many and some come to the conclu-
sion that it was unwise to array the
United States against the Fatherland.
The Taeglische Rundschau says Ger
many lost her last chance to Keep the
United States out when she failed TO
prevent President Wilson's reelection
because of his anti-German leanings.'
"But," says. the newspaper, "it is well
to remember that Mr.. Wilson will soon
come forward with another peace
proposition"
The Kreuzzeitmg says: THE u
boat was a useful pretext for America
to enter the war and we supplied it.
II enabled President Wilson effec-
tually to conceal his true war motives.
We thoroughly misread American sem
timent."
The Berliner Tageblatt refuses to
believe American help can bring vic
tory TO the Entente. Continuing, it
says:
"America's economic assistance now
has passed it's zenith. The seizures of
German, Austro- Hungarian, Dutch
and Swedish shipping aggregatinc
1000 900 tons constitutes the Entente's
last reserves. which in three months

U-boats. Then the Entente will be
Ixfaced with the final question whether

Cnmp meades Admirhi, Mu', AplA O.
Work was resumed at Little Penn to-
day. but the 10000 men who made the
long hike to Baltimore are nursing tired
shins and fees. Not man will admit
that much but il is true, and it's not a
BIT surprising, for the hike TO Baltimore
and return, coupled with the parade IN
that city on Saturday, was a firing
stunt.
The soldiers returned to camp yester-

Only a handful of men were compelled

fantry CPhiladelphia's own'D was the
FIRST unit in the division TO reach home,
and as the regiment sauntered on the
reservation the boys greeted their COM
rades left to guard the barracks by sing
ing camp songs. Then came the 3lGeh
Infantry, an ll-Pennsylvania regiment
commanded by Colonel Oscar J. Charles
These regiments were Camped much
nearer the city line than other units and
had the satisfaction of beating other
regiments on the back home hike. The
Baltimore camps were left behind at
1880 o'clock and at 2:3O the 3l5th
bowled into Camp Meade.
Considering that the men carried field
packs weighing fifty pounds each, the
march home was executed in wonder
ful time.
General Kuhn was warm in his praise
today concerning the conduct Of the
men in Baltimore and their good work
on the road Colonel Roscnbaum, OF the
315th, and Charles Of the 3l6th, are
mighty proud of their boys, and today
asserted that for hiking the men are
equal to any soldiers in the service of
Uncle Sam Lieutenant Colonel Alden G.
Knowles, of the 3t6th Infantry, who has
had twenty years service, paid warm
compliment to the Pensylvanians by say
ing that they hilled over the roads with
as much pep" and "snap" as any
outfit of seasoned regulars
mot a crouch in the regiment" said
Colonel Knowles. And everybody Is
eager to resume the regular training
program"
Colonel Thomas W. Darrah, of the
814th Infantry, another Pennsylvania
regiment, paid Il similar tribute TO his
men.
Two dogs were SO tired when Shlpley
was reached yesterday that they gave

experts say cannot be overestimated
General Staff officers say that the
American people must be patient and
await the outcome with confidence.
Statements made officially by General
Pershlng and Major General March re-
fleet this confidence without divulging
why. Their reasons are presumably
linked with prospective moves about
which the public may not be informed
in advance.
It is explained here that the arrival
of American troops on the Picardy plains
has far more military significance than
appears on the surface. The outcome OF
the present fighting depends to large
extent on the matter Of reserve forces
which either side can throw into the
