CAN GERMANY FIND AWAY?

moval of the German menace to civil
zation. We know that is coming one
day not so far away, but constant man
Hesitation of confidence on the part
of French leaders, although marvellous,
borders on the pathetic. Every time
they speak Of their chances, they men
ton the help that America is going to
render.
The brave French are a lesson in
pluck They ought to spur us and fire
us with enthusiasm, and indeed they
do. The Huns never got such punish
ment in all their history as the French
have inflicted in this war, and yet
and yet these murderers are able to
to grasp more French soil this late
in the conflict. 1t has been our strong
est hope that some day the French
would be able to rout them and drive
them headlong into perdition.
1t isn't right to Illuminate" on what
would happen were America not to
render the assistance upon which the
valiant French are so much depending
our effort must he everything that q
great nation can do. 1t is quite GER
tain that we are doing much. 1t is also
very certain that time means all to
the Allies. United States troops, ship
and airpanes, together with great
stores of supplies are being rushed
to France and the longer the Teutons
permit us to work, the stronger must
our cause be in the west.
The present, il all signs point true,
is our darkest hour. The armies c,
France, England and the United
States combined are soon to show
themselves at their best 1t need not
be argued that England and France
are conquered. 1t better be said that
Germany is more nearly on her knees
than any of them, for this is true.
Time will put American soldiers and
supplies on the front in such numbers
as to help the Allies outnumber the
Germans Whenever that is true, it
may well be said that the cause is
saved. But while we wait doesn't the
time seem ages?
There should be no Impotence.
Such news accounts as those coming
now regarding the effective fighting
of Americans on the main battle front
are indeed bracing Many a gloomy
Gus pricked up his ears and read with
interest There is indeed enough in
what the Americans did to excite
new interest. Glance again over these
lines:
Americans rushed forward and des-
troyed the hastily erected machine
gun positions ON the edge of the woods
Continuing their advance, they en-
gagged the Germans at close quarters
and cleared them entirely from their
positions, driving them back on the
rnined village

fierceness of Allied machine gun fire,
French and American troops, fight
