SOARING THE GERMANS

One of the most valuable results
Of that British dash against the
German submarine base at Zeebrug-
ge was the revelation of the Ger
mans real attitude toward America
today.
When the British vessels steamed
forward out OF their smoke screen
for their daring attack. the Ger
mans cried, "The Americans have
come" 1t was cry of panic. The
Huns were SO scared by the very
thought of an American naval raid
that they offered only disorganized
resistance. The guns fired a verit-
able hailstorm Of shells, but few OF
them hit. Manifestly. the gunners'
aim was bad-an evidence of shak
en- nerves. And there was no hand
to-hand fighting to speak Of. The
British sailors and marines drove
back the defenders almost at will.
We need not flatter ourselves that
American sailors or soldiers are re-
ally braver or more daring than
British or French. But here Is fact
of psychology which II rightly hand
led, may contributed immensely to
our military effectiveness.
That heightened cry of Zeebrug-
ge was the same cry heard lately in
allied air raids of reprisal against
German cities. 1t has happened sew
eral times that, as a raiding party
approached, the Germans shouted in
panic, TITS the Americans"
The German army, the German
navy and the German people have In
their hearts wholesome fear Of
American power, American fighting
ability, above all, of American dar-
ing. Our cue is to play upon that
fear.
We must live up to the popular
German estimate of us, and surpass
it. We must fight not by the slow,
grinding method of "attrition," but
by sudden, bold strokes, by spectac-
ular sallies. by exhibitions of reck-
less bravery.
There will be no zeal recklessness
about the method, applied as con-
sistent policy. Its purpose will bo
to destroy the morale Of the Ger
man army and nation. And it will
mean. in the end, economy of effort
and the saving of many lives. That
British attack on Zeebrugge seem
costly only because the men engaged
in 1t we're in the limelight. Ten
times as many would die unobserved
in land battle.
Let us harry the Germans in bold
raids by sea, land and air Let us

THE attack was to have been made on GER

launched an artillery attack themselves. We

the plan. 1t was our trench mortars that did the
business with barrage of those big bombs that
stand as high your waist-the kind with wings
on them. When they hit, everything around
goes up in the air. Right on the tail of them our

The Spirit of the Wounded Americans

Germany believed we lacked the fighting
spirit. The Most High and his band of land rob-
bers, convinced that the psychological analysis
which their thick skulled professors had made of
our racial traits was correct, saw in our soldiers
only weakly bunch Of eliminate money grab
bers who would run away as the Hun in
fantry fired it's first salvo. 1t gradually soak
ed into their craniums, after our boys had deci-
mated few crack Prussian guard regiments and
stormed machine gun nests with abandon, that
Americans relish fight and that the closer you
bring the fight to them the harder they hit.
The best proof, however, of our fighting abil-
ty is the statement of the American boy when
he is wounded and is being carried to the dres-
sing station or lies on his cot in the hospital
The Palladium has printed a number of letters
which the wounded boys have written to their
parents Assuredy they reveal the indomtiable
spirit Of men who never say quit" and who will
not be conquered by Prussan atrocity.
We supplement the letters that were printed
last week from Wayne county boys with state
ment made by an Indiana preacher, who is a Y.
