Buck Olney had occupied so unwilling
ly-and placed his left knee upon it.
He managed to reach the cupboard
where he kept his dishes, and took down
a bottle Of liniment and box Of car
bolized vaseline which he happened to
have. He was near the two big zinc
water pals which he bad filled that
morning just to show Buck Olney how
cool he was over his capture, and he
bethought him that water was going to
be precious in the next few weeks.
He lifted down one pail and swung
it forward as far as he could and set
it on the floor ahead OF him. Then he
swung the other pail beside it. Pain
fully he hitched his chair alongside,
lifted the pals and set them forward
again. He did that twice and got them
beside his bunk. He went back and In
spected the teakettle, found it half full
and carried that also beside the bunk.
Then he rested awhile.
Bandages. Well, there was a new
-four sack hanging on nail. He stood
up, leaned and got 1t, and while he
was standing he reached for the cigar
box, where he kept his bachelor sewing
outtit-two spools OF very coarse thread,
some large eyed needles to carry it, an
assortment Of buttons and pair or
scissors. He cut the -four sack into
strips and sewed the strips together:
his stitches were heater than you might
think.
When the bandage was long enough
he rolled it as he had seen doctors DO,
and fished some pins out of the cigar
box and laid them where he could get
his fingers on them quickly. He stood
up again, reached across to box OF
canned milk and pried off the lid. I'm
liable to need you, too" he muttered
to the rows Of cans. and pulled the box
close. He took Buck Olney's knife and
whitfield some very creditable splints
from the thin boards and rummaged in
his "warbag" under the bunk for hand
kerchiefs with which to wrap the
splints.
When he had done all that he could
do to prepare for the long siege OF pain
and helplessness ahead of him he NOV
ed along the bunk until he was sitting
near the head Of it with his broken leg
extended before him and took a last
look to make sure that everything was
ready. He felt his gun at his hip, re-
moved belt and all and threw 1t back

his existence. AS my readers know.
three-quarters of the German strength
was concentrated for attack before
June Is north and west OF the Argon-
ne, only one-quarter held the other
half of the line from the Argonne to
the Swiss frontier. And one-half was
concentrated for attack between Arras
and Rheims alone. When the attack
was suddenly turned into anxious de-
tense upon July IS this congestion in
the north was pinned and kept there
by the perpetually increasing and
frightening Allied assaults, which
gave no respite from July Is to the
present day, and which compelled the
Germans to concentrate still in the
north.
Ceaseless French and American
pressure in front of Laon-that is,
against st. Gobain and the west end
Of the Chemin des Dames-had for its
object not to outflank this immense
ly strong position, though that might
come from accident, but, the pinning
OF the great enemy forces at the very
apex of the dangerous bulge they hold
between Verdun and the sea. That is
why at the same time of this attack

Allies, who now look down from the
submits upon the plain below, which
is crossed diagonally by the new Ger
man line from near Fresnes, immedi-
ately at the foot of the hills, to Pag-
ny, far off on the Moselle.
Though the operation was in no
way main offensive and was but the
prelude to what must follow, it is
certain that important strategic re.
suits must Immediately attach to it.
The first is/the release of the main
eastern railway from Barbecue to
Nancy. This main lateral commune
cation of the Allies during all these
years of war in the west, consisted of
two great trunk railways perpetually
referred to in these columns. The
first goes from Calais and Boulogne
through Amiens, to Paris. 1t is the
main line of the Northern Railway
company in time of peace. The second
goes from Chateau Thierry and Chal-
ons to Barbecue and Nancy with a
branch going off to Verdun. There
are, of course. plenty of lesser branch
lines, but they are often single track
and far less we'll provided with
buildings, repair shops and sidings.
BY this long avenue of railway from
Calais to Paris and from Paris to
Nancy the Allies most quickly move
their troops and supplies back and
forth along the line of the front. a
matter of high importance, because
rapidity of movement, especially in
concentration, is the essence of sur
prise, and, therefore, of victory.
e. 90 o,, txx-a Two
miles near Commercy, the eastern rail
way runs through the trench of the
upper Meuse and along the bank of
that river while the most important
branch line runs down the valley to
Verdun.
When the Germans reached ST Mi
hiel. September %. 1914, they were
actually across few yards of the Yer
dun branch and had under their guns
few miles of the main line below
Commercy. Therefore, from that day
to last Thursday, that is. nearly four
years, the main Allied lateral commu-
nication was cut and the supply OF
Nancy and Toul and the line through
Lorraine and down to the Vosges had
to go round behind, through Goude-
court, while the direct communism ion
with Verdun from Nancy was also cut.
Later, during the course of the OPP
erations against Verdun in 1916, the
branch from Chalons to Verdun came
under German fire, and it was this
isolation of Verdun from it's railway
supply that made the situation Of that
front so critical during the earlier part
of 1916 AS we all know, the main
line of the Allied lateral communica-
lions suffered further this year. BY
Aril 4, 1918, the Amiens line came un-
der the German fire, and by May 80
the eastern line at Chateau Thierry.
The latter was released a few days
after the counter offensive of July IS
and the former on August S. But the
eastern line still lay cut furtaer on by
Commercy, and the Verdun branch
also.
The first immediate effect of the
American victory last Thursday was to

relieve both these lines, and by Fri
day morning, September Is, the whole
Allied main lateral line OF communi-
cation in the West, for the first time
since the early days of the war, was
restored to full use. The second stra-
tegic consequence of the American vic
tory was the approach of the Allies to
the main German lateral communica-
tion, and this is of very high import
ance.
The German line in the West had for
its main railway lateral lire behind
the front and serving it for concen-
tration and supply the railway from
Metz to Contains, Longuyon, Sedan,
MeZieres, Valenciennes and Lille. AS
in the Allied case, there are numerous
minor branch lines behind the main
one. For instance, if the junction at
Contains came under close-range AL
lied fire, the work could go on, though
less easily, round by Thiorville and
Fontoy or Luxembourg. But behind
Longuyon, the junction for Luxem-
burg, there Is no branch line There
is here the great mass of the Ardennes
hills and forests, and if the railway is
reached and cut just here the whole
unity of the German lateral comm uni
cations is destroyed. That is the vital
matter. 1t would mean that the Ger
man army in the West woulG be com
PEELED to act in the future as two sep
arate armies dependent upon two sep
arate lines of supply, with no direct
communication between them. The
enemy could not rush men up north
or down south to meet each rev blow
He would have to go around through
Belgium with a loss of time of several
days, and that would be fatal to him.
The lines are not yet in danger. The
American victory does not yet bring
Contains nearer than 10000 yards
from the furthest possible forward en-
placement of the heavy guns nor Lon
guyon nearer than $4,000 yards; but it
provides line from which advance
but few miles would put both these

case of the second one woull strike a
fatal blow at the enemy's lateral com
munications. He knows that well
enough and will mass to defend that
railway But he cannot he every.
where; and to compel him to mass
there is to compel his thinning his
front dangerously further south in
the open plain of Lorraine, on the
sector from Nancy to Charmes
The third strategic result Of the
American victory is more simple and
apparent to every one. 1t consists in
the relative loss of men. Two German
divisions have ceased to exist, and
there has been a total loss in killed,
prisoners and wounded of at least &c..
900, and all that has been the work of
twenty-four hours The price paid In
Allied, especially American, casualties
is known to be slight, though the ac-
tual figures, OF course, are kept Sc
cret.
This loss is serious to the enemy at
the present moment Apart from two
new tactical assets of the Allies, the
new tanks and the American unit of
combat, which, as have explained be-
fore, is virtually a new tactical in
strument, the great peril of the Ger
mans is the rapidly increasing dis.
proportion between their numbers and
ours. Long ago, August 20, they had
to break up eight divisions to fill their
gaps, and they had to send for Aus
train reinforcements, and the num-
Der of these which can be spared is
limited. To have two divisions de-
stroyed and from four to six more
hammered in one brief operation of
twenty-four hours, with the immediate
loss OF 10000 men, is at least a heavy
blow.
There remains the question of how
rapidly and upon what scale the en-
envy can bring troops southwark, south
and east of Rheims and the Argonne,
to meet the menace which imperils

Why Farmers Will Buy Bonds

(From the Seventh Federal Reserve Dstrict)
The farmer will buy Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds because they are the best and safest in
vestment in the world.
Because they are backed by the greatest
nation in the world, whose debts have been paid
always in full.
Because they provide full measure of insur-
ance against want, old age, temporary finan-
cial stress.
Because the possession of Liberty Bonds will
better your credit; as collateral Liberty Bonds
rank highest when you wish to borrow.
Because if you don't buy bonds, just that
much more money will have to, be raised by tax
alton; in the one case you receive interest for
the money loaned, in the other tax receipt.
Because the investment Of money in Liberty
Bonds means financial reserve that will enable
one to share in the country's prosperity after
the war.
Because no American citizen desires to shift
the burden of supporting the government and
the boys in the trenches on to his neighbour
shoulders.
