Blow Struck By Pershing' S
Army Hits Germans In
Vulnerable Spot
By Ed L. Keen.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, Sept. 13.-Battered in from
the south and west by the Americans
in their first great offensive, the st.
Mihiel salient is undoubtedly doomed.
The only question is whether the Ger
mans can get out their garrison in
time to prevent its capture.
This sali@nt was one of the strongest
and most vital points on the who .
front-the Germans had been fortify
ing it for years. Today the situation
is similar to that which existed in the
Soissons-Rheims pocket, except that
now the Americans and French are
pinching off the salient, working at a
double quick pace. 1t is not believed
Pcrshing's objective is more than the
capture of the pocket, which is nearly
completed.
With this operation developing so VIC
toriously, however, there is a great
likelihood of further American action in
the Woevre.
The allied advance on the Metz front
is vitally important. 1t brings Briey
(thc great mining basin of France) un-
der the fire of long range guns.
London morning papers pay high tri-
butte to the Americans, giving the story
of their offensive prominence over Pre-.

ient Another Of FOch's
Famous Squeeze Plays

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The iron re
gion around Metz is the objective Of the
American drive, according to the i'm.
preston house military committee mem
bers say they gain from their war de-
partment conference today.
They said they were shown maps out
lining the general progress and direc-
tion of the United States thrust, but
were not informed of any fresh military
developments
-. They said Metz appeared about 20
miles from the American line. General
March was absent from the session and
a subordinate took his place.
Committee members said afterwards
their recollection of airplane figures
that this country now has thirty-three
distinctly American air squadrons oper-
ating on the front.
French and American observers made
a very careful study of the St. Mihiel
salient for long time before the drive.
The inaction of the American forces in
that region under orders were SO mark
ed that the Germans were entirely &c.
luded.
It was so planned taht the curtain
raiser of the American offensive should
move precisely and forcefully.
The plans for the Americans were
well concealed, even though the allied
time to time of an American smash in
Lorraine.
Information here indicates that Aus
trians held the salient. This Is further
indication Of the erman unpreparedness
for a real offensive.
The front attacked yesterday was
completely short, hence the 5000 prison
ers reported last night constitute ire
mendously large haul. The number Of
Germans killed must have been much
greater.
The German has kept his line in posi-
tion to avoid artillery In the Metz re-
gion
Americans foresaw today the chance
of absolutely locking the st. Mihiel sa-
lient, particularly if London reports are
true concerning the narrowing of the
neck to six miles.
The iron region around Metz is the
American objective. This forms the
foundation for the erman Industrial sys-

TO finance NATION
Contend Exemption Of Liberty
Bonds From Taxation viii
Foster Class.
By L. E. Martin

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 1S.-Fostered by
fear of creating in the United States a
bond holding class, opposition is
breaking in the senate to the bill See.
retary MeAdoo has asked congress tt
pass, exempting from toxation the in.
terest on Liberty bonds
While the house is expected to pass
the measure quickly and with scarcely
any opposition, it may be tied up in
the senate so long as to cause buyers
of liberty loan some uncertainty as to
whether the interest on the bonds will
be taxed or not.
The measure is designed to help bond
sales. But opposing senators pointed
out today that it would not affect the
hundreds of thousands of Americans
who buy one or two bonds. 1t is an in
ducement to the man of means, to
whom the government looks for large
bond purchases
While no senator wants to impede
or hurt the liberty loan, some believe
the exemption bill is not necessary to
insure success of the loan. They de-
clare it just gives the rich an oppor-
tunity to stock up on tax free secur-
tiles, while the workers must pay the
tax on the interest on the bonds.
Allied military successes and the
general feeling that the war is going
well and that by putting forth max,
imum efforts now America can bring
victory, should and will be enough to
make the loan a success, these senators
assert.
The house took up the bond with
expectation of passing it today.
The report Of the house ways and
means committee in favor of the meas
ure was unanimous and urged the pas
sage of the bill as an aid to the sue
cess of the coming liberty loan cam
paign.
Immediately following the passage
of the bond bill, reading of the $S,000,-
100000 revenue bill for amendments
will begin, with probability that the
measure will get through the lower
body by the middle of next week.
Notwithstanding the administration $
request for speed on the tax bill, house
leaders have allowed the last two days
to be taken up With long partisan pol
itical speeches on both sides. Out of
a dozen speakers yesterday only three
made any mention of the revenue bill

mer salient from it. At this point the
original pocket was about 90 miles

1T is A WAR FOR HUMANITY

War, in good cause, is not the
greatest evil which a nation can suf-
fer. War is an ugly thing. but not
the ugliest of things; the decayed and
degraded state of moral and patriotic
feeling which thinks nothing worth
war is worse. When a people are
used as mere human instruments for
firing cannon or thrusting bayonets,
in the service for the selfish purposes
of a master, such war degrades peo-
pie. A war to protect other human
beings against tyrannical injustice;
u war to give victory to their own
ideas of right and good. and which is
their own war, carried on for an hon.
est purpose by their free choice, is
often the means of their regenera-

ton. A man who has nothing which
he is willing to fight for, nothing
which he cares more about than he
does about his personal safety, is a
miserable creature, who has no chance
of being free, unless made and kept
so by the exertions of better men than
himself. As long as justice and in
justice have not terminated their
ever-renewing fight for ascendency in
the affairs of mankind, human beings
must be willing, when need is. to do
battle for the one against the other

HOW TO DESTROY BAD ORGANIZATIONS
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE-

From time to time certain kinds of
people organize societies for the eN-
termination Of other societies which
have for their object the securing of
better conditions for the workers.
Now it is perfectly legitimate for
the objectors to disagree with the eX-
ponents of particular social theories or
social programs. And those who have
formed the society to be "eNtermi-
mated" no doubt have the same right
to their personal convictions, espe-
cially in this country.
But on general principles, it is
mighty poor policy TO organize any
society upon a merely negative basis.
1t is far better to work constructively.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-04-13

In any event, if a group of persons
is opposed to the program of par
ticular organization, the best way to
make that organization non-effective
is either to eliminate the causes which
give rise to the formation of the or
ganization in question, or, to advo-
cate program or a system which will
more effectively bring about the con-
ditions which are to be desired.
The best way to destroy the evils
in any situation is to pour in so much
good that there will be no room for
the bad A vacuum is always abhor-
rent Men do not ordinarily become
enthusiastic on negatives. They de-
sire the positive note and the con-
structive policy.

The American Brewers Review for
March says: "A very large percent
age of the barley appearing on the
market at present is being purchased
by millers for the manufacture of
-four to be used in the making of
bread. The present high price of bar
ley is a result of the most persistent
buying by the millers. Every bushel
of barley coming on the market be-
tween now and August or September
will be needed by the millers."
Barley -four makes excellent bread
and barley mush is a splendid break

barley that is being rotted to make
beer. The following recipes are Of
