unofficial, expert or unexpert, can Go
his own figuring on that possibility
and one is about as apt to be right as
tht other.
But there are some phases of the
present military situation that are not
matters of guesswork. And the most
important is the demonstrated fact
that the German army is approaching
a state of decentralization. 1t is not
functioning as it should. 1t is not
standing the gaff. 1t is a powerful
piece of fighting machinery when it is
going ahead, but when it is retreating
it is limp and spiritless.

from the German newspapers of what
is happening in France and Flanders
came in an official dispatch from Swift

Too Much important Legislation Now
On Hand.

Washington.-It is extremely unlike

BARRED WIRE PLAYS
 TRICKS UPON MEN
 ACTING SEN TRIES
RATS AND ALL OTHER SMALL THINGS MAKE THIS NEUTRAL AREA BETWEEN LINES THEIR RUNWAY, OFTEN STARTING RIFLE FIRE IN NIGHT

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
 IN FRANCE. Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Barbed wire which protects the trenches plays odd tricks
 on the soldier sentries.
 The ground under the wire becomes runway for all small things of the night Rats make trapezes out of the tout stands, weazels follow them and the fight which ensues may set danc- ing all the empty jam tins strung along the wire as alarms so that sen tries over a long stretch of front will fire repeatedly into the night, bring ing the guards to their posts and awakening soldiers over a wide area. At night the wire takes on a ghastly aspect. The cool dews settle on the picket posts and the wires contract, straining with little rustling and creep ing noises or chafing and chattering like living thing. The untitled sen tries prick their ears to listen and peer anXiously through the darkness, now and then discharging a shot in the black night, for it is sometimes diff cult to tell whether the noise is that of the wire or that of enemy meddlers in no mans land, secretly cutting a path through the defenses.
 When the barbed wire is new and freshly erected and secured to its stout scaffoldings and stakes it looks like some carefully planned work of engineering. the skeleton perhaps of some concrete rampant or breakwater. ' Time weathers it at first to an ugly thing of red rust and sullen neutral tints, but later it may blossom in amazing beauty at the rich weeds and climb through it's meshes. leaving corn-flowers and blazing pop pies to cloak its ugliness.
 The wire has voice of it's own. It sings and drones in the wind, car rying back the memories of the men who sit behind it 10 the dusty roads of Connecticut and Missouri or Alabama where the tall telegraph poles sing a similar song and lazy insects re-echo the chorus. ]

The comic side of life is seen by the American soldier in France amid the smoke of battle, letter received in Bisbee from somewhere in Frence" by a Yank, states that the writer picked up a missive from the crown prince to his father, the German em- peror in which the c. p. bemoaned the fact that he was unable to outrun the Americans. Here is what the crown prince is represented as having writ ten while he was resting a few mo- ments on his dash toward home:
 Dear Papa-I am writing on del run, as der brave and glorious soldiers under my command have not seen der Rhine for so long dat they have start ed back dat way and of course l am going init dem. Oh, Papa, dere has been some offel dOings happened here in France.

Yell, according to vat you half always told me, de Americans half turned and run like blazes. But vot do you tink? Dem fool Americans don't know any thing about war, instead of running de odder way, dey come right back toward us.

Eut dey are offel reckless init der guns, and ven dey come toward us it vas dat my men took a notion dat they wanted to go back to de dear old Rhine.

Splendid MORALS IN
U. S. ARMY IN FRANCE

Here is an excerpt from the ad-
dress of G. Sherwood Eddy, who was
sent to ST.. Paul by the National Ex-
ecutive Committee of the United
War Work Campaign to speak to the
Minnesota leaders. -
Il have just returned from our
American battle fields in France.
stood on the spot where the first
American fell, by grave ''To an un-
known American soldier, with his
steel helmet and the Stars and
Stripes over the newly made grave.
l saw the spot where our line held,
where the Germen advance was bro
ken, where the American marines
advanced the frontier of freedom
which threw back the German lines
in their great retreat. I found no
troops in France more brave and
daring than our own. 1 stood be-
side the cots of our men in the hos
pitfalls and saw them eager to return
to the battle front, making jest
of pain and suffering. =:
Nothing impressed me more than
the splendid advance which our army
has made in its moral record. A
year ago I was apprehensive, but
after looking over the field in France
today l can say without hesitation
that l do not believe that any great
national army has ever so success
fully maintained such a record in the
matter Of temperance and purity, Of
physical fighting fitness and high
moral tone, as that maintained today
by the American army at home and
abroad ..2 q :, ~. I. .* : =.
The military situation in France
is more encouraging. Along the
whole front, French, British and Am
erlcan,r we are making steady pro-
gress. The night j reached France,
in the stream Of. wounde ed men who
were being brought back from The
battle field, there was one Of sour
American boys with both legs shot
away, gassed and delirious, who kept
saying over and over again: 4 Wen

even for all seven oil these organiza-

France. Every man was ready to
make his sacrifice, to give all that
he had to his country.
"Shah we not with the same spirit
of sacrifice here at home resolve that
this year we shall make no selfish
profit for ourselves out of these
boys who are dying for us, but that
we shall make possible the winning
of the war, in this last great drive
for Metz, Lorraine and the Rhine, by
a generous response in the next Lib
