the part of Germany to bring the Russian provinces under its control. As in the exaction of large sums from the portions of Russia which has been included under the Brest- -LAtpvsk treaty this move will probably be ex- plained as the result of the inyal- uable assistance which has been re- eeiFed from Germany.
 For a long time 1t has been realized that the government in Finland has been under German control. What is done there is done at the direction of officials who are under the direction of Berlin authorities. There have been instances where this has not met with the approval of the Finnish peo- ple, for many of the Films have come to know what assistance has been given to them in the way of foodstuffs by the allies and are not disposed to kill the goose that lays the golden egg especially when there Is no big toll exacted for the help given. Thus there are reasons to believe that all Finland will not accept Germany s plan or at least will not do so pas sively Germany's scheme is plain but the Finnish people are likely to have something to say about being thrown into the war as cobeHigerents with | the Germans

A CONTRAST IN MORALE.

Marked is the contrast at the pres ent time between the spirit which !s being displayed among the allied ar mics on the western front and that which Is to be found among the Teu- tonic forces. It IS a noticeable fact that The German officers. according to documents which have been found, a-c continually exhorting their men Co put forth their best efforts and or dering the use of harsh methods wherever it Is found that there Is an unwil'ingness to fight. This is sub stantiated by the statements of pris- cners. by the assertions, by the way lH which the Teutons are being called apon to deal with mutlnous troops, by he placing or trusted soldiers back of certain Austrian units 10 force them to fight and prevent them from dssertins and by the general war weariness which Is being manifested in the German lines.
 Nothing Of the Kind i- being ex- nsrienced among the allied armies. They are heart anu soul in the fray. putting forth their best energies and
 
 tended their efforts since the German offensive was checked and the initia tive vas taken by General Foch. That the spirit Of the Americans has had much to do with this cannot be ques- tioned. They have brought new life and determination to the battlefield and this was no better displayed than along the front at Chateau Thierry vixen the American commander de- clared that his men would not agree to a further retreat and it was the stand which they made that saved Paris
 The morale of the allied troops to- day was never better and when thi. Ia considered in connection with tho broken spirit and discouragement shown by the enemy 1t cannot fail tC aave a magnificent effect in the bat. ues which are yet to come.

RIeHr COOPERATION.

There appears to be some ground for the belief that the fuel situation the coming winter will show some improvement over the past. There have been promises made in the months gone by to the effect that such would take place and the prom ;ses have amounted to nothing. If it wasn't one excuse it was another If it could not be attributed to lack of coal production it was lai1 to the in ability to get cars. and vice versa.
 It was only a few days ago that Fuel Administrator Garfield made an optimistic statement to the effect that as the result of the action which had been taken it would be possible to accomplish the desired cad, that the goal would be reached and that the country would be furnished It's fuel for heat and industrial purposes, a matter of vital importance 10 the na- tion as a whole and to the govern ment in the prosecution of the war.
 This is to a degree subsfantiated by the statement of Director General Me Adoo of the railroad lines when he declares that there is not how a short age of coal cars and that cars are being provided faster than they can be loaded. Thus 1t is evident with both the railroads and the fuel admin istration working together for the so- lution of the coal problem the desired results ought to be obtained, Tor il there is sufficient labor at the mines and there are enough cars ready tc haul the coal as produced. and there k motive power sufficient to keep tht trains in motion. the shortage of las1 winter should be eliminated. Those | charged with this responsibility ap. pear to be confident and the country certainly hopes that 1t is well founded
 It indicates that the right cooperation is being shown at last.

the use of motor vehicles for pleas ure on Sundays until further notice. IL was estimated that four million car owners east of the Mississippi would be affected. Sunday the streets were more quiet than they had been for years and millions of gallons of gasoline were saved. How did the Fuel Adm : stration bring this about? Solely through the CO., operation of the daily newspapers. Without it they could never have reached yso many ear owners in so short time and at so little expense. The newspapers received not cent for their work.
 This is, only one example of many which might be given to prove tha> the government needs the newspa-
 pers to aid in carrying out war measures. But the newspapers can not exist without a certain number of trained men to prepare and circu- late them. The time is near at hand

 Poor women folk!" her aunt sighed Its rough on them"
 Its easier on them than it is on the boys lots of times,o her niece sputtered. its no circus to leave home, even if they are splendid enough to make believe 1t is, and then after they get all screwed up to joke and sing and laugh along comes a weeping around one of the joiiiest and groans because she'll never see him again.
 For goodness sake. He's only going to Rockford and she'll probably see him a million times, because hell live to be about 19a. He doesn't stop to figure it out. however and in just a minute he's all shaky round the lips and as white as sheet

STORIES OF THE WAR

 London Times.
American Army. July 30.


 American Army. July 30.
 There has again been very heavy fighting in the regions of Seringes and Sergy today. The Germans have mounted in pits a number of machine guns all along the ridges and in the grain fields on the other side of the Ourcq. Backed hy ri7emen and artfi- lery, they are offering most stub- horn defense, and the day has been marked by much hand to hand fight ing, in which the bayonet has played prominent part.
 The enemy destroyed all the bridges across the Ourcq, and has also mined roads. Two such mines failed to ex- nlode.
 It is very evident from what has happened today in one of the heaviest enga gements in which the Americans have yet participated that the Ger mans are determined not to yield with out desperate struggle. but they have suffered very severe losses and prisoners report companies reduced to seven and thirty men.
 July 3f.-No man can contemplate the vigor and heroisn with which the Americans have fought at every stage of the battle without profound admifa- tion. And if bravery were the only test for winning our affections. then the Americans merit the highest pos : sible esteem.
 | But it is not bravery alone which | has given the Americans during the l last ten days their repeated successes l Fiercely as they fight, they neverthe | less fight intelligently and profita bly,.
 There are units which have had more experience of battle than others but when battalions which have man ned quiet sectors are thrown into the furnace they fight as well as theil more experienced comrades. There is 1 one unit here which since the German | offensive began has, fighting at two ot the most important points of the line won undying renown. It had previ | ously experienced only trench raid. and gas attacks. During the last ter days it has helped to slaughter tht Fourth Prussian guard. Such al achievement gives 8 vivid indication O the fighting value of Americans Ant almost daily such men are arrivin; from the United States.

It was plaii that the guard division had been bit terly chagrined by the loss of Serg, on the previous evening. after havini four times retaken it, and it came a no surprise when. shortly after dawn they launched a fresh attack, debouch ing from both sides of the southern most angle of the Forest of Nesles.
 The attack was backed by the fire o field guns with ragged barrage el our second line and batteries from tn 105s and 1908, the enemy's gun DO sitions above Cierges being well place for a f1anking fire. which the holder Of Sergy found most trying.
