AMERICANS ARE POTENl
IN SUCCESSES

German armies being inexorably pushed
back he is losing confidence in his lead
ers. While the same thing has happened
at home.
These three combinations according to
this officer, are directly responsible for
the advances.
AsL4d what he foresaw in the German
strategy to this time the officer de-
clared that as far as it is now seen, the
German is retiring against his will with
out going back to points from which
he might gain an advantage. 1t was
originally thought he would try TO make
a stand OH the Hindenburg line, but he
has been robbed of this opportunity.
Where he will try TO stop is unknown.
General Foch holds the cards, how
ever, and probably only winter can stem
the allied onrush.
Meantime, there is much talk that
there will soon be fresh outburst ON
quiet sector of the line and that the
Americans will be seen in dash com
parable to the recent British and
French successes.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
:, Washington, Sept. g." American eat

100000 is the real answert the ease
where with the Germans have been
pressed back since the Marne combat.
This in substance is the view point Of
a prominent staff officer today in ans
wer to the oft-repeated question, "why
is it, that the German who had never
tasted a real disaster, is now being
shunted back almost at will?"
AS outlined to the correspondent the
reasons are three
Numerical superiority Of the allies,
attained by America S accelerated troop
movement program. This permitted the
stopping of the German blow at Cha
teau Thierry and follow up operations
which have now developed almost to the
point of German rout and smash up.
2-American enthusiasm-"pep.
This is characterized by the "let S
go' attitude of every soldier in the
United States army. The American is o
sportsman. He loves competition. He
not only wants to show that he can beat
the German, but he wants to demon
stratv that he equals Or exeells the
French and British. he is cheerful. All
that had an immediate reflex with the
British and French. They accumulated
the spirit of invincibility and their
smashes took on the irresistible spirit Of
themselves.
3-Lowcred German morale. The
German, as this officer pointed out, is
good fighter when fed on victories,
but neither able Or game in losing
fight. He had believed his officers were

Road Commission
Is Highly Praised
4 By Samuel Hill

For the purpose of preaching the
pleasures of the open road and wonders
of nature to be found by touring Ore
gon, Lee L. Gilbert, distributor of the
Elgin ear, left 10 days ago for tour in
his Elgin six. Gilbert carries with him
films showing the natural wonders of
Oregon Because Of reports as to road
conditions and the steep grades en-
countered on mountain trips, many mo-
torists have an idea that a trip to our
mountain fastnesses is to be feared.
Those who have made these trips know
that such is not the case and that the
roads in the surrounding country are in
good condition. Gilbert expects to
make thorough canvass of Eastern
Oregon gathering data which he hopes
will be useful to motor enthusiasts.
