Then want to show a picture.

OF a little Belgian youn'un
An her granny, old an gray.

Then a new song woke within me,
A refrain ! can't forget;
"We1l all 80 broke il we hat t.

None of us Is facin' hunger,
None need fear to seek his bed
Lest demon in Gotha

is SECOND VERDUN
Irwin Sees Victory for Allies in
New German Drive.
Reported Success of Hun Arms
Only Preliminary Events.
BY WILL IRWIN.

Washington, March 25.-Nothing in
the west front situation warrants
pessimism or depression, and America
and her allies should guard against
these feelings which sap morale.
Among some classes in the allied
countries at the time of Verdun, Ypres
and other offensives. there was a de-
preston verging on panic, yet in all
cases the offensive turned out as allied
victories.
In the Verdun offensive, the Ger
mans gained six miles in the first few
hours and took $4,000 prisoners. Yet
the French won at Verdun.
I hear much said of the 10000 pris-
oners already taken in this offensive.
Yet, all must remember that this Of
fensive is much larger than the YER
dun, and that .he German. success is
not proportionately SO great as at Yer
dun. And the larger the action the
larger the loss in prisoners.
Even if in the new few days we see
what appears to be an alarming adj
vance. we should not lose confidence.
In this campaign 1 will point out that
before the Marine when 1 was in Bel
GUM we kept hearing of a twenty
mile-a-day advance toward Paris
which looked like a practice march.
We now know that the French were
Paris only to turn them back at the
Marine.
This movement now would appear
to me to be a maneuver to get the
German out in the open where they
want him. He is good on machinery,
but when the machinery breaks down
or goes wrong, he fails. The French
man, on the other hand, has genius.
Open fighting gives an opportunity for
genius and originality.
Turning Point Is Near.
The turning point of the great west
front battle is near, officers here be-
lieve.
The British are holding them
now" one of the highest ranking
but further local gains by the Ger
mans may be expected. A compari-
son of both enemy and British official
statements today convinceS me that
the allied cause is not in great peril
and I see no reason for pessimism.
1T may be quite possible that
United States troops will be in action
soon. but L hardly believe they are
included in the army of maneuver
under the direction of the supreme
war council 1t does not appear that
the situation has warranted the use
of any part of that force.
so If American troops have beer
engaged on the part of the from
where the attack is conferred, they
probably were engineers OF some uni
undergoing training with the British
When the enemy advance has beer
brought to a definite halt, officers here
look for the employment of the allie6
army of maneuver in a counter often
sive. The action may not be far off
they say.
Such move would have the chance
of catching the enemy off balance
and result in the quick notification OF
gains already made. it is believed

the Jews were mostly ignorant. Soon
nearly every Jew found he had broken
some kind of regulation and was glad
to be allowed to pay a fine in lieu of
imprisonment. Then, as the Jews are
ally poor. they found their scanty
stock of this worlds goods being sold
by auction to German buyers. Thou
sands of families sold their clothes
and bedding to the last pillow. The
proceeds were still insufficient and the
German authorities hit upon the idea
of making the communities RESPONSE
BILE for the additional fines. This also
proved unavailing for the communl
ties turned ort to be as poor as the
individual Jews
