London, July 22—Germany’s break- down in her list offensive proves to; military observers that the allies CAN smash the German lines and push the HUNS back to their own border. There is no basis for this pessimis tic view. If the present German tactics had been used in 1914 the Germans could never have been stopped at the ‘Marne; they could have swept all northern France to the sea. Germany's present tactics have fail- ed because allied tactics have de- veloped faster than have those of the HUN, ‘man drives now begin at points 50 miles or more behind the battle line. Divisions move forward on a clocklike schedule, now faster, now slower, at the same time keeping up a wheel-like revolving movement so that the divisions moving the fastest pass those which are slowing down for a rest, and those which are res ed gradually march again and quick- en their pace until they in turn are passing those now due for a short re- spite. “Leapfrogging,” the allies have nam- ed this German trick. At the same time the HUNS have developed wonderfully the-art of cam- ouflaging ‘moving troops. The combination of perfected cam- ouflage and the “leapfrog” march ac- counts for the Hunnish ability to move grent masses of troops to the actual line wituout being spotted by allied airmen. The German drives are so arranged that picked “storm troops” hit the al- Ved line with great momentum; thesé are followed by other fresh troops with specialized duties, such as “in- filtration” companies armed with ma- chine guns !troops specially trained to ciean out “nests” of combatants pass- ed by the infiltrators. and then troops | Prepared to occupy and defend cap- tured positions. It is still considered likely that the HHUNS will attack again, probably near Amiens ,and the Franco-Ameri- can counter offensive is not to he un- derstood as the beginning of an allied drive. | avy Wot s.——— CALLIOPE OUT OF TUNE.

E. A. Stait Correspondent.) Washington, D. C., July 22.—Sena- tor Borah says he intends to help Secretary McAdoo and President Wil- son to get their eight billion dollars revenue bill from the excess profits and the unearned incomes. This was his purpose in asking reports on this subject from the federal trade com- mission and treasury department. “I have had so far only prelimi- nary reports from both sources,” said the senator. “They are. however, very helpful, particularly the report made by the federal trade commission under the direction of W. B. Colver. There is no reason for bearing heay- ily on consumption when revenue can be raised without interfering with pro- duction or taxing unnecessarily the consuming public.

In those very acts against which many a parson in his home pulpit shot his brimstone oratory, he now gladly participates. He is becoming what every parson should be—most engagingly human. One Sunday not long ago a Y. M. C. A. secretary met a’ Methodist preacher, also a secretary, going across a French field, with a baseball bat under one arm, a large bundle of cigarettes under the other, and a Bible sticking out of his pocket. ‘The parson stopped, somewhat embar- rassed. 5 “I don’t know,” he stammered, “whether you will understand this. It isn’t quite orthodox, you know. [ am afraid my congregation would not understand, and I. know my bishop wouldn't, but somehow (he dropped the, bat and put his hand over his heart), somehow something. in here tella me that if it isn’t orthodox it is all right anyhow.” That preacher, going forth to man- age a ball game on Sunday afternoon, was keeping more*men in the right path in those three or four hours than possibly fn any equal number of years PROFITS TO | | this matter of raising revenué and my | resolution was introduced in pursu- ance of the statement made by the; President in his address to congress ‘on May 27, when he said that informa- | tion in regard to profiteering was in- disputable and available.
