Brief Statement of
the War Situation
Over SOC, 900 United States Soldiers
in France. The Boys Are Keen for
the Fray. This Paper Has Never
Had a Doubt About the Outcome
of the Contest. Great Men on
Duty at Warrington.

There are SO many varying turns
20 the battle line in France that it is
difficult for even the expert who has
map constantly before him to keep
an exact tab on the location Of the
army of the Allies and the horde of
the Huns. The Germans, during the
past 80 days, have lunged against the
Allies with all their force and power.
If they could do anything more than
| they have done, it is poor tribute to
! their military genius and knowledge
of conditions that they have not done
| 1t. They have shown reckless
abandon Of men. They have thrown
their men into the very mouths Of the
cannOns of the Allies as a fireman
would chunk his wood or coal into
a furnace to get up steam or to keep
the machinery going. While the Ger
mans have been sacrificing their men,
the Allies have been taking the very
best care of theirs. The Allies had
rather sacrifice a few miles of terri
tory thanto lose few men. The war
has not made the Allies forget their
love for each other. The Allies have
retreated many times but in doing
so, they have always kept their lines
In tact and have made the Germans
pay the dearest possible price for
whatever seeming temporary advant-
age they have gained. = The best war
authorities say that it Is only a mat
ter of time with the Germans. The
Allies are waiting for Uncle Sans
soldiers. When the boys from Amer
lea. those who keep step to the tune
of Dixie and Yankee Doodle and who
march under the Stars and Stripes,
the greatest, the most beautiful and
the most glorious flag in all the
world, to begin to give the Kaiser's
murderers, the Kaiser's women de-
stroyers and men who have shown an
utter disregard of every civilized
method of warfare, the knock out
drops. The knock out drops are 60
tNg ITO be given the German devils.
This is as sure as fate. This paper
has never for one moment doubted
the outcome of the war. This paper
has never wavered in it's belief that
right would triumph and that wrong
would be dethroned. This paper has

Hellum, the hellian of Germany. Un-
Gle Sam now has more than 100000
men over there-as many men as
there are men, women and children
in six cities the size of Memphis and
they are equipped to fight. Already
the Americans have bested the Ger
mans wherever they have struck them.
Already the Americans have put more
ginger and spirit into all the soldiers
of the Allies. Already the morale of
the whole power of the Allies has been
greatly strengthened by the boys for
the United States. Let nobody get
fainthearted. No government in all
the worlds history has done what
this one has done since war was de-
clared. Great men are in authority
at Washington. They love their
country. They are imbued with an
honest and sincere desire to bring
the war to speedy close and to do
that which is best for all the people.
Rest assured, Americans, that the war
will be won for the Allies and rest
assured that Uncle Sam will do the
biggest part of the winning. Let ev-
everybody put on the true American
armor for theR country. The war is
just. The war was unavoidable. No
good citizen would want his country
to LAY the coward-let all who
would want the cowar1 act shown,
speak out? On tc victory!
