year while American forces were reaching
their full strength, and plan for the big
offensive blow next spring.
But the American program is now three
months ahead Of schedule and is gaining
momentum every week. The success Of the
offensive operation undertaken in the
Marine salient has been so notable, and the
advance was made with such apparent ease,
that the Allies may strike their great blow
this coming fall.
At least three and perhaps four months
Of good weather remain. The initiative
which has been wrested from Germany
probably never will be relinquished again.
The new attack by the French near Mont
didier is fairly good evidence that Gen
eraI Foch is determined to give the Ger
mans no rest now. At the present rate Of
transport, America will have 100000 men
in France by September 80. IF the fighting
during the next six weeks discloses suffi-
cient strength in the Allied lines or suffi-
cient weakness in the German forces, Octo-
Der may see the supreme effort to end the
war this year.

JUST ANOTHER BLuNDER.

The attempt of the German government
to mould public opinion by controlling q
string of American newspapers headed by
The New York Mail, is but another sam
pie of the colossal laundering of the much
Wanted German System.
The blunder was due to the Same cause
as the other mistakes of the German for
eign office in dealing with neutral coun-
tries. The German junkers thought the
people of democratic countries were
stamped out by the same die as their own
people.
In Germany, it may be possible for a
controlled press to pour ideas ready made
into the minds of the people.
In America, nothing can lose money,
caste and influence quicker than a daily
newspaper that is turned into an organ.
No editor is skillful enough to fool his
readers for long, and the newspaper that
becomes an organ of any party or propa-
ganda is quickly recognized as that and
nothing more.
The wisest publisher is the one who
seeks to give information; who takes as his
motto, nothing but the truth. Any other
policy can send the most valuable newspa-
per property in America into bankruptcy in
a years time, unless it has unlimited
propaganda funds behind it. Even had the
German plan of buying newspapers been
successful and not exposed the papers
would have been without influence and
mere financial ratholes long before this.

AMERICAN INITIATIVE SHOWN.

Countless little anecdotes from the field
of battle disclose the superior initiative Of
the American soldier.
Two Americans are captured and are be-
ing rowed across the Marine in a canvas
boat. They rock the boat, upset it, and
escape by swimming under water to avoid
German machine gun bullets.
Two Americans are cut off and sur
rounded by Germans. They storm a ma
chine gun, capture it, and turn it loose,
wiping out the Germans between them and
safety.
Twelve Americans find themselves in
side the German lines. They scatter, and
with their automatic rifles, open up from
II different points upon a German trench.
The Germans think they are surrounded
and surrender-more than 100 Of them.
It isn't any reflection on the value of
discipline, to say that the American never
fights better than when he is on his own -
and facing long odds. His whole previous
training has been to think and act for him
self. The German has been trained to take
orders and obey them.

VICTORY OVER OURSELVES.

"We can say emphatically that all
anxiety as to the great essentials OF
food is now past.
That was the encouraging summary OF
the situation Mr.. Hoover gave at lun-
cheon held in his honor by the Lord Mayor
of London yesterday.
That one sentence sums up the results
Of Americas unique experiment IN ration
ing.
The history of the American food con
servation campaign has been a glorious
record Of cooperation.
During the last year the United States
has changed from one Of the most waste
fnl of nations to one of the most thrifty
and done it voluntarily. From a nation OF
MASTERS we have become a nation Of saw
.ers.
For months we have been actually feed
ing our allies out Of our savings. Early in
the year the Allies called for 100000
bushels Of wheat. Our surplus then was
exhausted, yet we sent them the 100000
bushels and 100000 bushels more for
good measure. That wheat was saved from
our own rations.
It is a record in which the folks who are
forced to stay at home and perform the
less glorious tasks Of war, may well take
pride. Mr.. Hoover's statement doesn t
mean that the necessity for conservation is
ended-just the contrary. 1t proves that
conservation is such a success it can be
continued. The danger Of real famine in
the allied nations, except Russia, is ended,
but we can It afford to relax any more than
can General Pershing's men after their
first victory.

IS MR.. CREEL MUZZLED2

It has not taken the war department
long to learn from the French and British
the value of moderation in making official
reports.
ALI the official statements regarding the
recent fighting have come from the war
department direct without going through
Mr.. CreeI's hands and they have shown an
admirable restraint The reported cap
ture Of scissors was slip, but Mr.. Baker
did not definitely announce that. He
stated merely that the dispatches indicated
that Scissors had been captured It de-
veloped that the city had not actually been
occupied, but it was made untenable for the
Germans.
In his other statements, Mr.. Baker has
confined himself to saying that ''the re-
ports are encouraging" and "seem to indi-
cate heavy fighting and effective resist
ance''.
Compare these with Mr.. Creel's famous
story of the submarine attack on American
transports. In Mr.. Creel s hands, the story
Of the fighting of the last few days would
have been masterpiece Of radiant optim-
ism, more or less based on the facts.
American newspaper readers prefer to
place their own Interpretation on the news
dispatches and judging from Mr. Bakers
restrained style, they need allow but an
Insignificant margin for undue optimism,
which is as it should be.

MAKES GOOD AS
IRISH CENSOR
Lord Decies, Husband Of
Vivian Gould, Right
Man In Right Place

Dublin, June 30.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press. seldom
can a person burdened with the du"
ties of an important censorship lay
claim to any considerable degree OF
popularity, but Ireland possesses q
press censor who is really popular
even with the men whose writings ne
is compelled to blue-pencil and criu-
cize. The Irish. press censor is LORD
Decies, we'll known in the United
States. and all classes Of Irish news
papernen appear to be agreed that
he is the right man for the place.
IIs&d Decies' censorship office ts
located on two upper floors in a
building on Grafton street, Dublin
above a, barber shop and a billiard
room. Irishmen hate ceremony and
unnecessary Formally, and Lord De-
cies is not in the least pompous or
ceranonious. He Is always ready to
meet and talk with the men whose
COPY he censors, and when the
business Of the moment is finished,
he is ready to chat with them, for a
few minutes on the favorite Irish
topfcs of sport and horses, on both
Of which subjects he is an expert.
The kew to Lord Decies' success
as a, censor, however, is probably
that he has succeeded in convincing
all classes of Irishmen whether Stpn
Fein or Orangemen, Of his absolute
impartiality and fairness to both
sides. One Of the best tributes to
his popularity is that he is occasion
aIjv made the subject Of newspaper
Jokes. He has pasted on the walls
of his office some of the extraor-
binary letters and clippings which
have reached him. In several OF
them he Is jocularly addressed as
