BEWARE OF EXCESS OP-
TIMISM

M ANY folk will lay too
JUk much stress on the
advances the allies
have been making recently. 1t
is splendid news and signifi-
cant. Foch has taken the ini-
tiative from the Germans. The
Hun army of attack has be-
come an army of retreat. The
enemy has lost heavily in men,
equipment and territory.
Yet we have not yet won
back all the ground lost during
the spring. From a standpoint
of territs9y we are not as ad-
vantageodsly located as in
early March. All this shows
that the foe has not been in
pell nell flight by any means.
He has been forced at times to
run because he was whipped.
But much of the withdrawal
has been for the purpose of Sc
curing better ground. 1t is
therefore to be assumed that
he will soon make a stand and
hold his positions.
Some people think the allies
should be able to keep on driv-
ing the foe back to the very
Rhine. 1t is not logical to eX-
pect this now. Our best in
formed men are inclined to the
view that our real big often
sive will not come until spring.
We will then have another mil
| lion men in France, we will
have a greater superiority in
aircraft and artillery.
Don't get the notion the war
| is won or nearly won. 1t is yet
| a long road to Berlin and it is
idle to expect victory until af-
ter the fighting season of 1919
Meanwhile we have a German
peace offensive to obliterate.

The ruined villages are impossible as

German dead. There are great piles
of bodies along the roads and between
them. The enemy has only recently
found time to bury any Of his dead.
"The spectacle Of the battlefield car.

in this way discovered to their sur

weak to fight. Prisoners say that the
