English troops retired from Armenti- eres in orderly ranks and most deliberate

 terday over the wires. Pocketed by the ad- vance on either side the town was too cost ly to hold, considering its strategic import ance And therein lies the entire story and contrast of German and British methods. In fact, here is the most cheering thing about all the bad news of weeks of the Ger man advance and the allied retirements The advance and the allied retirements The allies hold their front lines lightly in order to save men. A determined attack in force supported by heavy artillery fire will always gain against the allies. The Ger mans hold their front lines heavily and will spend men by the thousand rather than give up foot of ground. German pride;
 German pigheadedness, we call it; forbid that the Prussian superman should retire, retreat. Hence in allied attacks but little ground IS gained. The final result of these methods IS plain to any one. German sue cess, in holding ground and in gaining ground IS spectacular; allied success in this particular suffers sadly in comparison But in wastage of manpower the German

Late dispatches from the battle front are the. most serious and disqueting since the German offensive began March 2l. The British have been forced back in the coast sector until they are actually fighting with their back to the wall. They have been driven back only about seven miles, but they cannot give more ground without i'm periling their connection with the French armies to the south and giving up most inn partant coast defenses and railroad june tions. The entire northern British lines will be endangered by further withdrawal here Arras and Messines ridge, success fully defended SO far, will have to be evacu- ated if the drive west of Armentieres con tinues. Distressing indeed is the last news from Marshal Haig. But the British are not beaten yet It simply means we must shut our lips tight and put every ounce in to American effort to place more Ameri- can force into this titanic struggle. If Foch has strategic reserve of 600,000 men he will never have better chance to use them to advantage than right now in that sector west of Armentieres.

A WAR PICTURE.

Washington Times)
 One war picture an actual photograph should be enlarged to life size and put up on every dead wall in Germany now.
 Eventually the German nation, having conquered freedom in getting rid of the HohenzolIern brute family, will make that picture conspicuous.
 It shows blind German soldiers, led by woman, going out into the fields to labor.
 The line under the picture says, Even those blinded by war in Germany must work.
 The miserable creatures, forever sight less, are led to their spot in the field by the woman and told dig here, and walk slowly forward, digging as you go.
 It is photograph of a few Germans about twenty-five, blind, in group. It is also photograph of the entire German na- ton as it was when this war began.
 As the girl in the photograph leads the blind soldiers into the fields to dig, so the kaiser in that other picture of the wars beginning, led the blind German nation IN TO THE FIELDS TO MURDER.
 He put each man in his place and said, KILL HERE, and walk forward, killing as you walk.
 They obeyed Millions of them are dead, other millions are wounded, and thousands are blind-but not one more blind than the German nation that with seeing eyes look ed at the brutal kaiser in adoration, and obeyed his orders to murder for his glory.

Never during the war, not even at Yer dun, have the French fought better than they are fighting now. When the Poilus came forward at the southern end of the line they halted the Prussian in his tracks. Taking over nearly half of the battle line, the French troops, outnumbered and call ing upon none of their strategic reserve, have held everywhere excepting for slight withdrawals in local sectors and have in counter attacks, outfought and driven back the pick of the Prussian guards and shock troops and Brandenburgers It will be noted from the dispatches that the German offensive south of Montdidier, storm cen ter during the later part of the great effort, has languished for the past week. French artillery claimed dreadful toll during the last effort of the German to break through to the south. The more closely and thought fully one considers this mighty conflict and reflects upon the spirit of the stubborn British and glorious French troops after nearly three weeks of battling against odds, the more one is inclined to supreme confi- dence in the ultimate result in spite of the discouraging news from day to day of fierce and intending attacks and German ad- vances. The race Is not always to the swift, or the battle to the strong.

Consider again the Russian situation. Always it gets worse We had just as well face it. The Bolsheviki is right out in the open, no longer Prussian tool and agent, but Prussian friend and ally. The Lenine outfit has protested the landing of allied forces at Vladivistok and threatens to fight them. And yet the allied landing parties are there simply to protect allied war mate rials, sent there with the understanding they were to be used against the Hun. But did the Bolsheviki threaten to fight the Ger man troops who have seized three-fourths of the fairest portions of Russia? Not at all. But mere landing party in far off Siberia arouses the Bolsheviki ire and war spirit to flame Strange? Not at all
 It Is part of the German plan, agreed to by Lenine before he went to Russia with Ger man gold to betray that foolish and unhap- py country to its worse enemies. When, oh. when, will the allies loose the Jap le- gions against this giant, doped by its enc mics and running amuck among its friends9

With three weeks of continuous bad news from the front, America has reused herself like ion All the speeches and messages and appeals from the tongues of men and angels could not have done the good the kaiser's great drive has done in stirring this great nation to her uttermost. Everything has been speeded up since that momentous day of March 2 to velocity the most hopeful would not have dared to predict Men are moving, wheels are turn ing, money is pouring in. Up to March 2l that spirit of terrible earnestness had been lacking. We had, as nation, under estimated our job. We felt that the Ger man, weakened by the blockade and the strain of war, was not match for the French and British alone We did not reckon the full menace of the Russian collapse. Now we know just how dangerous is the blonde beast and how all our might is needed to bring him low. Instead of quailing before the storm, as the Prussian fondly imagines, American force has been multiplied by the pressing danger of the Hun drive upon Paris and the ports along the channel.
