were long distance fighters only. AS one
Of them said:
"They are not so bad when they are
30 yards away with machine gun, but
are no good"
Marine after marine asserted that
when he and his comrades got into ac-
tual fighting contact with the enemy
there was no fight left in him. Then
the Germans would throw down their
guns, and, waving their hands over
their heads, cry out "Kamerad"
Feel Contempt for Huns.
"Our men," added the attache, gave
me the impression of looking with ut
ter contempt upon the German soldiers,
who can fight only when they feel that
they have the protection of artillery
and gas, and surrender when it comes
to hand to hand fighting.
Ear from feeling the slightest dread
of the enemy. every man expressed
eagerness to get out of hospital and
return to the front. Every one of them
wanted a chance of getting even with
the Germans for having been gassed
e- wounded.
''The men were justly proud of the
record that the marines had made. and
their morale appeared to be of the
very highest quality. The cheerful
ness of all. including some infantry in
the wards, may be summarized by the
remark of one recovering from gas:
Why he said, there's nothing In II.

AMERICANS TO GIVE
TEUT0NS KNOCKOUT
OUR BOYS MAY BE USED TO
FORCE GERMANS BACK OF
HINDENBURG LINE.
Believed That First American A,r,u
viii Be Used to Compel Another
strategic" Retreat by the War
Weary Forces Of the Kaiser

Washington-Will American troons
cause the retirement of the Germans
beyond the Hlndenburg line?
Certain military officials here he.
lieve they will and also that the frs,
American army, the organization ~
which has lately been announced. will
be the organization to compel another
strategic" retreat. They base their
assumption on the tactics that have
characterized Marshal Foch's command
TO date-the constant hammerlng first
at one point of the line and then at
another.
The British, they point out, have AL
ready come In contact with the line
which up TO now has had a halo OF
impregnability about 1t. They are
pounding away at it In the vicinity
of Bullecourt. The next few days NAV
justify the hope that they viii break
through. If not, however, Foch's other
card-believed to be the Americans
may be used.
The natural place for an operation
by our troops, II is said, Is in the
Lorraine sector. If such an offensive
Is undertaken and crowned with sue
cess, IL would constitute in itself
greater menace to the Hindenburg line,
military observers say, than the pres
ent one the Germans now face I'm the
victorious British army TO the north.
For with the British advancing from
the northwest In southeasterly d.
rection and the Americans advancing
from the southeast to the northwest.
the German command would OF neces-
sity be compelled to realign its armies
and such realignment would have to be
at a point behind the Hindenburg line.

FINEST NAVY IN THE WORLD.
Such May be Boast Of United States
by Year 1921.

Washington.-Data just obtained In
dictate clearly that by 1921 the United
States Will have the most effective
navy In the world.
The statistics OF shiphuilding at the
navy department show that aside from
the capital ship construction. the gov
eminent has building and will have
completed as ships In 1921, 100 ships
available for war purposes. At least
800 OF these viii be afloat before the
close OF the present year.
II was stated Monday that the prl.
mary object OF the navy program OF
1916 was TO make a navy second to
none In the world" The war. however.
with its forced demands on American
shipbulding, bids fair to make the
United States navy easily the first In
the world.

"On the roads to the front there Is

Aircraft Hum Continuous.
1--WE find the marines headquarters
at an old farmhouse. shut in on every
side by woods. Here the hum of air
craft is continuous, and links up the
intermittent crash of artillery fire. A
Boche observation balloon hangs above
the woods to eastward, and 'woolly
bear shell lays q vivid black smudge
against the limited skyline ahead. In
the farmyard we seem to stand in n
little world apart, but the sounds OF
adjacent fighting are close about us.
"a marine officer who has had no
sleep for three nights comes in, dusty
but cheerful, from the trenches. The
marines are doing themselves proud
out there he says. There has been
some stiff fighting in the woods, but
the Boche will have TO shift soon; that
is the opinion of this old campaigner,
who has fought by sea and land all
over the globe. We leave the farm
under the guidance of a young lieu
tenant. broth of boy with the
face of Greek god.

TAKE FRENCH LEAVE
Accused of Stealing Chickens
Leave Town Suddenly.

Boys Accused OF Stealing Chickens
Leave Town Suddenly.
By SDeciGl Correspondent.
kE1PORT, Dec. THE trials of
Joseph Conway and Joseph Ansbro,
which we're scheduled to take place
on Thursday afternoon at the borough
nall. were necessarily postponed.
owing to the fact that the two boys
hastily left the borough on Thurs-
day morning and nothing has been
seen of them shea [
The young men who have been be-
fore the public on several occasions,
were apprehended charged with nav
ing stolen ten chickens from s. Earl
of the Union road on Tuesday night.
Word was sent to the local authorf-
ties and the boys were caught trying
to sell the stolen chickens to Rabbi
Zurayin. who conducts a store on
Front street, near the ~postofflce, ac-
cording to information given by Re-
corder Smith.
The chickens were put in the bor-
ough hall and warrants issued for tho
arrest of the boys. Recorder Smith
instructed Constable James McCann
to have the boys arrested immediately.
Recorder Smith states that McCann
did not do this. instead he notified the
parents of the boys to have them at
the borough hall on Thursday at three
O'Clock in the afternoon. with the re-
suit that the two a~bsconded.
Recorder Smith Is considerably
riled over the case and mas notif5cd
Charles Sexton, the prosecutor, of tho
exact status of the affair.

Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of automobile
owners obtaining their 1919 licenses
as soon as possible IL they expect to
drive their ear after the first of the
year. The commissioners ruling Is
that everyone must have q license by
January 1 or they cannot drive their
car until n has been obtained.
In former years people have neg
lected to obtain their licenses and q
few days of grace has been granted.
This practice, however. has been dis
continued by the ruling and unless
one does secure the 1919 number
plate the car cannot be operated.
Max Gibian. OF the Perth Amboy
Garage Company in Madison avenue,
Is the state agent in this city and Mr..
Gibian urges auto owners to get tho
license at once n not wait until the
final rush. as he may run out of tho
car signs. and In that event they
] would be unable to use their cars
until a new shipment is received. II
he receives tho greater number of
applications within the next two
weeks he can obtain all the signs
necessary to take care OF the demand
and the danger of some people going
without licenses on January / will DO
avoided.
From December 2 to IA the garage
is open for the obtaining of licenses
until 8 O'Clock each day; from De-
cemher 16 to &c 1t will remain open
until 6 o'clock and from December
81 to 81. inclusive. II Will be open
until 10 o'clock.
The commissioner has also mad a
ruling that no alien enemies can OBJ
tain either a car or drivers license.
In order for motorcycle riders to
obtain their licenses 1t will be neces-
sary for them to show the 1913
license.
