You cheer the boys till out Of sight,
You cheer them out of hearing:
The war would never last the night
II wars were won by cheering.
But some must die to win war.
While all must work q plenty.
And all must help to pay the score;
80 buy bond-or twenty.
You love the dear old Stars and Stripes
And all that lies below it?
A patriot?-of course you are!
And now's the time to show 1t.
So when you're wasteful thing again
OF those who fight out yonder,
And buy a bond. or maybe ten.
With what you used to squander.
Let not the nation call in vain
For all the force within you
Your best Of heart and soul and brain,
Your strength of Drawn and sinew!
And work and save to aid, at need,
The fight of every freeman;
The silver bullet that you speed
Shall lay the foes war demon

LONDON, April S.-Frederick Wiiham
Vile, formerly of Chicago and no"
with Northcliffe's Daily Mail, gives
synopsis today of what the German
people are being told about the great
battle on the western front. Mr.. Wiles $
present duty in London is to examine
the enemy press from day to day. he
says:
by far the most significant state
ment / have encountered since the pat
tie began is this observation, in the
Frankfurter Zeitung, which is exceed
ingly close to Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff: The enemy must not blame US
for undertaking this offensive for the
purpose of ending the war as soon, as
we wish to do so now that we nave the
strength to achieve the object? Is II
weakness if ouc high command is IN
position to attack now instead OF ia.er el
on, when the American Army IS 1uiiy
mobilized in France@
There is an inclination in certain
quarters to minimize the extent 10
which American Intervention in the
war impelled Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff to strike now. but between the
lines in the German newspapers LOT
months, and not only between the lines,
but in the lines themselves, there mas
been constant and ample indication
that the menace of Pershing's gather
ing forces has been omnipresent IN
the calculations of the German general
staff.
What the Germans otherwise are be-
ing told about their thrust for Amiens,
Paris and the channel ports can be
summarized as follows: First, that the
greatest battle of the war is in prog
ress: second. that Germany's victory
represents the triumph of German
mind over allies matter: third. that
Great Britain has suffered the heaviest
defeat in her military history; fourth.
that Germany's victory has not been as
dearly bought as her enemies allege,
casualties; fifth, that it IS NOT the
kaiser's battle. as the supreme war lord
grandiloQuently proclaimed, out ex-
c1usively Ludendorff's affair, the quar-
termaster general having the final de-
cision in everything; sixth. that the
British soldier has not been beaten. his
defeat being exclusively due to poor
British generalship; seventh. that the
recovery within few days of territory
which the allies took as many months
to conquer and hold, now reveals the
real meaning of the Hindenburg re-
treat in 1917; eighth. that the battle
represents the Quintessence Of all the
experiecne derived on all the fronts dur
ing the last three and half years;
ninth. that the German success was un-
Questionably due to the infinite care
with which every detail was worked
out in advance; tenth. that Britain's
fatal error was in thinking that the po-
sitions Gen. Haig had so long held were
invulnerable and failing on that ac-
count to have adequate prepared posi-
tions in case Of retreat; eleventh. that
the element Of surprise on which Hin
denburg and Ludendorfr counted ma
terialized.
This is the kind of pabulum tie Ger
man authorities consider suitable for
the German public"

Shells Fall on Path.

Bringing up water is extremely diff
cult. Over the frozen and slippery cob
blestone pathway we went. frequently
stumbling and sometimes spilling part
of our precious load-in which case we
had to return to the base and load the
donkey over again-down through the
communicating trenches. up to our
knees in mud we stumbled and strug-
gled with our patient beasts, till. some
how or other. we reached our appoint
ed goal. No sinecure this, as / can tell
you. At night again we repeated the
same thing. 1t was harder at night
and the enemy was far more active.
Sometimes a donkey would get caught
between two trees and would try to
remove the load from his back; at
others the old girth would give way

THE anniversary of Americas entry

of President Wilson at Baltimore and
OF the foreign secretary and the Ameri-
can ambassador at London breathed the
same spirit of absolute conviction and
unconquerable resolve. They meet the
last peace offensive of the enemy by an
uncompromising refusal to credit his
professions so long as his acts stand in

IN THE TRENCHES

H. M. Swanson, Of Warren, writes, a
friend on the Sheaf printing force a
letter from France dated Aug. %, from
which we Gull the following extracts:
| II am beginning to receive the Sheaf
regularly now. - II understand you
are a member Of Warren's illustrious
| Home Guard and suppose you are a
bet you fellows look nifty in tailor
made uniforms. They are not so par
tcular in the army. and you should see
the fits some Of us get when we get
new clothing.

there will be quiteSa bunch.
''WesWer issued raZOrs couple of
weeks ago Autos trops. We should
have gotten them before coming over
but we left in too much of the hurry, I
think
II see by the Sheaf that fellows like
you and the store clerks, ETC., will have
to help in the harvest fields this year.
"We're back in reserve again just
! got back from the front line day before
yesterday. We move every six days
six in Reserve, six in Support and six
in the Front line trenches. They are
all trenches, but Of course you can take
it easier farther back.
"We're getting good food and plenty
of it, so can't kick now. What bothers
us is, how long will it last?' What is
the opinion over there? 1t will last
this winter from all indications. We
have been hoping to be home for Christ
mas, but have given it up now.''
