volumes of air escaping to the surface.
A third depth eharire was

division, a crack unit, was ordered into
battle to stop the pressure of the
French in the valley of the Ardre. It
was a regiment of this division which
lost one-third of its number on July
22. The next day the commander of
the 10th company reported he had
been reduced to 35 men. The commander
of the 12th company declared
no one was left In the seventh company.
In other battalions of the regiment
similar conditions were reported.
Prisoners say the 30th regiment
lost from 60 to 75 per cent of effectives

The number of effectives in
the average German company is now
about 90 men exclusive of officers and
supplementary non-commissioned officers.
? From sections of the German army
there are being drawn a certain proportion
of officers and the sturdiest
soldiers for the formation of a force
of half a million men which is to receive
special training and have special
organization. There are to be no
Voles or Alsatians in this army but
only fighters that the kaiser believes
he can trust to the last, writes a
London Times correspondent. This
Germiin force Is not to be used as a
hammer in any new drive for Paris:
it Is not to be used for any blow
against the British: it is not to be
used to "punish" the Americans, but.
according to information reaching Allied
commanders, is being formed for
no other purpose than to stand back
of the Rhine against an Invasion of
German soil. It so happens that any
Allied approach to the Rhine would
be through the Alsace-Lorraine line,
on a large part of which American
forces stand. it is mis lorce mat me
Americans will face when, with the
French, we jret ready to "take the war
to Germany." Come what may between
now and that time, the kaiser
wants to be sure to have the force
with which to make the stand for the
Fatherland and himself. Then the
formation for such an army for such
a purpose at such a time, when the
kaiser needs all his available forces
on the western front, what could better
show that the Gennan hijrh command
realises that the tide of war is
bound, to turn. If. indeed, it has not i
already done so? One may not say

..a,.,.., ,.n Thill uminila liko the
great Englishman has at last caught
the American i?lca?the Wood row
Wilsbn idea. This is a Christian war
so far as the Allies are concerned?a
war for right, truth and Justice for all
people. It is necessary for the Allie?
to conquer; hut it is not necessary foi
them to subjugate, God has made it
clear to the world that He does not allow
that any more, and the Allies will
be silly to lose sight of this all important
fact.
It was ft on. retain who planned and
executed the second battle of the
Marne. (Jen. Koch told him to do it,
of course; but he is the man who had
to work out the details. And it was a
magnificent piece of work, for which
he has received the highest military
decoration the French have to give.
This is the Medaille Militaire. It is
borne usually by privates only, to
whom it is awarded for the most reremarkable
intelligence and courage in
seemingly impossible circumstances.
Only a very few generals have ever
been awarded this medal, and there
are not more than half a dozen in the
whole French army who wear it at
this time. Gen. Petain could not have
been more highly honored, and the
French army could not have been honored
more highly in any other way.
In an article printed a few days ago
Lieutenant Col. Kcpington. the wellknown
military critic, said Itritish
losses during the war have been close
to 2.00O.000 men gross and about 1.000.000
net. Hy that he means that
out of a total of 2.000.000 killed,
wounded, captured and otherwise incapacitated.
recovery of the sick,
wounded, etc.. has reduced the gross
loss one-half. Col. Itepington quotes
Clemcnceau's paper (I/Ilomme Libre)
as putting the German loss at 4.760.000
not. Ho thinks the Germans have
suffered not less than 1.000.000 gross
casualties this year. Col. Ropington
states that although more than 7.000.000
men have lteen raised throughout
the British empire not more than
1.000.000 of them have actively served
in France.
There is no use in destroying German
property as the Germans lu^ve
destroyed French and Belgian property.
That was silly and cruel in the
Germans and it would bo foolish in
the Allies. It is better to leave them
their property with which to pay the
big bills they have incurred in the
destruction of the private property of
the Allies. But we do urge this as a
raattor of simple justice and right;
thb violation of women and girls and
the buohory of o|.l men and children X

kaiser, is responsible for that crime, jjii

All of the speaking candidates sj?ok

Through the thought fulness of J. I

the l'orest Hill meeting was made th
occasion of a basket picnic. Th

bill a big barrel of ice water thought
fully furnished by .Mr. Currencc, .Mi
it. S. Clean and others, contributed I
the comfort of everybody.
The meeting was opened with th
singing ot America, with an organ ac

Mr. I. I'. Itoyd, and the s|ieukcrs wer
held down to short time limits?tc
minutes each for the legislative enndi

others. The time allotted was atnpl
for some: but others were cut ol
short in the middle of sentences, nn
John M. Williford complained,
"Hefore I had time to get around.
The good old chairman called m

After the speaking the ladie

him it was not far from Camhrai. He _
said tlint jiositively tile most heroic n
