PARIS. July 25.--Gcrmany's des-
peration in ruthlessly sacrificing her
man power. time and material by
throwing in division after division.
to be chewcd up on the Soissons-
Rheims front. Is due TO four reasons.
First-The allied snashes around
the ring encircling the Germans are
giving the former the initiative at a
moment when II disrupts the careful
" laid summer campaign which Lu-
dendorff promised would bring vic
tory and peace.
Second-Foch is using up the Ger.
mans time. which is vitality impor-
tant TO them.
Third The German -nilitarists so
encouraged the public with, the idea
OF taking Paris that they dare not
admit by retreating that their chance
is gone
Fourth-Ludendorff accumulated
vast quantities OF material within
the Scissors Rheims pocket for fu'
ture operations. which he is trying
to save by throwing in fresh divis-
ions.
Even were tho allies to be
stopped now, they have accom-
plished far more than they in
tended when they started their

Submarines Near New York

Were you surprised, dear readers,
when the press dispatches reported the

miles of New York City?
Well, l must confess 1 was not sur
prised. l have been expecting it, After

nearl ytwo years ago, and rose and
dipped and showed what a German sub
marine could do, three thousand miles
from home, and then went out again,
as it came, without any difficulty, L have
only been surprised that they did not
come back more frequently. If there is
any spot of ground on the Atlantic or
Pacific coast where a monster gun can
be erected and throw shells as far as
they have been throwing them into
Paris. | shall not be surprised to hear
that the Germans will try to do That
stunt also. But that does not mean de-
feat for the patriotic people OF Amer
ica and nobody need to lose sleep on
that proposition.
IT is going to be unpleasant and un-
dorbtedly serious-but It is one OF the
things we may expect.
Since Carranza lshowed the yellow
streak in him-and' ais Animation Win

demonstration of a similar kind from
Mexico. That CarranZa viii go TO the
Huns, is a certainty-and L feel very
much like we made a grievous mistake
that the United States government ala
not thrash Carranza to frazzie In
1914 when our troops took Vera Cruz
and held it six months. Villa was
bad 'un. but he is a gentleman COM

Villa would have cleaned up Carranza
