WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY "a. 1918
A o

Occasionally we get a hot day in this territory, but
over in France there are several hundred thousands of
Germans who are having such a hot time as none of us
here have even experienced. The Marine salient, which
Is the scene of one Of the most terrific battles of the
war. is a fairy regular triangle. with it's base about so
miles long, between Rheims and scissors, and extending
to the south a scant 20 miles. The blunted point has
already been pushed back across the river. and there.
on the two sides, French, Americans, British and Ital-
1ans are pounding at every inch Of the line and forcing
the Germans back on practically every inch of 1t. -
1t seems now to be beyond question that the Ger
mans. who got themselves into a pocket, are trying Wig
orously to get out Of it. And in that little corner Of some
800 square miles, equal in area to about eight or ten Of
our townships, the German thousands are experiencing
the time of their lives. They have long since been CON-
PEELED to abandon their offensive. lFor days they tried
to stem the Allied advance and Mold what they had
gained. They found this impossible and were obliged
to retire. But their retirement brought the French and
Americans on the one side and the French British and
Italians on the other. within easy range Of roads which
were necessary to the Germans for, the transportation of
supplies If they remained, and as a means Of egress for
their troops if they retreated.
The official reports are guarded in their tone, but
from all the facts it appears certain that the Germans
are trying to get their army out of the entire Marine sal
tent. Their men on the interior lines are moving north.
Guns have been withdrawn. Other guns are being blown
up. supplies are being burned to prevent them from
falling into the hands of the enemy, Villages are being
burned, according to the familiar German practice
whether there is a military necessity for that destruc-
ton or not. And SO narrow is the salient that all Of its
important roads, and practically all Of its area are ,di>
rectly under the gun fire Of the Allies. Allied airmen are
sweeping across it, hurting bombs as they 60 It has for
some time been practically impossible for the Germans
to get anything into the triangle. and they are having
almost as great difficulty in getting anything out.
Hence it is that on these July days, which are az
ternately hot and cool in this section, are unpleasantly
hot for the Germans, no matter what the thermometer
may register. With a front presented squarely to the
enemy it is possible for a force of, men to be relieved
by being sent in detachments to the rear, out of range
Of the enemys guns, where they can rest and recuperate.
In the present case there is no real chance for rest
or refrigeration. The whole area is under a whitening
fire. and there is no security in any part of it,, The Allies
are having a warm enough time, but the people who are
really experiencing the last thing in torrid temperature
are the Germans.

1t is an axiom in law, that an accused person is sup
posed to be innocent until he is proven guilty. That is
true in so far as the state takes official cognizance of
the acts Of the individual. The conditions may be such
that they create a strong presumption Of the guilt, Of an
individual. but the courts cannot act on that presump-
ton. Unless the evidence is such as to establish guilt
beyond a doubt, and is SO declared by competent author
ity, the legal presumption is and must be- that Of in
noeence. Isf@
1t is not SO, and cannot be so, in all cases. when one
forms his own opinions on the facts which come to>his
knowledge. There may be no evidence which would be
admitted in court clearly establishing guilt, but the evil
denceg may nevertheless wa.rant the private conclusion
Of guilt,
