region Of Chateau Thierry this diyi-
sion had advanced four and three
quarter miles. fighting day and night
with a zeal that had TO be restrained
at times
"On July 90" the report said, "in
order to free MonthiereS and the Pc
ret wood, still strongly occupied by
the Germans, severe combats were de-
ivered by the French troops on the

They also captured three cannon, n

guns. Besides 200 prisoners fell into

Telling of the work Of the American
division on July 90, when It took the
woods north Of Epieds, the report
says:
"The Germans furiouSly opposed
this attempt and counter-attacked with
great energy, but they learned to their
cost the meaning Of American tenacity.
Impeded the first time in their ma
newer the Americans took the out
skirts of the wood on the oath, went
straight into it and seized whole
company Of German prisoners and
continued their advance with such
fury that toward 3 p. m. they had
reached the outskirts of the forest of
Fere ana the same evening they had
gained the Fere-en.Tardenois to Jaul-

"Thus the American division had In
six days realized at certain points n
gain of territory of four and three
quarters miles In depth fighting day
and night without respite, and giving
proof of the finest military virtues. All
their communications were carried oct

PACIFIST TO PRISON
ALLINSoN'S SENTENCE is FIXED
AT FIFTEEN YEARS.
obJector Leaves for Fort Leavenworth

Stacker"

Rockford, H., July 30.-Brent Dow
Allinson, poet, pacifist and consclen-
tious objector, was sentenced to fif-
teen years Imprisonment at hard labor
by the military court-martial that tried
him here for desertion.
Although it was not specified in the
formal sentence, IL was said Allinson
probably will be incarcerated at Fort
Leavenworth federal prison.

from the service, to forfeit all pay
and allowances due or to become due,

read the tribunals verdict. The origi-
nal sentence by the court was for
life, but the sentence was committed
at Washington, 1t is said.
Allinson may never have made a
good soldier, anyway. But as a civil
ian tactician it cannot be denied that
he showed certain talent.
For weeks he outmaneuvered stra-
tegic experts, defied federal officials,
laughed at army officers giggled at
exemption, pooh-poohed the draft, and
as they sang about Marie-Odile. he
got away with it."
If there ever was q case similar to
that of Atkinson, it is positive that
1t did not receive the tremendous pub
licity accorded the poet. Publicity
was the breath of life to AlIinson. He
reveled in it as he set his own stage
and strutted about 1t In the role of

words for his description.
Unbiased critics declared that a
timely application of the parental
hairbrush would have saved the gov

egotism of youth"

GERMANY THOUGHT
OTHERWISE IN 1915
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct 22.-It is recalled by
the correspondent at Berne Of the
times that Matthias Erzberger. leader
Of the German Centrist and member
of the government, to convince the out
side world of the peace loving char
acter of this government in a news
paper article written in February, 1915
expressed sentiment quite the contrary
to those he is now supposed to enter
tain. He wrote:
1.-The greatest ruthlessness is In
reality the greatest humanity.
IF it should be possible to destroy
the whole of LonGon that would be
more human than to allow one of our
fellow countrymen to bleed to death
on the battle field because such a
radical cure would lead most speedily
to peace.
England has stolen from us more
than 400 merchant ships. The answer
to this should be that for every Ger
man merchantmen one English town
or village should be destroyed by our
airmen"
The German newspapers are laying
great stress on the supposed attitude
of Herr Erzberger on the peace ques-
ton. They refer at length to his plan
for a league of nations.

GERMANS ATTACK
''CHIEf CULPRITS''
WHO CAUSED WAR
Will be a Reckoning When
Soldiers Come Home, So
cialist Press Predicts.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 27.-German pro-
vincial and Socialist newspapers con-
tinue their campaign against the chief
culprits" responsible for the war. The
Frankische Tagespost of Nurenburg,
the first paper in Germany to demand
openly the abdication of the emperor,
declares that the accession of the
crown prince is entirely out of the
question.
"The German people is searching fer
the guilty." says the Volkszeitung, the
organ of the Nuremburg Socialists.
"The pan-Germans and junkers are
silent today, but we do not forget that
they are great war meters in Ger
many, that they remain the support OF
social and political reaction and thai
they are a menace to the future
healthy development of the German
empire The pan-German policy has
gone bankrupt but unfortunately, ii
has led the German people to dispster
"To the gallows with the guilty, who
ever they may be!'
The Socialist Arbe,ter Zeitung OF
Vienna urges the German Socialists to
punish the "chief culprits" without
mercy, adding:
when the German soldiers return
home from the trenches after four
years of unparalleled suffering there
will be reckoning for the people
who have led them to this catastrophe
The German people will sweep away
the junkers and take its own destiny
into it's own hands,"
