SILENCE THE ENEMY WITHIN.
By E. E. H.rrincan of The visiIantss

Now the Kaiser states that he is ready to give guarantees if peace can be brought about at this tiuls. What are they? Scraps of paper of the same kind he tore up before? Does he intimate that he will give up pre- not. He would make mental reserva- tons if he did so promise.
 The guarantees that would be given by him and his associates would be as worthless as a promise from mad pof. Treachery is inherent in his veins. As well expect hungry shark to show pity to a struggling puppy. as to expect Germany under its present rulers to keep promise creak 1t. Take these guarantees without making it impossible to break them, and we are like the man who covers fire with cotton blankets and sits down content, since the blaze is momertarily hidden.
 As a first step towards a genuine guarantee. one that will hold. take adequate steps to siinece the spreaders eists who Justify the Huns where their maudlin SC ntimentality will not work against OUR WAR nor their un-American propaganda irrttate tine true patriot.
 Every one of them carries bottle of gasoline with which to dampen those cotton sheets against the day when the fire eats through. Put them out of business, make this af- fair of aiding Germany unpopular to degree that carries terror to the breast of the propagandist How In any way that seems fitting. With good horny knuckles. driven hard and straight, with prison cells, with heavy f1nes, with long terms as road build CTS under guard Aye. even with the firing squad in the extreme cases, but etop it FOREVER

 from our men or brave fighting by the eremy. One officer told me he saw a machine gunner who within ten yards of him was l<sS<reted with his fingers still pressing the trigger of his ma chine gun. Our men simply made straight at him. There was no time nor need for orders the men made up their minds for themselves and swung straight in, a fair number dropping but within a few second they reached him, killed him and passed him.
 Scores of such small fights occurred, though the Germans generally gave up when our men were within 20 yards. Our men were swonderfuily question, speaking naturally, and without hurry through a thick bar rage. No troops living coud have re- sisted them behind that barrago. Irae Germans in the front line who were waiting to attack were simply over run.
 One German officer was waiting in a Gug-out for his barrage to open when
  He believed it to be the German bonn bardment. and a few minutes later ran up the stairs to see how the att tack was progressing and if the sup ports were moving up. He found three big Victorians just looking down into the trench. He told his captors he could not support the disgrace of capture, as he was to have been pro- noted captain next day.
 From a captured order we know that lines. of German assault-troop were waiting in No Mans Land. They had not delayed the advance one min ute. The orders to those German battalions were: Units will advance with fixed bayonets. and will assault leudly shouting, rrah!'-experienc has proved that the English have never been able to withstand an at- tack of that sort"
 Another order instructed stretclasr- hearers to work under the Red Cross flag, "as the English always respect it."

ANOTHER STRATEGIC RETREAT

The fact that the German forces, which have been fighting so strenu- ously for the keeping of the French from getting the full benefit of the Chem:n des Danes plateau. have fallen hack upon the north bank of the Ali lette river along a front of about IS miles shows the real meaning of the recent French success in their drive which captured 8falrnaison and other vantage points in that region. This move following the large loss in men and guns which was suffered at the hands Of the French. indicates plain ly enough the realization of the peril in attempting to remain where they were They had good reason to an- ticipate that General Petafn would follow up his recent advance and they were not disposed to take any further chances The French have been bit ing into the German fine at that To- cality in a manner which placed the Germans in a serious position and a strategic retreat was the only thing which would save the army.
 How extensive this giving of terri tory Is going to be remains to be seen The French are brought so much nearer to Laon, but the wedge which the British have driven into the line further north makes 1t evil dent that 1t will not be long before the same sort of a move will have to be made there. for as surely as the French have forced this retreat to the AiletteS the British are gradually driving them to 1t east of Ypres where they win not have to push for ward a much greater distance before the Belgian coastiine will have to be abandoned The Germans have eer- tainIy started on the backward move rnent again. even as they did from Ba2aume and Peronns, but 1t cannot be told yet where it will stop,

AMERICAN PRISONERS.

Ii is with regret. of course. that American soldiers should be taken prisoners before they have been as- signed to any definite place along the battleiine in France or Belgium, and while they are getting their final in structions Tn trench warfare. but such of course was to be anticipated. It is part Of the great war business and it is to be realized that our soldiers are no m0re immune than those of other countries As members of a patrol party they were engaged in dangerous work but it is work that has to be done and 1t is training that must of necessity be had if they are going to keep proper watch of the enemy and to adequately protect their own posi- tioBs-
 The circumstances under which they were taken are not likely to be as- certained at an early date. What ever information they may have se- cured Is going to be kept from their comrades and their officers by the fact that they are prisoners. It is in fact not sToing to be learned whether they wert over zealous and failed to exercise due caution or not, but their capture is due to arouse their com rades to deeper realization of the services which must be performed. They are fully aware of the grim bus mess in which they are engaged. They are trained in certain rudiments of lighting and they have now been made aware in a new way that the enemy iE there for the same purposes that they are. and that they must be inst a little bit the cleverer to win. The capture Of this patrol is therefore not going to be depressing but 1t wiil serve to arouse the American troops to greater determination than ever.

Soaking and rubbing should be done every night if the treatment is to be efh- cacious.
