FRENCH ARTILLER. IS
PAID HIGH COMPLIMENT

French Front. (By mail.)-Geperal
Ludendorff, regarded by the entente
allies as the master-mind of h Ger
man army, pays an u~nintentional COM
pliment to the accuracy Of French ar.
t1llerymen IN a memorandum issued
to the troops on october 4, which has
just been made available to the cores
pondent OF the Associated Press.
In this document he admits that the
French gunners by their counter-bat-
terry fire destroyed in n German army
alone In the course Of a month SO Ger
while they seriously damaged and put
out of action also 2S2 field guns and 2lS
heavy cannon, as we'll as 81 field guns
and 69 heavy cannon slightly injured
but capable Of being repaired and used
again In a short time.
To these imposing figures Of artillery
losses caused by the French gunners
the same German army in the same
period Of time had the modification
OF adding al almost equally large
number Of losses brought about by the
wearing out or bursting guns. In this
way 70 field guns and 81 heavy cannon
were destroyed; 1874 field guns and 12s
field guns and 81 heavy guns slightly
disabled.
The memorandum was ISSUED to the
German army by General Ludendorff
because his artillery officers had ar
gued repeatedly in favor of making
counter battery fork secondary to at
tacks on infantry and communications
They asserted the French artillery
directed their guns more generally
against the German infantry than
against the artillery batteries. Thu
figures collated by the German general
demonstrate the falsity of this g
ment n show the French determine
ton to prevent the German guns, as far
as possible. from being used against
the French infantry and lines of COM
munication and supply. n that they
do this successfully.
General Ludendorff In concluding his
memorandum points Out that by
counter-battery work not only in the
enemy's artillery destroyed or put out
of action, but the opponent is forced
to a considerable extent to turn his
attention ava from the doings of the
enemy's infantry which is thus able to
maneuver with greater ease.

Why lunkers Cat the Notes.

From the Columbia, Mo, Tribune.
1.-THE German mind is the product of
the distinct social classes in Germany"
DR.. Max Meyer, q native Of Germany,
said at convocation exercises at the uni
versity Tuesday.
Doctor Meyers subject was ''The Va
Camps" He showed that the minds OF the
Germans in this country and the minds
OF the Germans abroad are altogether
different.
1.-THE present German mind has re-
suited from oppression Of the producing
classes Of mflitarism and capitalism.
The tradesmen are not in favor OF milltar
Ism. but they support the candidates OF
that regime not knowing what they are
doing. while the peasants are still moro
confused. When the peasant goes to tho
election to vote his employer hands him a
ticket at the door and stands over him
until It is made out. II che German people
do not vote as the emperor wishes ne will
send a lieutenant with a company to ar
rest them. That Is German parliameutar-
lsm," said Professor Meyer.
German so-called efficiency has accom-
plished nothing. or the people are no hap
pier h ever There is perfect continuity
from small incomes to large incomes, but
there are two political strata-those who
govern and those who are governed.
"The unnaturalized Germans in this
country, who were formerly In govern
1ent service abroad. are the most dam
gerous pro-Germans to be found and they
are exceedingly active because they are in
q position to know how to use their in-
fluence.n

Jerusalem Re- Established.
From st. Nicholas.

FROM st. Nicholas.
The taking Of Jerusalem by the allies
respects. First. incidents In the cap
ture serve to show how the spirit Of
the Allies contrasts with that Of the
Germans. Where the Teutons are said
to have taken sacred relics from the
tomb Of the holy sepulchre to send to
the kaiser for his war museum the
British commander. in driving out the
Turks, used every possible precaution
to protect the city from damage. Then,
IN a military sense, the fall Of Jerusa-
lem is a severe blow to the Teutons
and their allies, because it means o
troll of Palestine, and, with the taking
Of Bagdad. must greatly weaken the
Turks belief in the omnlpotence Of
their German partners. And 1t gives
hew life to Jewish hopes for the es-
Establishment OF a republic in the old
homeland OF the Hebrews. The British
government has already declared it's
Intention to aid this project, possibly
by establishing a protectorate to give
the re-established Jewish nation, if re-
established 1t is actually to be, the
support 1t will need at the outset.
With this latest defeat of Turkish
forces, the effort to cripple England by
taking the Suez canal and Invading
Egypt seems to be finally checked. The
Turks have been conducting this cam
paign since November Of 1914. At one
time within is miles Of the canal, they
have been steadily forced back by Ang-
lo-Egyptian troops, with the support
OF Australians and New Zealanders and
french and British regulars. The Brit
ish invasion Of Palestine began last
March, and Its success after 10 months
was a great triumph for England's
army.

Canal Without Boats.

From the Springfield. Mass, Republican.
American Industries points out that
New York state has a canal without
boats. For the enlargement of the Erie
canal SOL 900 900 vas voted, and that has
all been spent and 353,0OO,00 In addition.
Early this year the canal will be ready to
receive traffic. but there are no barges TO
be moved. The enlargement calls for
barges Of $500 tons capacity, but no
barges of any capacity have yet been
provided Tor. No railroad company would
construct 900 mites of roadway withs&no
thought OF having an adequate rolling
stock equipment ready when the sob vas

offered to assume the business OF con-
Quoting the transportation Of the Erie
canal the outlook for any important use
Of It IL not 80 bright as It ough to be.
II - figured that 10.000.o 900 tons Of freight
can annually be carried by way of the
canal between freezes. but not a ton can
be moved until barges are supplied. Per-
haps tho Empire state will be driven to
spend many more millions for barees be-
fore the canal can be made a large factor.

lieve the inadequacies OF the railroads.
Something should be done to make the
Erie canal available before open water

the world to see a drunken soldier o1

Excessive drinking a been reduced

Women Should Make the Most Of
Food Exhibit at German
town Fair.
(By Miss Alice LIoydl

When n country is at war its popu-
lation should divide into two classes,
those who decide that ought to be
done and those who do It. In this
country those who decide what ought
to be done are at Washington, d, C.
Those who should do the work are all
others from Canada to Mexico and
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I'm
fortunately there are people who have
not been called to Washington who
feel no obligation to do what the lead
ers at Washington direct unless it ap-
peals to their own notions of things
The leaders at Washington are
watchmen on the tower, better in
formed as to needs and conditions and
the ways to meet them than any one
not IN their positions could possibly
be. 1t is the part of intelligent pa
triotism to follow their lead. p.
Mr. Hoover gave directions to the
State Federal Food Directors to make
the most of the crowds at the State
and County Fairs to drive home the
need and the patriotic duty of pro-
ducing food, conserving food and us
ing substitutes for wheat, fat and SUI
gar.
Each State Federal Food Director
appointed State Central Committees
to devise plans and programs to car
ry out Mr.. Hoover's purpose.
Instructions, plans and suggestions
for a demonstration at their own
county fairs have been sent to each
chairman of Food Observation in
counties having fairs. The duty, of
'the County Chairman is to organize
the work.
AS binding a duty is upon every wo-
man who has signed a Food Pledge
Card to do her part when called upon
as far as her circumstances permit
not her personal preferences and COM
fort.
Let each woman ask herself the
question: What would be the result
If every woman did as l am doing?"
Then act accordingly. One precinct
Colonel said to her husband: 81 am
tired. 1t is too hot. shall decline
to do the next thing l am called up
on to do" Her husband replied: at

1t would be well if all husbands help
ed to rally the weakening resolutions
of their wives.
Participation in these war activities
is not personal favor to the local
leader. That is politics not patriot
ism. We do not expect our soldiers
to be Indifferent in making a charge
because the order did not come
through favorte officer.
