Won Ludendorff, chief aide to Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, in an. inter-
view with the correspondent at the
front of the Tages Zeitung of Berlin.
The general praised the British for
their tenacious resistance and con-
tinued:
"The British believed they could
rely on the strength Of machinery.
The employment of tanks and great
numbers of machine guns is typical
of their methodstof warfare"
The German infantry, the general
adds, had only one nights normal
rest during FIVE or six days of battle.

"the infantryman must risk his life

the fighting from position warfare to

subterranean corridors, starting from
trenches in which machine guns are
planted.

Advance With Spirit.

- "Such installations cannot be OBJ
served by Our artillery, and in foggy
weather especially cannot be reached.
Our infantry had to take all these ma
chine gun nests, scattered everywhere
over the battlefield.
"Our men advanced with great spirit
so that it was difficult to follow hem
with tired horses and damaged carts,
but the spirit of the men is splerd:d.
THE preparations for the battle
meant two months of strenuous labor.
In the beginning of February the Or

March 20-2l the attack was begun,

danger Of talking too much to them
when they are so young? Not much;
Just as soon as a girl Is able to know
the pure from the impure she should
be taught. oh, mothers. mothers, you
don't know what your girl is being
led to by this false and mock mod
esty.
Just think, what a grand thing It
must be, mothers, to look back on a
clean, godly life and to have good.
upright, godly children. I wish my
daughter Helen was here. have sat
and preached this sermon with her
sitting on the front seat. / would
thank anybody that would tell her
these things.
There are a lot Of you women sit
ting right out there whose tempera-
ture has run up seven degrees Just
since 1 have been preaching.
Marriage Not the Only Thing.
Don't teach your girls that the only
thing in the world is to marry. Why.
some girls marry infidels because they
were not taught to say I would not
do it, A girl is a big fool to marry
an infidel. God says, BE ye not un-
'Tt has simply come to this-that
somebody has to preach plainly, and
that somebody seems to be me.
Since the world began woman Is
the one that man sought after. He
will work for you, labor-he will die
for you; but, girls, when you come
down from the pedestal and make
yourself easy of conquest, I don't
blame the average man.
II believe there Is a race yet to
appear which will be as far superior
in morals to US as we are superior
to the morals in the days of Julius
Caesar, but that race will never ap-
marry God-fearing girls and the on
spring are God-fearing.
Culture will never save the world.
If these miserable human vampires
who feed and fatten upon the virtue
of womanhood can get off with i'm
punity; nay, more, to be feasted and
petted and coddled by society. we
might as well back-pedal out and
sink in shame, for we can never see
to the heights nor command the re-
spect of the great and good.
What paved the way for the down.
fall of the mightiest dynasty-proud
and doughty Greece-and imperial
Rome? The downfall of their woman
hood. The virtue OF womanhood is
the rampant wall Of American, ,civiliza-
ton. Break that down and with the
stones thereof you can pave your way
to the hottest hell and reeking vice
and corruption. tell you society
that makes a distinction between the
man who does wrong and the girl
when she does wrong is beneath my
notice. I would not spit on it. You
know there are a multitude of places
right here in this community that are
