They have retaken the, famous Chemin des Dames and wossed the Alsne at one point, but with &e same terrible sacrifice of men which characterized their previous at- tacks. They have gained ground but they have been made to pay a frightful price for it. They have not, however, been able to break the linesof the al- les. It has been a case of bending it dack, but there is no question of the whility to hold and prevent the carry- lng out of the enemy's object, On the northern part of the line the situation has ieen different. What®#ver temporary advantage was gaigad has been wrested from the Teutons by the British and French and this is char- aoteristic of the other attempts to ad- vance in other sectors. The task of ‘he Germans is a gigantic one and sonfidence that the allies will be able to upset it is not in the least shaken. — CAPE COD CANAL.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why Salute the Flag? Mr. Editor: Noticing a statement in yeur columns this morning that “ex- actly 51 men among the thousands of people that lined the sidewalks to watch the Red Cross parade here sa- luted the cplors as they were carried by,” and that instructions had been issued by Chief of Police Linton to in- sure the proper attitude by the police as the flag passes on Memorial day, I say WHY salute the flag as it passes. First. Because it's the right thing to do. 2 Second. Because it is the proper thing to do. Third. Because it is growing to be the customary thing in all cities. Our school children are faithfully drilled to salute the flag by their teachers, Why shoulg not the rest of us salute it when the opportunity offers? Officers of the army and navy are particular to srow by their example that this is the proper thing. i Watch a great procession in New York or any large city and notice how much more atiention is paid to this than in Norwich. Perhaps they are no more patriotic than we, but they show their feelings better. And this rule should apply to the flags of our allies in war, as well as to our own. ‘We hardly realize how it pleases the organizations in' a procession, native or foreign, to ses the hand go up, or the handkerchief waved, as their flag passes. Let us try it on. Yours Yor patriotism. WILLIAM A. ATKEN. Norwich, May 28, 1918, STORIES OF THE WAR Training to Become Submarine Hunters. (Correspondence of The Associated Press): = A Americans in training in Italy to become submarine hunters and coast protectors combining hard work and serious study, varied by occasional trips to a nearby town or, less fre quently, to Rome. » This is the first school.in Italy for Uncle Sam’s aerial sailors. They at: tend lectures Jearn French and Italian, go through all the lessons up to “solo” flying, when they are allowed to fly alone, thence on through careful train- ing to the time when they are recom- mended as fit for officers, Next their names travel over the Atlantic to the War Department, and finally they be- come officers, and have their names enrolled among the fighters for the United States. “I know of mo greater glory than that of being an aviator,” said the American Ambassador, Thomas Nel- son Page, to‘some of them at a lunch yen in their honor. ‘iTheir camp is located near the banks of one of the voleanic lakes in the mountains north of Rome. The winter and spring have been mild and the student aviators have been flying almost every day since they came, under the direction of Italian instructor pilots. They utllize the lake for bathing. On their Saturday afternogn and Sundey holidays they ride over to a cathedral town set on a big rock and they go to church, see the sights, spend a little money on restaurant food, possibly put up over night at one of the many littie hotels that are languishing here sinee the war cut off tourist traffic. and they ride back again Monday morning for a new week’s training, Those fortunate emough to have toothache or teeth in the need of re- pair may go to Rome for that pur- pose.

Views of the Vigilantes COMFORT .TO GERMANY By Robert Adger Bowen i of The Vigilantes It has been cause for amazement mingled with a sharp regret that, during the dark days of the German drive against ‘the British lines in Flanders, following that upen the British lines in Picardy, there.should have broken out in press and public alike that narrow and warped antipa- ‘thy toward England, which, if it ever was other than ungenerous and America owe Great Britain to-day should have silegved into a humiliated but very sincere loyalty. On the con- trary, there has been for too evident a disposition to attack England. Almost, it has seemed, the disposition in the present instance, has been based on a fear that was akin to panic, The fight- ing quality of the British has been open- ly belittled, and this in the face of a splendid resistance against all but over- whelming odds that was being exem- plified even as these false accusations were made. And this, it may be added, in the face of all that history teaches since the days of Alfred the Great to the present years of this most mo- mentous of wars. Such prejudice in us of .Anglo-Saxon lineage is at any time unworthy of our own best traditiops. To-day it is con- temptible. If the echo of it has reached Germany—and we may be sure it has —it is music to the ears of those who, however they may have looked upon England before this war, have learned to their cost that they can prevail against her only by force of superior {numbers and the insenate power of modern artillery—whose hatred of her has become tinged by a deadly fear which is to be measured by the hor- rible price Germany is willing to pay for the hope of vietory. For those of us in this Anglo-Saxon country whose heritage is British to seek to defame England is truly a graceless act. It smacks not of su- perior merit upon our own port of something very different. At least, let us reserve our caustic criticism of her until in this war we have done what may be compared with what Britain has so nobly done.
