SUCH IGNORANT,
POOR SOLDIERS
THOSE AMERICANS

Since American troops are sulfici-
emily acti-e In the front line trenches
IN France to warrant reportorial no
tice, German newspapers, according 10
cent copies received here, publish ar
ticles telling their readers what they
think of the American soldier. Most
OF these articles are sent out by the
semi official VOLTS bureau. Says the
semi official Cologne Gazette:
American prisoners recently taken
admit that the lightning-like attack
OF the German infantry absolutely sur
prised and dumfounded them They
surrendered quickly and without any
resistance worth mentioning. All
were glad to be taken prisoner and
thus have escaped the further horrors
OF the war.

Their home is in the state of Con-

men, but make little warlike i'm pres

aims and causes of this war, believ-

capitalists. They hate the British, but
respect them, while they look upon
the French with sympathy. As far as
Germany is concerned, they are abb
solutely indifferent"
"On April II we brought down our
first American airplane," says the Ber-
liner Tagehlatt. The pilot. who is an

The Deu,sches Tageszeitung of
Berlin says;
THE American soldiers have proved
TO be a bitter disappointment TO the
French They do not seem TO have
any idea as to what war really means
AS soldiers they are utterly unauah-
fed. Not capable OF solving tasks
without the assistance OF either the
British or French, they are used here
and there TO fill out gaps under the
direction OF any officers but their own.
French officers taken prisoner by us
do not conceal their keen disappolnt-
ment in the American soldiers.
Unhappy Foch.
Reviewing the military situation IN
the west, the Deutsches Tagcszeitung
OF Berlin In recent copy just reach
ing here says editorially:
The advantages are al on our
side When General Foch took com
mand of the combined allied armies.
he took over a situation forced upon
him: he entered the scene Of battle
without freedom of action.
THE conditions In which he finds
himself, speaking from a strategical
point of view. are far from being
favorable to him.
The game of chess, Foch contra
Hindenburg, is TO be continued. Not
one moment do we doubt as to who
will win. 30 ~~ls&N&HH
In order TO understand this strate -.
Eical game of chess it cannot be said
mphatically enough that this gigan-
tic offensive is only In its beginning,
in spite of the fact that we have
already achieved tremendous sue
Cesses.
"Many More Phases"
This great battle will pass through
many more phases before victory is
| ours. including the much heralded
counter offensive from the part of the
entente.
Since we have the freedom Of
action we will be able to dictate
| where and when the enemy's counter
attack shall take place.

it is necessary that eTnt

is to offer to exchange Liberty

Good Bye Boys,
Do Your Best

The boys called on the last
draft were royalty entertained
at Lutz hall Wednesday night BY
the local board and citizens of
Carrizozo. A program Of in-
torost such MS is usually present
ed nj such affairs, was carried
out, chief among which was the
address delivered ty the speak
er of the evening, Judge Seth +.
Crews Of Oscuro. The Judge
after administering some good
wholesome advice to the boys
who were about to leave, dwclt
at length on the reward which
awaited the victorious return of
boys from The present struggle.
Among the many other good
things said which were so num-
erous and effective that space
will forbid its publication, he
said: when our soldiers re-
turn from their victorious en-
counter with the Hun they will
find ready hands and willing
hearts to give them our leading
positions in public affairs of bus
mess and politics. Soldiers will
be readily elected to positions of
public trust, for after they have
barred their breasts to receive
the blow in the present struggle
for freedom and democracy.
they will be more than oi.itled
to handle affairs of state, nat.
ional, and be leadngly identi-
fled in the business interests of
our country"
The address was on the whole
one of vital interest abounding
with thoughts of an advanced
patriotic nature. The speaker
was repeatedly interrupted with
rounds of applause, which show
ed how well his remarks were
received and how highly his or
atorical efforts were appreciated.
After the program, the good.
natured crowd engaged in dane.
ing to the music furnished by
Messrs. Ferguson and Pitts,
which always makes the feet
travel to the time, for they just
can't help it, you know. At the
usual time the crowd dispersed

depot t4 see the boys off and
wish them the best of every.

One Of the rayorite themes Of
Hun propaganda has been that
the American loves money TO
the exclusion Of everything else,
and that he win not leave the
pursuit Of the dollar for glory on
the tented field or for any Of the
motives that move the people of
other nations to war. From
Hindenburg to the most humble
and stupid peasant under the
rule of the Kaiser, people of the
Fatherland were told that there
was no fear, the American would
not fight. Even after war was
declared they were told America
was bluifing.
Americas answer is a million
men on the western front fight
ing, ofiicered by men from civil
life, who two years ago did not
know the real difference between
a corporals guard and an army
division. From every state,
city, town and hamlet in these
United States they have gone to
the training camps to prepare to
give the lie to Hohenzollern
sneers nay, to fight for a cause
so much higher and bigger than
that of the Central powers that
the war lords Of Germany and
Austria Hungary are both a.
mazed and stricken with fear at
the boundless enthusiasm Of free
America.
One of the chief of the nations S
sons, pursuing his growing bust
ness in Chicago as a corporation
lawyer, to hear the call of the
nation and TO leave all at a great
sacrifice to himself and become
an officer in the national army is
Lieut.. Col Ralph Crews, now
stationed in Washington. Two
years ago Col. Crews was going
in and out among the lawyers
and business men of Chicago,
earning for himself a good name
and grandly earning for his little
family with the increasing re-
tainers from his profession. He
thought not of war, or. if he did.
only as a busy American giving
his first attention to the clients
he served. Col. Crews was a
member Of the law firm of
Adams, Crews, Bobb, and Wes-
cott, of Chicago, all of them
American to the core. He was
financially interested in the Fort
Dearborn National Bank, in the
Old Ben Coal Corporation and
other business enterprises. He
had given long study TO general
business problems, and his Judge
ment and advice were much
