The tango is a dance of Mexican
origin, which is supposed to initiate
the actions of the negroes. 1t has
the same rhythm as the Spanish ha-
banera, but is played must faster, and
is worked up faster and faster,
till it ends like the dances of the
modern ballet dances. Sometimes it
has five notes in the melody, to four
in the accompaniment, and vice versa
and its peculiar harmonic progress
sions give it a weird fascination that
has much to do with its popularity.

Washington Boy Gets Six
Hun Planes and Prob
ably Commission.

The coveted title of "ace" has been
won by a Washington boy during
the recent fighting in the American
sector near Saponay. France.
Donald Hudson, son of Paul Hud-
son. won this honor after bringing
down three enemy planes in one day.
thus making a total of six demol-
ished German airplanes to his credit.
Hudson is believed to have been
only recently commissioned in the
American forces. being transferred
from the famous Lafayette Esca-
drille.
In the recent air raid, in which
he brought down three German
planes, Hudson encountered his first
German plane high in the air. Then
his engine stalled, but he maneuver-
ed and finally managed to send the
enemy plane crashing down over
the German lines. Two German
flyers witnessed the predicament of
their comrade and rushed to his
rescue. Although his plane was
badly crippled. Hudson outwitted
his opponents, sending them shat

ROT IN HUN ARMY CAUSED
BY STORM TROOP SYSTEM
Gathering of Best Men Into Special Detach-
ments Wins Victories But Saps Strength
of Whole Machine. ss,-s 49,

The supply Of young. strong. brave
men In the German army -is distinctly
limited. The losses among these first
class men. this year, have been four
or five times as heavy as among
the rank and file OF the German hrmy.
because .sturmtruppen" has gone first
and filled the most dangerous posts
In attack and defence. Therefore,
the German leaders are faced with
the fact that their troops are rum
ming low. even though they have
plenty of men. That Is the FIRST un-
favorable result for the enemy Of this
new policy OF officially separating
good men from poor.
To this exhaustion Of the storm
troop detachments experts attribute
the breakdown Of the more recent
German attacks.
But the German policy has entailed
q still more serious disadvantage for
the enemy. indicated by the unheard
Of way In which French, American
and British troops now gain ground
In their attacks. Veterans Of the
old 1916 days, when the Boche rank
and file fought like demons for every
hundred yards and piled up scores
Of thousands OF dead before they
would yield three miles. open their
eyes at the rabbitt-like rabbie that
they meet now at the first onslaught
When the German reserves come up.
It is another story. for the Kaiser has
plenty Of good soldiers still.
Desperate Gamble Lost.
But the backbone OF the German
military system has been broken In
this gamble. Germany's chieftains
knew what was bound to happen:
they know that you cannot take all
the good soldiers out OF any army
and leave all the bad ones without
demoralizing the men who are left.
They took the chance, because they
hoped to win the war this spring and
summer by enormous victories their
storm troops would win for them.
They failed.
They now find themselves in COM
mand Of weak divisions that can be
kept In hand only by fierce discipline
and the ingrained German habits OF
obedience. but will not stand against
the attacks OF British. French or
American troops: In addition there arc
forty or fifty good divisions left upon
whose shoulders rests the task OF
warding off defeat.
The allies have pursued the only
sound system; all their troops OF the
first line are of a like caliber, worthy
to be trusted; true citizen armies OF
democracy.
All great barbarian powers have al
ways depended upon picked men. Pre-
torian Guards. given special pay and
special privileges, enemies of the
people because devoted to the service
OF -tyrants. Modern civilization has
revived from the early Greek and
Romans the citizen army: II Is sig
nificant that Germany. when the test
came. was compelled to abandon the
citizen army. and SO has gone back
to the barbarian conception Of war
making In this as in other respects.
