THE CONTAGICN OF VICTORY The whcl= world bas been struck with the new fighting spirit shown by the French and British army in the past month. The victories won over the Germans have not been due to numerical superiority on the bat- tle-front. Their primary cause has been the rejuvenation of the allied armies. The French and British troops are fighting now with the fresh spirit of 1914, aided by all the experience gained in four years of struggle. That long grind had worried them. It was an army of well trained ‘and brave soldiers that Gen. Foch took over when he assumed the allied The Casper Daily Tribune| LIEUT. CYRIL H.

They fight passively and philosophically. They are hard to defeat, but they are unagegressive. They have lost their punch. Why this sudden change in altied morale? The answer, by this time, is obvious. It was the Americans who restored that lost punch., And it was not so much by their own vic- tories as by their contagious en- thusiasm. This fact is made very plain by the ,big British war criti Maj. Gen. Maurice. “It is not by any means only by the numerical reinforcement which America has brought into the field,” he says, ‘‘that she has helped turn the scale. It would be impossible to overrate the value of the infusion of fresh and vigorous life into the Allies’ ranks in the fifth year of the war, when there is a natural tend- * ency for those who have borne the heat and burden of the war to be- come stale. The Americans emanate keenness and vitality which is in- fectious, while their fresh outlook ugon the questions which to us have become stale by longyuse,' and their * racy fashion of expressing their views are most inspiring.” So we find our erstwhile tired al- lies fighting again with the reckless dash of our own lads, to: whom the war is a holy Crusade and @ fascin- ating adventure. And we find Toronto paper commenting joyfully on the fact that British soldiers now advance to the charge cheering. 0. POLITICS The congressional primaries held lately have been illuminating to a good many congressmen, and possibly to a few voters. li has come to pro- fessional politicians, with a certain amount of surprise, that politics has mighty little to do with the cam- paigns this fall. - What people ate in- terested in is the war, and any can- didate’s appeal made on any other issue falls flat. This being the case neither ‘Senator Warren noi (Con- gressman Mondelj has reason to fear the result.

His engine won't stall ’steen miles from home. He won't have to lie on his back under the car for hours, in a muddy road.
