fixed * " battle has changed. So do the backs of German heads! | We all remember the kaiser’s announcement that he was going to eat Christmas dinner, in 1914, in the city of Paris. We remember that, a year ago last January, Von Tirpitz told the Germans that the submarine would lick England before August 1, 1918. Then there was that little invitation given by Hin- denburg to the newspapermen of Germany to take lunch with him, April 1, 1918, in Paris. In fact, this thing of taking lunch or dinner or breakfast in Paris has been a perfect craze among the German leaders. There seems to be danger now that we may lose our heads a little bit. The arrival of American soldiers in France was the one thing which checked the advance of the Ger- man army. If we had not sent a million men to France between February Ist and July 1st, there is lit tle doubt but the Germans would have kept on going; not that they could have broken the French line, but the French would not have been able to stop them without going back 10 or 15 miles. It is just as certain that these million American soldiers put pep and ginger into every English and French general, so that when Foch gave the word to attack they went forward with a rush, In other words, but for the Americans the allied advances from the Marne to the Aisne and the advances eastward from Amiens and Albert would not have been made at this time. It is just as true that the American soldiers are going to break the German line and throw the Ger- man army back over the Rhine, so that Germany her- self will learn what war means by the light of her burning towns and citie The war, however, not over by a long way. Germany had the allies down and they partly took the count. The allied army is again on its feet and giving some stiff punches, but Germany is not by any means out of the ring. Germany to Strike “Before Snow Flies” to Aid Peace Talk — THE SEATTLE STAR—FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1918. eg Germany wants peace now. This winter she will try harder than ever to get peace—her kind of peace. In order to do that she must have some sort of success to show. Success on the Italian front is impossible. Success on the Russian front is a disgrace. Her only chance is to have some showing of suc- cess on the West front. Where that blow will come no one knows. All that we can be sure of is that it will be the last great blow of which Germany is capable. It cannot be successful from a military point of view. However hard she strikes, the blow will finally be met, and Germany will have lost more men than the all But Germany will not look upon this from a military stancpoint. It will be the last blow before the snow flies, and it will be the real peace offensive. Settle the Home Question TODAY All things considered, COTTAGE GROVE is the most practical, most sensible, most economical ~ locality for the wage-earner in all Seattle. No car fare to pay—if you work in any of the big West Waterway shipyards or other plants (and there’s plenty of work over there, if you prefer to live” and own a home in this fast-growing district). You can buy a big lot at a low price, and on the easiest kind of terms. You can take a little lumber, a few nails, a THE SEATTLE STAR 1207 Seventh Ave. Near Union St. MEMBER OF scKIrrs NoRTHW Teleara Entered Bea’ News Service of the as Second-Class Matter May 3, 1899, at the Postoffice at ttle, Wash. under the Act of Congress Mareh 3. 1878 Se per month; 3 months, $1.50; 6 month: $3.75; be The Ladies’ Musical club has subscribed $1,000 for War Savings Stamps.
