Old Glory Flutters Today
In Fere-en-Tardenois.

Paris. July B.-Old Glory fiutters to-
night from the city hall Of Fere-en-
Tardenois, side by side with Frances
tri-color.
The spinal column Of the German
crown princes army has been broken.
The city that formed the nerve CEN
ter Of his half-million bottled-up
fighting men was stormed by soldiers
Of France and America just a. night
was settling down upon the Alsne-
Marne battlefield. closing the eleventh
day OF Foch's great counter drive.
The crown princes hold upon the
Marne is . memory; French and
American troops are across the
ourcq. From Fere-enTardenois the
Germans are fleeing northeastwards,
back to the Vesle and Aisne.
Through the funnel formed by the
Dormans-Braisne road and the Ardre,
their southeastern army must retreat
with record speed-before Foch's
Fere-en-Tardenois army reaches Fis-
mes. and closes the trap.
Already the rail pivot OF this Ger
man southeastern army. Ville-en-Tar-
denois. is half surrounded. Its fall is
a matter OF hours.
The shadow OF a gigantic Sedan
no longer hangs over" the whole
German army below the Aisne. It Is
on its heels. Winged by the Joy of
triumph, it threatens to outrun the
beaten. tagged and dispirited legions
Of the Kaiser's heir.
1t was the smashing victory that
crowned this bloody Sabbath. 1t il
the greatest that Americas troops
have yet achieved. and the possibili-
ties are unlimited.
"Friedensturm?" perhaps II Is to
be storm of peace" after all:
but Yankees and Poilus, not the
Germans, are doing the storming.
This very date is an omen. Four
years and a month ago q bullet
discharged into an Austrian arch
dukes Utals by the pistol OF a Bos-
nian student set the world ablaze.
And. curiously, that day. too, was
Sunday.

The German loss in men and ma
terial Is far greater than the losses
sustained when the French made
their rapid retreat to the south bank
Of the Marne. Moreover. the losses
sustained by the allied forces in re-
taking this district, approximately
500 square miles, cannot compare with
the losses which the Germans bore

military men who have served on
the Western front this year state
that thescareful tactics employed by
the Franco-American leaders give
every assurance that the above con-
clusions will be supported by later
casualty reports.
Great interest attaches to the re-
port that the British are steadily ad-
vancing on the eastern side of the
salient. 1t is on this side of his bat
tie front that the crown prince must
depend for the strength with which
to hold back the allies until he has
taken his army from its present per-
ilous position. 1t is over the routes
to the north on his left flank that he
must move out his larger guns and his
worn-out infantry. What supports he
may have must come into the battle
from that side.
II the British can advance a few
miles further into the left flank of the
enemy they will reduce his lines of
exit from seven to approximately five,
one OF which Is OF little value.

sIt goes right back to the personal

taht to Steel Chief Replogle Of the
War Industries organization. THE
manufacture OF steel requires pig iron,
and that means coke. and to get coke
we must have miners.
.Steel mills can work harder than
they are now. but they must have the
raw material. Empty cars are wait

anything like that is true. then the
supply left for commercial users will
be small indeed.

"Shinplasters."

one Of the curious forms Of money
to which the United States govern
ment has resorted was the shin
plaster currency" These bits of paper
money were called "ShuplaSters" by
reason OF their size and not because
of the use To which they were put.
II WAS a strange condition of affairs
which led To their issue The Civil
war had put a great strain on the
finances of the United States. Metallic
money grew scarce. In the first place
81 was exported and in The second
place it was boarded in vast sums.
The government had issued green
backs to take the place of silver dol
lars ana five and ten dollar gold pieces,
and as dimes quarters and halves had
also grown scarce it was decided to
issue fractional paper currency. 1t
was seriously needed because there
was great inconvenience throughout
the country from "A lack OF small
change. Merchants used postage
stamps tokens OF various forms, their
own promises 10 pay" or script. and
even buttons were employed as small
change, To he later redeemed rs the
merchant in goods. It was to meet
such conditions as these that the gov
eminent issued small paper notes in
denominations of 10, p and 80 cents.
