Paris, Sept 21--It is evident that
Hindenburg realizes the menace to
his far-flung fortress beside which
lies the Hun frontier and is thus at
tacking. The allies are meeting the
attacking Prussians midfield in some
of the widest grappes Of the war.
The one big factor which stands
out in the fighting is that the Boches
are not yet licked. For weeks the
general run of the war stories has
been that the Huns have not any
more fight in them but correspond

Robertson of the Railway Engineers
is wearing the Croix -TE Guerre for
ingenuity in utilizing one Of the most
novel weapons of the war.
During the recent German drive an
American unit of engineers was haul
ing ammunition and supplies up to
the French lines. Just as the Ger
mans began to get too near for com
fort, Robertson's huge American To-
comotiye ran off the track. He had
to leave it, But before eyacuating
he screwed down the safety valve
and turned on the oil fuel supply into
the fire box
About 20 minutes later, while GO
Germans were standing around the
engine, it happened.
The boiler blew up with a tremen-
dous roar. So far as the Germans
were concerned it had the same ef-
feet as half dozen well-placed shells.
