British army contingents. ..
A dispatch from Reuters correspond
ent at Bonn states that during the past
week German civil authorities at Bonn
oonfscated all supplies of meat, with a
view to placing the population on rations.
This did not affect the British troops,
which are being fed by their own com
missary department, but allied soldiers
who had come into town from outlying
stations were disappointed when they
went to any of the hotels and ordered
dinner.
Canadian soldiers, the correspondent
states, found Bonn an interesting place,
although not so important as Cologne,
the nerve center of the British army of
occupation. The home of Beethoven is
still standing at Bonn, and the dispatch
says;

WAR DEVELOPED
DRAMATIC PHRASES
"They Shall Not Pass" Was One of the
Most Striking, 1t Having Been
Used By the French at
Vnrd11u

New York, Jan. 27.--The war has de-
veloped many dramatic phrases, slogans,
terse epigrams, or laconc statements.
Looking back over the perspective Of
four wears of fighting it appears that the
majority Of these grew out of tense crises
in battles, or marked historic moments
when the fate Of nations hung in the bal
ance
Take for example the slogan, "They
shall not pass" During the tremendous
fighting in front of Verdun when the
Germans made their great desperate
drive to break through the French battle
lines in 1916 this saying passed from lip
to lip among the French soldiers gath
cred there in long-drawn battle to
check the terrific onslaught of the Ger
mans. How it originated is not clear
Some have attributed it to Marshal
Joffre, others to Marshal Petain, who
was in command of the French fighting
forces at Verdun. Others believe the
saying originated with the men in the
ranks. At any event they adopted it
and for months while the Germans vainly
threw their battalions upon the stub
bornly defended forts around the French
city, the saying, "They shall not pass
became the watchword at Verdun, And
they did not pass.
To Americans the sententious utter
ance of General Pershing when he placed
a wreath on the tomb of Lafayette in
the Picpus cemetery in Paris conveyed a
significance and an inspiration. 'Lafay-
cite, we are here" was all he said, but
to the American as we'll as to the French
man it was better than oratory. II
meant to the American, I'VE are here
for business and our business is to fight "
IL thrilled the hearts of General Per-
shing's people at home and the modesty
of it filled them with a glow of satisfac-
ton.
Another dramatic phrase which stirred
the patriotism of the American people
was that attributed to an American com
mander at Chateau Thierry when he re-
sponded to the advice of French com
manders to retreat by declaring: "The
American flag has been compelled to re-
