FRENCH "MUTILEs" GOING HOME.

In the current number of New France"
Andre Delemar presents the following
little sketch Of the French soldiers as they
travel home IN q railway train:
Fresh from the hospital where, one
morning they woke up out of trance,
without an arm, leg or both legs the
mutiles' have clambered into the railway
carriage that Is bringing them home
Settling down comfortably, they begin to
chatter gaily, all transfgHed by the newly
recovered liberty, until darkness takes
hold Of their incomplete bodies and doubt
creeps slowly into their weakened minds
One thought-one single thought shines
through the hesitating eyes, while the
MarScillaisc is being sung outside by CON
scripts who do not know yet
a woman with q child opens the door
and sits among them. 1t is the first time
they meet the world again. The long de-
layed pathetic question is out at last. 1t
draws d tear to the woman's eyes; she con-
ceals it, for they must not guessl They ask
Does it show very much?' She pulls her
self together, finding words that will re-
assure and strengthen those who are so
eager to be convinced One feels such long

couragiug words Of oblivion and consola-

role, to speak Of the beauty Of sacrifice.

OF Peace Profer

tne belief everywhere in the Allied
army to-day
Are Against Compromise
Therefore Germany wants peace, but
the German government stands among
other nations as one previously having
talked peace and the flaming sword in
the same breath. The mentality of the
German military leaders, who want only
to destroy the French towns they are
forced to evacuate and leave death traps
in the wake Of their retreat at the
same moment their diplomats are talk
ing about an armistice ain the name of
the government and the German peo-
ple." is an element in the present sit
uation which makes American soldiers
skeptical.
1 think the sentiment of the Ameri-
can army to-day is to deal with the Ger
mans as one would deal with a man
who has murdered, robbed and pillaged
and then when cornered pleads for
mercy.
Americans still remember Louvain,
the Lusitania, the Sussex, Edith CaveIl,
the zeppelins, "Spurlos versenkt," gas,
liquid fire and the like And I believe
there will be disappointment among
Americans who have fought in France
for these many months if these words
fail to figure prominently in peace
negotiations.

by Stephen Pichon, the Foreign Minis
ter, at which all the members Of the
French Cabinet were present.
"EndeavorinR TO induce President
Wilson to intercede for her." Premier
Hughes continued, Germany evades
the plain blunt questions Of the Presi-
dent, hoping to gain time to extricate
herself from her fatal position and to
save the Kaiser and the German kings
and princes in the last stronghold Of
kings and military despotism."
After pointing out that Germany is
the best equipped European country to
enter on peace, the Premier said:
She must rebuild the ruined French
and Belgian cities, replace the stolen
machinery, restore the patterns and
trade secrets and compensate the
manufacturers and workmen. Until
then we can not and will not admit her
to the family of nations nor give her
a share Of our raw materials"

Wilson in his admirable reply to the

Are Not Ready to Leave

Are Not Ready to Leave
But American soldiers are not only
willing but entirely competent to re-
main in France, according to those
have talked with since Solf's note was
announced, until Germany shows her
absolute sincerity and yells loudly
enough for mercy. Until then there
will be no great peace enthusiasm in
the American ranks, and no American
gun will fire less often or with less
vengeance; no American engineer COM
pany will look less carefully for the
hidden death traps left behind by the
retreating Germans, and no infantry
unit will go to attack with less vigor.
Any German suggestion to allow a
neutral army to occupy the strip be-
tween the German frontier and the
present Allied lines will be looked upon
with suspicion and as evidence of in
sincerity on Germany's part. Any ten
dency to quibble would be regarded
likewise. So far as evidences within
Americas ever growing army 20 to-day,
| believe there will even be disappoint-
ment if Germany should lay down her
arms in unconditional surrender before
spring.
Next spring" is the American army's
watchword.
There are increasing evidences on
every hand that Germanys once power
full military machine is severely
cracked. Beginning in 1917, Luden-
dorff, Hindenburg and the other mill
tarists planned one method of ending
the war. This was the creation of be-
tween eighty or ninety highly trained
shock divisions, which were to be used
to strike powerful blows, first against
the British, then against the French.
Wanted Many Shock Troops
The enemy's first failure came before
Complegne, beginning June 8, and his
great drive from Chateau Thierry to
the Main de Massiges on July Is failed
so slgnally that it was the turning
point of the European war in favor of
the Allies. To create the great num-
bers of shock divisions, early in 1917.
Hindenburg and Ludendorff were forced
to take the best brains and Drawn from
all their two hundred-odd line divisions
on the Western front and their twenty
flve divisions remaining on the Rus
sian front.
History since March shows that shock
troops bore the brunt of Germany's
losses in all the attacks, and finally late
in July, with a million casualties, the
German High Command was forced to
meet the weight of the Allied counter
assaults with line troops who were told
early in 1917 that their sole duty was
/ to hold the Allies off while the great
mass of highly specialized open war
fare shock troops marched to victory.
They failed to march to victory, and
