The Paths of Glory

The paths of glory lead but to the grave
That, written years and years is true this day
rs it was when Gray penned the words.
The aviator makes his first flight He brings down to
earth his first HUN He achieves his fifth victory high in
the air and becomes ace." He flies aoft again and
again to gain information for his brothers in arms and to
blind the "eyes of the enemy. He becomes super-ace.

the grave .
The Yank in khaki goes the top, emptes the
HUN trench Of foemen. and the American line is moved
toward Berlin just much He goes across No
Mans Land again and presses He waits in his trench
thru torrent of artillery fire and repes the German at
tack And then day. some of them go on along the
paths of glory to their graves.
Private Gresham. the first Yank to tread those paths
on French SOIL and Private Guyton. first Yank to to
his death German SOIL but lead the way thru those
fields of glory graves honored and which never
will be forgotten. Until the HUN is beaten down, their
procession of heroes will continue in unending and
Increasing numbers.
For il is true:
The paths of glory lead but TO the grave
So do ALL OTHER paths lead to the grave. The
towards path leads to the unhonored grave
and the traitors path ends at the grave-a dshonored
grave.
It is because all paths lead to the grave that they who
courageous of heart seek rather the pathway of glory
and follow it to the end 1t such graves that the very
foundation of liberty and freedom and justice is erected
is of such lives that great nations born and great
nations endure.

third place the American troops are
backed by the greatest material resources
of the world at the present time, the
most moneyed nation, the most produe-
tive nation in general, and, in many
ways, the most alert nation OF the world.
The American soldiers know that all
those resources have been turned to the
support of the millions of men who are
going into the war and that they tthe
soldiers) will receive as good treatment
at the hands of the people at home as it
is possible to give. They will receive the
best of food; they will be furnished the
best of equipment; they will be given
as many of the comforts of life as il is
possible to give soldier; they will be
tenderly cared for If sick or wounded;
and their dependents will be provided for
in case death should intervene for the
individual soldiers. In short, the soldiers
know that a merciful government is
back of them and that a merciful people
are back of the government.
That, in brief, is why 'other things"
are not equal in the present conflict be-
tween the United States and Germany
and that is why the lifetime military
training will not triumph over the hast
lily gathered army of the United States.
The American spirit is going to be a
most powerful factor The American
morale will count heavily in the balances
of this war. The lifetime Of Prussian
military training cannot triumph over
such spirit and such morale

If any question were to be asked why
the Germans were able to make such
deep inroads into the allied line as they
have made between Scissors and Rheims
it would be to inquire what the allied
airmen were doing that they permitted
the Germans to make such enormous
concentration of troops as they made on
that front without finding out such fact.
1t is part of the duty of the air service
to make reconnaissance, to act the part
of accommodating forces, to determine
what movements the enemy is carrying
out. Manifestly, then, it is the duty of
the air forces to locate the concentration
of enemy troops in large numbers. Pos
siblv the task laid before the allied air
men was too great and it may possibly
be that the Germans cloaked their con
centration so closely that the movement
was not to be detected in that manner.
However, it seems to be a reasonable in
quiry to ask whether the allied airmen
were employed to the extent of their
ability and in the right purpose.

GREAT MILITARY CITY.
Trent is Center for Austrian Activity on
the italian Front

Headquarters Italian Army, June L.
Austrian prisoners captured in the patrol
raids along the mountain front tell OF
the intense activity which centers at
Trent, the railway center of concentra-
ton, where all the Austrian men and
supplies are brought down for use in the
Brenta valley, Lagarina valley and all
along the mountain front.
The city itself they say, is huge mil
itary camp which extends ten miles
southwark to Csllisno, and eastward
through the SuRana valley which is the
great artery leading TO the Brenta val
ley and the plains Of Italy. The rail
ways have been trebled so that this
whole section is joined by network of
railway sidings and connections.
The military administration is carried
on chiefly at Trent the headquarters be-
ing in the Pretoria palace near the ia
nous old cathedral Of Trent, where the
council of Trent was held Near by is
one of the main barracks located in one
of the historic monuments Of the city.
In the Piazza Dante the bronze statue
of Dante has around its base a number
of dilapidated canno, which was claimed
to be trophies of war.
The city is practically evacuated of
its civilian population and given over
entirely as the base for military opera
lions on the mountain front.

ing on the lifetime of military training
of the German troops to show its supe-
riority over the rapidly developed mill
tary training of the American troops
and there is considerable arrogance ex-
pressed over the prospects that the
American army will break down under
the pressure of the German experience.
Other things being equal, that might be
the case; but other things are not equal
in this instance. The Americans have

ming made soldiery. They have the con.
seiousness of good cause, entered upon
with an entirely unselfsh purpose, and
they are going into this war with the
feeling that they are fighting for the
right. Nothing is calculated to steel the
arm as much as such consciousness, the
consciousness that one is fighting for the
right They are not fighting simply for
aggression as the Germans are; they are
fighting to preserve the rights Of small
nations, to wipe out the bully of the
world and to make the world safe for
the development Of ideals and ideas. In
the second place, the American troops
are backed BY the solid support Of the
American people and they feel the as
suranoe that the entire people Of the
United States are with them, in fact,
that the people have commissioned them
