ALI Is We'll!

Au Is Welt!
 Those who are inclined to be fearful or depressed over the German advance of some ten or twleve miles into the British lines . west of Cambrai and St. Quentin would do well to consider the messages sent by Presi- dent Wilson and King George of England to the English commander, Marshal Haig, expressing admiration for the marvellous coolness and unsurpassed bravery of the British troops against overwhelming odds. Calm and confident Is the air of the allies leaders everywhere. The British troops have not been broken or shattered. They have not been routed They have merely fallen back before masses of men and guns at one point on the great battle line
 The great and only question to consider in regard to the success of this offensive Is, how much is Germany paying in men for her advance? Most conservative estimates place her losses since last Thursday at from quarter of million to three hundred thou sand men.
 SHE WILL NEED THESE MEN LAT FER, BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE THEM FROM THE DEAD.
 Germany is using her all to break through in one sector. Ninety-seven leutonic e. visions are engaged with .twenty-seven British divisions in this great conflict. Eng fish reserves are intact and numerous. But how about German reserves after this of fensive has spent itself and the counter at tacks begin?
 French troops have not been engaged at all
 The ground is that same ground the Ger mans had to give up after the Somme of fensive It IS barren ground, possessing, as the Germans themselves said, when they gave it up, no strategic or military impor- tance.
 The Germans have gained but little since Saturday. The offensive IS slowing down to a standstill. It has cost the allies several miles of territory and some thirty thousand prisoners and probably as many more men in killed and wounded and several hundred guns It is undoubtedly the most gigantic offensive of the entire war when numbers of men and guns used are considered. But the price Germany is paying for these gains in ground and prisoners and guns Is beyond all proportion to her actual advantages --.- ----
 Considering the Teutonic offensive in its entirety up to this time, and allowing most of the German claims, one cannot feel and express to much admiration for the splen- did fighting powers and bulldog resistance of the British troops. Their heroism has been beyond all praise. They have been pressed back, but their ranks have not been broken -N No rout has been reported. even by Berlin. They have given back before overwhelming weight, that is all, but they are full of fight still and have exacted fear ful toll for every foot of ground yielded
 As Marshal Soult told Napoleon some thing more than hundred years ago, the British infantry IS very hard to break Praise be, 1t is unbroken still, before the su- Preme effort of the Hun. None of the Ger man boasts regarding this offensive have yet come true. The summer is young yet. There is lots of fighting ahead And the allies will be in better condition to stand the August test than the Prussian after his law ish expenditure of the past few days
 Let us not be cast down or afraid but rather, let us join our president and the Brit ish king in unstinted praise for and un- shaken confidence in the brave British legions.
