 In recognition of the valiant ser vices of the American troops when the stopped the German rush on Paris in the second battle Of the Marne, capturing Bois de Belleau, routing the German machine gun nests and es- tablshing themselves in commanding positions on the Marne sector, the French authorities have officially changed the name of Bois de Bel.eau to Bois de la Brigade de Marine and have ordered all maps changed ac- cordingly.

GERMAN PEACE DRIVES.

When the Germans started the war
they believed that the odds were enor-
mously in their favor. Indeed, as war.
under a many faced camouiage, had been
the real industry OF Prussia for forty or
fifty years at least, and as the nations
they were destined to antagonize did
not want war, this judgment was cor
rect. How great these odds were has been
grasped fully, we believe, by very few
persons, even among those in touch
with the best sources of information.
The kaiser did reckon seriously, no
doubt, upon that dinner in Paris upon
the day and hour scheduled, and had he
eaten it as planned, we cannot say how
different the final settlement might have
been from the present probable issue.
Never hrless, in the light of recent his
tory we are constrained to think that
side by side with the vast material re-
sources for the energetic carrying on
of physical conflict there were psycholog-
zeal resources equally formidable, made
| effective by complex system of diplo-
mats, spies. propagandlsts and agitators.
All things considered the psychologist
cal branch of the German service should
probably be credited with full half OF
the advantage won to date as the cards
now lay.
/ To be sure, there have been lost bat
ties and campaigns on the psychological
side as well as ON the physical; but thi,
fact does not obviate the necessity fol
a wise strategy upon our part to meet
this real menace and to go the enemy
one better, if possible.
The kaiser expected that England
would not enter in the war, even in tn,
face of the violation of the neutrality o
Belgium. When he learned that tina
nation had decided to fight, he told Gerart
that the English were stubborn rae
and that it would be long war. Thi
was one psychological campaign lost b,
the kaiser and the entry into the con
flict Of the United States was another.
In spite of notable defeats, however
