that in view of the great

an appeal to the railroad men to vote

Leans had been in power and there had

TN the campaign of the Mouse, or of
the Argonne as it has also been styl-
ed, 100000 Americans in the last days
of the war broke the German hinge
upon which retrogade movements of
the German hordes on all the western
front moved. 1t was the most diff
cult ground in all the war, except the
Hindenburg line broken by the Brit
ish in the decisive battle of the year
And it was as vital as anything in
the war, the first Marine excepted.
Therefore it was that Marshal Foch
in his tribut to the American forces
under General Pershing wrote that
they would be able to wear "the
Meuse" on their victorious battle flags
for all time. Yet it is reported that it
is Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood
and ''the Marine" that Americans most
think of and that will always stand
for Americas part in the war. In fact
both these conceptions of the Ameri-
can contribution are equally warrant
ed. The French cheerfully agree that
it was the Americans, principally the
marines, who did in truth
halt the German advance. This was at
Chateau Thierry and at Belleau Wood
Chateau Thierry was the hinge of the
original thrust back by Gen. Foch,
when he saw that the enemy was eff
fectually stopped. If that hinge held,
rs it had done, then the swinging adj
ance north to scissors and south to
helms could be and was made. Ameri-

,rucial and telling part in the fight

.orious German advance, and it was
1t the last American troops who on
he other hand broke through the Ger
nan hinge in the Mouse campaign.

oil of heroic achievements to their
lonor, but Americas were equal in
and results to any in the :

WARS casualties are shocking, per-
haps because they occur in the
open, in masses, and are deliberately
inflicted in dramatic way. We can
scarcely realize the truth that the
deaths from the influneza in the last
three months in the United States
have far exceeded the deaths from cas-
ualities in the war among our troops,
The deaths alone from the "flu', how
ever, are almost or quite equal to the
war casualties of every description.
War on disease is something that this
country can we'll afford to expend
vastly more money upon than it has
done in the past.
