twined his fingers convulsively in his

Thomasson. the military critic, who
pays tribute to the American STAFF

spirit of the American leaders and
the incompatible ardor of their
troops"
The Petit Parisien says: TT is the
first time the American Army alone
has launched an offensive on a great
scale, but it will not b. the last.
From the showing it has made the
Germans have been able to see that
they have tOA reckon with ardent en-

NJ Amsterdam, Sept. 12--Germany

Kaiser said in "a speech to Krupp
workers, according I'd a dispatch re-
ceived here today.
Germanys enemies began the war
because they were envious Of Ger

Their envy became hatred when
their calculations failed. Germans
do not know hatred-only honest
wrath, which deals the enemy a blow,
and then when he is PROSTATE and
bleeding we. extend him our hand and
look to his recovery Germany is
only fighting for existence, and must
fight the battle through"
In December, 1885, the Kaiser
added IT presented to the enemy pub
lie clear offer of peace i'm the name
of the German people and my allies.
The answer was jeers and mockiug.
In The last months my Government
leaders have repeatedly and un-
ambiguOusly declared W. are always
ready To offer the hand OF peace.

maintain peace.
Everything depends upon our
final exertions. All is at stake"
With regard to those who give ear
to false rumors regarding German
disasters, the Kaiser said:
Hes a traitor and is liable tc
severe punishment whether he is a
count or a workman
1.-TWO are needed to make peace
Tic both are not willing one can dc
nothing If he doesn't overthrow Tho
other. Against our enemy's absolute
will to destruction We must Oppose

Paris, September 13.-News of
Americas first independent offensive
OF the western front has thrilled
France The newspapers print the
battle front dispatches in the largest
type and accompany them with maps
and explanations regarding the
ground fought over. No one doubts
that the effort was crowned with full
success.

the moderation OF General Pershing's
official communication, which alb
stained from mentioning the villages
regained or surrounded in the impos-
ing advace.
There had been rumors for weeks

the people thought of something else
and today's news lost nothing of it's
effect on this account.

her The child screamed again and
Marie found herself holding only an
arm-the child had been hit by a
piece of an obus and the arm was
/ literally torn on.
Then Marie climbed the stairs to
her mothers room and found her
mother lying dead in bed, struck too,
by shrapnel la few days later Marie
heard that her father had been killed
at the front and that left her alone
Lin the world, except Hor girl cousin

answer that the only chance was in
exchange for "A twenty franc piece Oh

to house for someone to change her
