THE MELTING POT DOES MELT.

Tribute should be paid to the fine loyalty and
fighting ability of the American soldiers OF Ger
man descent. There is one division in France
lin which more than half the men had grand
parents born in Germany, and its record for gal
lilantry against the enemy is second to none on
The battle front. These men are Americans, true
land tried, and their Amerlcanlsm must be a
body blow to the kaiser and his ministers inns
lis the stuff which Germany proposed to use 10
dominate this nation, to keep 1t neutral IN
formal status but friendly to Germany. to serve
lin time in molding its policies to tit with the
~ great plan'' No failure of Germany has been
so complete and so disastrous as her failure to
understand that the second and third genera
tons of her emigrants to this country are IN
Overwhelming majority Americans. 1t may
well be that these same Americans, when they
have done their part finely in whipping mill
tarist Germany, will be the best help that
country can find in her hard climb to a restored
place among decent nations.
And what about the scoffers here and else
where who said the melting pot did not melt?
Here is list of names of American soldiers
cited for bravery which is taken from one OF
General Pershings recent communicates: Ham,
Christmas Janowski, Costumes, Gardello,
iTobin, Kuehman, Shaminski, Kaiser and Kauf-
man. These ten names tell the story of their
owners origin and the record attached to each
of them tells the story of splendid loyalty to a
soldiers duty to his nation. There is unques-
|tionably in certain large cities an element OF
foreign born which has not been fused into the
great body of American citizenship. Because
it inhabits metropolitan communities it attracts
the attention of lot of people and of the press;
thus it gets publicity. But the full tide Of our
citizenship has swept it out of influence, out of
Ipublic notice, out Of significance.

WHEN VICTORY WILL COME.

Brooklyn Eagle: While we have
been watching the swaying linden
burg line and waiting for 1t to break,
Marshal Foch has been trying to
break the German army instead of
the Hindenburg line. His objective
is not Berlin or the Rhine, but the
remaining organized forces of the
Germans. When they are defeated we
will have victory, not when the Hin
denburg line Is broken or the Rhine
crossed, If either takes place before
the enemy Is smashed. For this reason
II Is better to count up prisoners ard
guns taken and German divisions de-
cess by ground gained, be it ever so
impressive.
An important thing to know is the
attitude Of the German high command.
We may be sure the German nlilitar.
lists have no liking for a long
losing campaign on German soil.
If a decision must be reached
it would be better for them to
fight in Belgium and France. Any
military advantage to be gained by
retreating behind the German from
tier would be offset by the moral eff
feet. For this reason we find that the
Germans have decided to win or lose
the war in Belgium and France. II
this is their plan, Foch is in a posi-
ton to bring on the decisive battle in
the near future and is in a much more
favorable position for winning it in
q short time than he would be if a
great retreat should take place this
year.

HASTE MAY MAKE WASTE.

Nathan A. Smyth, assistant director general
of the federal employment service is mailing
to all community labor boards instruction to
prepare and publish lists of non-e essential posi-
tons now held by men and that might be held
by women. The government intends to force
the hands of the employers of man labor and to
brand workers in non-essential industries as
siackers. This is, of course, in line with
General Crowder's 'worz or fight order. but
apparently it widens the scope of that order.
Mr.. Smyth instructs local boards to insist that
no man shall occupy position a woman can
fill
Probably there is a reason for the govern
ment,s allegation that employers of non essen.
ton labor are not cooperating as it had benr
hoped they would. And the need of workers IN
war industries is known to be great and 70 he

WAIT AND SEE.'

Napoleon would not select Of many
words, Of much talk, TO accomplish notable
achievement Voluminous talk does not seem
to hitch well to difficult achievements.
There are three words uttered during the
present war that should go down in history.
They were uttered by General Foch. When the
war news was depressing, when the German
army had driven the allies down near the chan
mel coast line and within Smelling distance OF
Paris some one asked General F'och what the
prospects were. Here rs the generals reply:
''Wait and see"
These are great words uttered by brave
man during a crisis in the history Of the world.
They should not he forgotten.

of all kinds, attendants, to Immediately seek
essential work.
But this labor shift ought to be managed SO
that there is no waste in non-employment ana
no hardship entailed ON dependents OF workers
1t is well enough to turn clerk INTO war
producer: but before he is branded as Stacker
and turned from his present position, WORK that
he can do with wage enough to keep MS de-
pendents in comfort ought to be ready for hlh-
Moreover. the labor shift ought in justice to be
so managed that legitimate business is not
crippled. There are many cases-perhaps III

more important labor and where women can ana
will readily take their places. But there are
also many cases where some care will be neces-
sary to make a shift valuable to the government
and to safeguard all the interests entailed IN It.
The government is careful in its soldier drafts;
it should be equally SO in its shifting OF labor.

Somebody scofed: "Oh you'll do that

And the first thing he knew he'd begun it,
With his chin and bit OF grin,
Without any doubling quiddit;
He started to sing he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did 1T.
There are thousands tell you it be done;
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
