American brigades un hesitatingly and cheerfully merge?. uto French and British units, u terve under officers of those countries aut when. the allied command saw hat a new situation allowed the with irawal of our divisions and theii grouping in an "American Army" unf ier their own higher officers, the new process was completed with neatness' iispatch, and good-will. There were t-alid arguments for each of the two alternative arrangements. On the other hand, until our officers sine men had gone through a certair imount of the actual experience ape study on the field of modern warfare ?in which .a year's changes and in novations amount to more than hah a century of de.t* >pment" in the mil itary art during : times of peace?r. was clearly to the advantage of the allies' cause to have our divisions di rected by the; veteran warriors oi France and Great Britain. Moreover! aJthougft it already- seems a fairly re mote historical situation rather than a phase of this very"campaign (so com pletely has Foch turned the tables on { the enemy), the months just passed when our men were arriving in Eu' rope, have been months'' of almos desperate defensive measures calling for any device of expediency. On. the other hand, It is obvious that Amer ican troops will be seen at their con cert pitch of morale, enthusiasm, anc efficiency when^lirected by their owi higher officers ?!|d when fighting a? Integral units of /"an American army But" that there should have beer sympathetic agreement to and co* operation in, first the one and ther the alternative plan, with the proces? of amalgamation and its reVersa' smoothly carried out, is a matter not to be valued lightly.

A German Paper Says Xo Buying from America, if it Can. be Avoided. Amsterdam, Sept. 25 ('Correspond ence)-?"No buying from America if it can possibly be avoided," must be the German watch-word after, the war, is the assertion of the Rhenish West phalian G?zetter, an important Ger man industrial organ. The reason given by the paper is that, before the war,\ .the. balance of trade between the United States and Germany was agkmst Germany to the extent of nearly- 1,000.000,000 marks a year. Germany imported from the. United States goods to the value of 1,71*1, 000,000 rharks while German exports to the* United States amounted to 7;L3,000,00p marks: Dividends on ?erman holdings .of American securi ties,Jn^add!tlon, helped to pay the bill for g*oods ;bpu ght in America. "How could we possibly meet a still, further increased. debit balance," asks the paper in despair. "We had to realize our American securities to pay for raw materials while the Unit ed Siates was still neutral, to meet demurrage Oh our ships held in Amer can ports." : The conclusion seems inevitable to the" Gazette that Germany must so curtail her cotton and copper imports from 5the United States that they do hot exceed or only .slightly exceed, her owe exports of. fertilizers, dyes chemicals, etc. The rest of Germany's ^erstwhile import?lfrom. America, it .says, can and must^ be stricken off the^ list. - "Our imports of American agri cultural machinery must cease," says the writer. The openings offered in Russia,; Rumania and the Balkans are so great that we must push our own machinery, there with all our might." Sweden -and the AHies. A thdrough revulsion of feeling has taken place in the attitude of Sweden towards her powerful and unscrupu lous neighbor to the south. And that she at last realizes the advantage and the desirability, of reaching out her hand for'a hearty clasp of under standing with America, is the opinion of Captain Sten Dehlgren, general, manager of Dagens Nyheter" (The Daily.News), Stockholm,-and*Dr. An ton Karlgren, it; managing editor, who have recently visited this country. It is vital for Sweden, they maintain, to consider more closely her future relations with the United States, on which country she so largely depends for raw. material for her industries. The century-old fear of Russia which ? induced her now evaporating pro-. Germanism, as well as manifold po- ; litical problems at home, prevented a clear popular insight into the ra tionale of America's entry into the-, i war and of the allied cause in gen eral. Before the recent commercia' agreement between the entente and ; the present pro-ally government at Stockholm there was imminent a com. ; pulsor^appro?ch to*:; Germany asf-thi ; one possible, chough rather doubtful. ; source of badly needed supplies, es- i pecially foodstuffs. But the entente: \ not willing to" allow Sweden to ally ] herself perforce with the Teutons, ! granted the hitherto disap: roved pas j' sage of iron ore to Germany,. which j: Germany insisted upon as the primary | condition for the safe-conduct of the 11 ships carrying supplies to Sweden. The Swedes, of late certainly distrust- 1 ful of Germany's policies toward smal1 ; nations, feel that the agreement draws them into closer sympathy with ? the entente, and in fact welcome it a < a step in the elirection of, unusua prosperity, brought about, as far a? possible, by an eventual Swedish, rather than German, middlemanshir < between the Anglo-Saxon - and the Russian countries.?From "Sweden a Trade Rival of Germany," in . th* i American Review of Reviews for' Oc tober. Tanks the xlnswer to Barbed Wire and The Machine Gun. The tank is essentially^ the answej to barbed wire and ihe machine gun. The impelling motive for its construc tion was found in the frightful losses of the British troops in "their" assault; against the German intrenched po sitions. The heroic but vain 'attack at Neuve" Chapelle had shown that mere dash and stubborn courage did not avail against positions, the ap proaches to which were swept- by a hail of bullets from hidden machine guns. The nests in which these mur derous weapons were concealed were difficult to locate, even from the air Then the British, : thanks to the creation of vast munitions plants found themselves amply supplied with artillery and high-explosive shell, and by subjecting the enemy po sitions to concentrated drum-fire from all their guns, big and little, they broke up the barbed wire defenses and tore to pieces the trenches. The Germans came back by ? concealing their machine"guns in dugouts so deer that they were proof against the heaviest shells, and as the British came over the top, these guns were brought up and used with deadly ef fect. Even in the case of successfu* attack, when .the first-line position? I were taken, the British, in their fur ther advance, were swept by machine gun'fire from concealed positions. \ The tank was designed as an aux iliary to drum-fire and the barrage; its duty was to advance with the in fantry and silence the batteries and machine gun positions which the ar tillery had failed to locate and de stroy. Stationed at intervals along thr line of attacking troops and some what ahead, they hunted out defensive positions and silenced them by slaugh tering the gunners or bodily riding over and crushing down the emplace ments. Whenever the advance en^. countered a zone of fire that could not be crossed, except with prohibitive losses, the tanks moved out, their steel walls impervious to rifle and ma chine gun fire, and cleared the way. ?From "The Tank and Its Work on the Battlefield." by .1.

I London, Oct. 29 (British Wireless Service).?Civilian departures from lower Rhineland and part of West* ph .lia, which were begun on a smali scale when the first allied bombs hit Cologne, have developed into a panic fiig* t, according to The Hague cor respondent of The Daily Mail. All the bankt? are being stormed by deposi tors who are withdrawing their say ings in' Germany bank notes of as high a value as are obtainable, the 1(W mark note having an appreciable market value over lower currency. But even small notes of one mark, are. being taken eagerly. '.Not only are some of the banks at their wits' end for legal currency to pay out deposits, but in places, es pecially Cologne and Dusseldorf, all except local, and therefore value less,, .currency has disappeared as if by magic. Everybody who can possibly afford it, is trying to make his or her way eastward. Scores of houses stand empty. Even in Berlin financial panic has seized the people, and the ordinary paper currency of the . empire has vanished.- The municipality has been compelled to issue emergency cur rency to the value of about 50,000,000 marks, valid until February . 1 next, within the confines of Greater Ber lin. Tradesmenmay refuse to ac cept this currency, or, at least de: cime to change the notes, except when compelled! to take them in pay ment for goods already delivered. ? The big German banks have pub lished flaming appeals to "our fellow j citizens" not to withdraw deposits and riot to hoard currency notes. But the. rush on the banks* has grown worst, than ever. The working people of Cologne., seeing the war factories closed down, big houses evacuated and eastbouiid trains crowded with' well-to-do fugi tives, are demanding immediate, peace more insistently than ever. A mani festo which has been issued by'a-seo tion of the Social Democrats de clares that if. the emperor does hoi voluntarily abdicate he. will be. re moved. It says: "If the necessity arises arid the hour conies, the or ganized masses of labor, with strong middle class support, will remove every hindrance to peace which doe: not voluntarily yield to the will, oj the huge majority of the people.". Frank 1L Simonds on St. Mihiel. The >result was swiftly revealed. By-night the world knew that the St. Mihiel salient had ceased to exist; ,b> the next iriorning the Americans on the plain had joined hand with those coming down from the heights at Vigneulles and foot of the Meust Hills straight across the Woevrc Plain to the Moselle below Pont-a Mousson in substantially a straight line. Before General Pershing ha<; announced what, his own birthday's gift from his soldiers had been, the German official statement conceded that the salient had been evacuated, protesting, that the evacuation had been foreseen and was accomplished I without interference. As a matter oij face the first phase the American J operations had been accomplished more- nearly without interference and, before the battle was forty-eight hours old more than 15,000 prisoner*: and a large bag of guns had been counred, while the total of captives was destined to reach 25.000. In ad dition 150 square miles of French ter ritory, containing villages which were intact because the German left too rapidly to perform his useful service of destruction, had been reconquered in twenty-four hours, the front had been shortened by twenty miles. The official statement of Pershing, publish ed ' on Saturday morning, September 14, reported the completion of the reduction of the salient and stated the line on which the victorious Amer ican troops now "stood. Up to this moment the enemy had attempted no counter-offensive. His losses had been extremely heavy and ours relatively insignificant, because his resistance had been so weak. In twenty-four hours and under the eyes of the- Secretary of War and the American Commander-iri-Chief in the field, our First Army thus" abolished the St. Mihiel salient, one of the s congest positions on the whole Wes tern front, defeated an enemy force composed both of Germans and Aus trians; numbering certainly as ? many men as General Lee commanded at Gettysburg or the Wilderness, anc took at least, a quarter of the op posing forces prisoners. In its sur: prising completeness the achievement compared with "that1 of Byng at Cam brai, but'this achieveirient was the work of a veteran army and the greai possibilities which the early succes at Cambrai opened were lost later a; a result of a successful German coun ter-offensive.?From "Forward All Along the Line," by Frank H.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION CABD& New Home Cards to Be Issued Decem ber 1. ^ Columbia, Oct. 30.?Because of the epidemic of Spanish . influenza throughput' the country, the United States; Food Administration has post poned the distribution of . its new Home Card until December 1. The original plan contemplated the open ing of this campaign October 27. However, the new conservation pro gram, which- is considered vital, will be pushed uninterruptedly. Meetings of all. kinds having been banned' on account of the epidemic the aid of* the churches, the schools, the F?ur-Minute speakers, libraries, lodges ,and; patriotic workers could not be secured for the strenuous cam paign in the planning of > which they were essential parts; It is hoped that by December 1st, necessity tor quarantined conditions will "have^ dis appeared. 'A --; Preparatory to the issuance of 20; 000,000 home cards on that date, the food administration will have per fected, through the cooperation Of the federal food administrators throughout the country, a plan of dis tribution, which it is anticipated: will result in the placing of home cards bearing the latest suggestions of . the: food administration in. the hands of every American. housewife simultan^ eously. Disregarding the precedent set in the first Home Card distribution,, .the food administration will make no ef-. fort to reduplicate the pledges of more than twelve million American housewives who . last year signified their willingness to cooperate'iir the conservation of all foodstuffs, as it is apparent that American, womanhood will'aid the food administration in helping to supply the nutritive sinews of war to the allies and America's armed forces. . The new Home Card will contain no I regulations regarding either "wheai less" or "meatless" days, " but- will urge as a whole, the most-carefiT saving in all edibles, particularly in the conservation of wheat, meat, fats and sugar. The significant fact thatt iw will he necessary! for the United States to -send 5,, 3-4 million , torn more foodstuffs to the^aihes this year th<~n last, with an almost staggering tt ;1 of 17 1-2 nrilion-tons for the coming year will re-awake, the su pervisor of the family market basket to the* urgent necessity of maintain ing a patriotic watchfulness over the spread, of her individual table in or der that the. 120,000,000 allies sitting at a "common table'* with America uiay have the stamina with which to bring the war to a successful conclu sion .in 1919. INDIFFERENT TO SHELL FIRE. King Albert and Premier demen ceau Excite Admiration of Belgiai? Soldiers. London. Sept. 30 (Correspondence of The.Associated Pfess)?r-King Al bert of Belgium and Premier Clem enceau of France were apparently^sc indifferent to shell fire to which, they were exposed while the premier was visiting the Belgian front recently ac. to arouse the admiration .of? the Bel gian soldiers. _ One of them describes: the incident thus: "The scene 2s laid among- the ruins of a part of the Belgian front daily shattered by shells, bombs, or aerial torpedoes. In the street parallel to the church a little group of persons are walking. A tall -khaki , figure seems to be guiding a civilian and some French officers. It is a Belgian general wandei-ing leisurely up and down answering questions and giving explanations to his guests. From our dug-out we soldiers watch with cur riosity. "Suddenly a whistle, an explosion and a burst of smoke but thirty yards from the visitors. Not one of them took any notice. Another. It falls quite near. The Belgian general, the civilian and their suite have-not turn ed their. heads,. merely continue their walk as slowly as before. While the fire continues, . the ^.visitors are get ting nearer our dug-put and we stand at attention. . "The Belgian general is King '. Al bert, the civilian M. Clemenceau." Gabriele d'Annunzio. London, Sept. 30 (Correspondence of the Associated Press).?-The air exploits of Gabriele d'Aimv- \o, the Italian poet, novelist and-dramatist, have taken a strc .g hold'on "the Brit ish public's imagination, and' he is acclaimed here as one of the world's foremost figures in aerial warfare. The London papers, which recently have been devoting considerable space to the daring^ Italian, express sur prise that a man of his age and tem perament was able t?; make so re markable a success as an airman. Few expected, the Daily Express says. I that the "dandy Roman poet" would! become an air fighter after passing his fiftieth birthday i Above all,' it is pointed out, he is an inspiration to his people. His deeds during the war are known to all the world, but few outside Italy realize that he has been ? the great est public orator of his country ' na the war began.; His speeches ar of prose music, and the message which he dropped over Vienna was written as only a poet and a soldier could write. IVAxmunzio as a squadron leader is said to be not only fearless, but un tiring. Routine bombing and chasing have no attractions for him. His fer tile brain is constantly at work de vising new methods for harrying the enemy in unexpected directions. That Is why the Austrians hate him so in tensely. It is believed here that his fate would be dire if he fell into the ene my's hands, and London is quite ready to credit the story that he carries in his tunic pocket a little phial of pois on.
