Flame Throwing Dangerous

Horror of the Barbarous. Weapon May Be Visit.
cd on Users. .
W. Beach Thomas (London Daily Matl) in Col
lier's Weekly .s.. rf..'
Although have seen British flame throwers
used both in practice and in action, we have
shrunk from their general employment. The best
will carry more than 100 yards, emitting a scar
let flame of great breadth and height, so hot as
to char even stony and grassless surface
But the favorite German flame thrower is
much smaller and is man handled Its range is
short, but 1t has an equally destructive flame.
The instrument has been manufactured in great
quantities, and is now quite common addition
to the soldiers burden The bearer needs an
extra dose Of courage-f he Is hit he is instant
ly calcined-and in the case Of the larger ma
chimes, the effect of shell is much the same as
If a dump were hit.
And the danger begins even earlier than this
in the history Of the flame thrower. I think the
most pitiful of all the letters have read during
the the account given by a German
mother Of how certain girls of their little coun-
try town had been shriveled to cinders owing to
accident in the fire making factory.
Throughout the letter ran, like the motif of
Greek tragedy the continuous note Of terror lest
lawless vengeance prepared against others even
during peace should inevitably devour It's au-
thors. .:'e s,#

H. c. W.: 1t is possible that you
have gastric ulcer, but if so you
should have vomited blood at some
time or the stools, on a properly
conducted examination for blood,
should show its presence from the
liberated surface. 1t would be well
to have this possibility Investigated
somewhat further. If it should APP
pear that you have no ulcer of the
we'll be explained by your chronic
constipation. One very large factor
in the eausatien of constipation is
the fact that our usual diet contains
too small an amount of indigestible
material. Increased bulk lis to be
secured. Rye, graham and bran
breads with green vegetables of all
kinds, both cooked and raw, are to
be employed freely, as are also the
fruits. Mineral oils in doses up to
or even beyond three tablespoonfuls
daily may prove helpful. It's action

THE LONG EXPECTED BLOW FALLS.


AT last it has come, the long hoped for,
long awaited American blow on the German
flank near Verdun.
1T may be but another rapier thrust from
the master strategist, Foch, or it may be
the blow intended for the very heart Of the
enemy with all the Allied power behind it.
1t will be several days before we will know
which Of these it is.
But the ground of this master stroke has
been prepared with consummate skill. By
hisrepeated thrusts in Picardy and between
gradually forced the German high COM
1nand to concentrate its forces along the
front from Rheims to Ypres. Striking first
in one place and then another, along this
13O-mile front, the Allies have developed a
bad case Of Jumps" in the German army.
The Germans have concentrated their eff,
forts on getting back Of the Hindenburg
line and even in holding that from being
outflanked.
And now, with the overwhelming ma
iority of the German forces far out in this
huge salient, General Foch has struck far
to the rear-a blow which threatens the
safety of the entire German army in France
and Belgium.
1T is no mere pocket the Germans are in
now. The attack made by the Americans
and French may we'll develop into move
ment threatening the entire military ma
chine Of the enemy.
The strength of the reserve army General
Fioch has assembled is unknown, but we
have a few facts on which to base
speculation. 1t is known that the total
American forces in France number about
100000. Of these General March stated,
less than 10 per cent were still brigaded
with the French and British. This would
leave 100000 men under General Perish
ing's command. From these must be TAX
en- the forces fighting between Rheims and
Scissors, or perhaps 100000 at the outside.
Some more American forces are holding the
line farther down toward Switzerland
possibly $4,000 more. That would leave
100000 men in General Pershing'B army
and in the training camps in France These,
or most Of them, are available for reserves.
That is bigger force than the Germans
have concentrated for any one offensive,
and it must be met as an entirely new blow
when the Germans are staggering under
the blows inflicted farther to the west and
north by the French and British.
One other feature is of immense import
ance. The Germans have carefully con-
structed three lines of defense behind the
Hindenburg line. To take these by frontal
attack would be very costly. But the
American drive is aimed at outflanking
two of these lines in addition to the Hin
denburg line itself, and if it is driven far
enough, the American advance will cut off
the German army from reaching the third
line of defense.
1t is far too early ct to attempt to pre-
dict what the outcome Of the American
drive will be. It may be checked; it may
be broken off when it is found too costly;
itmay be but a preliminary thrust intended
as feeler". But it is fraught with the
possibilities that stagger the imagination.

BEWARE THE CRY "KAMERAD'

Beware the Hun crying "hamerad ,.
The Allied soldiers have learned by bit
ter experience not to trust Fritz when he
comes forward with his hands in the air.
The Allied peoples will be wise if they
accept the experience of the soldiers in
dealing with the German government cry
ing Kamerad -.
The German peace drive is under way
It was begun by few words dropped by
Chancellor Won HertEng. Then came the
speech by Baron Burian. This was fol
lowed by the interview with the Crown
Prince, and the climax was the speech de-
livered by the Kaiser himself to the work
ing men and women Of the great Krupp
plant at Essen
These speeches and interviews had but
two purposes to convince the German and
Austrian people that they are fighting a
war of defense for the preservation of their
nations; and to appeal to the pacifist ele-
ments in the Allied nations and give them
ammunition for peace offensives at home.
There is but one answer to be given. It
can be summed up rather inelegantly in six
words: Shut up and fight or surrender.

It is said that the the Canadian forces in France have long since quit making prisoners of their en- emy They shoot them down. This Is said to be as reprisals' for atroCi- ties perpetrated on the Canadians by the Germans. Uuprintable treat ments were accorded Canadians. This in the face of the supposed sa- cred agreements entered into at the Hague in 1907. Tn that year at a conference. Germany agreed 10 certain definite rules Of war. A mong them were these:
 No employment of deleterious gases. No bombardment of unforti- fled towns. No Uillaging. Nc levy ing of illegal contribution in Oc- rupied territory. No seizure Of funds belonging to private per sons. No collective penalties for individual acts (prohibiting shoot ing of hostages).
