have now a numerical superiority of
| effectives. While for some little time
the numbers of Americans in France
| has given our side superiority as to
actual numbers, the presence of whom,
coupled with the German losses of
last month, places us in a position of
superiority of men ready to fight.
1t cannot be said that the Amer.
ican army just now is as good n
machine as the German army, but we
have the makings all ready and sea-
soned. To carry this to revelation
oN numbers would not do at this time.
German army morale is unquestion.
ably weakening, so far as certain ele-
ments which make up large part Of
the army are concerned. But disre-
garding that. and putting all the Ger
mans on an equal plane, when the
Germans started their drive on July
l6 Hindenburg had some seventy divi
sions in reserve with which to batter
his way to Paris. In the fighting to
date, since then. seventy.three Ger
man divisions have been identified, of
which forty-eight were brought up
from the German reserve. OF these
forty-eight sixteen were so decimated
that thry cannot be used as shock
troops for at least four months. Four
of these were put out by the Amer
icans-the Fifth Guard Division. the
Fourth Prussian Guard, the Twenty
third and the 216th.
German Problem Is Man-Power
The Germans now face the problem
of building up these divisions with
great scarcity of first-class fighting
material.
Hinderburg had to draw very heav-
lily on his reserves, il is thus seen.
On the other hand, Foch hardly
touched his. Germany now has twen-
ty fresh divisions.
1t will be many weeks before she
will have enough shock divisions to
stage another drive. While Hinden-
burg is building up another reserve
force FoCh will be adding new Amer
lean divisions to his already strong
shock force. This means that Ger
many would have to have a larger
reserve force than at any time this
summer to be able to try serious
drive again. 1t appears that she may
not be able to try another drive this
summer.
This leads to the conclusion that the
Allies have more than succeeded in the
task which confronted Marshal Foch
when he obtained unified command of
the Allies armies. In bOastful terms
Germany has announced that by
series Of drive after drive she was
going to get to Paris and win the
war this year before America was n
telling factor. The general view in
the Allied camps last March was that
if the Allies could hold Germany this
year all would be we'll.
Germany has been more than held
and there is nothing she can do the
rest of the year that Foch need seri-
ously fear. Certainly no one fears
what she may do next year. when to
the Allied forces which held the Ger
mans this year will be added at least
100000 more Americans, against
whom the enemy will have no counter
part. Then the war will be taken to
Germany, where it belongs.
That the Kaiser knows. and that IS
why he is forming new force of
100000 men to be his "old guard"
which will make for him the last stand
of Prussian militarism behind the
Rhine.

 War.

Beginning Friday evening August 30th, D. H, Hanson and F. A. Lash fer, ministers of the Seventh Day Adventist Denomination, will give a series of Bible lectures on the full fillment of prophecy.
 The Adventists have been diligent students of prophecy since the be- ginning of their history, and they be- lieve that an intelligent understand ing of the prophecies, shed much light on the various phases of the gospel for these last days, and should therefore be earnestly stud jed by all Christian people.
 They believe of "Armageddon" mentioned in Revelation 16:14-1G is in the future, and will be the last war among Nations; but before that battle is fought the destiny of all will be fixed.
 These lectures will be given in the hall located on East Second Street next to No. 214

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

Clifford Bruce and Dorothy Greer
make their bow to Metro audience
in the Popular Plays and Player
production. "The Devil at his Ell
bow" which has been ably directed
by Burton L. King and supervised by
Harry Revier. Aaron Hoffman has
provided the story for this gripping
screen masterpiece, and Wallace o.
Clifton has worked out the details Of
the scenario. The remarkably good
photography of the production is the
work of Neil Bergman.
Strongly contrasting scenes are
shown in "The Devil at his Elbow"
The sordid surroundings Of the wa
ter front Of a great city bring out
the more wildly, the appointments
of rich, ambitious homes and for
those who like the sea, there are
wonderful ocean scenes both in
storm and calm.
The devil at the elbow of John
Ashton, young mechanical engineer
of great ability, is drunk He be-
comes addicted to it not through any
great love for it, but to stimulate
his tired brain, when work on his
plans for new submarines must be
finished in record time. Thrilling
experiences that come to him as a
result Of this indiscretion change the
whole tenor Of his life He is plung-
ed into hard manual labor, he sinks
lower and lower into the mire of in
competence, and goes through much
depreciation before he comes to his
senses. The fact that most Of these
experiences exist only in his fevered
brain take nothing from the value
of the lesson.
How Meg, the girl Of the streets,
while only Pigment Of Ashton's i'm
agination, works his redemption is
marvelously told in ''The Devil at
