Military experts are unanimous
in the opinion that men between
the ages of 40 and so do not make
soldiers. not because men between
those ages lack the courage to fight
but because a days march or one
cold night in the trenches make
them spawned, weak and lame. In
short. their "jints' won't stand the
wear and tear of soldering.

The Star Spangled Banner" played
by an American band, marched in
parade through the streets of Lon

the King and Queen of England, by
Premier Lloyd George and members
of the cabinet and by the thousands
of citizens of the world metropolis.
There was regiment of three
battalions in line in the parade
through the heart of London, and
they won the hearts of Londoners.
Thousands banked the streets and
parks and cheered the American
soldiers.
An American band headed the
first battalion, Scots guard band
the second and an Irish regiment
band the third.
AS they swung down the pict-
uresque Blrdcage Walk. between
the walls of cheering military and
civilians, with flies screaming and
drums laundering. these Americans
were reminiscent of "Kitchener's
Mob"
When the American soldiers de-
trained they were cheered by veter-
an Tommies, Jocks, Mapleleafers,
AEZaCs and civilians as they walked
across Westminster Bridge to their
temporary barracks.

The premier, hands in buckets

appearance. He then inspected the

with General Biddle.
King George addressed the follow

The Long Battle

weeks and months until the enemy
has tried out everything he has got
in his attempt to break down the
Allied defense. 1t must be remem.
bered that his sole front now is in
the west, from the North Sea to the
Adriatic, and that he can give his
whole attention to it. He is ham,
mering the line today in Flanders,
tomorrow it may be to the south

it occurs on that long line. will be
but phase of the long battle that
must 90 on until the enemy con-
vinces himself he cannot 60 through
anywhere, or until the Allies,
strengthened by Americas millions,
take the offensive and throw him
back.
No decision must be looked for
this summer. The enemy still has
the offensive. That does not mean
the Allies might not be able to de-
prive him of it; it means they have
not tried to, and probably will not
except as desperate measure in
case his exertions threaten to carr!
him through. Foch's tactics are to
hold with minimum sacrifice OF
troops. keeping his reserves in case
the great emergency should come
before Americas firstmillion. FOch
might be able to take the offensive
sooner if he tried, but if he tried
and fell short of great stroke, losing
the offensive and reducing his care
fullyhusbandedreserves TO the point
of danger, he would be in a bad way,
-. His present tactics then, are far
safer, since he can now approximate
the date of Americas coming up III
force with the knowledge that he
can hold until then. He can wait
while the enemy cannot, and the
offensive. therefore, is the enemys
by consent.
The enemy must 60. To stop
where he is and dig in at the be-
ginning Of summer would be to
notify his people at home that he
has no hope of raising the seige a
eainst them this year. To fall back
would be to confess to them that
the huge toll of life he has paid has
been without result, and his people
know that never again will even
another toll as great take him so
far. The Allies will never again be
as weak as they were when he struck
last March. He has no alternative,
then. but to hammer on and take
his fearful losses in the sole hope
that by unremitting blows delivered
with fresh divisions as long as they
can be found, or rebuilt from the
wrecks of those already used, he
may find another weak spot, as he
did in the British Fifth Army, aud
smash hole in the wall that con.
fronts him.
Desperate as his chance is il
must not be supposed that the
enemy has not some expectation Oi
making it good. He has not used
up all his divisions by any means
He has some that have not yet been
put in-select troops, too. picked

raised some new ones by anticipat

years ahead, it is now estimated

than 2 million men available fol

handling exclusively women's ready
to-wear goods. Before the Pinkston
Company was organized, many ladies
went to Macon and Atlanta for their
coats and cotsuits and dresses, but
now they know they can get what
they want here and at prices much
more reasonable.
