AMERICANS HIGHLY PRAISED

Paris, France, July 30.-American
soldiers in the fighting on the Marne
salient showed themselves equal to
the dash of the French troops, de-
clared Andre Tardieu, French high
commissioner to the United States, at
dinner in his honor last night at
the American University Union.
THE first great battle in which
your own troops have participated eX-
tensively has been great victory"
Capt. Tardieu said. "The soldiers of
the American division, which on the
morning of July 2S, gained six klom-
eters have shown themselves to he
equal TO the best French troops.
Every one at the front, including
the enemy, knows well what the
American army is worth, and what
new power will be let loose in the
course of the next few weeks under
the folds of the Star Spangled Ban
ner."
During the night the Germans kept
up their unsuccessful counter attacks
in an effort to find hole somewhere
in the American lines. They continued
the same hopeless task today.
On other parts of the line the most
noteworthy allied advance was the
accomplishment of the French in cap
turing Romigny, on the easterly side
Of the salient.

CANADIAN HIGHLANDER TOLD
GRAPHIC STORY OF THE WAR

Private w. f.. Collinge, of the Cana
dian Iiighlanders, who was wounded
and lost his right arm in battle along
the Western front, was here Monday
and spoke that night before large
audience at the H-H Theatre. His ac-
count was that which he had seen and
not that which he had heard. He held
the audience Spell-bound for more than
an hour relating incidents from the
time he entered she army until his
discharge. 1t was German Gomb
that tore away his arm and put out
his right eye, but Collinge made many
good Hun during his service. He
told of the dastardly deeds perpetrated
on the women and young girls of Bel
gium and France. Those who heard
Collinge are more determined than ev-
er to do their part and help put the
Huns where they belong.

ALLIES REST AFTER
DRIVING HUNS FROM
OURCQ RIVER BANK

The war situation of Wednesday is
summarized by the Associated Press
as follows:
Whether as result of weariness af-
ter two weeks of incessant fighting or
because of the greatly increased power
in superior numbers and the position
of the enemy forces, the allied armies
on the Scissors Rheims front have no
ticeably decreased their efforts to clear
the salient.
IL the pause in the offensive is at
tributable to wearness, the armies Of
the German Crown Prince also must
be worn out for despite reinforcements
they have lacked hardness to throw
back their antagonists.
The fourteenth day of the great al
lied offensive saw little activity on the
part of either of the contending forces
except in the nature of reciprocal
bombardments.
Tuesday night witnessed violent at
tempts by the Germans to eXpel the
Americans and French from the valu-
able positions they hold north of the
Ourcq in the region of Fere-en- -Tarde-
nois, and along the western side of the
salient near Oulchy-le Chateau where
Scottish troops are holding with the
French the wedge that has been driven
eastward into the enemy line. These
efforts were entirely fruitless.
A watchful eye is being kept by the
Germans on the Americans standing at
the apex of the battle line near Fere-
en-Tardenois, and the enemy are show
ering their positions with great guam
titles of high explosives and gas shells
The enemy also continues jealously to
guard with huge effectives the extreme
eastern and western flanks of the sa-.
lient to ward off possible surprise at
tacks.
The latest Berlin official communi-
cation asserts that more than 1000
prisoners have been taken by the Ger
mans in the last few days and that
since July 10, in excess of 24,000 al
lied troops have been captured.
Whether the Germans have chosen
the spot where ultimately they will
give battle to the allied forces is not
apparent. Great fires behind the lines
possibly might Indicate the destruction
of further villages which it is intend
ed TO evacuate and press on north
ward to chosen battle line.
With the approach of the commence
ment of the fifth year of the war the
German Emperor evidently realizes the
seriousness of the situation. In "a proc
lamation to his army and navy he
tells his men they are facing the hard
est struggle of the war, but they will
be able to foil the desperate efforts
of the enemy"
What may result In aggravating the
already serious situation between Ger
mans and the Ukrainans is the assas-
sination of Field Marshal Won Eich-
horn, the German dictator in the Uk-
rainc. and his adjutant. They We're
killed by the explosion of a bomb said
to have been thrown by native in
Kiev, Russia.

CHAPTER TX.

The Kaisers Plan for World Dominion.
The history of modern Germany is,
perhaps, in itself sufficient Indication
of the underlying plan of the Teuton
war barons to control the whole of
Europe and, eventually, the world. The
program has been slowly unfolding it
self since the time of Frederick the
Great and the present generation is
now witnessing what was intended to
be the climax.
There can be no doubt that If Ger
many had succeeded in her efforts to
gain control of the major part of Eu-
rope she would have soon looked
toward the western hemisphere and
the east
This program is fairly indicated by
the course of events as history lays
them bare, but have the actual word
of the kaiser to substaptiate it.
AT one of his visits 20 me shortly
after the beginning of the war we were
discussing England's participation in
it.
''What hypocrites the English are!"
the kaiser exclaimed.
''They had always treated me so
well when 1 visited them 1 never be-

lieved they would have come into this
war They always acted as if they
liked me. My mother was English,
you know. I always thought the
world was big enough for three of US
and we could keep it for ourselves
that Germany could control the CONT
,neEt of Europe, England, through her
vast possessions and fleet, could con-
troll the Mediterranean and the far
east, and America could dominate the
western hemisphere
How long it would have been before
Germany would have tried TO wrest
dominion from England can readily be
imagined, and with the whole of Eu-
rope and the far east under her thumb
America would undoubtedly have
proved too tempting a morsel for the
kaiser's or his descendants rapacious
NAV to have resisted. He said that
he believed that the world was big
enough for three" he didn't say il
was too big for one.
What was really in his mind, how
ever, is indicated by a passage in an
address he made some twenty-five
years ago, in which. as Rev. DR.. New
ell Dwight Hills has pointed out, he
used these words:
From my childhood have been IN
der the influence of five men-Alexan-
der, julius Caesar, Theodore II, Ma
poleOn and Frederick the Great These
five men dreamed their dream OF
world empire: they failed. am
dreaming my dream of a world empire,
but 1 shall succeed !"
The kaiser's plan to dominate Eu-
rope included the control OF Turkey,
and he made every effort to strengthen
that country so that she might be a
valuable ally in the war TO come.
/ When Italy took Tripoli from Tur-
key before the Balkan war 1 men
toned to the kaiser how OPPORTUNITY
Italy had acted, but the kaiser dis
missed my remark with an exclama-
ton of displeasure, realizing, Of
course, that Turkeys loss was in a
sense his own since he had planned to
make Turkey his yassal.
To that end he had sent German Of
ficers to train the Turkish army and
had supplied them with guns and mu-
nitiOns. With an eye to the future,

When the Balkan war broke out in
1912 the kaiser had great confidence
| that the German-trained Turkish army
would acquit itself creditably and
! that in the outcome of that conflict his
European program would make cOnsid-
cradle progress. He told me that he

THOSE THIN, HARD YANKEES
Been Said They Shall inherit

Recently we sat in q refreshment
room OF a railroad station eonversing
casually with a foreign officer. Sud
denly tail men in olive drab began to
come In by groups to wash up. They
were on their way. The officer, though
he tried to go on talking, couldn't keep
his eyes OF the men, and his responses
became more and more absent as they
continued to crowd in.
MY God :" he exclaimed, s'where
do they come from?"
Then we looked at them Not one
seemed less than six feet tall. They
were a thin, hard, big-hsted, crag-
faced lot Of men, the color of new
bronze, each with two deep lines
around the mouth, gentle with each
other, speaking softly, but certainly
the most formidable German killers
you could find in all the world. We

ularly but for the officers dazed ap,

same kinds and numbers OF other live
stock as did farms without sheep.
Moreover, farms with the sheep had
an average Of 10 more acres OF pas
ture than did farms without the sheep,
warranting the conclusion made by the
specialists that sheep In New England
have not been kept to the exclusion
OF other live stock but have been kept
on farms with large pasture areas TO
utilize the extra pasture available
Though sheep raising as now con-
Quoted on the farms studied is a profit
able business at present prices, there
is much room and great need for the
improvement Of the industry, and the
specialists say that the average grower
could, with better care, make the bust
ness a much more profitable one even
under normal conditions and without
the artificial stimulus to prices given
by the war. By proper care in breed
ing and feeding, the Landing rate
should be increased One-third and the
wool clip Is per cent, which at present
prices would mean an increase in re-
eeiptS OF nearly 50 per sheep.

complete that there would be no peace
table, but that the warning nations
would be compelled TO accept the
terms he offered them, in which event,
knowing the magnanimity of the Ger
man makeup, should say the world
at large would have to be content with
very little.
How the kaiser feels now that the
failure of the U-bOats to intercept
American troop ships must be pain
fuIIy apparent TO him. and America
mas so overwhelmingly overcome the
shortage of shipping, don't know, but
II is more than probable that for some
time TO come the real situation will, at
any rate, be successfully concealed
from the German people. 1 know that
the failure of the U-boat campaign was
unknown to the Germans up to the
time left Berlin-in January. 1918.
While the kaiser and the Germans
generally felt confident that we would
never be able TO send many men
across, they prOfessed to feel little
concern even if we did.
According TO some of the German Of
hcers with whom 1 spoke, even if we
landed 100000 men in France it
would not be enough to break the
deadlock, as the Germans were taking
similar number of trained troops
from the Russian front The only
menace of American participation in
the war lay in the possibility that we
might add considerably to the allied
air strength. Man power alone. they
contended, would never be sufficient to
help the allies much, but overwhelming
superiority in the air might occasion
the Germans some annoyance.
The kaiser himself had but a poor
opinion of the fighting qualities of the
American soldier so far as modern war
requirements are concerned.
The American soldier would pos
sibly give a good account of himself
in open fighting" he declared, but he
is not built for the kind of warfare he
will encounter in France. He lacks
the stOlidity to endure life in the
trenches. He is too high-strung and
couldn't stand the inactive life which
is such an important part of modern
warfare. Besides, he lacks discipline

SHEEP ON SMALL SCALE PAY
European War Has Developed Very

Conditions created by the European

so situated as to take advantage Of
the economic conditions. Prior to the
recent remarkable advance in prices
OF wool and mutton, sheep raising in
New England was comparatively IN
profitable, but now, under certain con-
ditiOns, a revival OF the industry
seems desirable.
In a study made Of sheep raising
in the New England states by special
lists Of the q. S. department OF agrf-
culture 1t was found that this indus
try when conducted on a small scale
was more profitable than dairying.
They therefore recommend that sheep
replace the Improbable COWS and that
the industry be given more attention
in sections unfaTorable for dairying.
Kept in small numbers, sheep do not
replace other kinds Of live stock but
are kept in addition to the regular
quota Of other stock on such farms
as have available pasture.
It was found that regardless Of
whether sheep were kept in conjunc-
ton with dairy or with beef cattle,
farms with sheep have practically the
