rung in the cities. Victory was at
hand, just as calculated.
For days the Germans progressed
according to their calculations. Then
the calculations began to fall Then
the procession slowed down. The
force OF the drive waned. 1t stopped
entirely-and the Germans were not
where they had calculated they would
be. Paris had not been reached April
!. Amiens had not fallen. The British
army had not been crushed. Their
calculations had failed.
Not the calculations as to the num-
Der Of men and guns they would have
to face. The Germans correctly esti-
mated their own power and the num-
bers opposed to them. But where they
failed in their calculations was in the
fighting qualities OF the French and
British.
So 1t can be here stated that those
torn hosts. our allies. have accom-
plished the greatest feat Of the worlds
history. They have stopped a German
drive which seemed invincible The
Germans allowed thirty per cent, It
IS said, for miscalculation. That is,
they credited the allies with being
thirty per cent stronger than they
knew them to be. Surely nothing on
earth could stand before their drive,
even though that something were
thirty per cent stronger than reckon
ed
Today Germany knows as she never
knew before that she can not estimate
the tenacity of the French or British
soldiers. She knows that she has all
along underestimate the fighting
qualities Of these free people. She is
beginning to understand that there is
another element in warfare besides
numbers Of men and weight of guns.
II must be getting through even the
thick head OF a German military COM
mander that there is something sup
erior in the British and French to
their own dumb ,soldiers.
Manhood! That is what Germany
miscalculated. Courage! She failed
to put it upon paper! Crit, determine
tion not to allow the Huns to pass,
righteousness of the cause and the
inspiration that comes from righteous
ness-that is what Germany could not
calculate. And thank God for these
virtues of the British and French
our allies-for the barbarians are not
in Paris and they are not bathing IN
the waters at Calais.

HARVEY BAND DRIVES
AWAY HOMESICk FEELING

The following, is part of a letter
written by Harold Bachman, leader of
the famous Harvey band
I'm the evenings, when the boys
around camp begin to feel little
blue, these boys pick up their instru-
ments and go about from barrack to
barrack, giving little 20 minute con-
certs in each place. I should say
they give 20 minute show in each
place Johnny O'Brien has a set of
traps: consisting of everything from
a tin whistle to a mess kit; Klingman
plays plano parts on his bells; Charlie
Boise tears the roof off with his from
bone, while Joe Glazier gives an i'm
itation of a North Dakota blizzard by
running up and down on his E fiat
clarinet. Bill Keene directs with his
tenor saxophone. BY the time they
have "jazzed" everything from Hail
Hail, the Gangs All Here, to the Mis-
souri, waltz, Philip Glazier has sung
his,original parody on Don't You Ever
Get Lonely, and "Kappy" has sung
Oh, Johnny. Oh, and pulled off a yid-
dish Zadotsky, you may we'll believe
the boys have forgotten their home
sickness, and, amid shouts and cheers
the Jazz band passes on to the next
barrack to repeat the perfoEWance.
One stormy night some tane ago.
when the men were all lying around
their quarters, these boys played in
nine different barrack rooms in one
night. I am not member of this
but am rather proud of
the kids, and usually go along to get
in on the tobacco and cigarets when
they are passed around.
IF the people of Harvey could have
witnessed the above scene enacted
as I have, in billets where the men
were huddling around trying to keep
warm and cheerful, while 1000 miles
of ocean separated them from the
objects of the thoughts they could
not Danish from their minds, they
would have been proud of their boys
as l am, and they would have some
idea of what we are doing in France"
