FOLLOWING UP A RETREAT is NOT
EASY.

EAG i.
1t is by no means easy work which the
allies have to perform in following up
the retreating Germans. The latter
have, of course, done as much damage
as they could over every yard OF the
ground they have given up. Undoubted-
ly they have destroyed the roads as
thoroughly as it was possible to do it
under the pressure Of Foch's advance,
and where they could not destroy the
roads they probably have placed obstruc.
tions in the way of the allied advance
Besides that, they have laid traps, set
mines and built up all the contraptions
Of death which they are capable of de-
vising and everybody knows that the
Germans are expert in that line of actiy-
ity. Hence the pursuit by the allies is
fraught with much difficulty as well as
with grave dangers. A prodigious
amount of labor has to be done before
the heavy artillery can be brought up;
the roads have to be rebuilt, the OBJ
structions have to be removed and the
death traps have to be sprung or cleared
away In the meantime only the lighter
guns and the scattered detaehments Of
troops can be sent in immediate pursuit
of the enemy, while the tanks, those
most essential instruments of modern
warfare, have to wait until a pathway
can be cleared.
Therefore, if the allies advance should
seem at some time or other to be de.
layed, as if the troops of Foch had been
brought to standstill, it should be
borne in mind what great difficulties
must be overcome even by pursuing
army before the various weapons can be
brought to a point where they will be
effective. Time must be given to get
the tanks through and to bring up the
heavy guns. Scarcity of striking news
of long gains and heavy captures does
not mean, necessarily, lessening of the
power of the drive; it may mean that
the pursuing army is getting in position
to smash the foe still harder.

FOREIGN-BORN BOUGHT
u. S. BONDS LITERALLY
In Consideration of Their Financial Abil-
ity They Bought More Generously
Than Native Citizens, 1t
Has Been Found.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 5.--America's
foreign born population = immigrants
within the last generation, and Germans
acknowledgement out their savings
for Liberty bonds of the third loan more
generously, in consideration of their
limited financial ability, than native citi-
zens.
This is indicated by treasury report
estimating subscriptions of citizens Of
IS foreign nationalities at $74l ,437 900,
or nearly Is per cent of the &,l76,000,-
900 total of the third loan.
The number of bond buyers was esti-
mated at 1901 900, or Al per cent Of the
total of 100000 on the roll of sub
scribers, and the average subscription
among the foreign speaking population
was calculated at Sl05. Germans made
the biggest record Of all nationalities.
Subscriptions actually reported and
tabulated by nationalities amounted to
S407 100000, but it was estimated this
sum represented only about 55 per cent
Of the total, much of which was includ.
ed in the big stream of general subserip-
tions without designation OF the sub
scriber's nationality
This record was cited by the treasury
to-day in support of claims of enthu-
siastic patriotism apparent among the
nations foreign born citizens during past
loan campaigns. In nearly every city
and town having many recent immi.
grants, selling committees already have
been formed in preparation for the
fourth loan campaign, which will open
Sept 2S. This organization work is
supervised by section Of the treasury's
loan bureau, directed by Hans Rieg, an
American of German descent, who speaks
more than dozen languages.

Bohemians and Jews turned in the great.

ish record, however, is believed to be in
sufficiently represented by the $685.

The fall of the city of Lens to the
British, which now seems to be an ac-
complished fact, releases to the allies
the central point of the great coal region
of northern France, a region which the
French particularly have longed for ever
since the great invasion and a region
which was chung to by the Germans
with great tenacity despite repeated
pressure brought to bear by the allies
during the recent years of the war. The
wrestling Of the valuable coal deposits of
the Lens are from the Germans makes a
valuable step in the stripping of that
nation of its ill-gotten gains acquired
during the early part of the struggle.
The evacuation Of the city by the Ger
mans under pressure is likely to be un-
der estimated because of the greater
movement of things further to the south
ward on the battle line; nevertheless the
holding of Lens by the British means
another nail driven into the coffin of
Germany's hopes. 1t points to the forced
evacuation of the northern section of
France if not to an overwhelming and
decisive defeat if Germany elects to try
the issue in conflict.

From the viewpoint of casual OBJ
server Of men in public life in New
Hampshire, and especially Of those who
were candidates in the recent senatorial
primary, one would say that the Repub-
licans of the neighboring state have done
well in the selection of GOV. H. w. Reyes
as their candidate for the Senate, and
the voters OF the state viii do equally
well if they elect him to the national
body. Governor Reyes has served the
state acceptaby as the chief executive,
giving good, hard work and being in
close touch with the everyday affairs of
the commonwealth. He has shown him
self to be hard headed and not easily
swerved from the course which his bet.
ter Judgment mapped out for him. He
has not been spectacular governor at
all but has given good account of him
self. Thereby he has seemingly earned
the right to represent the state in a
wider field Of activity, like the Senate,
Incidentally, Vermont people take mild
interest inasmuch as Governor Reyes
was born on the western bank Of the
Connecticut river, although New Hamp-
shire people are won't to minimize Yer

The action Of the board Of trustees of
Norwich university in changing the sta
tus of the university from unit of the
reserve officers training corps to that
of students army training corps brings
about rather important changes in the
status of the young men who enter that
institution. Those above the age of is
years who meet the physical require
ments of the United States army may
be indicted voluntarily into the corps,
following, of course, registration under
the draft. Having indicted into the

the university and the war department

Those members of the corps who prove
themselves proficient may be sent by

action of the trustees Of Norwich in
changing over to the students army
training corps will have far.reaching in
