CTS deserve credit squal to the miners, for as great as has been the production of ore the smelters have kept right up with it and are turning out every pound into copper at a rate truly marvellous.
 A fact worthy of notice Is that the profit of the companies Is small, owing to the high costs and moderate revenue, while the wages of employees are higher than ever before were paid in the histry of the in- dustry. Of all the millions that copper production brings to the companies most of these millions are paid out to employees and by them are distributed in the channels of trade No wonder Arizona IS rich.
 Copper is just as much war industry as shipbuilding, for it is now announced that practically every pound of copper mined goes into a war industry and contributes di- rectly to the prosecution of hostilities against Germany.

RUSHING AID TO THE CZECHS.

The Allied expedition into Siberia, of which American forces are taking an i'm portant part, really presents one of the most dramatic races against time that the great war has produced. To achieve the success hoped for it, some 500 miles of ter ritory must be cleared of bolsheviki and armed German prisoners of war who have been turned loose by the treacherous bol- shevilxi; the railroad must be linked up be- hind the armed expedition and tunnels that are being blown in by the bolsheviki must be cleared And all this must be ac- complished before winter sets in, some time in October, else the allied cause may suffer an unfortunate setback.
 The public has heard of the Czecho- Slovak forces battling against the bolshe- wiki, and which the allied expedition will attempt to back up But the inside story. of that heroic band of soldiers who have offered their all for liberty makes up one of the most dramatic stories of this dra- matic war
 The Czechs force IS made up nearly al- together of soldiers who deserted from the Austrian armies to fight Austria and force freedom and recognition for oppressed Bo- hemia. The revolution left them stranded. If they stayed on the east front and were gobbled up by the Germans or Austrians they would have been hanged as traitors. The bolsheviki wanted to get rid of them. So deal was made that they were to sur render all but one-tenth of their arms and be allowed free and unrestricted passage to Valdivostok, where they were to take ships for France, to again battle against the Huns and for liberty. So the pilgrimage of the lovers of liberty began. When they got into Siberia the red guard began to ob- struct their passage. The Czechs were travelling in small parties: These were aug mented by fellow countrymen who escaped from Siberian prison camps. Several times they have had to fight their way through bolshevik and German forces, made up of prisoners armed by the bolshe- vik
 Nothing braver in all the war by any heroes or set of heroes of the allied armies has been witnessed than this resolute re- sistance of these Czechs to German con quest.
 Some fifteen thousand odd members of this force have reached Vladivostok. An other fifty thousand are strung out from the Ural mountains to lrkutsk and Lake Baikal. But the two parties are separated , by stretch of territory and railroad about 520 miles long in the control of the bolshe- vik red guard and armed ex-German pris- oners.
 More German prisoners have been armed to assist the bolshevik and the situ- ation of the Czech army on the other side of Lake Baikal is most perilous unless aid can reach 1t before winter sets in.
 No peace that satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us. It cannot be a negotiated peace. It must be a dictated peace and we and our allies must dictate it. it''-Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.

An American congressman recently re- turned from France declares that American soldiers are not giving quarter to German machine gunners who stay and serve their guns until the very last and then advance with uplifted hands and cry, "kamrad. " And this Is as 1t should be- Why should these devils be allowed to turk under cover and pour stream of death into advancing Americans, each gunner it may well be, killing from ten to sixty soldiers and then, having done their very worst, surrender and go serenely to a comfortable prison camp? If they elect to fight to finish, let it be a finish. The Americans are bayoneting these fellows at their guns without qualm or mercy. More power to them!

The Stars and Stripes of France, the of fcial soldier publication over there, graph ically describes a scene witnessed by the writer of German prisoners being placed in their cages at the rear of recent battle field. There were some eighty of them, and they were unmercifully guying one of their own officers who had been taken along with the rest before he could get away from his rear rank position. These prisoners were positively cheerful over the opportunity afforded of telling this Prus- sian lieutenant just what they thought of him and his little ways and his present hu- initiation. Incensed at the jests and sar- casms he suddenly drew pistol he had concealed on his person and fired at an Eng fish officer in charge of this particular cage. The Englishman was not mortally wounded and, in his turn drew and fired on the Prussian, killing him. The German prisoners shouted with joy over the grew some incident.

One of the greatest military critics of the present war declares that in the present fighting ground taken by the allies west of the old Elindenburg line counts for naught. He maintains that only the capture Of pris- oners, guns and material count for any thing in the list of real successes. We can begin to glcat over ground captured when we occupy positions east of the linden burg line. Sounds practical and full of common sense, when you come to consider 1t.

Even if our Allies make no further
gains and the battle lines stabilize them
selves as they stand now, Foch has won

day marks the beginning of the fifth

campaign of 1918. In that period more
than 100000 American troops have been

y In a word, the situation on Friday,
July 10, when this article is written, was
this: Mangin's thrust had been imme-
diately and locally successful. 1t was
already on the edge of scissors and
across one of the vital German roads.
The problem now was whether within
the next few hours the Franco-American
forces could be pinned down and the Ger
man salient southwark to the Marine pre-
served, or whether the Germans would
have to retreat behind the Vesle River,
or even the Aisne, abandoning that front
on which they could alone make later
drive for Paris.

Foch Able
To Strike Back

But if the position of Rheims was
difficult on Wednesday night the whole
situation as Foch could see it at that
moment was extremely favorable. Ex-
cept for the single local achievement
about Rheims the entire German often
sive had failed. 1t had failed without
achieving preliminary gains which COM
promised French reserves or compelled
Foch to devote his resources to repair
ing breaks. He was in position now to
launch a counter offensive. His enemy's
troops were engaged to the uttermost.
They were wearied by days Of bitter
fighting. Their food and ammunitions
were beginning to run short. In word,
the critical moment of the battle had
arrived, a moment that must have re-
called to the Allied Generalissimo that
other time when at the crisis of the bat
tie of the Marine he launched his counter
thrust at La Fere-C hampenoise which
decided the issue of that other battle.

There remain two months of campaign

bility of one more German offensive, but
every sign that one can now see Indicates
that we have already turned the corner.
The second Battle of the Marine, while
it lacks the grandeur and the extent of
the first, may prove only less significant
than the first in the history OF the war

was Joffre's victory to German hopes in
1914.

THE SECOND BATTLE OF THE MARIN

Here was exactly the situation which
Kluck confronted when on September
his w Reserve Corps holding the flank
on the hills west of the Ourcq River was
suddenly assailed by Maunoury's whole
army and driven rapidly backward.
Kluck saved himself from ultimate
disaster by promptly recalling all his
infantry from south of the Marine, and
in the succeeding days he finally checked
Maunoury and even pushed him slowly
back toward Paris. But by recalling his
troops from south Of the Marine he aban-
doned the German thrust against the
French armies and opened the way for
the return Of all the French forces to the
offensive and with subsequent victory
of the Marine.

On the other hand, recognizing how

The Abolition
OF the Paris Front

Obviously the immediate purpose of
this thrust of Foch was to relieve the
pressure, becoming dangerous both on the
western side Of the Rheims salient and
south Of the Marine River. AS Mangin's
forces advanced westward they ap-
preached and brought under their artil-
lery fire all the roads and railroads es
sential to the existence of the German
forces on the Marine and striking tow
ard Epernay. Unless the thrust could
promptly be stopped it would become
necessary for all the German troops in
the deep salient between Scissors and
Rheims to retire. And this would mean
not merely the abandoning Of the small

All forecast and prophecy at the criti-

idle. We may, however, see that within
the next few hours further Slight ad-
vance of the Mangin forces will compel
the most considerable German retreat on
the Western front since the famous Hin
denburg retirement following the battle
of the Somme. We may see that such a
retirement would destroy all German

the German "Peace Storm has ended,

tween the Marine and the Aisne, between
scissors and Chateau Thierry, as have
already said, under conditions exactly
recalling Maunoury's thrust eastward
from Paris on September 5, 1914. He
used for his blow French and American
troops, the latter in the greatest nunfxs
bers that had yet appeared upon the
Western front, and he placed these troops
under the command of General Mangin,
who in October and December of 1916
had delivered Verdun by retaking Dou-
aumont and Vaux, and still more re-
Gently in the battle of Compiegne had, by
similar counter thrust, paralyzed the
German effort little more than a month
ago.
The First
Great Gains
On twenty eight mile front, issuing
from the woods and thickets behind them,
advancing across fields already memora-
BILE because of the fighting of our Ameri-
can marines, Mangin's army promptly
broke the first line of the German re-
sistance and crashed forward for gains
of from six to eight miles, which brought
them to the heights dominating Scissors
and for the moment, at least, across the
highway and railway connecting Sois-
sons with Chateau Thierry and serving
as the main lines of communication for
all the German troops fighting on the
Marine front.
