TOO MUCH OPTIMISM MENACE TO VICTORY

Correspondent Back From Bat­tle Front Warns of Continued Strength of German Army.

MORE AIRPLANES NEEDED.

Liberty Bond Buyers May Provide Great Fleet to Keep Kaiser's

Forces on Run.By HEYWOOD BROUN.

(Mr. Broun accompanied the first contingent of American forces sent to France as a w ar correspondent for the New York Tribune and had excep­tional opportunities to study conditions on the W estern front.)

The achievem ents of the allied a r­mies in the p resen t offensive a re so g rea t th a t the Am erican arm y of

f o u r t h L iberty Loan buyers should 'm atch the fighting forces.

W ithout the backing of th is second a ry army, however, we should not. be too optim istic. W e have a rig h t to be optimistic, bu t the re is a rea l dan­ger in over-confidence. U nfortunately, th is sp irit is being fed by the fac t th a t some new spaper headlines have gone a jum p o r two ahead of the fighting men.

B ritish and F rench official s ta te ­m ents have been distinctly accurate. A t tim es they have been ju s t a shadeover-conservative; bu t a scrupulous regard fo r accuracy alm ost im plies a leaning in th a t direction.

I t would be a good th ing if the ubllc o f A merica could be trained

th ink in the term s of the official news, and no t look fo rw ard too fa r to w hat m ay be done next week o r the w eek after.

- , F o r instance, th e Germ an arm y has received a very heavy blow. In addi­tion to ceding much te rrito ry , i t has lo s t an enormous num ber of men and guns. B u t i t is no t fa ir to say a t tbe p resen t tim e th a t th e G erm an arm y is in fu ll re trea t, o r th a t i t has been routed. The m orale o f the foe has been shaken, w ithout doubt, bu t i t has n o t been broken. T he Germ an arm y

;is s till fighting w ell and* is capable of v ery s tro n g resistance.: Ludendorff evidently has decided

/ t h a t ~he cannot m ake a s tan d in h is ;p rpsent position, andv h e is. endeavor- ling to go back a s slow ly a s possible*. to a a v e /h im se lf from losses of? men. ia ad tap rte rlo L 'T he-*onfuak% in' rfe-

dar* is dna t o th»7fifag lh « ^ aUe1 plae**,’th e Germans have made volun

» ta ry re tre a ts , "while a t o th e r points /th e y have .b een fo rced back- In battles,'

during , w hich th e allied arm ies never |lostc c o n ta c ti How Am erica Can Help.

I t Is probable th a t th e G erm ans had jno in ten tion of ceding th e Queant- •Drocourt line a s quickly as they did. T here they w ere th ru s t o u t; and if

jother im portan t p laces fall, we m ay [be su re th a t these also will be hasty [and forced evacuations, i -Many thousands o f men on both :8ides have been lost in fighting around Lens in previous cam paigns. The tow n is of m ore th an tactlc ia l o r s tra ­tegic Importance, fo r i t is close to im­p o rtan t coal mines. I t m ay be th a t th e G erm ans have gravely dam aged ;the mines, b u t It is b e tte r th a t they should be dam aged than used as a source of supplies fo r th e enemy.

T he n a tu re o f the fighting during th e la s t few days has shown one way in which Am erica can contribute ma­terially to th e eventual com plete de­fe a t of the German army. H undreds of thousands o f men have been m arch­ing over absolutely barren country. T here is not a tree le ft on the F lan ­ders meadows, w here much of the heaviest action has taken place. T he only shelter is in the old trench lines.

When cam paigns a re being carried on in ' such country, the airp lane be­comes more than a scout or a director of a rtillery fire. A t the p resen t tim e th e airp lane is s tric tly an offensive weapon. A squadron of p lanes not only can detect th e m assing of enemy troops fo r a counter a ttack , bu t it can break up the a ttack completely, by m eans of bombs and machine gun ballets, In fact, one of the B ritish correspondents m entioned such an in­cident in his account of the fighting on Monday.

U nder such conditions, a irp lane losses a re high. I t is evident th a t the B ritish a re tak ing daring chances in using th e ir fliers against troops.

Value of the Airplane.The av ia to r alw ays Is in danger

when he swoops low enough to pepper m arching troops w ith his machine g u n ; bu t even if he is shot down or forced to land he has m ade the enemy pay the price.

If the allies had an absolutely com­manding superiority in the air, a well organized German re tre a t in F landers would not be possible. The planes would be able to te rro rize every road, f a r back of the lines, and m ake a digni-

" .fied w ithdraw al impossible.America can supply the planes th a t

will give the allies th is superiority. L et i t be understood th a t only a cer­ta in proportion of the machines need be ba ttle planes. U nder the protection of an ample fleet of ba ttle planes, a l­most anything th a t can get into the a i r and stay there for a w hile may be sen t over the Boehes.

I t should not he forgotten th a t i t is easie r and quicker and less costly in lives to go over the enemy than through him. The end of tlje w ar will be well in sight when the a ir has be­come allied territory.

Everybody in this country can help to m ake i t so by buying Liberty 'Bonds.

Albany.—New York S tate has sudden­ly aw akened to the fac t th a t in spite of the d raft, in spite of the call of men to m unition works and shipbuilding plants, and the consequent shortage, of farm labor i t can increase its pro.- duction of crops. The plan which has been w orked out fo r the employment of young women on the farm s, which has the endorsem ent of both the fed­eral and s ta te authorities, has proven Itself a thoroughly practical success in New York S ta te th is season.

The U p-State Conference o f the New York S ta te W oman’s Land Army, held here on A ugust 20-21, clinched this fact. T he farm ers o f th e s ta te were shown th a t there is already organized a force o f short-tim e labor w illing and eager to jum p into overalls and per­form all the tasks required of un­skilled farm w o r k e r s .

The employment of women on farm shas passed - the experim ental stage. Evidence was produced a t the con­ference to show th a t w herever they have been employed t h e y h a v e made good and th a t altogether they have saved thousands of dollars’ w orth of crops.

Need of Membership Drive.Mrs. Thom as F. Burgess, president

of the New York S ta te W oman’s Land Army, outlined plans to pu t the 'New York farm erettes still more firmly on the m ap as food producers. She sta ted th a t w here thq arm y now has 40 units o r cam ps of g irl w orkers in the s ta te i t m ust establish 200. m eeting the needs of every ag ricu ltu ra l section. She- declared th a t every u n it m ust be adequately supplied w ith au to trucks, to- fake the* g irls to. and f ro m work, th u s sav in g tim e th a t m ight be spent in cu ltivating props p T o ‘ g iye “fills enlargem ent o f tlie a rm y th e necessary financial a n d mor-

Though th e Land Army movement is little m ore than a year old it has made trem endous progress, according to Dr. Ida Ogilvie of B arnard Col­lege, dean of the Bedford W oman ’3 L and Army. Dr. Ogilvie, who w as one of the speakers a t the convention, is frequently referred to as the M other of th e movement. Dr. Ogilvie traced the g row th o f the arm y from the sum­m er pf 1917, when the Bedford un it w as established w ith no support from the farm ers, and -little encouragem ent from anyone else.

Dr. Ogilvie in her address stated, th a t the work thoroughly agreed with] th e girls. She showed th a t only about 2 per cent, of th e • 'applicants a re tu rned down because of physical dis-i qualification.. I t requires .tw o weeks[ of- “hardening” before about 4 p e r cent, of those who are accepted are; ready fo r the real farm labor, bu t th e 1 rem aining num ber ad ju st them selves alm ost im m ediately to th e ir new and arduous occupation.

THE CUP' O P L IF E• •

Of all the vintage in the world One single cup o f wine,

One cup o f life, one cup of death.One destiny is mine.

I'd not give up that special cupMy fates have poured for me,

For any other in a ll time,Nor all eternity.

The BlightedTree

•«*By Saidee Estelle Baleom

(Copyright, 1918. Western Newspaper Union.)

For in my time, and in my place No foot has stood before.

My taste of fortune fine or base No lips oan know of, more.

So might I choose, I would not lose For nectared draughts divine

This deep-spiced vintage here and now, In mine pwn place and time.

Mine be the strength to lift it upIn pride; drink full and free.

And, standing, drain the mortal cup My fates have poured for me.

—Edith Franklin Wyatt.

Another Use /for Cement.Through the shortage of structural

.steel, roof trusses of timber Incased in cement have been used for buildings of a 'Texas oil refinery. After putting in place, the trusses were wrapped with a layer of light waterproof building paper, and sheets of expanded metal, with half-inch diamond mesh, werefitted around the paper, and held flve- oighths inch from the surface by chairs and nails. A coating of one and a half inches of cement mortar was then ap­plied with cement guns. The roof was covered with a one and a half-inch monolithic slab, built in place by the use of wire-mcsh re-enforcing, and ce­ment mortar applied by cement guns from below against wood panels, which ivere removed after 24 hours. The ce­ment surface was given a final coating of hot asphalt paint.

By \£ay of acknowledgment Tommy gave the laurel-crowned “Tipperary,” and created a sensation, as well he might, in that sacred mecca of Italian opera. Flowers were showered upon him in m o s t embarrassing fashion.- The rea­son of this delicate attention may be the kilts, at which the people gaze in u n d i s g u i s e d amazement. One veteran peasant exclaimed: “Fancy, women as well as men go to war in that country, and yet they look as though they would make mincemeat of the Germans.” Lit­tle wonder that some of these kilted “ladies” received not only flowers, but equally embarrassing kisses.—Chris­tian Science Monitor.

paper was tightly clasped In Alice’s hand. They lifted her and bore her to a couch in the sitting room.

“Will you hurry for a doctor, Mr. Trumbull, please?” spoke Rosamond. “This is something more than a faint.”

The young man departed on wings of fleetness. The anxiety In his grave, earnest face was as intense as that displayed by mother and sister. It might well be, for he had been an aspirant for the love of Alice before Wylie had supplanted him.

Like the true man that he was, al­though hurt to the soul, Trumbull had accepted the award of fate. Alice had continued to be kind to him.

Mr. Yamamoto had with him 200 i fiends and professional sportsmen w h o are experts with the rifle. They left Tokyo on November 15' and established headquarters at Gensang, a small port on the northern coast of the Sea sf Japan. The ex­perienced sportsmen were distributedamong the amateurs la the party, so that everybody was given an oppor­tunity to bag what game was encoun­tered.

Mr. Yamamoto and his party re­turned recently from the hunt after several successful weeks in the Korean mountains and has been feast­ing his friends on tiger steaks and other dishes from the game brought home—New York Herald.

D ra f t R io ts of 1 8 6 3 .

The so-called “draft riots” occurred in New York city during’ the Civil war. In July, 1863, pursuant to orders by the national government, a general d raft was begun to reinforce the army. At the commencement of proceedings a great riot broke out in New York city and for three or four days raged un­controlled. Buildings were burned, stores and houses were looted, colored persons were killed on sight and an­archy prevailed until troops arrived and restored order. A thousand per­sons were killed and injured. -

The Trouble^“Why did your friend clhfm immu­

nity for prostration fromvw ar "service, when all he has been doing is to shuck oysters?”

“That’s rig h t You see, he didn't dream there would be so much trork In that job, and so he's suffering from shell shock."

despairing-: Of'Wyliq. ;”H d.is deadi she said-—

my eopt?telI»4ne I shall never see him again.'’ Then One rday \she proffered a request tha t blanched her mother’s face gml caused Rosamond to quiver with dismay.

“Mother,” spoke Alice feebly, “It would be a comfort to me to sleep In the north room, where I can see the cherry tree where I stood with Wylie.”

“My dear Alice,” quavered the per­turbed mother, “the doctor insists that the light, sun and air are just right for you here.”

“I shall die if you don’t do as I say,” said Alice. “J want to die anyway, now that Wylie’s gone.”

For hours Alice moaned out her de­sire. The doctor told Mrs. Clyde that they must do something to answer her wish.

“But the tree was rooted up In the storm two weeks ago,” sobbed the anguished mother, “and when Alice sees this she will regard it the final omen of fate.”

When Dale Trumbull called to In­quire about Alice that evening Rosa­mond told him of their new anxiety. Her grief appealed to him and aroused his deepest compassion.

“Something must be done,” he spoke " after a period of deep reflection, “yes, I think I know what, but Alice must never know.”

For two nights, with the aid of ol ti­ers, Dale "Trumbull delved -4ind worked to remove from his own orchard a flourishing cherry tree, as near the prototype of the one that had been destroyed as could be found. When,two days later, Alice was removed to another room, her eyes rested seem­ingly upon^ the tree she so cherished. The sight of it seemed to quiet, to console her, and Dale was glad, and Rosamond looked up into his honest eyes with a gratitude that somehow seemed to give him a new interest in the sister of the woman he had loved and lost.

One day he arrived, flushed and breathless, at the Clyde garden gate, where Rosamond stood. He had news —great news! Wylie, had escaped from his captors and he was coming home! A true man, a good man, if Dale wa^ a trifle sad, he was also happy as he saw the" old light of hope come back to the wan face of Aliee.

And once,more the reunited lovers stood under the cherry tree shade. And later, after they had married and gone away, at the self-same spot Dale Trumbull, who had learned to cherish the sterling, -kindly impulses of the loyal sister, asked Rosamond to be­come hl& wife.

Average Accidents.Women are always the first to be

called upon wherever and whenever an accident occurs. The average man is indeed, only too glad to do what he can, but he doesn’t know what to do. Nine times out of ten the only help he can render is to rush to a telephone and call a doctor or ambulance to the scene, and he certainly deserves the highest praise for such commendable work, but the average woman has It in her to help materially at such a time.

Be F air W ith Children.Do not keep a list of your children’s

faqlts constantly before you, and do not, if you would be happy and a t the same time make these little ones hap­py, elaborate upon their failings before company. On the other hand, if you must speak of the day’s events, empha­size their good deeds, tell of the splen- djd work done during school hours, and admit in the right spirit that these small members of the household save you many weary steps.

Sought Information.I t was a t a Shakespeare club in a

small country tow n. The p resid en t of the club, a young lawyer, was giving his views on the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy, and closed his argument thus: “I feel sure Shakespeare wrote the plays, because he was a -lawyer. No common man could have written them.” A timid little woman, catch­ing his eyes, inquired anxiously, “Are there then no uncommon men but law­yers?”—Judge. j

T ree Lore.The reason most trees lean toward

the northwest, says an old tree trim­mer, is because in the summer our pre­vailing winds are front the southeast; the ground then is soft and the trees being in full leaf, the wind tilts them toward the northwest. In the winter the northern winds do not have this [ effect on the trees because they a r e : denuded of leaves and the ground Is frozen or hard.

A Disappearing Island.At Lake Orion, in Michigan, there Is

a certain mysterious island which comes to the surface each summer, on­ly to disappear again every winter. Quite regularly, along the middle of August, the island bobs up above the waters of the lake, and down it goes again about the middle of February. Once some farmers of that part of the country loaded the island with heavy stones, thinking that, when it went down the next time, it would stay do\?n. But, when it was summer once more, up came the mysterious Island as serene as ever. This is one of the most famous of the curious floatingislands,-r-Christiah Science Monitor.

Naming of Picadilly.Picadilly, made familiar to most

Americans by “Tipperary,” is believed to have got its name from pickadelles or picadillies, a variety of turnover collar. A tailor named Higgins, who had made a fortune selling these arti­cles of apparel, built a home In that particular part of London in 1680 and called It Picadilla hall, hence the name Picadilly.

It is now nearly two years since the board of health lifted the ban on the sale of horse meat In the effort to re­duce the cost of living, observes the Brooklyn Eagle. The introduction of the food has been slow, but five shops* two pf them in Brooklyn, are noW re­ported to be advertising horse meat for sale.

The demand for this cheap meat has been Increased by the wartime food prices .and some of the butchers in Manhattan who compete with the horse meat stores are issuing circulars de­nouncing the new food and stirring up prejudice against I t Whether as a re­sult of the circulars Is not clear, but one of these horse-meat stores on First avenue, Manhattan, has been attacked, its window having been smashed in on two successive nights. A

Neither the circulars nor the attacks are likely to interfere with the spread of the demand for the new food. The manager of the company which Intro­ducing It says that crowds are drawn when he opens a new store and that In one case he had to call on the police to keep order among his would-be cus­tomers. In cases of food scarcity horse meat has been eaten In many countries. The great prosperity of the United States has kept it out of our markets heretofore, but the wartime scarcity and high prices are likely to establish it as a regular part of the diet of peo­ple who can’t afford to pay for beef. The objections to it are sentimental and not hygienic, so that, as a relief from high prices, its use is to be wel­comed.

But still little John was dissatisfied and sad, and would talk of nothing but Santa Claus and his expected v isit

When he got up Christmas morning andr found that Santa Claus had brought him a new pair of overshoes, a fine new geography, pencil and tab­lets, ear muffs, an orange and a bag of candy, his disappointment could no longer be controlled and he burst out crying.

“Why, Johnny, Johnny,” said his as­tonished mother, “you have receivedeverything you needed. W hat In theworld Is the matter?”

“I—I—don't need—any—of the-s-e things,” said Johnny between sobs. “Can’t—you—see, mamma, the thing I need is something to play with.”—In­dianapolis News.

conference in Washington, just before war was declared. Many prominent men were present, both from the North and from the South. The newspapers naturally were anxious to gej opinions first-hand from the members of the dif­ferent committees, but found It a hard job.

One reporter finally fairly cornered a courteous Southerner—an elderly man of the “old school.”

“Mr. Blank,” said the reporter per­suasively, “I would like to have your opinion of the wan”

“Well, sail,” said Mr. Blank very courteously, “I haven’t thought of it much lately, but Pve always been of the opinion, Safi, that Lee should not haye surrendered.' Good evening, sah.”

TANKS TO BREAKL

F a r m

Latest War Engine Counted on to Overwhelm Machine

Gun Defense.WILL SAVE, U. S. LIVES.“Build Tanks,” Is Army’s Mes­

sage—Liberty BondsWill Do it.

■ " 1—11 ■■By HEYWOOD BROUN..

(Mr. Broun accompanied the first contingent of American forces sent to France as a w ar correspondent for the New York Tribune and had excep­tional opportunities to study conditionson the W estern front.)

The continuance of the rapid French advance and the capture of Chaulnes indicate that the old advantages of de­fensive warfare have gone. There is no longer any such thing as an im­pregnable line. Although the Germans are being pressed closely by the allied forces, it seems probable that Luden-

-dorff will be able to reach the old Hin- denburg line without meeting abso­lute disaster, but it will be by no means a retirement in good order.

The main basis of allied’ optimism, however, rests in the probable develop­ments after the Hindenburg line- is reached. There was a time when a well organized aitmy with plenty of machine guns could take* a stand and say to an opposing force, even of somewhat superior numbers, “You shall go no farther.” But the general of a numerically inferior force who attempts any such plan today is apt to find himself playing the sorry role of Canute.

The tank, particularly the new whip­pet type, has revolutionized trench war­fare. There are German critics today who maintain the Teuton army can make a stand whenever it reaches a favorable position and hold against all attacks solely through Its machine gun efficiency. There is no use In denying that the Germans have done a little , better with the machine gun up to date than anybody else in the war. Their weapoh is no more effective— indeed, it may be surpassed .by the Browning—-but the Germans have -de: veloped machine gun- technique--more extensively thgn their opponents, They have used machine guns not only fo r defense, b u t for offense as well

The, big German smash, of March was carried ihrojjgh la tg e f ttf f^ fh e success of the policy of infutm ion, in Which small groups of -machine-gun* nets were sent out .far in. advance of the main attacking body to harry and confuse the enemy. . Sometimes these small German parties were able - to work their way forward until th e ir fire gave certain allied units the im­pression that the German army was behind them, and retreats followed.

Tanks Outmatch Machine Guns.But the tank has changed all that.

The tank permits of surprise attacks, and the tank can cut barbed wire and wipe out machine gun nests. If enough tanks are used in attack, nothing is left for the infantry to do but mop up and consolidate the newly won posi-. tions. Probably no offensive of the war has been carried on so economi­cally as the recent great counter blow of Foch. Tanks broke all the strong positions of the Germans, and the in­fantry had to deal only with isolated machine gun positions, which they could outflank without paying the price of a direct frontal attack.

General Byng should receive the credit for proving first the full possi­bility of the tank. It had been used before the Cambrai attack of last year, but not with great success, and nearly always in conjunction with artillery preparation. Byng proved that the tanks could cut barbed wire and wipe out machine gun nests better than a preliminary artillery bombardment, be­cause they could do it more rapidly and not lose the element of surprise which was always lacking In the old days, when the guns sometimes would hammer away for forty-eight hours be­fore the men went over the top. Not only were the Germans prepared for attacks after such long preliminaries, but the attacked trenches were so badly battered that it was difficult to hold them against strong counter attack?. With the tanks leading the way, infantry can take trenches with­out first leveling them.

Of course, Germany has set to work to build tanks now as fast as she can. I t is possible that she may be able to turn out a greater number of tanks than England and_. France com­bined. The-dlfference,; and a great deal more than that, must be made up from America.

Tanks Will Win W ar.Floyd Gibbons, an American news­

paper man who has just returned from France, was asked what message our army had for the people Dack home.

“Help to build tanks,” he said.‘ Tanks will win the war, and if we can, r t enough' of them over quickly *.i :ough we can cut down enormously ti.e old price in dead and wounded, which an offensive entailed.”

Now, of course, not everybody in this country can fashion any part of a tank witli his own hands. They may not be grown in the war garden in place of radishes or be built up from iron scraps and automobiles lying nhout the house. And yet every Amer- ii andean have his part in building one or more tanks, which will make the al­lied offensive successful beyond ■' the shadow of a doubt.

Every man who buys a Liberty bond can have the satisfaction of helping to build up the arm of the service which l as revolutionized warfare and balked Geriuany’s ’ scheme of-hanging on to stolen te rrito ry , ______
