I felt impelled to write that para

Early in the war a very rabid
attack was made by the editor OF
a paper called John Bull on
everyone with a German name in
our army. He pilloried amongst
others-just at sight and in order

THE NEW DAWN OF GERMANY
Engnd Famous Hadan McFar Inspiration Americas Germans

Under the heading BE Worthy OF
the High Praise. we quoted in one
our issues some time ago from Major
Haldane McFan's book. Germany
at Bay" the following:
Before any attempt is made 10
arrive at the German PSYCHOLOGY.
II Is essential 20 remove one par
ficular source or error from the
mind. To Judge Of Germany by the
German OF America. or the German
who has shaken the dust OF Prus-
STA from his feet is puerile. There
Is no more grossly misunderstood
man in the world than the
German In America. All that was
best in the old German has left
Germany with him; and whilst he
naturally has a sentimental love
fer the land that bred him he is
probably as blind as the new psy-
chology and strategy OF Germany
as any living man. To judge Ger
many by this fine type is sheer
madness"
Major McFall has read the words
which our friend DIT. Sihler Of Cleve-
land had addressed to the Americans
OF German descent In general TAX
ing the above from the majors

fire had opened on the battalions at
the right and were Smelling the main
body. Co. H was ruled disorganized
and out Of control and Capt. Martin
was ordered to use every effort to
where a sacrifice stand was TO be
made. With considerable skill he got
the men in hand and with Co. G, dug
in. Co. X (Brunswick) commanded

gaps in the line. Co. withdrew I'M

and the firing became SO fierce that
Co. H was annihilated, Co. X and
Co. suffering great losses. Having
delayed the enemy the full amount
Of time, the battalion was ordered
back to camp, its mission having been
accomplished. The command was
successful in it's operations but badly
shot to pieces. For purposes of in

Major Pepper was full of situations
novel, unexpected and at times ex-
citing and called for every resource
of the officers and non commissioned

THIRD maine BOYS Leave TODAY
after 15-DAY TOUR, CAMP KEYES

Again Friday morning the boys Of
the Srd Maine Infantry who are on
duty at Camp Keyes awoke to find
that the disagreeable stretch of rainy
weather had not ceased. Clouds how
cred over the parade ground and the
camp presented very dismal as
pect indeed. The boys were soon
out. however, full Of pep" and good
spirits ready for the days work. The
various battalions organized for a
rainy day program. The End Bat
talon was FESTIVE and anxious 10 get
into active duty, aAdr moved early
from camp under the command of
Major Harold l.. Pepper of Water
vile, who had prepared a problem
for them. When the battalion had
reached Western avenue the Major
advised the company commanders
that an enemy in force was in o line
stretching from Winthrop to Halo
we'll and Gardiner and was making
forced attack upon Camp Reyes
where valuable stories were dumped.
Several hours were required to move
the stores and the End Battalion had
for its mission to move aggressively
toward the enemy, establish contact,
engage and delay them for FIVE hours
with no discretionary powers to the
company commanders. Capt. Thomas
Of Co. q (Waterville). took the adj
vance party and moved out in a very
military manner, followed by the
main body with proper liason. When
the advance party had moved along
the road a considerable distance they
were fired upon by machine guns on
the left Of the Muster Field and a
runner was sent to carry the news
to the battalion commander. Major
Pepper ordered Capt. Thomas to clean
out the nest and who did so, then
pressed forward to the junction Of
Western avenue and Winthrop street.
The extreme advance point reported
and tried to make a stand but were
forced back. To make the develop
ment OF the problem more profitable
to the men, Major Pepper ruled that
Co. G (Waterville) was routed in
disorder. Capt. Thomas was ordered
to have his men passed to the rear,
rally and take a position near the
rifle range road and to hold it to the
last man.
The enemy became more vigorous
in their attacks and forced Co. K
back slowly, which was supported in
the first line by Co. H (August&1,
commanded. by Capt. Burleigh Martin,
and which was forced to retire to a
stronger position. Major Pepper was
instructor and umpire and ruled that
the battalion could not hold its posi-
ton and Co. (Lewiston) under the
command of Lieut.. NORM was or
dered to pass through the companies
in front Of him and occupy the mill
