Victor Hugo 3rd.
(New York World.)

News of the distinguished conduct at Cantigny of Lieut.. Victor Hugo 3rd who is attached the American forces in France instructor, will he read with interest in this country. Was it with shrewd understanding of American sentiment that the French assigned the great -grandson of their illustrous novelist and poet service with our army?
 That army from is surprisingly fla miliar with Les Miserables," and certain pro- portion of it has even read 'IIernani' in the or ignal in college cass-rooms. Americans have in deed appreciation for the French patriot and poet next only to that for their greatest English authors. What power against Prussiansm would that virile pen be which gorifed Napoleon the Great and excoriated Napoleon the Little, What would the present-day world not give for Hugo portrait of the Hohenzollern, or for description of the ter rible years since August 1914 after the manner Of "L Annee Terrble' for another History of a Crime!
 The pen is absent, but the young descendant s sword supplies romantic link. Certainly a Victor Hugo in the American ranks in France is calculated to inspire plenty of the sentiment that counts in knitting closer the bonds already uniting old com rades in arms.

THE STRATEGY OF ATTACK.

Gen. Fochs observations on how to win battles. as culled from weekly publication by the Asso- ciated Pres is intensely interesting because it is by the Commander in Chief of the Allied forces and because it is published the crisis of the great battle in history. Aside from that. it is simply the terse expression of the most approved axoms of military science the substance of military expcri- ence from the time of Julius Caesar, through Ma poleon. to the present.
 Battles cannot be on the defensive. At some critical time the side which hopes to win must take the offensive and in the choice of time place and method of attack the genius of the commanding General will express itself.
 Gen. Foch has played the defensive game since March 21. How much longer he intends to play it can only be surmsed That game is all right so long as it forces the enemy to weaken himself with out gaining anything to offset his losses, and while it enables re-enforcements to be brought up. The Americans are the re-enforcement Foch has in mind

When that is done, it might be that shall army of Ital- ians, Americans French and British sweeping through Austria from Trieste, and army of Serbians, Mon tenegrins, Greeks, British, French and Americans ad vancing from Saonika through the Balkan coun- tries into Austria.

1T. WALDO E. SHILLINGTON,
u. S. A.

Friends in Omaha have received
notification of the death of Lieut..
Waldo T. Shillington, I. S. A., in an
a;rplane accident in France Decem-
Der 5. His relatives reside in Nor
folk, Neb.
1t. Shillington graduated about
three years ago from the Central
high school in Omaha. He later en-
tered Creighton university and was
in his junior year when he enlisted
in the aviation service, leaving here
about Thanksgiving day of last year.
Previous to that he had taken a
course in the officers training camp
at Fl. Smelling, Mimi, but did not
receive his commission at that time.
He therefore returned to Creighton
university and organized the cadet
regiment at that institution last
year.
1t is not known by Omaha friends
of 1t. Shillington just when he
received his commission, but it is
thought it was several months pre-
vious to the signing of the armistice.
The details as to his death have
not been received.
