"The 42d Division has now been in
France more than a year From the
time it assembled froma the ports OF
debarkation the division has remained
continuously in the zone of the ar
mics, it's first training area being
within sound of the guns Of st. Mi
hiel.
I'm February, 1918, the division
first went into line and has been in
contact with the enemy almost con-
tinuously since that time until tho
armistice signed by the Germans on
November II, 1918.
Most Days Busy Ones.
"Out of the PA days of the great
war which have elapsed since 1t first
entered the line the division has been
engaged with the enemy 1S9 days and
the balance of the item has been
spent in moving from front to front
or in reserve close behind the front.
"The division has marched by road,
Travelled by canton and moved by
train; ii has held a wide sector front
in Lorraine: it has been in battle in
Champagne. in the woevre. at ST.
MihieI and in the Argonne. 1t was
the only American division to assist
in the disastrous defeat of the great
German offensive of July Is on the
battlefield in Champagne. From that
time on it has taken part in every
large American operation.
'In November. when German pow
er was finally broken, the division as
it Law before Sedan had reached the
northernmost point attained by the
list American army in its magnificen,
advance.
THE American high command hs,.
long rated and employed the AID Di-
vision as a first class shock division.
The French commanders under whom
the division has served have cited it
in orders and now a captured Ger
man document shows the regard in
which the division has been held by
the enemy.

Meuse enumerates the American units

statement:
The engagement of the 42d Di-

''In the course of its service the di-

AFTER leaving the region Of cha

my Corps and to deliver the main
blow in the direction of the heights
overlooking the Nadine river.
I'm the battle that followed you
took every objective in accordance
with the plan of the army commanr-
er. You advanced fourteen kilometres
in twenty-eight hours. You pushed
forward advance elements five kilo-
metres further. or nineteen kilomer-

point. You took more than 1000
prisoners from nine enemy divisions.
You captured seven villages and forty
two square kilometres of territory,
You seized large supplies of food,
clothing, ammunition, guns and en-
gineering material.
Worn though you yere by ceases

then moved to the Verdun region to
participate in the great blow which

END OF AN EVIL PHILOSO-
PLY.

ERMANY'S assault upon
VI the world in 1914 was
but the translation into
action Of German philosophy"
the elimination of half a CEN
tury of baleful teaching of a
system that glorified might.
And yet German philosophy,
like all things Germany has
most improved" exploited
and extoIled, is not primarily
German at all. Indeed, it is of
no nation, although it was first
put Ia clear literary form by a
famous Italian, Niccolo Machi-
avelli who, in al Principe,
wrote down for all time the gos-
pei u kings.
To this gospel the Prussian
mind was peculiarly suscep-
tibIe. and it is the justification,
amplification and application
of the malevolent thesis of Ma
chiavelli that constitutes the
body of German philosophy.
Beginning with the false
postulate that mankind is who'll
ly evil and hopelessly stupid, /

followers justified on this
score a strong, autocratic gov
ernment of the masses ''for
their own good" and for the
safety-and profit-of the
upper classes. To this end
a powerful military machine
was to be maintained, wars
provoked and conquests made.
War" according to Machi-
avelli, "ought to be the only
study of a prince. He ought to
consider peace only as a
breathing time which gives
him leisure to contrive and fur
nishes ability to execute mill
tary plans"
Hegel muddled the clear
thought of Machiavelli, but the
German school, thus got a
start and grew to such proper
tions that it undertook to
|overwhelm the world with its
"kultur." Nor was the world
unimpressed. People who did
not understand German philo-
sophy-and few did-spoke of
it in awe, as something almost
supernatural. 1t was ex- \
pounded in many colleges,
many salons, and although
nearly every expounder gave a
different Interpretation, none
questioned the other, for none
was sure of his ground. The
only clear notion it conveyed
was the justification of force.
And now the end of the war
should mark the end of this
wicked German philosophy"
