The state Department of Agriculture

Many of the showers were accompanied

lean heavy shell had landed among a
group of Germans loading ammunition
into truck. The debris of the Ger
mans. the exploded ammunition and the
truck still remains where the shell struck
the outfit.
1t Is necessary for n country to have
such ruin upon it's soil to realize what
war is, necessary for the people to have
their homes shot to dust and ruin to
know what the struggle involves. But
the French spirit, indomitable and brave.
Is unshaken.
French Folk a Game Lot
Witness. for instance. the civilians I
saw working today In ChateauThierry
mending the holes in their houses ana
clearing away wreckage where nothing
worth while was left of the places held
so dear. Scattered in all parts Of France
in the first days of June when the Ger
mans took Chateau-Thierry, as soon as
the word went out that the French ana
Americans had recaptured their home
town, back they came to take up their
life where the hated boche had inter-
rupted it. They are a game lot, these
French folk. the gamest in the world.
They will stick to the end.
To the Americans in France the war
SO far Is more or less of a great ad-
venture. To the French in France 1t Is
a sterner and uglier reality. The Amer
lean fighting men are bearing the blows
of war in France, but in the French
people as well as In the soldiers who
have borne the blows of war in France
for four 'long years, the spirit OF France
Is strong.
1t must come as no disappointment to
America that her soldiers are not moving
ahead SC fast as they did last Thurs
day. Then they took the Germans by
surprise. Now the Germans have put
up their reserves. have reorganized and
are doing their best to keep from going
backward further.
1t should be a source of greatest salts
faction to the American people, source
of the greatest confidence in their fight
ing men. and of the greatest faith in
General Foch, General Pershing and Cen
eral Petain, that the Allied troops de-
spite the best resistance the German
high command can make are still able
to push forward, even though the pace
be slower The American divisions are
doing all their generals expect of them,
and that should be all their country ex-
poets.

further-although they will-they have

This progress was made in the face
of most obstinate resistance by the

the Marine: they have hammered back
his beatty claws, Clutching at Chalons

have thrown back his front between Sois-

They have done more-they have
broken up the plans the German high

this year. They have made certain that
the Allied armies can do more than hold
the Germans until next year. when the
Americans and French and British and
Italians will turn the tide in no uncertain
way.
They have shown that the Germans
cannot win. 1t is a long way from the

roads.
