The Boche shelling is heavy and he is pouting gas’into all‘the val- léys, so our men must travel on the hills.. Those hills ate being raked b; thousands of German 77s. “The Americans’ in advance hit th: barbed wire.. ‘Thier rifles are slung across their shoulders and the plier: are pulled out. Busily our men.cut wires. -The noise they make bring: a nasty rat-e-tat'from a Hun machine gun from a tree on the other side oi the wire. “Then another and another, twenty machine guns are going. “Our doughboys pile through tha wire fence and through underbrush eand stack up against another fence ten feet farther away. “The range has been pushed bac! to the Boche and shells begin to fai all around. “They cut that ‘barbed wire an¢ then stumble on to concealed wirc entanglements covered with brush They climb trees. All the time from dark the German snipers and ma chine gun men, always with time t fall back, are taking their toll. “Now our line comes upon a broad trench with more wires. In the dari our boys leap across it; some fal’ back into it and the mud. Others ge: , over at the first attempt and pull out ‘their pliers to cut more wires. Al) the time it is raining and cold, ver) cold. ‘The inky blackness there in the forest is broken by streams of fir from’ Hun machine guns and the in termittent flash of some Germar sniper seeming to taunt the youthfy) tape struggling against- such evilish odds as men ‘5 shave fought against.’ sien i One American division had to fight through two and a half miles of thi: —a dense jungle of barbed wire, ter feet. high, linking tree to tree, catch ing men like rats in a trap while ma ! chine guns play on them. Then there ig other miles to follow almost a: ad. Do you think it takes stout hearts? Do‘you think it takes endurance, de termination, sacrifice? + Do-you think you or any civilization you know ever in his life put into his job the effort those boys are putting into theirs? In the ace of that, who, at home can complain about his picayune war work? Who can think it a hardship to help sell Liberty Bonds? Whe car consider it an imposition to be asked to lend his last dollar to back up -those boys in France? anc ES DEFENDING GERMANY. “Plans are ready for early evacua- tion of Belgium, if necessary,” says Baron Falkenhausen military govern- or of Belgium. “The German army can return to/its frontier in order to'show the world we really want. to defend Germany.” ‘The world does not doubt that the Huns really want to “defend Ger- many’’—now,,, _ But the demonstra- tion.of sincerity comes four years.and three months too late. ‘The world knows that if Germany had’ merely. wanted to defend herself if would not; have invaded Belgium and France at the beginning of the war. And then there would have been no war. Now, indeed, the Germans will haye a chance to defend their fatherland. It will not eyer matter merely to get out of the territory they have over- run, devasted and polluted. No soon- er will they reach their own frontier than the victorious .Allies will be} pounding relentlessly at their gates. — CRADLES AND TRENCHES When Dr. Josephine Baker, in the coutse of her propaganda-work for the saving of 100,000 American. ba- bies this year, declared that “there is! three times as much danger in being| ts baby.in a crowded city as in béing a soldier in France.” her statement| was challenged. | She seems to have proved her! point. Her conclusion, she says, was based | on official figures for French mili-| tary mortality in the second half of | 1916 and on New York City’s infant! mortality reports for 1917. <2 | In the half-year.of fighting .re-| ferred to, the total- losses , of ..the/ Fremch army, including missing and prisoners, as well as killed, was only | Buy LIBERTY Bonds to Furnish Food. per thousand}; two to three years, 10.8 | -per 1,000; three to four, 6.66 per | }1,000; and four to five, yoming |1,000. The death rate of all children 1 under five years of age was nearly 5.81. per} 30 per 1,000, or 3 per cent. This is surely a humiliating com- | parison so far as ouf Civilian record | s concerned. The smaller cities make | a somewhat better showing, but with rare exceptions their results in baby conservation afte as yet nothing to breg about. Life is still safer for | fighting men in the war zone than| for babies in American cradles. { It is well to remember this when! we are smitten with exaggerated fears for the lives of our boys in| France, and give a little more heed} to something that lies more in our) \away from his home town.
