THE PRICE OF VICTORY,

No great victory in the greatest of wars
can be won without heavy losses. In com
parison with the losses of the Germans i'm
the retreat from the Marne, the losses of
the victorious Allies are small Yet In
actual figures they must be large. French
soldiers comprised 20 per cent Of Foch's
army. French losses will comprise 20 Der
cent, more or less, Of the total losses. The
naming 30 per cent will be divided
among the Americans, Italians and
British
Although American losses will be small
in comparison to the total casualties, il is
certain THAT grief and anxiety will be
brought to many American homes. Be
tween the Marne and the Ourcq, between
the Ourcq and the Veslc, many Americans
soldiers have given their lives for the cause
of liberty and civilization Many other
Americans are in hospitals, some of them
fighting for life. others with wounds from
which they will recover, but which will
leave them iDcapacitated for further fight
ing.
Already the war has brought its fore
taste of death and suffering to America.
Within the next few days it is likely that
America will have a clearer realization of
what war means, and this realization will
strengthen Americas determination To
win, and to bring peace by the exertion of
every ounce OF American Energy. -Cleye-

OLD GAME FOR AMERICA.

Details of new German tactics and of
American success in defeating them sug-
gest that American experiences in fighting
Indians in the West and Filipinos and
Moros in the Orient is proving Of value.
German success in the early part of the
present campaign was won largely by the
process OF infiltration, which General
Pershing described on the authority of
prisoner taken at Vaux Eight men de-
ployed in skirnish line, immediately fol-
lowed by other groups, each of which car
RED two light machine guns. They were
stopped by machine gun fire from their
flanks. and another platoon which de-
ployed on the left was also decimated.
The men were then ordered TO save them
selves as best they could, and they took
refuge in a cellar, where 80 or 60 of them
surrendered
American defeat of German infltration
is explained by the army and Navy Jour
nal as having probably been due to inces-
SAINT vigilance, superiority of FIRE and
outf1anl.ing the 1ankers by regular troops.
who thus used their training in fighting
Indians and Filipinos. 1t was a game in
sneaking up in small parties, Indian
fashion, at which the Germans tried to
beat the Americans, not knowing that the
latter were past masters at it-Portland

PRESS COMMENT.
THE WOMAN CRAFTSMAN.

The cxigcncies Of war industralism
have already drawn women into so many
ana various OF the occupations regarded
generation ago as strictly "man callings'
that any new proposition about shunting
women into the mechanic arts and crafts
comes with little, If any, surprise shock
When IL comes To establishing schools for
training women AS factory mechanics
1t must be conceded that the theory
which holds that whatever man is natur-
ally fitted for in the arts, professions,
business or the industries, that also
woman is naturally fitted for, is scoring
progress
The Aero Club of PENNSYLVANIA. CO.
operating with the Philadelphia Young
Mems Christian Association, has cstab-
llshed school for training aircraft me
chanics and, Judging from the published
statements, women are admitted to this
school on equal terms with men. This
school is already in operation, and there
are women who arc taking the mechanical
courses. What becomes of that long
standing tradition that "A woman cannot
be taught to drive a nail with n hammer,
can never be educated to the art Of saving
board on straight line, cannot even
acquire proficiency in sharpening a lead
pencil with a pcnknifc.
There is an urgent call for skilled
craftsmen IN the airplane factories A
food carpenter or n skilled metal worker
has basic education for the development
of skilled craftsman in this newest
of the constructive crafts. The airplane
