With the American Army in France,
Friday, June THE recent German
activities in the vicinity of Metz have
aroused discussion among the Amer
lean expeditionary forces as to the
possibility OF an attack in the Woe
vre region The neighborhood Of ST.
Mihiel, with its sharp salient, offers
the logical point for a German attack
from a tactical point of view. 1t might
have the triple object of menacing
Bar lie Due, outflanking Verdun from
the rear and elimination of the sail
ent which has it's apex at Verdun. For
the moment, perhaps permanently, the
Allies have stopped the Germans at
the Marne. Many tactical engage
ments may be expected, even if the
Germans decide it is useless to con-
tinue their efforts along the Marine
and elect to hit the Allied line else
where. Another place the Americans
are likely to see more fighting is in
the Montdidier sector.

The Fighting Irish
r.
By N0RREYS JEPHSON O'CONoR
Of The pigi0nfeS

Where are the fighting Irish? This
question has often been asked I'm the
past few months by those who have
continually wondered that Irishmen
could traffic with Germans and, under
the name of Sim Fein, endanger civil
li2ation. Those who complain thus
have forgotten that noble band of
lrlshmen and Irishwomen which has
been supporting the war since August,
1914. Officers and men Of the Irish
Guards, the Connaught Rangers the
Munster and Dublin Fusiiers. and of
other Irish regiments, have contrib
utea some of the most distinguished
pages of the history of the war by
sheir deeds OF valor, not to speak of
the achievements of men of Irish
birth and traditions in other regiments
from Great Britain and from oyersens.
The name of the Irish Guards will
ever be associated with the retreat
from Mons, rs the names of the Nun
ster and Dublin Fusiliers will be asso-
clatcd with GallipOl.
1t Is not too much to say that the
most noted IriShmcn In every walk of
life have been supporting the war and
have not been connected with the
plans and purposes Of the Sim Fcin
group. Lord Ardce, heir OF the Earl
Of Meath, the famous commander of
the irish Guards, and the Earl of
Kingston, who, though seriously
wounded returned to the trenches, are
typical of the long list Of gentlemen
well-snOwn in Irish society who in
four years of war have found the from
tiers of Ireland facing the German in
vader. Lord Dunsany, the most talk
ed,of Irish writer today, has been with
the Inniskilling Fusillers since the out
break of hostilities; his prOtege, Fran
els Ledwidge, the Meath peasant poet,
who has won permanent place In
Irish letters, was lance corporal I'm
Lord Dunsany's regiment and fell In
action year ago. Major William
Redmond, member of parliament. and
the witty Tom Kettle, professor of
economics In the National university
In Dublin, both gave their lives for
the allied cause. Lieutenant Kettle

Nothing Is more astonishing thnn tho

necessary to turn To the savage races

OF the island peoples of the Pacific

What Is the meaning of the belief
that frightening people can serve
against the allies? A German profes-
