THE KAlSER'S DECISIVE DAY"
STRETCHES OUT.

II is two months since the kaiser pro
nounccd that the decisive day Of the
war has come and then hurled his pha'
lanxes into the maelstrom of battle on
the western war front. At about the
same time, or slightly before, Won Hin
denburg was making the blatant boast
tso the cables stated that he and the
other vons and their minions would be in
Paris during August, Two months have
passed their bloody way and the kaiser
decisive day is turning into rubber be-
cause of its capacity for being stretched;
and Won Hindenburg's appetite for a
French feast in Paris is gnawing his
in'ards. Meanwhile the Germans have
advanced over considerable section of
torn territory and some hundreds of
thousands of their best fighting men
have either been placed under the sod or
have been incapacitated in some way or
other. Moreover, the allies, although suf-
fering severely, have stood off the Ger
mans in their great purposes and are
more united to-day than they were be-
fore the beginning of the offensive by
the enemy back in March. Then, too,
the United States is rapidly making up
for the detection of Russia in the war,
with an army far over half million"
already in the field, how much over it is
mere conjecture TO state. II is TO be ex
pected that the kaiser ct ais will do
some more damage before they are thor
oughly whipped ON the field of battle, but
as for a decisive day of victory for
them there will be none, and Won Hin
denburg will not sit at banquet in Paris
unless it be in ball and chain. Two
months of offensive by the enemy have
taught the allies many lessons, chief of
which were the necessity for united com
mand and the necessity for prompt man
power aid from the United States. These
lessons have been turned into good ac
count, let it be added Germany is al
ready defeated nation whatever her
dying struggles may produce.

reported, making the record stand six
killed in action, eight missing in action
and seven wounded. Some of the Con-
necticut companies have been hit terribly
hard on the battlefront, and the Green
field and Orange companies of the old
Second Massachusetts regiment have hli
many men fall in battle against the Hun,
but no company in the three northern
states of New England has sustained
