The first great drive by the Ameri-
can forces in Europe has thrilled the
whole world. That the American
boys can take the initiative and car
ry forward an offensive is proven be-
yond doubt. 1t is extremely inter
esting to study the map where the
American drive was made. The st.
Mihiel salient, or wedge, was thrust
into the allied line during the first
weeks of the war, in the fall of 1914.
All efforts to dislodge the Germans
were unavailing, until finally the task
was given up, and there had been no
fighting of moment in that section
for a long period. The United States
forces, with the aid of the French,
launched their attack Thursday, and
by early Friday the salient, some
forty miles of front, was completely
wiped out. In just twenty-seven
hours after the attack was launched,
the forces, in two sections driving
from both corners of the wedge, met,
thus sealing the neck of the pocket,
and shortening the front to about
twenty miles. A line of prisoners
three miles in length and four
abreast marched to the ear of the
American lines at n time. The
attack was made so quickly that il
was impossible for the Germans to
wreak their usual destruction, and
the towns, some twenty of them, were
taken practically intact. The French
inhabitants Of the pocket had had nc
news of the wal in four years, SO
strict had been the German censor
ship.

Thursday, Sept. 10, 1913.

The elections are over, and The
Herald is certainly satisfied. Now
the next thing is the fourth liberty
loan, which opens the last of this
month. Let everybody save up their
money to invest in fourth issue liber-
ty bonds. The amount of the loan
is to be the biggest yet undertaken
to raise, five billion dollars. Let the
money roll into the treasury in fine
style. The end of the war is in sight
right now; let's keep it in sight.
Money is the greatest factor just now,
since there is such a steady stream of
men flowing into Europe.

Uncle Sam to the Rulers of Germany

We tried to be neutral.
But you would not have it so.
You ravished your neighbors,
You outraged humanity.
And, failing to dominate u.s.
You reviled US.
You ordered us from the free seas.
You ambushed us on the highways.
You waylaid US in the night.
You killed helpless people.
You drowned our women and chill
dren.
You destroyed our property.
You violated our rights.
You insulted our sovereignty.
You dishonored our flag.
You sneered at our protests.
You scorned our good will.
You fouted our friendship.
You Knocked us as money changers
You derided u courage.
You jeered at u army:
You scoffed at u means of defense.
You defied our defensive power.
You goaded us into war-and NOW,
You shall answer to 100000 men
Placed at my command by Congress
To make the world safe for Ameri-
cans
And other peace loving people.
Civilization will subdue and disarm
you.

Through your lust for 'pillage and

Shaking his finger at him. Chief
Justice Mccoy, OF the District ST.
preme Court, today told a naturalized
German who had been summoned for
examination to serve on the jury to
''go back to Germany and get what
is coming to you"
When deputy clerk, William Len
non, put the usual questions asking
the talesmen whether they were citi-
zens of the United States and wheth-
er they had any reasons why they
should be excused from service. the
German-born talesman stated he
could not read or speak the English,
language "fluently."
Justice Mccoy then questioned the
man, who said he was born in B1-
varis and came to this country in
1890. Justice Mccoy then said:
Il wouldn't have you serve on the
jury. You ought to go to the
trenches on the German side where
you would get what is coming to
you"
Chief Justice Mccoy recently lost
his youngest son fighting in France.

attention to the inconvenience the
