CALLS GERMANY INVINCIBLE.
Deputy Chief of Staff Says She Cannot
 Be Defeated.

Amsterdam, Sept. 9.-In a lecture on the war in Berlin Lieut.-Gen Bar on von Freytag-LOringhov deputy chief of the general staff, contended the present crisis on the western front was less serious than many others dur ing the course of the war.
 ''The positions we occupied before the enemy counter offensive began was the result of an abOrtiVe offensive and, therefore, unsuitable for defense whose aim was the effective econ Omizing of forces" the general is auoted as say ing in a dispatch from Berlin. The positions had not been consolidated as trench warfare demands"
 General VOn Freytag g-Loringh argued that nothing like a decision was in prospect He said:
 'The thing now is to push things so that Great Britain and America recOg- nize our invulnerability il defensive war. We lack neither men. war ma terial, nor raw material to hold out for a long time. We must, however, not slacken in our determination, which must remain alive in the army and at home. All that might divide us must be postponed until the end of the war"

Revolution Not Enough.
wall Street Journal.)

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did not need to be a Sherlock Holmes when he placed a finger upon what IS certain to be the next move in German peace propaganda. He says the establish ment of new form of government in Germany, nominal or actual, Will not warrant compromise peace, De- carse that new government will suc- caad +o the assets of the old and will be able to repudiate the liabilities.
 There is one condition upon which Germany can secure peace, ana Se- cure it before the snow flies. That IS to lay down her arms, demoblilze her troops, dismantle her WarshlpS ana submit to military occupation py the Allies of every important city III Ger many The alternative to thls IS military invasion of Germany with all it's consequences. It IS childish to pretend that the Kaiser, or the mlll- tarist party, or the aggressive trade interests which in the beginning hop ed for immense profits from the war, are alone responsible for the conse- ouences of the past four years.
 Perhaps it is true to say that the German people are heartily sick Of the war and of it's consequences to them, and ardently wish flor peace But they were all in favor of the war when it started, and when it seemed as if their coVeOtnesS and arrogance would give them immense advantages in indemnities and trade treaties. Ihls is a matter which concerns all the German people, because they had been assured that they were superhuman, and that all the world should be trib- utary to them.
 No wonder they want peace now But a compromise on the basis of change of government would merely hand on advantages secured by Vio- lence and bad faith to some other government in whatever it's form might be. This is clear enough in the talk of barter based upon the rehabilitation of Belgium, and even Serbia and northern France, in eX- change for unlawfully secured ad- vantages elsewhere. The law does not bargain with the burglar, and Bel gium, for instance, cannot be the sub- ject of barter. It must be restored by the Germans, so far as they can re- store what they Wantonly destroyed, irrespective of other peace conditions. The Kaiser said that he did not will this war. and the world knows that he willed one entirely different But nation gets the government it deserves, and if Germany chooses to be govern ed by the Kaiser, it is responsible for the consequences of his act. If Ger many has to repudiate, as she almost certainly Will, all her internal debts, and accept condition of general

"As Goes Maine,"
(Boston Post.)

Discussing the coming election (Sept. 9 in the state of Maine, the Washington correspondent to the Phil adelphia Press observes: AS Maine goes in September, so the country goes in November" This political barometer has been true for many years.
 That is the popular impression, even among people who ought to be better informed, but it is not accur- ate. Maine has twice set the wrong barometer mark in September of re- cent years. In 1912 the state went republican in September and the coun- try went democratic in November. In 1916 the state elected a, republican governor and a full republican dele gation to Congress in September, and still the country went democratic in November.
 Maine is far from being an infalli- ble test of the country's coming polit- ical verdict, and it may be a wrong guide again this year.

HUTCHINSON ALLEGED THIEF.
Prosecution of Charge Will Probably
 Not Be Pressed

Alvin Hutchinson, the jeweler who was bound over to the superior court Saturday on the charge of attempted criminal assault, may escape prosecu- ton on a charge of theft that could also be. made against him. The DO lice have information that he stole rings add other jewelry from A. J. Churchi1ls jewelry store. A pearl necklace and two valuable rings were delivered to Captain Grace at police headquarters yesterday by parents of children who received them. Hutchin- son had visited at the home of the people and had made the gifts as evil dence of his appreciation of their hos pitality. They would not let the chill dren have the gifts after learning of Hutchinson's actions.
 The police have learned that Hutch inson had been sentenced from Stam- ford for a term of two to five years for an offense similar to that with which he is again charged.

AMERICAN VETERANS.

,Whise it may seem odd to refer to young American soldiers as "veterans,' the fact that several hundred of them have been sent back to this country to be instructors at our training camps is sufficient proof that what they have been through warrants the use of the tefnl.
 Most significant is their return from the front for this purpose. Heretofore American recruits have not been co l. sidered as fully trained until they had received instruction from Allied off, cers, either in this country or lover there" Henceforth, however, our new soldiers will be trained by our own men who have been through the hell of modern warfare over a year and who are considered by the supreme command as fully equal to the task assigned them.
 That they have been chosen for this important work is at once a compli- ment to their ability and to the coun- try which can furnish soldiers who in one year have so adapted themselves as to qualify as instructors for others
 All along, the commanders of Allied divisions have expressed astonishment at the facility with which our boys be- come accustomed to the intricacies of warfare. Their initiative, courage and indomitabe will to succeed have strengthened the morale of our com rades in arms, and the troops in this cour try whom they are to instruct will derive immeasurable profit from the experience gained by these veterans of the Great World War.

A WHITE-THROAT SINGS.

From ancient Edens long forgot
 He felt a breath of spring. And in the leafless apple tree
 He heard a White-throat sing" With 1uted tripIets. clear and sweet, The bird proclaimed it's joy, And on the Withered orchard grass
 The man became a boy. boy that ran, a boy that dreamed, In April sun and rain. Who knew all good was happiness,
 All evil only pain. Sing on, O hite-throat in the tree
 He does not hear you now! The years are trampling on his heart And armies OCT his brow. From ancient Edens long forgot
 No resurrection comes Until the smallest sparrow's song
 Is louder than the drums. By Walter Prichard Eaton in the
 Atlantic.

MT. Rosenwa1d's Mission.
est. Louis RepubHc.)

Julius Rosenwald's mission to France is said to be unique. He is going over to talk to the boys in the army about what they will do when the war is done. As successful bus mess man, who started from nothing, and climbed to the top of his calling his personality will be an inspiration and his worldly wisdom, gained in long life replete with opportunities for gathering knowledge, should be of value to the men.
 Historians say that Benjamin Frank lin's practical common sense, express ed in the maxims he wrote and bor- rowed, had much to do with the pres perity of America in the early days of the country. Perhaps MT. Rosen- wald. though he can hardly be ex- pected to display such gifts as Frank lin had, may be able to turn the minds of the boys in France to serious and effective thought as to tt 3 future.

A MEMORIAL MONTH.

Never since the outbreak of hr, over four years ago, have the lies had such a successful month August, 1918. General March, in latest weekly review of the mill try situation, stated that conditions
 the western front were never so avorable as at present, and well ght he say so, for during the last onth endece numerical superiority s been wrested from the foe and he S been defeated most decisively all png the liRe j.
 aLet us seeSwhat has been accom- 8shed since August l. More than s0 square miles of territory have en freed from German occupation; large number of import" I've been captured, including Noyon, bye, Chaunes, Bapaume, Peronne, hm. Chauny, Wotan and Queant; e British alone have taken nearly g000 prisoners, 657 large guns, B. a0 machine guns, 1000 trench nor rs and other valuable booty, while Rt captured by the French and #nerican troops will greatly swell sese totals Furthermore, an addi- Bnal quarter of a million soldiers bm this country have been trans rted overseas, and shipyards in the ahited States turned out 66 com Rte merchant vessels, aggregating 8p,145 deadweight tons, or 60,OOO Bs more than the best previous re- srd.
 RIt is gratifying to note how our hpyards have overcome the subma-
 menace. Sine May 24th last,
 pirates have sunk 100000 tons
 shipping as against 90,000 tons

Thirteen Million Men,
{ Boston GIObc.)

(BostOn GIObe)
 The new registration required by the amendment to the draft law will place heavy burden on the officials of the local boards. The War de- partment estimates that 13,000, 900 men between the ages of IS and 45 must fill out the answers to the ques- tions. This number is comparable to that of the votes cast at a presiden- tial election. In the three-cornered contest between Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft the aggregate of votes for these three was less than 14,O00,000.
 Registering for the draft is more of an affair than voting for a pres dent because of the inquiries to which the government asks answers.
