VICTORY ON MARINE
AROUSES PARISIANS
Chateau-Thierry Day Cele-
broted With Enthusiasm.

PARIS. July 21.-This Is Chateau
Thierry day in Paris. 1t is the CHEEKY
word of greeting on the boulevards and
one hears It shouted above the roar
and rafting of the subway trains.
Paris. sceptical after many months of
stubborn and bitter defensive and mega
tive victories. received the news OF the
opening Of the Franco American drive
with subdued enthusiasm, fearing dis
appointment. which had so often fol-
lowed in the wake Of former offensives.
The moderate terms In which the off,
cial communications are couched help
to maintain the city in a state OF calm
expectancy.

tanning latest advices mentioned 10000
prisoners and 400 guns, and above all,

heaving a sigh of relief. decided that the
time had come to begin to celebrate.
Now that the enemy has been driven
across the Marine, 1t affords the French
press legitimate satisfaction to quote the
German press which was recently rejoic-
ing over the success OF the army In cross
ing the river. The comment Of the German
newspapers showed the great Importance
which was attributed to the German ad-
vance by the press OF that country
The Frankfort Gazette considered the
establishment of a brdgehead south of
the Marine as an event of capital i'm
portance. opening up the finest military
perspective. The Munich Neuestc Mach
richtcn believed the crossing of the
Marine was the surest means OF captur-
ing Rheims, while the Strassburs Post
affirmed that the German success in
crossing the river was a complete and
definite victory.
Similar comments from other news
papers are quoted. ending with a state
ment by the military critic OF the
Frankfort Gazette printed on Friday. in
which he said we foresee no French
counter offensive. as the French high
command has its hands tied"

his day idleness was personal affair.
1t was no possible business of the COM
munity whether a man focused his vision
on the business ledger or lay on his back
under a tree and followed the manoeu-
vres of the cloud argosies overhead. 1t

WAR GROWS SAVAGE.
Present Methods Contrasted With Those
of Twenty Years Ago.

One night, twenty years ago. | sat
in an army camp in Cuba during the
Santiago campaign, listening to a dis
cusson of war weapons That day some
1000 men had Been Killed and wounded
in a three hours battle, which involved
all of Skaters army corps at San Juan
Hill and at FL Caney. The matter which
created the most comment was the very
small per cent of mortalities in the cas-
ualty list. The wounded would nearly
all recover, and, except here and there,
without permanent injury. Two Ameri-
can staff officers were discussing it and
praising the Mauser rifle, which the
Spaniards were using. | remember sub
stantially the words OF one of the staff
officers. He said: 1T Is more merciful
weapon than the krag, which we are us
ing. because it is of smaller bore, makes
a cleaner wound and puts the other fell
low out of business just as effectively
as the Krag does without infiicting as
dangerous an injury"

of the aviator's course because of the
