lied offensive eudeayors might crush
In the German line at any point within
the arc of the salient and even the most
expert ,tacticians and strategists could
not save the Huns from ono Of the
worst military rexerses In history.
1t is very evident that the German
command already is figuring on the
line Of the Vesle for main defenses.
This would mean complete evacuation
Of the salient with the battle line run
ming slightly northwest from Rheims
through Scissors and to the north of
the Aisne in the direction Of Com
,piegne, to the northwest Of which re-
cent boche efforts to strike down the
river Disc in tho general direction of
Paris were frustrated.
Should the Germans take the line of
the Vesle, retiring from all points to
tho south Of scissors and Rheims, un-
questionably they will be able to
strengthen their general position by
virtue Of shortening the line, but the
same will remain true of the allies. In
fact, the "edge" will be with the al
lies, they having the advantage Of ini-
tiative, and, what is equally impor-
tant, preponderance Of reserves. This
was evidenced in the struggles Of the
past week.

Mr., Rooseyelt's Declination.

In declining to enter the primary for
the republican nomination for Gov
ernor of New York Mr.. Roosevelt has
shown both patriotism and political
sagacity.
He has shown patriotism, in that he
will remain free to devote his whole
time to questions growing out of the
war. In that field he should continue
to do valuable work. He is striking
national figure. He may be described,
indeed, as a striking war figure, for,
although denied opportunity to do duty
as soldier, he has stood SO long and
so conspicuously for preparedness for
war he is accepted by the country as
an influence on that subject. And
whenever and wherever he speaks on
the subject-whether in justification of
the war, or In criticism of features Of
conducting hostilities-he has close at
tention.
He has shown political sagacity, in
that he will not serve the ends of fac
tionism in his party. The anti-prohibi-
ton repubicans-comparatively few in
number-were hoping to use him as a
club against Gov. Whitman. He him
self is not friend Of the drink traffic.
But had he entered the primary and
defeated Gov. Whitman for the guber-
material nomination, the result would
have been credited to the traffic, and
his candidacy thus placed in false
light, injurious both to him and to his
party. He might have been defeated
because Of the real source Of his nomi-
nation. Thousands Of women would
not have supported him.
Gov. Whitman has many claims on
his party, and should be, and is likely
to be, its candidate. He is compe-
tent and courageous man. He has
given satisfaction In Office. He has
taken the right stand on prohibition.
in the face of threats by the liquor in
terests. He has made an excellent wal
governor, and been complimented on
that score even by his political op-
ponents.
If nominated, he will be supported
by Mr.. Roosevelt and all the men of
consequence now opposing him. In
two previous races he has shown him.
self to be a good eampaigner; and 1t
is not possible that he has forgotten
how. The nature and Importance Of
the contest will put him on his mettle.
Both he and his party have good deal
at stake, for republican success in New
York in November as respects the state
ticket and the Congress tickets will
count as party asset for 1920 all over
the country.

Proud of Them.

"Your country is proud Of you, and
] am more than proud to command
such men as you. You have fought
eplendidly."
Gen. Pershing's words to the Ameri-
can wounded In the Red Gross hos
pitals in Paris are echoed by every
. citizen of this country. America is,
indeed, proud of the men who are
carrying our flag on the battle front,
the men who are today supplying the
spirit and sinew necessary for victory
against the Hun.
These men have stood the battle test.
They have within a remarkably short
time from their enrolment as soldiers
and their preliminary rudimentary
training in the camps in this country
been put into the front lines and in
trusted with the most important charge
of offense and defense.
An outstanding fact Of great impor-
lance in Gen. Foch's counter attack
which began Thursday morning is that
American soldiers were used as shock
troops. Most Of these men were in
civilian clothes a few months ago.
; Practically none of them had seen war
4. in any aspect before. Even in the
ranks of the regulars the majority were
recruits from the civilian population.
In the surprise attack last Thursday
these men of ours, forming the "storm
units" upon whom depends the success
of such an operation, displayed gal
lantry of spirit, q quickness of inven-
tion, a persistence of purpose that
could not be exceeded by any veterans
on the field. It had all the dash and
skill that could be expected Of men Of
three or four times their length of
training.
lightning trained" the Germans
have scofingly called our men. Per-
haps, in comparison with the slow and
methodical process Of soldier making.
But lightning" nevertheless, with all
the vividness and force Of heavenly
electricity.
The country is, indeed, proud Of
them, these men from the mills and
the desks, the cities and the fields, men
of means and men Of poverty, men Of
education, men without, but all in
spired by the sense of service In a
cause that they understand, far bet

the cause of humanity, the cause of

Of transportation costs. II the local

Plane and Submarine.

Secretary Daniels wants to know why
'the naval airplanes Of the Chatham,
Mass, station did not do any execu-
tion on the German submarine that
sank tug and four barges Sunday.
The plane went out, circled over the
U-boat, and, according to reports,
dropped bombs which failed to e1-
plode. Was the aim bad or were the
bombs defective7 These bombs are
supposed to explode on striking the
water. But none Of those that were
dropped did so. If our naval airplanes
are equipped with defective bombs
they are not particularly valuable for
coastal anti-eubmarine scouting. In

Still Pressing for Victory.

The "cleaning-up" period, which
spromises to be but momentary, has
rome on the Soissons-C Chateau Thierry-
Rheims battle line. It is evident, now
that the Germans have been definitely
pressed across the Marine and their re-
tirement forced several miles to the
north, the French and American forces
gre getting their munitions and men
across the river from the south. ALI
along the line from Scissors to the
lriver allied forces continue minor
aocal operations which are designed to
-rectify dangerous or cumbersome po-
sitions and in these they are succeed
Sing. The same is true on the west side
of the salient. After the allied forces
have come north Of the Marine in force
and thoroughly organized themselves it
may be expected that the battle viii
be renewed with vigor, for with the
initiative in his hands it Is believed
Gen. Foch will seek to press on to
-somplete and fun victory such ~ would
lead to German evacuation Of the en-
tire salient.
That the Germans realize their, d.
,lemma full well and already are start
!; ing their permanent retrograde move
!, ment is indicated by their burning of
villages, the blowing up Of munitions
dumps and the dragging back Of their
heavier cannon. The allies have cap
tnred enormous numbers Of big guns,
That the Germans intend to retire per
nanently is best indicated by their ef-
/. forts to save their remaining cannon. I

tions this year. This may be pre-
liminary to an announcement Of his
death. Sovereigns usually pass AWAY
actually several days before the ofa-
cial bulletins Of demise. Hindenburg
is not sovereign, but has had the last
three and . half years almost royal
powers and prestige. The fact Of chief
interest is the statement that he has
not participated in military operations
this year. This means that Lnden-
dorff has directed the entire campaign
of the offensives, beginning March 81.
1t cannot be claimed for Ludendorff
that he has manifested any remark
able improvement over his predecessor,
whom he served as chief Of staff. Ger
tainly the latest results are not cal
culated to increase his prestige unless,
indeed, responsibility is shifted to the
