for the destruction of these outlaw

THE navy is and has been the back
bone of the war, the same as 1T has
been of almost every great war in his

Ships now are operating across the

WANT NO FARLEY
American Soldiers in France
Prefer Fight.
Only Fear Is That Peace May
Come Too Soon.

With the Americans on the Metz
front. Sept. 1S.-President Wilson's
sharp reply to Austria clearly reflects
the sentiments OF the American army
toward peace negotiations.
From the highest generals to the
lowest doughboys, the determination
is to whip the boches soundly. The
only fear expressed since July is that
the Germans may escape a licking by
some trick.
The Austrian proposal is regarded
as such a trick-the first. squeal from
the central powers diplomats. the
same as the boche squeals when he
faces a bayonet.
The American soldier is determined
to get on German soil. In other words,
the army spirit is to fight to a knock
