1.-THE Boche Turned Tail"

IT may be many days before the real story
1 or the American dash against tie Ger
man lines on the Aisne is given to the Ameli-
can people, but it is not too soon for those
OF us at home to feel genuine pride swell
in our breasts. 1t is not too soon for us 10
let out shout OF sincere admiration for the
manner in which these boys have emula,ed
the achievements Of their comrades at Mont
didier on the Marine in Beleau wood and
elsewhere along the great battle line
Nor can we suppress d smile OF wholesome
eiaton when the cables fash the news TO us
that the enemy, for four long years held up
TO us as supermen as invincible fighters as
uncomfortable foemen, turned upon their
heels and ran like turkeys when the clear
eyed, dauntless Americans. charged their
trenches, stormed their positions and with
the cold steel in their hands and schoolboy's
shout in their Threats, closed in upon the
German defenders
One officer reporting to his American com
mander i'll the rear, had time merely to an
nounce that the enemy turned tail and ran
like hell" But that enough This Of
hcer did not need to elaborate He did not
need to calculate upon the wording Of his
report. He said just exactly what was in
his mind and he said it in language which
his snperiors quite understood and which all
Americans understand.
We "oHueE what the superior nigh
mand OF the German army will think when
IT hears this story. And the story will be
tod TO old Ludepdorff. 1t may be told in diff
!ereht language. 1t may be apologize in
tone, but it will admit that retreat was
the answer which the invincible Germans
gave to the onrushing Americans 1t will
confess that these highly trained these mag
hihcenuy disciplined Huns took to the tall
umbers when the advancing Americans
s'alhpeded into their ranks like a verita BILE
cyclone. There doubtless will be some set
ting OF German jaws. Some court-martial
orders may go down the line Some firing
squads may march out with cowardly Ger
man soldiers stalking before them
Whether this happens or not there will be
revision of judgment at the German general
headquarters as to the sort of enemy tbe
American makes. There will be less derision
( OF the newcomers in the scrvilc German ne VS.
! papers. There will be less discouniine and
aiScreditng OF the strength of the military
/ force which the United States has sent across
/ the Atlantic in defiance OF submarines and
/ every other barrier. a very large measure
! OF respect will be entertained Cor these fresh
! men IN the minds OF the German commanders
! OF that there can be no doubt

Another Experiment Launched

wv HEN President Wilson issued his proc
w lamation taking in the name of
the government the entire domestic wire SER
vice of the United States, he gave the Ameri-
can people another opportunity TO test out
Il policy that has long been urged upon Con
gross and the country. This is consdera-
ton entirely aside from the war necessity
which prompted the President to exercise the
power which Congress placed in his hands
only few days ago. OF this necessity the
Presidents Judgment must be accepted with
out debate He feels that the wire services
must he taken over to protect national in
terests. and has acted in that direction.
The experience which will be gained by
this move will be of enormous value to the
country in determining whether not sys-
TEN invoked in time of war is aucccssful
enough to perpetuatc This likewise is true
Of the government railroad operation, OF
nation-w wide prohibition and OF other policies
which have been put into operation to meet
emergencies.
The plans OF the committee named by the
PostmasterGeneral to manage The great
properties now under Federal control have
not been unfolded. This committee doubtless
knows more about the business now in its
hands than any other three able public Of
icias, and will have 10 consult with the
owners OF the telephone and telegraph COM
panies. with the abor representatives and
with all other interests concerned. before it
adopts a program.
1t may be assumed in advance that COM
petitivc conditions will be suspended for the
period OF government control, and in sus-
pending them all facilities must be merged
and all traffic pooled just as happened in
The OF the railroads. Otherwise there
can be no test OF government control and no
guide for the people, who must decide at
the end of the whether this control is
to become permanent through government
ownership OF the physical properties
fair chance will be given the Post
master-General and his associates to demon
strate the merit of the theories they have
long advocated. They have contended Cor
many years that all means of intercommun-
cation should be conferred in the postal sys-
TEN. They have argued that the success of
the postal service which is legal govern
ment monopoly, can be duplicated in the mat
ter of wire comm nication. This conviction
is not partisan 1t was a Republican Post
master>General who first made the proposal
and d Republican President who frs, laid i,
before Congress.
The people Of the whole country will
watch the experiment nov undertaken with
absorbing interest If telegraph and tele-
phone service is improved and chea pencd bv
government control, as is promised by Mr.
Burleson, then the country will give its con
sent TO government ownership.
