Cs upon the definite news that a big French army has ar- ts Italian Premier's announcement that Italian troops will be sent to I'rance, This‘ may be taken as another sign that the situation is nearly ripe for a movement that shall catch the German offensive at the point where its momentum is exhausted and roll it back to defeat and disaster. For forty-eight hours now tho Allied lines have held against the | Gesperate and costly attacks of the enemy. In vain the Germans have shifted the pressure from one point to another, throwing forward division after division, sacrificing men by thousands. Berlin gets no more reports of steady advance. The great battle has reached the stage where resistance negatives assault. At any moment the reserve strength of the Allies brought to bear in force may start the counter, thrust, { Italian troops aro not going to France to reinforce a wavering Une. They are going to put added power behind the blow that Allied Ermies are now preparing. The fact that defenders of Italy can be spared from their mountains is additional proof of the desperate con- centration of Teutonic effort on the western front. It is a further} measure of how much decisive victory in France and Belgium will mean. With French, British, American, Belgian, Italian and Portuguese troops fighting at last under one Commander-in-Chief of Allied ‘Armies, and ready to strike back just as Germany’s supreme offensive has failed, the outlook for the Allies is brighter at this moment than §t has been for months. rived to help the British on the Flanders front, follows tho] SE ES SS ae aS a te WHY NOT A BOND SERVICE FLAG? EW Americans would not be glad to have now and in after years a permanent sign or record, carrying the Government stamp, to hang in their homes and bear witness to the regn- larity with which each, according to his individual means, met the successive appeals of the Nation for money to back its fighters in the greatest of all wars, It doesn’t matter whetherdit is a $50 bond or $5,000,000 in bonds. Each purchaser who subscribes for what he can should feel a special pride in letting no bond issue go by him, He ought to be in on every one. He is bound to be the happier for it now and later, ‘That is why The Evening World makes its suggestion of a Liberty Bond Service Flag, every star in which shall stand for a bond issue in which the owner has done his part, eitung Chamber of the Grand Duchy of rman Government to endeavor to This week a similar step was urged in i # after Many who subscribed for bonds in the First or Second Liberty Loans feel themselves relieved of obligations toward the Third, No such exemption is the fact, j ; The Third Liberty Loan ought to have the backing of every man and woman who backed the First and Second.

UGGESTIONS are reported from Berlin favoring an agreement S with the Allies to stop the aerial bombing of open towns out- side the war zone. Last week the Frankfurter 7. referred to a resolution passed by the Baden requesting the Imperial Ge wecure such an agreement, ‘the Reichstag. _ Killing school children and old women in London or Paris was brave warfare from the German point of view until these cowardly outrages started by Germany overcame British and French repug- nance to such methods and provoked reprisals, Karlsruhe has suffered severely from Allied air raids, Karlsruhe is the capital of Baden, It is natural this Duchy should be among the first to be horrified at the crue] murder of German non-combatants by air bombs, Such ways of fighting are good enough German ways unti) they have forced the foe to retaliate in kind. : It was the Germans who started the horrible fire and gas attacks, Yesterday’s despatches told how at one part of the line in the battle now raging British gunners for hours threw shells charged with harm- Jess though ill-smelling fumes until the Germans, discovering ‘the non-poisonous character of the bombardment, took off their masks, Then the British suddenly changed to Poison gas bombs gnd two thousand of the enemy were suffocated.

At the outbreuk of the Revolution we had no regular navy. Despite tho fact that England ponsessed the moat powerful navy of the time she could use it to small advantage on 2,000 miles of coast line almost $,000 miles from her home base. Consequently the nondescript collection of odds and ends forming the American Navy act- ’ ed like @ sWara of hoitets against thelr formidable adversary, O'Brien was @ lumberjack up in the Maine woods just back of Ma- chias, News of the Battle of Lexing- ton had spread through the Colontes firing the hearts of countless other young patriots. An armed Britisn schooner lay off the Maine coast at Machias. O'Brien and a party of his friends, Maine Woodsmen like biia- self, formed the resolve of taking her where she lay. A lumber sloop was seized, and O'Brien armed his crew for the most part with pitchforks and axes. Approaching the unsuspecting Britisher they were quickly on beard and captured the enemy with hardly a struggle, 80 complete was the sur- prise. O'Brien then armed his schooner w York Wrening World.) with the cannon and ammunition taken from the captured Britisher and put to sea in quest of further. prizes, With no commission and no legal authority of any sort, he made several prizes in a short time and sent them back to Machias, There was considerable booty in each prize and the crew shared in the proceeds. O'Brien's example was followed by others, and soon the whole New Eng- land coast was alive with Yankee privateers, who created no end of trouble for the enemy, 80 great was O'Brien's success and so irritating were his captures that Admiral Graves, the British com- mander of the fleet in that neighbor- hood, in @ spirit of reprisal, reduced the town of Falmouth (now Port- land) to ashes, thus leaving the in- habitants shelterless at the begin- ning of a bleak New England winter. ‘This was unfortunate for the Brit- ish, Spurred on by indignation, the building of ships proceeded with great rapidity, and in a short while 4 small but extremely effective Amer- tean Navy was the result. To O'Brien, ‘however, must be awarded the palm of creating and commanding the first American ship of war; he was first to attack and conquer @ British ship of the line. In honor of this gallant young officer, the Navy Department keeps alive his memory and his vallant exploits by naming after him one of our newest | and largest torpedo boat destroyers— O'Brien, ~The Man Who Has BRHAPS no living man 4g better P fitted to tell of the great im- provements !n implements and methods of destruction than Frederic Villiers, the famous English war cor- espondent, who, at the age of sixty- six, 1s “covering” his seventeenth war, He was born in London on April 23, | 1852, and studied art in France, He was war artist for the Graphic in Serbia in 1876, and corres; ondent and artist with the Russian Army during the Russo-Turkish war tn 1877, The following year he was with the gight. ing men in Afghanistan, and then made a trip around the world, ‘The Egyptian war next ocoupted his pen and brush, and in 1844 he was in the easter..

The invitation had come from Mayor Cyrus Perkins Walker of Delhi, It had been received by the noted Southwestern poetess, Ella- belle Mae Doolittle. It was a fine day in Delhi, The sun was beaming down on the little town and the spar- rows were hopping about in the streets, Here and there groups of little negro children mauled each other in a sweet-tempered manner |and files were busy on tho horses. It was just the day for an ice-cream | soda, “Let us visit Splivins's drug store,” ‘said the Mayor, “Spliv started bis |fountaln going this morning.” | Miss Doolittle took the Mayor's jarm, There was nothing wrong in |that. It was with child-like simplic- lity that she did #0. Together they walked down Main Street conversing only on the highest subjects, indeed a stroll of anticipation and de- light. “Good morning, Spliv!"" Mayor Walker was addressing the druggist. “Morning, Mayor!" This was the response of the drug- gist. “Soda tor two!" Outside the window gamins gazed, Would they, too, have lied to Indulge in ice cream soda? They sure would. “Chocolate!” Miss Doolittle had spoken tn dulcet tones. And then the Mayor echoed, "Choc- olate!"” Druggist Splivins spooned the cream, turned on the fizz and Delhi's two most famous inhabitants were soon dipping up the rich and refreshing mixture, And now, dear reader, the picture has been painted. What followed must be related in a more common- place way, When the two had swal- lowed the last vestixe of the goody the poetess bade the Mayor goodby attest, the time to use an inspiration 1s when it first comes, In her boudolr the girl wrote a poem, At first she thought she would eend it to the Hon, permit bum to prigt it ag @ avct of a It was/| i immediately to floc: {most places the | received with hostility jt | leader and made 4 beeline for home.
