THE MARCH OF VICTORY.

100000 Germans put out of action. Marshal Foch il
pursuing him with implacable energy There is nothing
in the situation to suggest that the German high com
mand will be able to halt at the Wotan any other
line The allied forces stronger than the enemys
and have the advantage of better equipment and superior
methods Of attack Their tanks over the enemy de-
lenses and extermnate machine gun nests with ease
and dispatch. The enemy is becoming more and more
depressed day,as he his fdefenses crumblng and
his reserves melting away.
There arehints that the full strength of the Amer-
cans is not yet empIoyed that the American soldiers
may strike in quarter, to the increased en-
barrassment of the enemy.
The French and British armies are accomplishing mar
veous things. They have taken on.new life. They have
recovered most valuable terrain but better than that
they have revived their own spirit of victory which was
benumbed by the terrific onsaugh and steady advances
Of the enemy in March, April May, June and July That

dous attacks and fought to the end against overwhem

glorious courage They have richly earned victory hav

to the American army that it can associate with such
splendidly heroic men.
The rapidly increasing American force may enable
Marshal Foch to carry the war into Germany without
regard to winter We earnestly hope So If the enemy
should gain respite during the winter he will be harder
to kill next spring. If possible, the allied offensive
should 60 forward without cessation bearing down the
enemy at every point and giving him no rest night or
day. At the rate the allied armies are moving forward
they willhave France and Belgium swept clean before
many months have passed Then the goal will be in
sight The Rhine must be crossed in force by the gallant
armies of France, England and America.
If the enemy should be so foolish as to resist it will
then be the duty of the allied armies to lay waste the
country they advance-and may they do their duty
thoroughly! The German territory ought to feel the
couge Of flame and be turned by the plowshare of
war. The allies should spare civilian life in all cases. but
they should not leave stone upon another they
march upon Berlin. If Cologne and Bonn and Cobenz
will surrender then let them be RACED and burned
so that no man may ever know them again. The Ger
cannot learn their lesson until it has been bombed
into their heads and burned into their flesh They must
learn it, for the sake of the worlds safety therefore
let the bombing and the burning go forward as speedily
and as thoroughly possible.
One of the reports from the front states that the
Americans hunted the Germans down like wild beasts
That is most satisfactory report. The Germans are
wild beasts in this They should be treated as such
The rapidly they exterminated the sooner the
world lift up its head and its spirits Since
alternative Of dead civilization or dead German mill
tary system, let the issue be decided without delay

"ADS" FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN
Newspaper display advertising will be relied on more
than to sell bonds during the fourth Liberty loan
campaign which begins September %. In fulpage and
partpage advertisements designed by trained advers
ing men, the story of liberty bonds will be borne home
to newspaper readers. The campaign will be one to ad
vertise the war as much as to sell bonds
DESIGNS and copy have been prepared and will be sup
oiled free The government will not pay for the pub
lcation but local committees will canvass merchants
and business interests to pay for the space.
