Service to Allies Praised
by Gen. March.
NO SPREAD-EAGLE. TALK
IN MILITARY PROGRAM
Task for America Between Now and
June, 1919. Based on Cold Blood
ed View of Department.

That the number of troops embark
ed for service abroad has now passed
the /. 500, 900 mark was the announce
ment made by Gen. March. chief of
staff, in his talk with the newspaper
men today. He took occasion to pay
high tribute to the effectiveness of
the service of the men on the battle
front and it's value to the allies.
He said that all reports coming
TO Washington speak of the splendid
work of these men and of their en-
thusiastic confidence in the cause for
which they are fighting and the sue
cessful outcome of the war.
People Here Ought to Be Proud.
The American people. Gen. March
said. have every reason to feel proud
of the American soldiers and to have
unbounded confidence in them In
every case. he said, they have de-
livered the goods
Gen. March said that the recent
opinion he expressed before the mill
tary committees of the House and
Senate as to the military program of
this country between now and June.
1919, was the cold -blooded military
view of the War Department, based
upon knowledge of conditions and to
be accepted by the country not as
spread eagle talk but as the firm
conviction of the military authorities.
Officers Confidence in Men.
In discussing the confidence Ameri-
can officers have in their men, Gen.
March referred to reports made to
him personally by American officers
returning from France to take higher
rank in new divisions. One of these
described an action in which an
american division captured sixty
eight German guns and brought them
back at the rear of Army trucks.
Commenting upon the militry situa-
tion the chief of staff pointed out
that since last Wednesday the French
advance has Continued from the
plateau overlooking Noyon down to

tured $500 prisoners. Another Ameri-
can division in a single action took

south of Arras. Rapidly advancing
tie British reached a depth of three
miles, but their progress has been
held up by German counter attacks.
The railroad to Arras still is in Ger
man hands. according to latest OFF,
cial advices, and the Germans are util-
iZing largely in their defense the
railway embankments.
The British thrust Thursday in the
Albert section resulted in an impor-
tant advance between the Ancre and
the Somme rivers, which. Gen. March
said. has developed new salient.
The rest of the line since Wednes-
day has been reasonably quiet. he
said, the allied activities being con-
fined to .'nibbling" tactics and artil-
lery fire.

THESE BE AMERICANS.

Here is story that correspondent with the German
army sent to one Of the German papers:
MANY Americans were killed by artillery fire in the
streets of the village of Secheprey their bodies barring
the way of the advancing German troops who had to
drive the Americans from houses gardens and cellars
But then the Americans continued to fight so ten
acously that they were nearly all killed"
Is there man, chold old enough to know
who has American blood in his or her veins whose heart
does not throb with pride upon reading this? Fighting
until their bodies blocked the streets Fighting on until
they nearly all illed That is the old American
fighting spirit That is the spirit that was behind the
long rifles at Bunker Hill and kept Washngtons army in
camp during that awful winter at Valley Forge 1t was
this spirit that enabled the American marines in half an
hours fighting the ship Constitution to disable the
Guerrero and win the respect of the world for the Amer
lean navy This spirit enabled Andrew Jackson with his
5000 woodsmen to beat back twice their number at New
Orleans; it made the Civil war terrific struggle be-
in it Americans met Americans it sent Dewey into
Manila Bay and it will bring victory to the arms Of cvi-
cation in this against Hun Barbarism. These be
Americans They are the men for whom America is
pouring her billions Of wealth and for whom she will
If necessary, pour out billions more.

LARGER ARMY NEEDED.

No matter how long the war may last there is grow
ing belief among our wsest statesmen that America
should proceed in the peedes possible time to raise
army Of 100000 men and transport it rapidly
shipping facilities will permit with due attention to
transport Of equally vital supplies. The great German
drive is aimed at 1t designed to weaken destroy
the British Army and bleed France white before full
strength is available Even partaIs success would put
Germany in position to offer peace tOlerably salts
factory on the west but leaving Germany immense adj
vantages in the east.
Charles E. Hughes vigorously sounded the alarm in
speech before the American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION in New York the other evening, saying; "The
way to strike terror to the German heart to make it
realize the inevtableness of defeat is for the United
States c rush its preparations scale adequate to
victory" This declaration accompanied by the approval
of the suggestion for the immediate raising of army
of 100000 men, followed this graphic description of
the situation:
Our allies are holding the western line with grim de-
termination They have held this ineOur line-bertys
line the line Of world of freedom, of law, of decency
the line Of all that is left Of civilization opposed to
cynical force to unparalleled brutality, ofendish per-
version of science to the disregard of everything sacred
and humane-our allies are holding this line awaiting
our arrival They have been holding bloody virgil They
have more dead in France than shall have there living
in arms for many months to come. But we coming
Our forces are growing daily We are not living in retro
spect Our faces are toward France and the future If
there was ever any doubt duty opportunity there
is certainly none now. Germanys only hope is that we
shall falter, but we will not falter.
Mr.. Hughes voiced the enlightened opinion of the
country in his nstence the kind OF victory that the
good of the world requires:
1t is not the measure of high calling to win stall
mate to gather force merely to hold line of trench
es peace with the German Army on the soil of
France with Germany temporarily exhausted by not beat
en- cannot be lasting peace with Germany, leaving the
German Empire through l-gotten gains stronger rea-
lively than when it entered the war; with national
seriousness that its policy is brutality Of disregard of
treaties, Of vast military preparation, has larger
international opportunity, would be nothing but German
peace whatever concessions might be made in the west
The only hope of enduring peace lies in making this
war improbable to Germany that the German people
will be completely cured of the mania that brought
the colossal struggle struggle Without Americas part
done The sooner we exert our full strength the prompt
er and the less expensive the victory for usSt Louis

FOR rRELAND's GOOD.

1t is difficult for Americans to understand the argu
ment that CONSUMPTION in Great Britain should apply
to Ireland OF course there is the ready rectal Of ire
lands wrongs which will be made IN reply-but surely
that is not the present question If Germany wins this
war; Ireland viii not have home rule or anything like il;
while the parliament which proposes make conscrpon
apply to Ireland offers at the time measure Of self
which will undoubtedly be extended in its
terms Ireland demonstrates its capacity for its use
One might well say that CONSUMPTION in the United
States shall not apply to Alaska Porto Rico to say
that CONSUMPTION in Great Britain shall be made exclusive
of ireland.

WHY IS A FUEL ADMINISTRATIONS

And still they wrangng the price of coal It
is nearly year since Harry Garfield was appointed
fuel administrator he appointed state administrators and
they in turn appointed district administrators the country
has been laid off in and there has been much said
about price fixing but somehow the prices don't get fixed
If there is place in the country that the
know what price for coal they depend upon heng
upheld by the fuel administration haven't heard of it.
There is continual wrangling places while in other
places the consumers just hold up their hands and submit
to beng robbed The fuel administration is screaming to
us to "buy coal now" but when go to buy we don't
find the price quoted anything the published price
of the administration. Why is a Fuel Administration
anyhow?
