OUR BOYS STAND THE CAFE.

The Americans standing the gaf We inn agine this must be the sentiment, however ex- pressed, that is passing and down the French and British lines these days, of the affairs in which boys take part is passed from mouth to mouth. All game fighters love gamcnes and recog- nize it at sight
 So far, the Americans have been in few fights, and comparatively unmportant They have shown the stuff that is in them, however and at the present time are the bright spot in the Al lied horizon.
 Both French and British correspondents are loud in their praise of the dash and skill shown by the Americans The London Daily Express, review ing their exploit at Veuilly, says Germany will find herself in the last great fight faced by troops equal to the best Europe has produced'
 The defense of the bridge at Chateau Thierry by American machine gunners and the infantry attack at Cantgny have satisfied the British public that the Yankees going to prove worthy of place by the side of the Canadians, and that is high est praise they bestow.
 The Paris Matin commenting on the same line weeks, with tremendous effort, become modern battlefelds the equals of their French and British comrades who were their instructors"
 We have reports, yet of what the German papers think of fighters A weeks ago, having finally to admit that Americans were in the line, they expressed ronical desire to learn whether these lightning-trained Yankees would be able to hold their with the German youths trained in soldering from their boyhood. The French paper says boys in their opera tions at Cantigny and between the Marne and Ourcq have been ptted against the best German troops of attack and beat them.
 We do not know which of our troops have fig ured in these various affairs. We do care par tculary. We know they are not picked men, chosen for the purpose of making a record We have no such men. Every soldier sent France by this country is good every other soldier. They all factory run latest model capable of putting up the fight of their lives a moment S notice whether they hail from Alaska from Fori- da, from Maine from California We do not need to distinguish the Prussian Guards the Bavarians. Saxons, shock troops landwehr and other troops of the enemy distinguished Just call them Americans and put them where there is any work to be done. The quality goes with the name.

pei the navy keep larger force of destroyers in American waters.
 The Germans have also said that their bombing and long range bombarding of cities was intended to dshearten the civil population of enemy coun- tries and stimulate a demand for peace. They have wrong in their judgment but if they still hold to the theory they must have hoped that U-boat raid on the American would frighten the American people.
 This view is weakened somewhat by the care which the U-boat took to give passengers and marin CTS chance for lives but the American coast is not yet in the Kasers' barred He may intend can be punctous, if he wishes, and the possi- bilities frghtfuness which he holds in his hands

REASONS FOR THE U-BOAT RAID.

Whatever the motive may have been that caused the German naval command to send more U-boats to American waters, it not simply a wish to further German aims by destroying ships. The U-boats fight most effectively when friendly port, where supplies can be renewed with little loss of time. The time and fuel they consume in long voyages the less there is of both for active operations. So far as know Ger many has no U-boat bases this side of the At lantc.
 Various theories be offered as to what mo- tive there was, other than the motive of desruc- tion. Very likely there were several motives just several reasons have been given for air raids The German commanders have undoubtedly compell- ed the English to keep many flyers and guns at home to fight off the air raiders, and the force in men and materials required for adequate defense is much larger than that needed to make an ocea- sional raid.
 The cause for occasional U-boat raid on this side is the The Uboat strike anywhere but the defense. to be effective be along the whole coast. Doubtless, the Germans hope to com

If it is true that Austria is throwing ninety noble divisions against Italy in open attack and there is no reason to question it, it is plain even to a lay man that Italy is playing an important part in the war. If ninety divisions be used moveablt army, many thousands of others are required fol garrisons protection of the lines of communications staff purposes and other branches of warfare If ii were not for Italy this whole force could be thrown against the Allies in France To paraphrase Lin coln if IItaly has not been skinning much of late sPe' has been holding a leg, and doing it pretty well

 From this time forward Dawson may expect to witness the return of many of her boys who have gone to the front Several already have gotten back. When the river opens more will As the recruiting in creases and the war progresses there will be more of the brave fellows disabled found unfit and dis charged. They will come this way.
 Thus far no systematic scheme has been evolved for welcoming the lads home. It would be well for Dawson to plan to have committee be at each boat when returning veteran is known to be on board, and to give him fitting welcome. It is in consistent to say the least give the grand sendof when they leave, but to have no one to meet them when they return. Such an action ap- pears as though the great labor of hazard and sacrifice IS not appreciated
 Committees to welcome home the lads and to see that they are adequately recognized now exist in nearly every other city. Little reason can he cited why Dawson should not be abreast other places on thls score Local patriotic organizations might take up the work to adVantage.
