WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE.
March IL (delayed) -Four groups Of
German gas projectors. in addition to the
group Of 200 projectors already reported
destroyed, have been discovered and like
wise blown to pieces by the American
artillery. which continues It's sma shing
destruction. Probable German plans for
a gas attack OH a comparatively large
scale against the American positions
northwest Of TOul thus nave been upset.
The new groups OF projectors were dis
covered from aerial photographs taken
by American observers in French air
planes. The effective action taken against
them was due to the quick work OF the
observers. the intelligence Officers and
the artillerists in turn.
The American artillery OH this front

last fifteen hours. and it's shells also

tion dumps. which were blown up. Many

gas shells began to fall. when they put

shells were mixed with the others that

The American artillery also tore great

line trenches. forcing the enemy virtually
to aba andon them.
Details OF the recent raid. which have

numbers of Germans were killed by
shell fire while the box barrage was in
effect and others later by the creeping
barrage. "A few OF the enemy were shot

tunities. Here in America man has
a chance to work out in freedom the
! best there Is In him. In Germany he
has no such chance but must do sim
ply as he is told In Germany the
soldier shoyes the civilian off the side
walk into the gutter In America 1t
Is the civilian that rules, and the
soldier is his servant. In Germany
when a soldier goes forth to fight he
fights to make things good for mill
tary autocracy. In America when he
goes out to fight he fights for himself,
for the welfare, the comfort and the
happiness of himself, his family and
his friends. That's the difference
between America and Germany.
1t seems to me that the effort of
our organization should be two-fold,
first to help our German-Americans
who are inclined to be disloyal to see
the truth, to know the facts and to
convince them by reason and persua-
sion of the error of their ways, and
second to make this country simply
too hot to hold those who stubbornly
stand out against Uncle Sam and
will not be convinced by the logic of
the facts. For the misinformed, mis-
led, and misguided American citizen
of German birth and parentage, we
can have naught but pity and SYM
pathy and a desire that he should
come out of the darkness into the
light, but for the German American
citizen who wilfully shuts his eyes to
the truth, who persists in believing
in the kaiser's dream of world con-
quest, and who wants the kaiser to |
win, simply because he happens to |
be German, we should have no char
ity or consideration, but should give
him clearly to understand that he is
not wanted here and If he doesn't |
get out right soon, we will help him
to move in ways that he cannot fail
to understand.
Il believe that the majority of Ger
in this country
are loyal to the stars and stripes.
Those who belong to this majority
should be cheered and comforted
and encouraged and supported by
