Good Head Fighting.

The taking of VauX by the Amer
leans was business like piece of
work, and its prompt and efficient
execution justifies every expecta.
ton we had of the aptitude and
fighting qualities of our troops.
What we will all like about this job
was the application to it of method,
the one thing perhaps we had to
learn, The one thing we had to
fear was that we should 90 at the
enemy in heroic scramble
We don't build skyscrapers or
build subways that way, but there
was some apprehension that we
might, until we learned better, fight
battles that way. The apprehension
may be dismissed The valor and
dash of the American troops have
been seasoned with the necessary
discipline and restraint that 60 to
safeguard the plans of the command
in critical operations The plans
for the occupation of Vhux, which
was held by some four thousand
enemy troops, were carefully made
What look to us like sudden strokes
or victorious rusnes carried out up-
on a moments impulse are usually
results of such calm calculations.
II was so at Vaux Every bullet
has its billet, as the saying is. and
every bullet seems to have found
it in this splendidly executed 0per-
alton. The artillery preparation did

gunner rad the range, aud when
the time came for the infantry ad-
vance the batteries were able 10 re-
port that every house in the village
had been hit. The treeps who went
in behind the barrage knew the ex-
act point to which they we're going,
knew the way there, and knew what
they were going to do when they
got there. Although they were
strangers in Vaux, they knew every
street corner, every house and barn.
every tree clump. declivity and
shelter. They had furnished maps
and had studied them, and no man
IN those advancing columns would
have had to ask a policeman for any
directions whatever
Naturally, Vaux was cleaned up
right. Every cellar was turned in
side out, and positions commanding
the village taken and the Ameri-
can lines established beyond it, The
whole job seems to have been done
quickly and with the precision of an
American made machine operated
by an American machinist who
knew it we'll enough to talk to it.
This is the kind of work Americans
expected of their army as soon as it
looked the ground over and discov-
cred what direction the enemy was
in. 1t appears to have disposed of
these preliminaries and to be ready
for business. Here's to it with its

The report that the Germans are
showing .uneasiness over the fight
ing spirit of the American troops is
no doubt true. That is usually
what an enemy shows after having
had sample of the fighting powers
of Uncle Sans soldier boys.
