DEAD TOWN VERY

There is nothing deader than a dead
town. Try as hard as 1t may to con-
ceal the facts, the truth is written all
over 1t so that he who runs may read.
No camouf1age of bluff and buster can
conceal the true situation from anyone
who comes within the limits Of the
community. A dead town is dead and
that's all there is to 1t.
The worst of it is that once a town
dies it stays dead. There have been
exceptional cases in which dead towns
have been revived, have taken on new
life and prospered, but these are mere
~ the exceptions that prove the rule.
The fact that a town can seldom
come back is easily explained. The
growing and prosperous town today
is the one that can attract new resi-
dents and new capital. 1t is one that
can offer attractive inducements for
the location of new industries. The
dead town offers no attraction to out
side capital. A man looking for a
place to launch a new business or q
new location for an old industry, Is
not going to pick out a dead town.
He Is going to select a town In which
money is plentiful, a town whose bust
ness men are progressive and whose
residents, as a whole, are prosperous
and cOntented. There are too many
live and thriving towns In the world
for a man to risk his future In one
that is dead. This is the reason that
a town, Once dead, almost always re-
mains dead.
Town Like Corporation.
There Is just one ;aing, ordinarily,
that kills q town In the first place and
that Is q lack Of money. A town is
just like a corporation and the money
possessed by Its inhabitants is its cap
ital. If this capital Is depleted the
town will fail just as the corporation,
whose capital Is depleted through poor
management or other causes, fails.
And just as the corporation which has
once failed can seldom retrieve its lost
fortunes, the town which has failed
cannot often "come back"
The capital Of a community is. de-

Skillful use of French cavalry has
marked Gen Foch's tactics ever since
he took over control of the allied ar
mics as supreme commander, accord
ing to information reaching military
circles in Washington. The employ
ment of the swift-moving mounted
columns in--the commensurate from
the Aisne-Marne line has been noted.
Gen. Foch took advantage of the great
mobility of the mounted army to
throw them in wherever his advanc-
ing infantry units threatened to lose
touch with each other in the contest.
No gaps have been left where the en-
envy might strike back. for always the

GERMANY IS BEATEN
TO KNEES ADMITS
N|LHAR|sh DEFEATED
Day OF War Found Ger
mans Trapped Beyond
All Hope.
Ry ]. w. 2. Mason

New York, Nov. The end of the
war has come with the German army
beaten TO its knees and compelled to ac-
cept unconditional surrender. The fin
al day of hostilties found one-half the
German troops in France trapped south
of the Ardennes by the brilliant effen-
sive of the American army which clos
ed the Luxembourg way Of retreat and
captured Sedan n a series of remark
able drives extending over the final
week of the conflict.
The Prussian military machine has
been broken beyond possibility of re-
pair during the retreat of the past four
months. The German surrender is not
due primarily to the desertion of Ger.
many by her allies but to the fact that
the forces of democracy arrayed against
her on the western front have over
thrown the German armies ON the field
of battle.
The day of surrender sees the kaiser s
great forces so ~entangled in the meshes
of their own retirement as to make it
impossible for them ever to have reacIr
ed the German frontier except as o
remnant. Marshal Foeh' 5 extraordinar-
lily successful strategy since mid-sum-
mer has now reaped its fruit.
Had the war continued, it would in
reality have become a massacre. The
Germans have lost such frightful cas-
%ualties in their effort to get out of
France and Belgium, as has threatened
humiliation of all of Germany mil
itary manpower. There is no truth in
the reports that the last phase of the
war has shown the Germans as masters
of the art of retreat.
Their effort to reach their own ter
ritory in such big haste has been a fail
ure. Won Hindenburg wa only half way
out and unable to make the rest of the
way with any army fit to defend the
Rhine.
The German defeats complete, over
whelming, obliterating. No more will
be heard of the military invincibility
of Prussia.
