FIGHT INDIAN FASHION
1.-THE Philadelphia Public Ledger

1.-THE Philadelphia Public Ledgerl
Virtually every American general
in command of the American troops
in France gained a portion of his
training fighting the Indians on the
Western plains and in the Rocky
Mountains. To this they added
their experience fighting the crafty
polomen of the Philippines, the
Malays and the wild tribes of the
Orient.
All of which accounts for the new
tactics employed by the Yankees
who have blazed a new trail over
there since the marines let loose
early in the summer at Chateau
Thierry and never let up until the
Hun rested on the upper banks OF
the Aisne. Formerly the French
and English -shelled machine gun
nests before launching attacks; the
Americans creep up Indian fashion,
surround the light artillery nests
and then rush them, much after the
manner in which the Indians used
to rush the camps OF custer ana
Miles and Scott and the Bunalo ana
Pawnee Bills of yesteryear.
The best story told in this con-
nection was of an incident during
the lighting along the Marne. An
American contingent, having cap
tured a French town. pretended to
retreat. The Hun fell into the trap
land walked into the town. With
drawing by a southern outlet, the
American line divided and passed
h right and left in a wide encircling
movement. At the signal TO ad-
vance they swooped in on the be-
town from every direc-
ton and made a pretty haul OF
prisoners.
The American generals have been
playing the game Indian fashion
from the start, having applied the
methods of warfare they acquired
in their earlier Indian campaigns In
the wild and wooley." Gen. Hun
ter Liggett was an Indian fighter.
lGeneral Duncan is known as The
Father of the Scouts" General
Bunday and General Bullard had
their innings with the Moros. GEN.
eral Pershing was an indian cam
Ipaigner.
Before our troops got going over
there the French and English news
papers were full of caricatures of
American soldiers in war paint and
feathers. The drawings were not so
far fetched at that. for, minus the
paint and feathers. the Yankees are
giving the Hun first class taste OF
real Indian fighting.

LET FOCH DECIDE!
tFrom the Boston Herald

IFrom the Boston HERALD
Let Foch decide.
Let him say, mo,
Never surrender to a beaten foe
The safety of the world, for which
have died
MIllions of honest men.
Beware of whimper of the van
quish'd Hun,
Beware the whining of the horni-
eide
William the Liar, who brags, and
slays. and then
With ratlike squealing seeks his hole
Trust not the hazard of a juggler's
TO keep what we have won!"
In Foche confide!
The silent, strong. enduring, daunt-
less man
First in a hundred fights. trust him
who never ran,
But thrice-at Nancy, Marne and
Ypres-smote
The Teuton legions and abased their
pride.
Woe unto those who at this fatal
time
Would compromise with crime,
And handy cunning with the shame
less nun.
He stands on ruins brink;
Our victory is near; not ink,
But blood, but valor and unshaken
Should be our weapons and our
skill.
In Foch we trust,
He writes no letters and his speech
is brief;
He seorns the subterfuge of dust
Thrown into statesmen's eyes;
He will not compromise!
He saw far off the goal,
And with undaunted soul
Wins it, unboasting. as becomes a
Chief!
Be every reptile message of the
Boche
Referred henceforth to Foch,

Fresh Air as a GerInicide
[From the Philadelphia Evening
Ledgerl

II everybody could be assured of
fresh air the present epidemic would
soon disappear. The marked fall
ing off reported in street car travel
is a popular recognition that, under
the normal conditions of crowding.
the street cars are one of the most
dangerous sources of contagion.
Yet 1t is only fair to the Rapid Tran
sit management to point out that
everything possible is being done by
II. even though it be under impulse
of self-interest. to mitigate the dam
ger and to maintain sanitary con-
ditions. The cars are now being dis
infected at the end of every trip,
doors and windows being opened to
insure thorough ventilation. More
over. the cars are required to begin
their trips with open windows. If,
therefore, passengers find that cars
are like closed boxes, without ade-
lquate ventilation. the fault lies with
passengers. not with the company.
The point that needs to be empha-
sized, for those to whom the street
cars are the only means of trans
portation to and from business, is
that the remedy for foul and i'll
ventilated conveyances lies in their
owp hands. AS a transit Official ex-
pressed IL yesterday, Half the peo-
pie would be glad to have the win
dows open all the time; the other
half is determined that they shall
be kept closed" Between the two

THE Princes of Germany. Are Shaking
Dice For the United States"
BY HERBERT QUICK

WE must buy bonds to the last
Wv cent of our ability because
our country is. fighting for
its very life. Make no mistake, citi-
Zens of America, the crisis is just
that-we are lighting for our very
life.
We must fight this war through.
We must fight il through to a peace.
the basis of which will be written
by us and our Allies.
Germany must not write a single
clause in the Treaty. She must be
whipped until she will sign a treaty,
every word of which will be drawn
by the Allies. Germany must not be
allowed to dot an ~ or cross a ct !"
Why?
Because Germany has become
nothing but a robber empire, a muir
derer empire, an empire every pur-
pose of which is the enslavement of
the rest of the world. Such purposes
admit of no compromise. We must
conquer or die. Ii we do not con-
quer. we shall nevertheless die
and die slaves.
Germany began with the inten-
ton of robbing France of her iron.
coal, her best land and her great
factories; of making Belgium, with
her rich mines, great cities and i'm
mense factories, a part OF Germany;
of gaining the Belgian coast from
which she might conquer England,
and of combining under her flag the
hordes of Mohammedan Turks, and
all the Balkan states, so that she
might train soldiers in countless NIL
lions, build navies to sweep the
oceans, and conquer the world.

THE SAME OLD TIN PANS

/" HE fact that the same little
group of Grangers that has play
ed the Democratic tin pan
chorus for years and been very noisy
since the Palmer Mccormick crew
reorganized the Democracy of Penn
sylvania and took the best federal
posts that could be had. is fighting
the road bond issue amendment to
the constitution, is commencing to
be apparent to everyone. Many of
the representative farmers of the
State want good roads and seem to
realize that the only way to get
them would be to issue bonds and
do the work on a big scale.
The argument in a statement put
out from State Grange headquar-
ters that the bond issue would In
terfere with the Governments loan
issues Is about as ill-founded as the
editorial opposition to the loan on
the part Of the morning newspaper
Of National Chairman Vance 9.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-10-17

The present loan drive has devel-
oped a considerable yellow streak in
number OF individuals who ought
TO be ashamed of their Stacker rec
ords in the war. There has been
some talk Of publicity OF names of
men who have attempted to side
step their duties in the matter of
war activities and the support of the
government with their money and IL
might be well for some such thing
to happen. There, appears to be no
good reason why a war for humanity
should be fought by a sacrifice of
thousands upon thousands. while the
Indifferent minority neither risks its
life nor its money.
