"Thc American Peril"
(From the Chicago News. }


 Certain newspapers of South Ger many, it appears, are not satisfied with the sort of official stuff concern ing the American forces in France that the high command and the sub sidized press have been feeding to the German people. These newspa pers demand the truth about the Ameri- can peril" Here is one of the useful developments of the recent fighting at the Marne and elsewhere along the front Some of the Kaiser's gullible subjects realize at last that their men, dacious government has been SUD- pressing and distorting extremely un- pleasant facts
 When the United States government announced definitely that over one million American soldiers had arrived in France a prominent military critic assured the readers of the Berlin Tageblatt that this was a false and hollow boast, since "cold calculation" established the utter impossibility of fitting an American army for battle in less than two or three years. Edward Price Bell in d recent cable dispatch from London quoted this and similar sDecimens of deliberate self-deceptioo from various critics reviews of tbe military situation. The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, quasi-officiaI organ, recently informed the German people that American soldiers were "mere cannon fodder" as they were inca pablo of standing up to Ger many's seasoned troops Another German newspaper assured its readers that Amercians had no enthusiasm for and no real interest In the war.

 The Mayor addressed the Council Aarmed with an imposing array of from the local fuel Administrator and the coal dealers Association, as well as with a placard #issued by the state fuel authorities Aurging the public to "cut a cord' be- Mcause "the coal shortage is serious. Various and unique were the state
