The amazing fact is thatt hey keep ona s long as they did without any apparent lessening of peace. After the first bit the element of surprise is lacking, and there is an opportunity for the enemy to get his artillery into shape for defense 3esides this, pushing drives the into some of those “strate- ms previously prepared’! ike so well to talk about. ence in this case is that the strategic requirements were unfor- seen and undesired. But the fact re- that the is pushed the stronger his de- become. The Hindenburg line was planned to hold against any assaults. It was} not meant to be held by crumblinjy, hungry, dissatisfied lines‘of Germans t waxing, well-fed, victorious and no imagination of Hind- could have pictured the cir- cumstances under which it must this ime be defended. It must yield at fast But it will doubtless require hard fighting to smash it. Beyond that, there are probab- any miles of territory which the} Germans thought they would never! need to defend. Once through that} Hindenburg line, the eleventh-hour defense of the Hun will be likely to succumb pretty easily for a long dis- tance. ; When it comes to the borders” 6f Germany, the most difficult period must be expected. No longer fight- ing for vague territorial accessions and places in the sun, the Germans will have their backs to the wall. They will be defending their native land. Even a cowardly animal like the Hun will fight hard to protect his home—or at least brave men pre- sume he will. No one expects that this point can be reached this year. And consider- ation shows the doubtedly right in demanding four million men. With them once in the line, there can be no question of the final outcome. 0. THE PEACE DRIVE The month just passed has been the Allies’ best in four years. Between id-July and August 15 the French, British, Italians and Americans have taken 73,000 prisoners and more than 1,700 guns, and they have freed from a brutal invader more than 1,- 800 square miles of fertile, though wasted soil. These figures represent the great- est Allied gains in any month since) the war began, and they are rightly hailed in four capitals as evidence that the numerical superiority and the preponderant resources of those nations in league against autocracy are at lats bringing the results for which civilization prays. The Allies are out to win, and they are win- ning because they have pooled their at Mr. Slayden ha shown apy lack of loyalty to the country since it en- th: tered the war. Nor could it be shown | PILLAGING 5 that Mr. Slayden has played the part | of an obstructionist.

The News is quite) sure that the predilections and faults} of Mr. Slayden, whatever they are, are not more menacing to the public ‘welfare than is the idea that the President may properly use the nower of his office and his own per- sonal prestige to proscribe a mem- her of Congress who has incurred his lispleasure of one of his Cabinet of- ficers.

He succeeded Gen- eral Maurice. He meets with the reporters twice | tells all about the latest movements of the Allied armies thruout the) world. The duke is a most democratic chap. There isn’t any question he wont’ answer. A blackboard, a cane, maps of all battle fronts, and-a shorthand report- er are the duke’s equipment for these 1ewspaper conferences. | By all the rules of the game over! here, the duke is entitled to be ad-| dressed as “Your Grace.” | An American correspondent shocked } jan official the other day when he in-} yuired if the duke had arrived to see} |the newspapermen. | | “Oh, I say, you musn’t call him just} | duke,” remonstrated the official. “It’s | His Grace, you must say.” | The American appeared crestfallen at such a blunder, hut was restored to normal a second later when a slap} on the shoulder brought him about face to the Duke who had heard the \tonversation and was laughing. { resources, have submitted to a com- mon military command and a com- mon naval policy. The Germans, in this same month, have lost no less than 350.000 fight- ing men by wounds and death, and have been compelled to abandon enormous quantities of war material of every kind. They are on the de- fensive now, and Foch intends ‘that they.shall never win that initiative of which his blow at Chateau Thierry robbed them. These are the reasons for the meeting of the emperors at German main headquarters. Another peace drive is due. Civilians in France and Great Britain, Italy and America) chicken bunt: should make sure that this peace drive is as futile as the recent Ger- man drive on Paris proved to be. | Eee | THE PRESIDENT’'S UNFORTU-| NATE BLUNDER | Nothing the President has done or) is likely to do can be so embarrass-; ing to his friends in Texas as is his} action in having put Mr. Slayden un-! der the fatal ban of the prestige of his office and of his own merited) popularity. The News feels no con- cern in the political fortunes of Mr. Slayden. But it does feel a deep con- cern in the fame of the President) and in the principles of the Govern-| ment of which he is the head, and both of these have been madet o suf- fer by his action. The President can hardly suppose the people fo Texas will believe that the reesons which he gave for mak- ing his pronouncement against Mr. Slayden” make the whole motive of his action. It is ri diculous to say, Which is one of the “Come in,”’.he said to the Amer- lican, leading the way to the report-} fers’ room. | Now the Duke is one of the ‘gang.’ YOUTH LOST ON CHICKEN HUNT ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Aug. |—Audry Johnson, a young man 17 {years old, and living on East Flat, |spent last Sunday night wandering over White Mountain. Young John- }son and two companions left town on | Saturday evening for an over-Sunday They camped over night at Four Mile Springs and on Sunday spent the day bunting thru the canons on the mountain. Jolin- son’s two companions returned to town on Sunday evening, but when he failed to show up during the night, search was made for him. During the night Johnson win- dered from Pilot Butte to within a mile and a half of Green River, when he returned and retraced his steps north, almost to Fourtcen Mile. When he reached the rim of the mountain, near Fourteen Mile, he suw the lights Reliance and made his way to the railroad track, where he f'agged a train and returned to Rock Springs about 10 o’clock on Meaday musning. — Zach Wheat of the MDrooklyn Dodgers is certainly having a ban- ner year in hitting.
