not be accepted.

Maryam Woods, third and fourth

WITH THE AMERICAN AR
MY IN FRANCE, July 1S-The
entire offensive operation, be.
gun this morning on the front
between the Aisne and the
Marine, is going at this hour for
the most part even better chan
had been expected. The enemy
so far has been unable to with
stand the shock the Americans
and their allies have delivered
and are still delivering.
AS the whole German left
flank is menaced, the enemy
must withdraw his troops from
the Marne front or risk their
being caught where they are.
This means that the finishing
blow possibly has been admins
tered to his dying offensive.
American storm troops, in
large numbers, launched, in CO.
operation with the French, a
powerful offensive on the line
to the north of Chateau Thierry
this morning.
The Americans passed beyond
nearly all their objectives includ-
ing the Paris-Soissons road.
The town of scissors is now
veil within the range of Ameri-
ean guns.
American troops went over
the top with a cheer in the
launching of the attack.
The enemy was taken COM
pletely by surprise all along the
line. The American troops were
brought up in the night together
with their French comrades of
crack units and lay in their posi-
tions until 5 o'clock this morn.
ing. At that hour the American
and French artillery opened fire.
The Americans advanced behind
a terrific barrage to their first
detectives in less than half an
hour while they, in digging in,
more Americans in most cases,
passed over the first objectives
and then advanced behind the
resumed barrage to the second
Objectives which were speedily
taken, especially at the north
end of the attack opposite the
Paris-SOissOns road.
Numerous tanks participated
in the offensive.
The American infantry went
into the attack without previous
artillery preparation. In their
advance behind the rolling bar
rage they captured many guns,
machine guns, prisoners, equip
ment and material.
The Germans in most places
offered feeble resistance but
here and there they put up a
stubborn fight which the Ameri-
can shock unit quickly overcame
at the point of the bayonet and
at the muzzles of their weapons.

PARIS. July 1S--In praising the
fighting qualities of the American
troops, Col. de ThmassQn, military
writer. In concluding his article on the
battle situation today, says he cannot
resist the pleasure Of quoting a pas
sage concerning the Americans from
the semi-official N1srddeutsche Allge.
meine Zeitung. The German paper
declared:
These American soldiers are can
non fodder. They are incapable of
standing up to our seasoned troops.
America has been powerless to train
the forcibly enlisted men she has
shipped to Europe"
The way the Americans treated a
crack German division at Fossoy, says
Col de Thomasson, perhaps may give
the German writer food for reflection.

DOES WILSON WANT
TO Be KING OF THE U. S.

out a good newspaper yesterday, but
there is q disposition on the part Of
its editors to play politics in these
critical times. One Of the heads in
yesterdays Advocate asks "DOes VIII
son Want To Be King?" We don't
know and we don't care, but if max
ing him king would win this war, we
would favor doing it-at least until
the war is won. This is not time to
play politics. This writer is a good
Republican as any newspaper man in

above party politics and since we

lieve in giving him all the power ant
money needed to win this war. Aftel

WATCHING THE PRESIDENT

It is interesting to see how the
secret service men stationed at the
White House keep track of the move
ments of the President. During a
greater part of each working day, the
President is at his desk in his private
office. While he is so occupied it is
the duty of the secret service men to
remain in the reception room adjoin-
ing, where all visitors are seated.
Here they are kept informed by the
Presidents secretary of the actions
of the President.
When he goes back to the White
House proper, the secretary imparts
to them the information and they
follow him through the long corridor
Should he go out walking or riding
or to play golf, this also must b'
told them for it is absolutely neces'
sary to the proper protection Of the
President that they should know ms
day.
Formerly it was the custom Of th'
secretary to convey his message t.
the Secret Service men by word o.
mouth, but now a series Of silen'
signs are used entirely-sOrt Of wire
less telegraphy with a special code
SO that no matter how many visitor
are waiting in the room with tn
secret service men, not one know
the information given to them by tn
secretary as to just where the Presi
dent is or what he is doing. Tn
whole scheme is acted out in panto
mine and it works to perfection.
