den attack, which disclosed all the Amer
lean fearlessness. In spite of the severe
barrage and machine gun emplacements
in which the enemy were sheltered, two
kilometres in depth were gained. They
also captured three cannon, large type
minenwerfer and machine guns, Beside
200 prisoners fell into the hands of the
Americans.
In addition, there have been many
concentrations of similar nature, in
which the fighting qualities of the Amer
leans have been praised. Even the Ger
mans, we fancy, will have to revise their
early estimates of the Americans as
brave but inexperienced troops, for ex-
perience has been added to bravery until
the force on the Marine front has been
welded into battering-ram which is be-
ing used with telling effect on the Ger
man defenses. Moreover, it is only an
example of what the Americans can do
and will do once they throw their full
weight against the foe. This is not idle
boasting; it is prediction based on evil
dence already submitted.

On Lvnching a Picture.

In his chapter in reprobation of the
mob spirit, President Wilson might well
have introduced some sarcastic remarks
on the spirit of mob violence which in
sists upon punching, hanging and finally
burning a manikin with iercely upturned
moustaches, or upon violently hauling
portraits of the kaiser out of the cellars
and sttics where they have found refuge
and stamping their lineaments out of ex-
istence. A recent feat of this sort at
Oyster Bay, N. Y, where mob of pa
triotic citizens" raided the house of q
woman who had purchased from the local
public library portrait of the German
emperor presented to that institution by
ex President Roosevelt, did no honor to
that interesting village. Very little ae-
count was taken of the history of this
particular picture by the participants in
the mob proceeding.
Undoubtedly the portrait, like our Ger
manic museum in Cambridge, belonged
to the period of friendly relations be-
tween Germany and the United States
to the time of the celebrated Prince Hen
ry tour, and the exchange professors,
and the brilliant Roosevelt visit to Der
lin. Strange period We now know that
we we're being carefully exploited at the
time-that the organized propaganda was
at work, and influential American mold
ers Of public opinion were being beguiled
whether they knew it or not, into boost
ing the influence of Germany in this
country and reducing as much as possible
the influence of Great Britain and France
Never again can such period as that
come. The country now knows the pur
pose and method of German imperial
gifts of statues and portraits, of muse
ums and the like. Shall we ever again
believe in German pretenses of good will
Not in a hundred years, at least. But at
the time when Colonel Roosevelt received

men bad 10 be disembarked on the other
side without losing day. The warships
raced TO France or England with loaded
transports and speeded back again to CON
voy other ships freighted with troops
waiting at the pier. Empty ships, which
did not seem TO count for much in the
schedule in comparison with needed
troops, had to get back as best they
could. Six of them have now failed to
run the gauntlet It is true that the
million men Il 10000 altogether) have
been ferried over and that we can breathe
a little easier; but still another million,
and perhaps millions, more must be land
ed in France.
Therefore a halt should be called on
turning empty transports loose on the
Atlantic and wishing them "the best of
luck" The convoy system must be so
improved and regulated that returning
carriers shall have the advantage Of it..
That means, of course, that transports
will not sail with troops quite so often
and no more records will be broken for
the present. Fortunately, the allies can
now afford TO relax from the strain of
crowding men on ships and rushing them
across the Atlantic, The pace must be
slower if it is to be made hazardous for
the U-boats to attack returning trans
ports. A higher valuation should be
placed upon the leviathans, 1t takes a
long time to build them, - New York

An American Heligoland.

Rear Admiral Austin NJ knight Of the
United States navy has recommended to
the navy department that Block Island
now noted only as a summer resort, be
taken over as a naval base, Rear Ad-
miral knight feels that the island is ca
pable of great development, and believes
that IL is of the very highest strategic
Importance If his recommendation are
carried out, this pleasure resort bids fair
TO become to the United States what
Heligoland is to Germany. In fact, not
only the location of Block Island, but It's
formation IL strongly reminiscent of the
German fortress, and Admiral knight
says: Both in character and in loca-
tion it bears strong resemblance to
Heligoland"
This distinguished naval officer points
out the advantages of and the necessity
for line of defense extending from
Montauk Point through Block Island to
Gay Head Block Island is about nine
miles from the mainland of Rhode Island
and is northeast of Long Island 1t is
approximately eight miles long and from
two to four miles wide, and Admiral
Knight says 81 believe the strategic
Importance Of this area tMontauk Point

mated and that the problems of its de-
Tense and development should be taken
up Immediately and pushed vigorously
TO completion - the developments, with
certain exceptions, being held in abey,
ance until provision has been made for
its defense"
In relation TO- this matter, the navy
general board has said; "'Block Island,
as the key position, should be rendered
impregnable, and should further be
equipped for use as a submarine base
and torpedo boat base in war"
just prior to the entrance of the Unit.
ed States into the war the subject of
fortifying Block Island was considered
by the navy department. Since then
nothing has been done in the matter.
The opinion appears to be unanimous
in high naval circles that this is a place
of great natural strength that must be
developed. II is altogether likely that
here in New England we shall see an
other Heligoland--only this one will be a
bulwark of liberty and justice, and not
buttress of oppression. y Fall River

The Lesson of Wheat.

These are proud days for Americans
proud and glad. We were in time. and
we are really counting for the winning
of the warm the battle line, on the
seas, in the air, and in our kitchens.
Let us not forget this kitchen service
We may well stop moment to think
about it, even if almost all our atten-
ton is taken by the map Of the Marine
salient.
Mr.. Hoovers recent utterances in Eng
land, and the removing of restrictions on
the use of any wheat by the hotels till
after the harvest, must come as a pleas
ant surprise to all who are not in the
very inner circles of the food administra.
ton. Never mind the figures, the fact is
the thing. And here is this good fact
that we have actually met the worlds
needs, and, what with the present situs-
tion and the prospective crops, can see
our way ahead for two years. That is
we have enabled our allies to remain in
the war and are in process OF accumulat-
ing stocks that viii carry us through the
war 1t is splendid.
And greater than this fact is that Of
the way in which the thing was done. 1t
was to be done, anyway, You know, so
we feel justified in calling the manner
of the doing it greater than the thing
itself. Not by bread cards, nor by a
swarm of spying agents of government
but by willing self-denial, made volun-
tarily upon request of the government,
was this fine thing achieved. We are
aware that there have been occasional
infractions Of the rules, and that penal
ties have been imposed Human nature
being what it is, of course there are indi-
yiduals who cannot play the game ac-
cording to the rules But, taken by and
large this whole country Of ours coop
Grated to save wheat--and it saved it by
voluntary cooperation, under the guild
ance of a great army of volunteer food
workers.
This is one Of our ways of showing
that democracy can make war and re-
main democracy. 1t demonstrates that
the viii of the whole people can be mo.
bilized upon given pointer rather,
that the will of a whole people, given q
reasonable objective, is capable of mobil-
izing itself and doing the needful thing.
That is a fine object lesson for nation
that is fighting for the ideal of freedom
to give to the world.
OF course, there have been rules as well
as requests. They were necessary, and
still are and will continue to be neces-
sary We must still mix chicken feed
with wheat and call the product Victory
bread, but we shall keep right on doing
it, and if we get chunk of the stuff oe
casionally that we can't crack, we shall
crack jokes about it, and keep right on
saving wheat. For we mean to have it
written into our record that in the world
war for freedom we maintained the
world larder like free men.-Manchester
