Allied Council Warns Against Overconfidence,
Tremendous Task Still Ahead Of Us

part of the general staff corps that
General Foch will follow up the ad-
vantage which he has now gained. 1t
is not revealing military secrets to say
that General Pershing in his dis
patches has plainly given the war de-
partment the impression that the pres
ent drive will not stop at the Vesle
and probably not at the Aisne. Early
last week the statement was made In
these dispatches and made on the
highest authority that the allied plan
was to continue to hold the Initiative.
General Pershing, as the days have
gone by, has repeated this statement
in his reports to the department, and
evidently he fully expects that Gen
eral Foch will keep up the offensive
throughout the summer and fall.
While no one in authority here is' in
clined to make any predictions what
ever, it is a fact that there is some
measure of expectation that the Ger
mans can be driven beyond the French
border before the snow flies. Even ii
this should be done, it is pointed out,
the end of the war would not be in
sight.
The answer Of the United States to
the splendid victory that has been
achieved since this drive began is to
be found in the new man power bill
which went to the congress today. The
enactment of that bill into law will
mean that every ounce of man power
available in this country will be made
available in the war;

The United States Food Admins
ration advises the use of home

they studied the official reports, that they had
been grievously duped and deceived.
Great victories should be made the occasion
of great celebrations, but when permit sensa-
tional papers or rumors transmitted by word OF
mouth and phone to override our good Judgment
we are injuring our own morale and enthusiasm
The logical result Of this is that we cannot ap-
preciate great victory when it is won, and can
not awaken our jaded and overworked enthus-
iasm.
The danger of this reaction became so ap-
parent all over the country last week that our
military leaders at Washington had to implore
US to maintain balanced judgment until the full
extent of the allied success was assured. Jour-
nails that have powerful influence in shaping
public opinion sounded the same warning, and
the mayor of Cincinnati, where number of pre-
mature celebrations based on incomplete reports
had been held, issued an order prohibiting the
ringing of bells and the blowing of whistles until
he gave official permission.
Citizens of Richmond will recall some of the
wild rumors that swept through this community
ten days ago, the most absurd at that time being
the story of the fall of Scissors and the capture
Of 100000 Germans.
The Brooklyn Eagle quotes the expression Of
an intelligent American who had been duped by
this and other exaggerated reports:
1--WE were told in the heart of the Adiron-
daks," said the Brooklyn man, "that the Ameri-
cans had captured $4,000 prisoners, whereas the
captures at that time were only about 10000.
The tale grew from village to village and when
we reached the Catskils we found one town
where the enthusiastic natives had been parad-
ing with a band all night, celebrating the sup
posed capture of Scissors with several hundred
thousand prisoners. This was all due to the i'm
preston created by sensational newspapers with
misleading headlines. In these days it is special
ly important that war news be treated conserv-
atively, so that we may not experience loss Of
morale through disappointment over good news
which turns out to be grossly exaggerated"
The concluding sentence of the Brooklyn
mans statement expresses the true attitude Of
good Americans We are proud of and thankful
for the great deeds of our boys and our allies.
Our heart thrills with pride. All of US say,
Keep it up" The events of the last three weeks
need no exaggeraton. They are great enough
as they stand.

YANk ENGINEERS
START WORK TO
RESTORE LINES
(By Associated Press)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, Aug
6.-Before evacuating Saponay, the
Germans desperately endeavored to
remove several locomotives and rail
way cars which. finally, they were
| compelled to leave behind. The French
and American heavy guns previously
had severed the railway running north
| from Saponay, and the Germans were
| unable to make repairs, owing to the
continued shelling.
Saponay and the district extending
/ to Fere-en-Tardenois form an import
ant railway center, OF which the Ger
mans made much use until the allied
guns cut tie line. When the French
entered Saponay on Friday. they
found two locomotives which the Ger
| mans had attempted to destroy when
they discovered that the railroad had
been severed. The railroad yards also
had been damaged by German explo-
stveS.
American Engineers There.
| Friday was the first day Fere-en
Tardenois was not under the Ger
man artillery since the Germans evac-
uated the village. The French and
| Americans already have started to re-
! store the shell swept village. A group
of American engineers under lieuten-
! ant from North Carolina today worked
side by side with French engineers re-
pairing the roads and streets, and
other attachments were busy burytng
| the German dead.
Previous to evacuating Fere-En.Tar-
denois. the Germans destroyed virtual
! ly everything which could be made
use of, including mirrors, beds and
furniture. There was not a single
house which had not been shelled or
dynamited. Most of the stone houses
are mere shells, with gaping holes In
the roofs and sides. Some houses
were totally demolished, and the
church steeple and the cobblestones Of
the streets.

The trees in the village square were
twisted as if by cyclone by the fare

A large sign in German at the en-
trance of the church reads:

Down the street a German sign,
stretched across the roadway, reads:
Captured arms and loot must be
stored here"
The sign bears hand pointing to
where a house once stood. This build
ing now is a mass of ruins, the result

Checkmating Frightfulness


When Germany put into effect it's policy of
frightfuness, it applies it with exacting eff
cheney to every phase Of the war, not overlooking
even the prisoners. To break their spirit and
undermine their morale the Most High resorted
to prosecutions that have not been rivalled since
the days Of the inquistion.
In last weeks issue of the Saturday Evening
Post is to be found an article that exhaustively
treats of the methods employed by the Berlin
gang. 1t not only gives in detail the methods Of
torture, but also tells how the French outwitted
their opponents and again proved that German
psychology is nearsighted. The author illus
trates one phase as follows:
After reading various reports of the French
government containing accounts of the visits to
German prison camps of inspectors, dispositions
by neutral delegates, affidavits of distinguished
physicians captured in battle, and numberless
records of private soldiers collected by the state
! was granted an interview with French officer,
an escaped prisoner, who had been in the parade
camps the reprisal and the labor camps.
When questioned him concerning the depres-
sion, the sadness, the cafard which l felt must
exist in those smaller Gehennas of brutal forced
labor, he surprised me by replying quickly: "Not
at all We were not sad. The splendid morale
tried, indeed, to break our spirit-but we were
too much for them. We sang, we invented games
and we were constantly playing tricks on them -
He laughed at the memory of Of those
tricks. "Once in reprisal camp of several hun
dred Frenchmen they assembled us all-you
know about reprisal camp-that they treat you
brutally on purpose?'
EYES,"
"They do that not only to get even with us
for alleged mstreatment of their German prison
ers, but also, and even more, to break the spirit
of our people at home to spread Encouragement
and peace propaganda Well they assembled us,
and they told us to write home freely concerning
brutalities, rigorous work hours, disciplinary
measures and lack of food. They promised us
not to censor a single word. We might give our
smile.
yes? And what then?"
Simply this: Of those several hundred
Frenchmen of all stations and degrees, not one
wrote home a single word of complaint! The
letters something like this: This is a pretty
good place. The food is not bad. They treat us
very well. The work is all right. We have no
complaint to make of this camp How enraged
they were when they read that first bunch of
correspondence! And for an entire month all the
letters were censored and destroyed, not because
they were so bad but because they were so good
That's what they got for trying to break the
spirit of our women at home"

Baccalaureate Sermon For
Wesley College Delivered
at M. e. Church.

DR.. X. r. stok delivered the bac-
calaureate sermon for Wesley College
SUNDAY morning at the Methodist
church. He chose as his text the
words of st. Paul, THE Kingdom Of
God is lot meat and drink. but
Righteousness. and peace and JOY In
the Holy Spirit" His theme was The
Nature of the Kingdom DIR. Stolz
said in part:
'F'rom the beginning to the end of
his life Jesus lived in the conscious
ness that it was his unique mission to
proclaim a kingdom. to found a king
dom, to extend the borders Of a king
DOM. He was not primarily a teach
er, but the founder of a social order
in which righteousness, peace n joy
are to abound.
THE kingdom Of God is not a mere
economic order. Just as a univers-
ity is not a library and a laboratory,
just al a church Is not a building and
a treasury. so the kingdom is not
barter and trade, machinery n Or
ganization, skyscrapers and big busi-
ness. The physical equipment of So
ciety is but a means to the moral and
spiritual ends of humanity.
1.-The righteousness of the kingdom
is essentially social in meaning and
application. The anti-social person
has neither lot nor part in the present
struggle for social democracy, the law
of the jungle and the principle of the
Kingdom. is coming to a climax on the
battlefelds Of France. We do not
doubt the Anal outcome. AS light is
stron ger than darkness, knowledge
stronger than ignorance, the power Of
iniqui ty in Jul international life will
be broken and righteousness will
finally cover the earth rs the waters
cover he sea.
Now peace and Joy are twin sisters.
and the daughters of righteousness.
Where there is righteousness there is
peace and joy. Peace is an achieve
ment, it is the product of moral VIC
toy in ,the individual Inc in society.
