There are indications that the
Germans are preparing an effort
OF some magnitude to recapture
the valuable high ground won
by the Australians and Ameri-
cans within the past few days on the
front east of Amiens, north of Viii

Local attacks occurred in the
southern part of this region last

front of approximately eight miles,

troops.
The sectors of the Marne salient
held by the Americans were unusual

artillery fire being far below the
normal. Such firing as the American
gunners indulged in was mainly di-
rected against the Germans in the
neighborhood of Hill 204, west of
Chateau Thierry.
Fighting activity on the western
and Italian fronts still is confined to
local operations. The lull on both
fronts, however, will not be prolong-

We hurry, we eat too fast, we eat
unsuitable foods and therefore pay
the penalty in digestive disorders
that keep us feeling out of sorts a
great part of our time. Physicians,
in dealing with this condition have
found out that drastic and harsh
mineral drugs, while they may give
temporary relief, nearly always fail
to give permanent benefit and their
patients must continually keep dos
ing drugging their systems. Recent
ly a group of eminent specialists and
chemists have perfected a remedy
composed of purely vegetable ingre-
dents with pepsi, which they called
lays PepsotOne, which. promises TO
permanently do away with disorders
of the digestive tract. 1t has been
given exhaustive tests and in wide

Incidently, notes the Washington
Star, the Crown Prince "has again
been shown the utter futility of his
dreams Of capturing Paris"
Concrete evidence of the great
part played by the American forces
in "mopping up" the Marine salient
is supplied by General Mangin, who
issued the following order of the day
to the Third American Army Corps:
shoulder to shoulder with your
French comrades you threw your
selves into the counter offensive.
You ran to it like going to feast.
Your magnificent dash upset and
surprised the enemy, and your in

attacks by his fresh divisions.

FRUITS OF VICTORY

The Germans have twice lost the
war at the Marine, as our leading
journalistic military critic points out.
In 1914 they "lost the chance to win
the war in the first campaign" In
1918 they '1ost the chance to win
the war in any campaign; that is, to
win it by a decisive military tri-
umph." Thus Frank II. Simonds, in
the New York Tribune, summarized
the situation after the smashing OPP
erations which wiped out the Marine
salient and won for General Foch the
title of Marshal of France. With the
retaking of scissors and the clear
ing of all the ground south of the
Vesle, remarks the Brooklyn Eagle,
"the Allied victory was made as
complete and conclusive as was the
first battle of the Marine of which
it is in many respects an amazing
repetition" AS a result of what
Premier Lloyd George characterizes
as "the most brilliant counter-troke
in the annals of the war;" the i'm
mediate aspect of the conflict has
been changed as if by magic. Ger
man initiative on all sectors, for the
present at least, seems to have been
paralyzed. "The German mind, as
well as the German armies, is now
on the defensive" remarks the Bal
timore Sun. "The Marine defeat has
produced unspeakable scenes of des-
pair in Berlin" admits the Berliner
Tageblatt, one of the principal news
papers of Germany, which adds:
"Such outbreaks of utter discourage
ment and downheartedness never be-
fore were Witnessed" The second
battle of the Marine 'has changed
the whole intellectual as well as mil
itary aspect of the war" notes the
Washington Herald, which goes on
to say:
"The Foch counter offensive has
thrust the probe deeply into German
and what do we find?
A nation which is nearing the end of
its rope. A military machine which
is magnificently organized and in
perfect running order, but which
lacks fuel-lacks fuel because the
supply has practically run out. A
people so desperately morbid that in
sheer defense against themselves
they thrust blndly to the Pan Ger
mans and the junkers to lead them
to that victory which they have been
schOoled for generations to believe is
theirs by divine right"
OF the effect of this Marine VIC
tory ON the Allied world the same
paper says:

now as something more than an alb
