Sparing Soldiers Germany now has decided to “spare” her soldiers, what “¥emains of the millions of men Germany spent years in ining for this war of conquest. Gen. Ludendorff thus eplains the retreat of the Huns from the Rheims-Soissons lient. Ludendorff and Hindenburg, who, by the way, n't as dead as he ought to be, frankly admit that Ger- ny has reached the point where she must conserve, x supply of fighting men or be_ utterly and quickly vanquished after a few more life-costing attempts to break thru the allied lines on the West front. ‘ Since the collapse of Russia and Rumania neither the Bulgarians nor Turks have shown any great desire to throw into Germany's war. Austria cannot, for she AS hands full down on the Italian front. It’s all up to y, and Germany has drained her man power to Jast available man. She has taken her young boys her old men. And she has wasted their lives as a resben spendthrift throws away his pennies. Bill Hohen-| iern, Ludendorff and Hindenburg valued the life blood) of the German soldier at little until it began running low. )From the Rhine to the Marne, German blood drenched the ‘soil and turned rivers to red. Each drive piled up moun- ‘tains of German dead. But what cared the Hohenzollerns is long as the supply held out? Now the war lords see the bottom. They now will 8” soldiers because they have none to waste. | Foch, Haig and Pershing all along have known that the ns were draining their man power, and were content to them drain it to the very last dregs. If Germany still a fighting Russia to face on the East front, she would ago have been compelled to draw back her Western to the Rhine or even beyond. And it is probable that East front would be in East Prussia. It has been a well Known fact in the allied capitals that were drawing near the day when the German war lords have to announce this sparing soldiers program. y will go on talking about “sparing” soldiers as the force them on to Berlin. This is the only way in the kaiser can explain his retreats to the German of city, Sc per month; 3 in the State of Washington. for 6 months, or $9.00 per year, n In the meantime the allied soldiers will not spare any they can touch with bayonet or reach with shell. is why Ludendorff is “sparing” them by heading them id the Rhine. Von Hintze, the kaiser’s new foreign secretary, is of initiative. He announces that Germany is man ‘ fighting for the liberation of Iceland, India and Egypt. forgot to mention Australia and Canada. finer oh ca In their journey from the body of one victim to the of a prospective victim the germs which cause ty- fever travel over certain well-known, well-defined or routes. | ‘These routes are five in number—contact, water, milk,| and flies.
