MUST SAVE HORSES
; SAYS LUDENDORFF

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE,
Aug. 31.-What far-reaching effects
Gen. Ludendorff expects from his
policy of conservation is seen in an
other of his many recent orders re-
lating to economy of man power and
materials. His latest one is for saw
ing horsefIesh and says:
I'VE must take care of our horses,
as they cannot be replaced. The men
must thoroughly understand this is
absolutely necessary in order to con-
tinue the war until victory is
reached"
To obtain badly needed remounts
for columns suffering severely from
shell fire and bombing he will take
officers horses.
The Boche of his own volition, press
led hard by artillery fire, is still re-
firing toward the Hindenburg line not
only north of Albert, but now also
south of the Scarpe. Closely pressing
the rearguards of the enemy the Brit
ish have been able to occupy trenches
in front of Monchy. To the north of
the Scarpe the boche is doggedly con-
testing the way and not much progress
is made by patrols.

AMERICAN CANDOR
ENVIED IN LONDON

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The American
War Administrations policy of let
ting the Germans know what they
must expect meets with the waFnest
approval here and The Worlds edi-
torial justifying it is widely quoted.
A typical example of the soundness
of this procedure is furnished by the
extreme nervousness exhibited by
German cities, even Berlin itself. over
the steady expansion of the area of
operations of the Allied bombing
planes and the expectation that in
the near future the Allied supremacy
in the air will reach a point where
the worst of German apprehensions
on that score are sure to be realized.
There is here a fine opportunity for
serviceable candor on the part of the
Allies, especially as the military OBJ
pectives in Germany marked out for
bomb bing are so numerous and wide
spread that no really effective meas
ures for their protection is possible.
Maurice Barres leads the way with
a hint to the Germans that they have
only had the merest foretaste up to

MISJU0GlNG THE NEGRO

The Tampa Tribune has the f.llOw-
ing to say as to the National Security
League and its proposed prosecuting
among the negroes of the south
We note that the National Security
League is about to inaugurate a
speaking campaign among the negroes
of the south to Offset the effect Of
German propaganda,
We do not believe the negroes Of
the south are prone to listen to any
German propaganda to the hurt Of
either the country or any section of
it. The day has passed when the ne
gro of the south is the ignorant cas-
lily led dupe of any man of PLAUSIBLE
ity.
Since the days of forty acres and

sons taught the trusting, ignorant ne
gro of the south, and he has learned
them well. AS a race he is as true to
America and American deals as any
man of any color. Merely because
there is here and there a scoundrel
who would hear the smooth talk Of
Hun when it was accompanied by
a few dollars for himself, is not more
reason to start a campaign among
the negroes of the south to counter
act German propaganda than it is
necessary to send corps of trained
speakers and known patriots in the
west to counterfeit German propagan-
da because some white men have
