The address by Gen. William A.
Black, chief of engineers. at the

United States engineers in France.
Gen. Black spoke to thousands of
troops who packed every available
inch of space on the two hillsides
and was given big ovation. He
said. in part:
1T is very inspiring sight to
see such body of men animated by
the common purpose to defeat the
enemy, and equally impressive to
hear you sing We Won't Come Back
Till It's Over Over There
'The engineers are doing a re-
markable work in France. In the
present battle every one knows who
built the bridges across the Marne.
IAN army is like machine. Each
individual is part of that machine,
working away and polishing his part
that when assembled that machine
shall be second to none.
Recently the engineers were
praised very highly by a high French
official. The engineers are always
ready to fight to build bridges. to
carry wounded to the rear, to do
anything to win the war. The en-
gineers often build the bridges which
they are the first to pass over. In
this war they have many times laid
down their tools to fill in gaps in
the front line. and have thus saved
the day.

leans. but he Is going to take it all
back. because we are going to show
him to a still greater extent the stun
that is in Americans, and as en-
gineers you boys here will do your

three propositions:
The dock at Belvoir can be extended

so-called Peace With Russia,


The so-called peace made with
Russia at Brest-Litovsk and the
treatment of the Ukraine and of Rus
mania reveal a Germany wholly i'm
penltent and still in full pursuit of a
policy of territorial and economic ae-
srandizement. The utterances of her
press ana OF her spokesmen since the
opening OF the offensive in March are
permeated with the same spirit. With
that policy and the spirit which ami

From Military Viewpoint.

From a military point of view it
would seem that Germany has, in her
campaign on the west. staked every
thing upon the combined success of
this series of operations on land and
of the submarine war at sea- She was
promised by her high command a COM
plete and final victory before the sum-
mer was over, provided her people
would consent to a large further ex-
penditure of human life. The toll has
been paid and perhaps exceeded, but
1T is now manifest that the promise
has not been and cannot be made good.
good
The struggle is not only in the
field. The allies. in virtue Of their
predominance, control the oversee
trade routes of the world and all the
worlds chief supply grounds of raw
materials. The German fleet is sealed
up in practical impotence and the en-
ptre's naval effort, after twenty years
OF ambitious and costly preparation,
is confined to the sporadic activity of
its submarines.
THE decisive weapon in war has
often been found and is likely to be
