German War Machine Crumbi'ns

Paris. led by the redouotaple
Clemenceau. is now convinced byev-
,dence from every direction. that the
Huns are near exhaustion The peo-
ple Of the Frnech metropolis are not
demdinS themselves with the admls-
sions or the crafty statements OF Ger
man prisoners, but they know that
the people Of Germany are in terror
as a result Of the growing magnitude
Of their armys defeat. the inevitable
blow that must later fall when
mighty American army strikes-and
xtrikes al a time when their own
ew,ndlins strength is far less than
todav-and as a result of the daily
Increasing and daily more destructive
air raids.
Military experts in France. Eng
land and elsewhere are giving great
weight 70 the rapidly thinning out OF
the shock troops OF the foe. The pol
lev OF selecting tho best mental and
physical manhood from many divi-
sions TO make UP storm divisions OF
the highest possible order for the
crown princes much advertised trl-
umphs. has resulted in heavy losses
81 the very best fighting men and
consequent lowering Of the general
level Of army efficiency, relaxed dis
cipline, lower morale. Perhaps the
most significant effect is an indis-
putable and increasing eagerness OF
the Teuton men Of the ranks to sur
render. All reports from the various
allied headquarters agree that never
have prisoners been taken at so small
cost as now. when the enemy's for
tunes are going from bad to worse
with every sunset.
Gen. Foch. by the careful and
adroit processes OF master Of stra-
tegv. has proven that the enemy's
reserves are barely adequate for de-
tense. They can only reinforce rear
guard action here and there TO pre-
vent disaster with even this process
rapidly wearing itself on. in the cas-
ualties inflicted by relentless and
swift falling allied blows.
The help sent from Austria in re-
spouse to an appeal that must have
put a crimp in the Prussian pride.
has had little, II any effect in staying
the eastward march of Gen. Foch' s
Hun hunters.
Another striking proof of collaps-
Ing Prussian thoroughness in military
effectiveness. is the scant trench
preparation made by the Huns in
ground retaken by the allies. They
are either growing hopeless or help
less. Either they are suffering from
a scarcity Of labor or the personnel
OF the armies is far below the stan
dard OF even one year ago.
And even the press OF Germany is
asking why she has no friends
among the nations. The answer
must come TO the generations who
reap what Prusslan militarism has
sown: what frightfulness and hymns
OF hate have earned; what brutal
ian has won by its worst.

Questions to Consider.

If YOU We're selecting a statesman
to look after your interests, would
you choose one who would Willy,
berate and bear false witness against
a Christian gentleman merely to Sc
cure political advantage?
Would YOU pick a man as a states
man who would sheer at your cover
nor as IAN old woman" because he
enforced the law?
Would you class as a statesman a
man who would say:
There are just two men who will
vote for (Governor) Milliken: One is
a very old man who can't change his
mind. One is a man who has soften
ing Of the brain"
Are you looking for statesman
who would, over and over repeat
such charge as the following:
DO not by your vote in September
send any confidence to Germany.
Defeat the Huns and the Governor"
And, finally, are you satisfiei with
other candidates who silently assent
to such unjust and brutal political
methods as tieing up the name of the
Governor of Maine with the Kaiser
and his gang?
do you think that any political
game justifies such methods as at
tempting to class ANY man of
Maine, much less such a man as Gov.
ernor Milliken is every where known
to be. with the law defying, baby
numbering Huns?
