GERMAN CRIMINALS ACT AS OFFICERS
 TO COMMIT CRIME

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 26.-The pos session of a policeman's or officers uniform, combined with cool assur- ance and a harsh commanding voice has often enabled criminals and swindlers in Germany to carry out their designs in a way that would be impossible in any other country. A man named Jaster, wearing uni form with sergeant's stripes, stopped a cart in charge of two soldiers, who were conveying parcels of bread cards from a printing office to the municipal food bureau in Berlin. Rep resenting that he was acting on or ders," he calmly took possession of 10000 cards and made off while the soldiers stood stiffly at atten- tion. Recaptured by mere chance afterwards, Jaster was sentenced to 19 months in jail.

The Thing to Keep Your Eye On.
Cincinnati Enquirer ]

(Clnclnnau Enqu1rer)
 So awful and fascinating is the struggle of the two colossal antagonists the western front that can hardly tear our eyes from them long enough to take casual look at what is going on at the back door of the burning house. And yet it is in the vas-and to us Americans the unreal and incon- ceivable-regions in the German rear that the key to the situation is be found. It is there that the bug lies It is in the depths of what seems dark and mpenerabe cavern that the nest of reptiles cOiled which must scotch.
 Let us tighten our grip on the all too easily for gotten fact that whatever hopes the Germans had of conquering England and France at the beginning of the their desires, their hopes, their aspirations all centered in the east. If they are able to keep what they have conquered in Russia and the Bal kans they will be more than satisfied All the treas ure and the blood which they have spent and split and control the inexhaustible wealth and man power of those immeasurable regions. It is for this they for the channel ports or Paris dreaming of Mexico annexation and the conquest of America. We imag- inc it would be safe to make peace with them if aims should be abandoned.
 We must not fool ourselves! Before we are done we must snatch the Russian bear from the claws of the German eagle. We must detach Bulgaria from her unhappy alliance, must re-estabsh the indepen- dence of Serbia and Rumania abolish the evils of the Austrian and Turkish tyrannies prevent the en- trance of the German military influence into the Orient.
 To fail in this is to fail in all for another war. not less but more stupendous. would be as certain to follow as the matching of brood of vipers from nest of eggs
 prehension of this fact? It seems to incredible because it is inconcevable We know little about those remote and unreal countries about the tains of the moon or the canals of Mars.
 Can we be made to think that Russia borders on California; that Turkey is adjacent to Florida; that the Balkans are as near New England the Mid dle States?
 There is no such thing space any more. Dis tance has been abolished Thirteen hundred thousand American young men are fighting in France. Some are in Vladvostok others in Archangel or at Salon. iki or on the Piave

 The temptation of officers and men to visit historic and interesting places near the camps is great but the scarcity of motor equipment and the restrictions regarding railway travel make short jaunts impossible.

SHIPS AND MORE SHIPS.

The launching of 631 ,944 dead-wel&ht tons oi ships in July makes that month the biggest yet m the history of American shipbuilding. In the same period deliveries of completed ships, amounted 10 235 OO0 tons which about double the monthly average for the year.
 It had been assumed that July would be rec ord breaking month because of the great ehort to celebrate the Fourth of July with an extraordinary number of launchings, and there would be no dis appointment if the August record should fall Ht- tie below that of July but apparently, there is to be need of making excuses for August, for the launchings during the last four days of July were up the average for the whole month. Four ships slipped into the water each of those days, and since then the big Hog Island yard has begun to produce ships
 August, with holiday celebration to stimulate aunchings is, therefore, likely to equal or better the July record, and, to add to the discontinue of Teutonic prophets, Japan has begun to send over finished ships for American

Foch's New Honor.
est. Louis Republic

No' I-oulS RepuDllc.)
 The promotion of Gen Foch to be Marshal of France follows his reconquest of the Marne salient and Is hitting reward for that piece of brilliant strategy and good fighting, but his full claim to honor rests upon broad foundation of success and proved ability in four years of war.
 In the first battle of the Marne Marshal Joffre was in command of the French Army and rightly won great credit for operation which at that time saved Paris and deprived the Germans for all suc- ceedlng time of the great advantages by their perfldous invasion of France through neutral ter ritory. But in that fight Foch hardly less inn portant than Joffre, and from that time on his reer was such that when the Allies decided last, 10 unlte upon commander in chief he the man among all the soldiers of all the nations engaged who appealed to all as the to be chosen.
 Since that time he has been through his period or trlal. He had command and responsible for failure if failure. during the period when the Ger mans were hammerng back the Allied line in the early part or the year. Nothing hurried him. He submitted to what looked like defeat and waited for the day when decisive blow could be struck. The day came, and on that day he demonstrated that the German hope of victory in the summer of 1918 was delusive. He has turned the ited and fairly won his new honor.
