the city of LaFere
the latter located approximately 10
miles to tho south, are the founda-
tions on which Hindenburg built his
famous Zine" The German front in
this particular section swings in a
great arc from st. Quentin to LaFere.
below Laon and then sharply upward
again along the front where the
French have recently won their won
derful success in the Aisne drive. to
Rheims.
From this description, It Will be
seen that penetration Of the German
lines anywhere along this arc not
only would menace the German grip
on all of Flanders and Belgium to
the north. but likewise would give
opportunity for q tremendous flank
ing movement on the German lines to
the south
For this reason some Of the flercest
fighting OF the war has made the st.
Quentin sector bloody ground on the
Western front. Directly ahead Of the
city lies some OF the most terribly
ravished ground Of all that which the
Germans relinquished IN that "strate-
gic retreat" Dispatches received IN
April and May from William Philip
Sims and Henry Wood. the United
Press staff correspondents with the
British and French armies, told vivid
ly OF the destruction wreaked upon
the villages OF Vermand, Ham, St.
Simon, Savy and others in the path
Of this retreating horde.
BY the time American troops mr.
rive there-if the Washington re-
ports are accurate-they will, how
ever, find this wasted land all re-
, built New roads have been con-
structed and the great Jagged holes
left by shells smoothed over in part
at least
The st. Quentin sector Is ideally
located for the American front"
Two big trunk lines OF railways will
give full access to it, the land is
gently level and drained by the
Somme River Beyond St. Quentin
the land held by the Germans be-
] comes more hilly.

NEW YORK, July al. as report
cd from Washington, Major-Goneral
Pershing's expeditionary army is to
be given a place between the French
and British armies I'm the western
theatre Of war, they will have ono of
tho most important sections OF the
whole western front under their care.
No one knows exactly the present
junction point OF the French and
British armies, but it is somewhere
around st. Quentin and Nahere. The
most southerly point mentioned IN
British Official statements as having
been fought over by Field Marshal
Haig's forces is Fayet, about one mile
south Of st. Quentin.
SaYy, not more than two miles fur
Their south around st. Quentin, has
frequently been mentioned in the
French War Office statements. II was
captured by French troops early in
April, and presumably is occupied by
them now
st. Quentin is an important key
point in the DQuai- Cambrai-LaFere
line Of the German defense on the
Western front The British and
French offensive of March and April
brought the Allied forces to within
a mile Of the city. 1t was at tho time
OF the offensive, apparently one OF
the main obiectivcs Of the drive by
which the French and British fol
lowed up Hindenburg's famous
strategic retreat Then, when the
city was within actual sight Of ths
Allied troops, a weakness in the Ger.
man defense developed elsewhere
along the Franco-British front caused
a change in plans. and the drive OF
st. Quentin was temporarily held III
pending blows struck at the weaker
spots
AS far rs official statements for III,
past three months have shown, tn,
ALLIED line in this particular sector
now runs something like this:
From Gonnelieu to Villers Guislain
10 Epehy. TO Ronssoy. Hargicourt
Villeret. lie Verguier. Pontru. Mails
semy, Fresnoy. lie Petit. Fayet. Sc
lency, savy Chauny, Coucy lie Cha
teau, Landricourt. All these towns
are held by the French and British
troops.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AMERICAN TROOPS IN
FRANCE


IT was with thrill of iudescribabe pride JOY that
the people Of this country learned that some Of their
maohless regular soldiers and marines had landed on
French soil to constitute the first elements of what
eventually is TO be immense American army under
General Pershing.
The contemplate little American army thus be-
gins to follow in the footsteps OF the contemplate lit
tie British army" which the corseted martnets of the
Prussian machine affected to despise Just as
the British wonderful account OF themselves so
It is expected will our own regulars who have never
failed to do their duty and carry the flag on to fresh
triumphs aud glories
AT last the wooden sword which the Prussans told
their people all Uncle Sam would be able TO WELD
turns out to be steel sword with sharp edge and
sharper point
Our cruisers, fast destroycrs our hospital corps
our engineers, practical woodsmen our ambulance
men and part OF our regular army already working
against Germany.
As the weeks go by more and more Of our troops
viii find their way to the front The truth will slowly
penetrate the mary-mad German mind Leaders and
men will both learn from contact that this coun-
try has drawn Its sword return 10 the scab-
bard until victorious peace has been won.
America has decreed that the awful menace Of ruth
loss German militarism must be driven from the
world and America will stay tho job until 1t is I'm
ished
Our boundless resources our food our money. our
munitions our ships men will all be poured into
the scale against the Kaiser.
The Teutons have reached the peak OF their power
and from now diminishing quantity with
America in the field. the Allies have not yet reached
INC acme OF their power With in the war; the
kaiserist forces become increasing quantity Il be-
comes a simple problem in mathematics In war OF
attrtion that side wins which has the most men the
most supplies and the most money The United states
gives the overwhelming preponderance to tho side Of

Viewed in this light, autocracy is doomed Liberty
and freedom and popular enlightenment going to
win the greatest fight waged for the cause OF the
