AN OLD FASHIONED VICTORY

Speaking of the Palestine cam.
paign, a London dispatch says: THE
war can show few examples of SO
swift and clean victory"
1t is also an old-fashioned vic
tory. That fact had much to do with
its swift and clean cut qualities.
The spectacular stroke by which
General Allenby routed and destroy
ed the Turkish armies in the Holy
Land is masterpiece of "open war
fare" After the first. quick rupture
of the Turkish line, everybody was
out of the trenches. ''Siege warfare"
was forgotten. 1t was such a cam
paign as might have been fought in
our Civil war. 1t was such cam
paign as Napoleon might have fought
If he had possessed the requisite
troops and equipment when he at
tempted his own Inflated Palestine
expedition more than a century ago.
There were all the elements that
gave old-fashioned warfare its thrill
and romance-quick, bold dashes,
scouting expeditions, the use of cav
airy as an arm of the service no less
valuable than the infantry, the pre-
ponderance of the human factor as
against the purely mechanical factor
that plays so big part in machin-
ery-fought trench battles.
There have been a few other con-
tests in this war Of the same general
nature, particularly in Mesopotamia
and the Balkans, but nothing so def
initely old-fashioned. We shall have
more of it hereafter, we hope. Re
cent fighting in France has shown
that even there it is possible to blast
the enemy out of, his fortified
trenches and drive him into the
open. When Foch is ready to exert
his full force, and use million or
two of Americans, fully equipped, as
the spear-head of his attack, we may
see replica Of that Palestine tri.
umph on scale matching the scope
Of the war in its main theatre.
That is what our army wants; fol
our strength, even more than Brit
aims perhaps, is in open fighting
where dash, speed and initiative
have full play.

Woman Born in Germany Works In

Mrs. Elizabeth Batteiger Of War
wick county, Indiana, is seventy-four
years old, but she is helping the United
States In war by toiling in the hot sun
in wheat fields.
Her plan is simple. She is saving
the grain that in ordinary years is
permitted to stand In the field-the
wheat a binder does not get. Thus
far Mrs. Batteiger has cut los bundles,
resulting in the saving of four bushels
of wheat.

From London to Jericho the allies
have obtained decided superiority over
the enemy in the air. Since the war
started Germany has trailed France

Next an ordinary negative on a bro

was produced a transparent positive on
which both writings appeared dark and

Britain also tas furnished consider

England's air force has undergone
radical reconstruction and Its tactics
have been changed much to the dis
comfiture Of Germany. Briefly, these
changes are: Consolidation of the
Royal Flying Corps and the Royal
Naval Air Service into one organiza-
ton, known as the Royal Air Force;
