The German Retreat America was thrilled late last week when the Franco-American forces initiated a counter offensive that bore every indication not only of checking the fifth drive of the Most High this year, but also of forcing a general retreat in the V-shaped sector with Chateau Thierry as- an apex. Military critics and pur officials in Washington warned us to remain calm until developments showed how far General Foch would be able to carry on the movement. The successes of the first few days were insufficient from a military .standpoint to warrant the assumption that the Germans would be forced either to fight a pitched battle to retain the salient or to order a general retreat. Brilliant as were the initial successes, it was recalled that many drives had been checked within a few days after they had been launched, and so military and governmental leaders were cautious about extravagant claims. Developments Sunday showed that General Foch's strategy in relieving Rheims by a flank attack directed against the line from Soissons to 'Chateau Thierry, caught the Germans by suri prise, forcing them to evade the issue of a decisive battle by retreating northward from Chateau ; Thierry and drawing back their lines across the Marne river, thereby relieving the menace against Rheims and removing a threat against Paris, for if the Germans had succeeded in taking Rheims their flank would have been protected and they would have made progress. It seems safe to say now that the retreat in this sector will be so great that all the gains which the Germans made with the sacrifice of many men earlier in the year are nullified at a blow and that the line will be restored to about where it was before the great offensive of this year. This, of course, is only a prediction. Events in the next forty-eight hours will indicate whether the retreat northward from the Marne and Chateau Thierry is a general one, or whether the Germans will elect to stand on a line south of their old line. i

At all events, the news of the last week has been the most heartening for the allied cause in many months. It provs without doubt that America has supplied the man power so badly needed when the Germans took the offensive this year. General Foch now has enough reserves to be able to strike back when the Germans attack. In the other four offensive movements of the Most High, General Foch had to retire, trying to inflict as much damage as he possibly could, but never being able to strike back when opportunity came. The fifth attempt of the Most High to smash his way to Paris came to naught against the man power of the French and Americans. Our boy3 unequivocably and forever proved to the German high command that they are not ninnies and weaklings but made out of the stuff that enjoys nothing better than good hand to hand fighting. In that sort of warfare America excells. The traditions of the Civil war inspire the boys over there, and when Fritz tried to make cannon fodder out of them south of the Marne and from Soissons to Chateau Thierry they gave him one of the best trouncings he has received on the western front. Nothing daunted or intimidated the American soldiers and officers. When his Most High sent hi3 crack Prussian regiments into the fray, the Yankees broke them up as fast as the high command could feed Huns to the American machine guns. When it came to storming entrenchments and machine gun nests, the Yankees cleane'd them out in quick order.

Last week has been a glorious period for American arms. WTe have demonstrated to our

allies and the enemy that we are fighters and that our men are going to write their military record on European soil in letters of German blood. We air agree that many dark and gloomy days are ahead of us. None of us are so sanguine as to believe that one German defeat means the expulsion at one blow of the enemy from the territory he holds in France and Belgium. But so much is indisputably true, a gigantic thrust of the Germans not only has been checked but turned into a retreat. That is enough cause for rejoicing. It also shows that from this day on the superiority of men rests with the Allies and that General Foch now has the reserves to initiate an offensive of his own.

"Peter-Out" Patriots

i GREENSFORK, IND.

. (By Ellis P. Butler of The Vigilantes) The verb "to peter-out" is a queer one. The dictionary says its origin is uncertain, but I have

an idea it comes from the Peter whose loyalty to Christ faltered when the cock. crew thrice. He was faithful when the cock crew once, and when the cock crew twice, but his morale weakened as the long night dragged. He "petered-out." He "came back," however. He was the rock on which the church was founded at last. The American who weakens and then strengthens is not as bad as the Judas who sells his country. He can "come back." The patriot who weakens and then "comes back" only comes back because there are others who do not weaken. If we all weakened it would be all over with us, and with patriotism, and with America. Freedom would be dead; autocracy would rule. Don't you be the one to weaken! Don't you be the "peter-out" patriot. Perhaps you canvassed in the last Red Cross or Liberty Loan campaign, and in the one before that, and the one before that, but now you are so tired! You'll let some other fellow do it. Don't do that! Buck up! You've made a good record so far ; keep it up. Let on that you've enlisted for the war; if you "peter out" you are a deserter. And don't think it will not be known. Already, here and there, you hear people saying of this one and that one, "Oh! he's a peter-out patriot. He was mighty wonderful while the job was fresh and interesting but look at him now ! He's quit!" The peter-out patriot is noticed because there are so few of him. He sticks up like a sore thumb. He is the woman who was going to let her automobile be used whenever needed for loyal work and who just can't spare it now. He is the man who was eager to write for the Vigilantes until the novelty wore off. He is the child who gave up gum and candy to buy Thrift Stamps until she forgot. He is the man who ate rationally until he lost the novelty of it and then began stuffing his over-extended belly again. He is the woman who planted her garden but stopped cultivating it when the sun grew hot. He is the man who shouts when the band goes by, and never does another blessed thing to help win the war. The peter-out patriot is the curse of any country. He rushes in at all beginnings. He is the man who makes this loyal organization show a huge membership that gradually peters-out. He is the man who boosts his town's subscription to the Liberty Loan and then fails to pay his installments. He is the man with the mental and moral hook-worm. His bump of grit is a hollow. His real love for his country is a pig's love for a troughful. Even, a pig will rush to the gate and grunt joyfully when its master appears, but it has a short memory. Instead of being a peter-out patriot, be a bulldog. Take hold and hang on. Grab a little more work between growls. There will be two phrases

of honor some day. One will be "He gave his life I

for his country." The other will be "He did his

level best for his country all through the war." There will be two great phrases of disgrace. One will be "He was shot as a deserter." The other will be "He petered-out !" -

The well known London teacher of singing, William Shakespeare, now sojourning in Los Angeles, was recently a guest of Frederick Bacon at the latter's home in Pomona. Now Mr. Shakespeare's ruddy, smiling face Is the personification of eenialitv. and

his rather high-pitched speaking voice I

is m keeping with his looks. The

story goes that shortly after his arrival In Pomona he stepped up to the postoffice window and inquired: "I say, my dear sir! Would you kindly tell me if you have any letters for William Shakespeare, care of Mr. Bacon?" The young man at the window eyed the smiling countenance, took note of the voice and remembered the epidemic of 1 Shakespeare tercentenary celebrations breaking out all over the country; he answered: "See here, old. fellow! You can't pull off any of those stunts on me!

Moment Now that the income tax season is over, the motion picture stars have begun bragging again about the large salaries they receive. A person who indulges in the insidious habt of playing the slide trombone or slip horn, as It were, can't be too careful. According to a local scribe, Army Higgins, who tortures a poor slide trambone for the Amityville brass band, was banging away at "The Stars and Stripes Forever" the other evening during a concert in the town hall, and when reaching for a low note shot his arm out sled length and the slide hit a new $40 bonnet being worn by Mrs. Lafe Turdy and knocked said bonnet into a cocked hat. Mrs. Purdy was sitting in the first row with her husband. When her husband got through with Amry nineteen folding chairs were laid up for repairs and the artistic atmosphere of the concert was entirely broken up. It takes a lot of sand to be a soldier. Agln's the chargin' Huns to make a stand; But, though in other things there is a shortage, Thank God, we've never yet run out of sand.

BABIES

The biggest baby crop in years

is

tics from Washington. Old Dr. Stork Is no slacker this year. He is right on the job. The figures for 1917 are now available, and they show that the baby crop went over the top with a whoop and hurrah. We thought we noticed it was noiser around here than it was last year, but didn't know the cause. Since we read the story from Washington, we have been looking around. Yesterday we counted twenty-eight babycabs in our block. Of course, it is a long block and is lined with large apartment house, but we maintain that twentyeight babycabs at one time is some showing. Aside from the babies In the cabs, there were exactly 178 children just beyond the baby age playing in the street. No matter what else becomes shy in this country, it doesn't look as though we are ever going to run out of population.
