since then it has grown by $1,000. O00-e-
900 In this manner and to prosecute
the war Germany has mortgaged
more than two fifths Of her natural
wealth, estimated at $50, 00.000,000.
The allies now hold this mortgage and
will have not the slightest reason to be
a lenient creditor. 1t may be neces-
airy to take over the German fleet,
junk it and sell the materials to ma
tons who can use them. The kaiser
will not have use in the future for a
dozen palaces. and he and the Krupps
may be forced to contribute largely to
the indemnity funds. Germany must
pay. however the method. and the war
burdens of the empire will not cease
for several generations. The efforts OF
the people to overthrow kaiserdom
and accept democratic conditions hay"
come too late for them to evadc the
price that must be paid for their
earlier belief that their kaiser was
destined to rule the world.
Denmark seized an opportune
moment to raise the question OF
Schleswig- Holstein. Denmark's neu-
trality has never been questioned, but
her position was. in many respects
beneficial to Germany. While no moral
obligation exists for allied assistance,

Danes probably will 10 encouraged.
When Prussia took Scblcswig- Hol-
stein from Denmark the world knew
the reason A German fleet and a sea
base at Kiel were openly admitted to
be the underlying reasons for the ter
ritorial larceny. Therefore the restor-
alton Of these lands to their rightly
owners will be a practical move to-
ward depriving Prussia of powerful
weapon with which 10 prosecute a
future war.

Auztria was strong and powerful ana
the Hapsturgs were seeking European
domination.
~The rapid advance Of the allies on
the western front,q which is steadily
forcing the Germans back to their own
border. continues without cessation.
To the average war news reader this
advance has simply been series OF
attacks at different points along the
line. But these attacks are mapped
out scientifically, They are part CT
Foch's strategy. The dominating. idea
Of his plan is pincers within pincers.
The pincers map on this page gives a
graphic idea Of his plan. The sweep OF
each pair Of pincers is shown as u
semi circle The outermost, indicated
by the arrows marked a. stretches
from the Anglo Began thrust at
Ypres to the American thrust in the
Argonne. Within that semi circle is
another pair of pincers indicated by
the arrows murdered (2) with the Jaws
at the Champagne and Cambria fronts.
The innermost semi circle. indicated
by the arrows numbered (3), was so
planned that It eliminated the ST.
Quentin-La Fere salient This inner
pincer being closed, greater pressure
still is being brought to bear on thu
jaws of the other pairs of pincers.
1t is not probable the allies will
permit any Of these vassal states to
escape their full duty and obligations
when peace terms are finally signed.
The German empire has an enormous
debt to pay, and is facing bankruptcy.
The lesser etates furnished the kaiser
with men, munitions and money with
which to prosecute his unholy war.
They must help pay the price to be
exacted for the rehabilitation and re-
endorsement in small part Of the

CONSUME FRENCH WINE.
German Officers Like Vint Of Grape

TCorrespondence of Associated PreSs.I
With American Forces in France,
Sept. 3O.-Officers of the German army
who occupied Thiaucoart until they
were driven out by the Americans in
the smashing of the st. Mihiel salient
enlivened their stay in the little French
village by consuming large quantities
OF French wines which they contiscated
from the cellars of the French propri-
etors. From the wine cellar Of one
Frenchman alone the Germans TOOK
5000 bottles of champagne. 1O.ooo
quarts Of red wines in bottles, and
drained thirty enormous casks each
containing more than 5000 quarts or
various kinds of wine. The advance
guard of the Germans helped them
selves literally to the wine. Later the
greater part Of 1t was shipped back to
Germany as loot of the Germany army.
None Of the civilians of Thiaucourt
was ever searched for valuables and
owing to this fact all Of those who re-
manned in Thiaucourt when the Amer
leans entered the village still had all
jewery and other articles of gold and
silver Many of the women had sewed
material over the French gold pieces
and wore them upon their outer cloth
ing as buttons.
Many Of the keepsakes and pieces of
jewc!ry and French gold coins were
offered to the Americans by the villag-
ers as souvenirs, but the Americans
refused to accept them
The villagers said that two years ago
the Germans strippi the churches OF
Thiaucourt of their bells and even took
the metal of the pipe organs. all OF
which was shipped to Germany to be
turned into material for war. The cleo
trio light plant likewise was disman-
tied Of it's machinery. and every bit OF
metal obtainable, was sent back as fast
as it could be assembled.

SCISSORS AND PASTE.

| Ns.as the dispatches announce.
8Hrsh and German light forces
clabhed in the waters east of Helgo-
Land. the British cruisers must have
.penetrated well into Hegoland Bight
between the famous sea fortress and
the mainland of Germany, This, SO
far as the public is aware, is an un-
usual occurrence and indicates a
i degree of aggressiveness in the. Brit
In naval policy which has not here
tofore been deemed expedient.
Helgoland Blight is German water
not by virtue of the German feet but
by virtue of the countless German
mines which are concealed there.
Early in the war. Beatty fought a
brilliant action in the Blight with his
light cruisers but since then, so far
as is generally known, the British
very wisely, have not risked their
warships in those waters. If they
are pushing forward into the Blight
now there must be some reason for
it.
1t may be too much to assume that
momentous naval action is in pros
pect but certainly there seems to be
a possibility that such is the case.
This Helgoland adventure, coupled
with the mine sweeping expedition
into the Cattegat last week, looks as
if something is being planned. These
operations may be in preparation for
naval offensive by the British fleet
which has been reinforced by Amer
lean units or they may be undertaken
in anticipation Of some naval move
ment by the enemy. Whatever their
significance they are deeply interest
ing and the public will wait eagerly
for their sequal If there is to be
one.

Crazy Enough.
(Greenville Piedmont.) }

| NuTeenVllle IledmOnt.)
There's nothing in the story "Kai.
ser Wilhelm is Going Crazy" He's
gone-been for some time.
For years, the experts have been
convinced that Wilhelmn's "wither-
ed" left side extended to his brain.
He is the Nero of our times, barring
his superiority to that old Roman
william as to personal morality. Like
Nero, he has posed as a composer of
music, poet and an artist, and bet
ter composers, poets and artists than
he are starving to death. Being also
the head of militarism, Wilhelm.
like Nero. has acquired some stand
ing in the arts. at least, in Ger
many But getting fame that way
is easy. We ourselves could get
'way-up repute as poet or musician.
when given an army to back us up,
but not till then, maybe. Give to
most any fellow the conviction that
he's sublime poet, composer and
artist and the war lord of the earth
and he'll be crazy, all right. Egotism.
backed by despotism, logically pro-
duces lunacy, and among the divine
rights" to which Wilhelm was born
was the right to be egot and despot
for all that was in him. Genuine ar
tistic talent never is bred and born
that way.
The world might put up with Will
helms craziness as long as it was
confined to Germany, but it being
now rampant throughout the world
seeking whom it may devour or cor
rupt, the proper thing is to lock ii up,
and this is the worlds present bust
ness

FACTS WILL TELL.

Because the people of the country
have been treated to stories of the
sensational charges of Gutzon Borg
lum that graft and German intrigue
were responsible for delays in the
production of aircraft, they should
now be given the facts as they are
determined by thorough investiga-
tion which has been ordered by
President Wilson. The News has
discounted the charges from the time
they were made, but has kept an
open mind and a willingness to be
convinced. Developments of the
past few days would indicate that the
charges of Borglum are the result OF
efforts OF disgruntled individuals
who were unable to make connection
with the nations aircraft program
to get even" Borglum. himself, re-
ports from Washington tell us, hav-
ing fallen down in an attempt to or
ganize a private company to take over
government contracts for the con-
struction of airplanes. and it is
stated, as a counter-attack against
that of Borglum wherein the latter
attempted to show that Colonel
Deeds had changed his name from
Diech, because Diech sounded too
Hunnish, Colonel Deeds is quoted as
stating that he rejected an aeroplane
invention which Mr.. Borglum
brought to him last summer, leaving
the inference to be drawn that there
may be a significant connection be-
tween that incident and the charges
of pro-Germanism preferred against
Colonel Deeds.
The News expects no more than
that the Borglum charges will fall
down completely, even though there
may have been very slight grounds
for them. We expect the investiga-
tion to bring out the fact that there
has been a great deal of waste OF
money, as there always is in the ex-
penditure OF such colossal sums, and
that airplane construction might
have gone forward more rapidly but
was retarded by this and that OBJ
which could not be avoided,
and that Borglum, seeking personal
advertisement and personal gain,
and thwarted in the latter direction,
brought his flimsy charges of graft
and pro-Germanism through re-
venge, and is thereby one of the
worst of the worst obstructionists.
