Some of them will, although it

Some of them will not, anil the

Will tell the story of their

wounded is growing but
there is no wailing from
such boys as Verne Boynton,
William Searcey and dell
Brown. Their injuries have
but increased their fighting
spirit and their determination
to whip the Hun until the kai
' ser's policy of imperialism and
frightfulness is downed forever.
If our boys can face shrap
nel and cold steel and poison
eas without flinching what
about the civilian population?
Shall we cry over a trifling reg
ulation as to sugar and wheat
consumption, over liberty bonds
and income tax payments.

ANY folk will lay too
much stress on. the
advances the allies
have been making recently. It
is splendid news and signifi
cant. Foch has taken the ini-
'tiative from the Germans. The
'TTim nrmv rfif siTrsjlr Vioa Vo
come an army of retreat. The
enemy has lost heaVily in men,
equipment and territory.
Yet we have not yet won
back all the ground lost during
the spring. From a standpoint
of terntayy we are not as ad
vantageously t located as in
early March. 'All this shows
that the foe has not been in
pell mell flight by any means,
lie has been forced at times to
run because he was whipped.
But much of the withdrawal
has been for the purpose of se
curing better ground. It is
therefore to be assumed that
he will soon make a stand and
hold his positions.
Some people think the allies
should be able to keep on driv
ing the foe back to the very
Rhine. It is not logical to ex
pect this now. Our best in
formed men are inclined to the
view that our real big offen
sive will not come until spring,
We will then have another mil
lion men in France, we will
have a greater superiority in
aircraft and artillery.
Don't get the notion the war
is won or nearly won. It is yet
a long road to Berlin and it is
idle to expect victory until af
ter the fighting season of 1919.
Meanwhile we have a German
peace offensive to obliterate.
If game laws prevailed in
Europe Foch's daily report
would say, 'Our boys went out
this morning and got the limit."

Noble tells a thrilling story of Mr.
O'ltourko's bravery; how he saved
his comrades under shell fire; how
he held off a German bom bins at
tack for two hours and killed eight
Hermans and took two prisoners
while acting as a stretcher bearer. So
distinguished for bravery was Mr.
G'Hourke that not only was he rec
ommended for the cross by the offi
cers of his own regiment, the fanion.
7th Infantry, but by the officers or
several other regiments as wll.
With all his honors he is decidedly
modest. It Is not from O'Kourke
himself that one is able to lenrn the
deeds which won him his distinguihea
medals from the Hritish government.
H is In the citings of the government i
Itself, or from friends that the truth j
about the things he has done can bo j
learned. Friends declare he Is one i
fortunate as to have his commanding
officer killed In the fray he loses all
chance at winning the coveted cross.
Thus It was that O'ltotirke won his
cross thrice over before It was award
ed him.
The Victoria Cross Is fashioned
from bronze, made from the metal
from guns captured from the Rus
sians in the Crimean war. As there
is not much bronze left the English
are chary of their awards of the cros.
Not more t han fiOrt Victoria Crosses

half of the men to whom they have
bein awarded have not lived to re

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 24. Profni- !
onal soldiers like Generals von Ulume j e
and von Libert do not seek to lK-lit- StS
tie the significance of the American j
army on the west front. ES
General von Hlume, who is on thejgjE
retired list, writes an article on the Elj
subject which appears In the Jihein-J-
Ische West FaHische Zeitung of Ks-
sen. He frankly admits that "we have I S
to recognize that the Americans, all in jg
all, hae done very smart work and j3
it would be a very Kerious thing if the j s
German army command bad to faecj
an American fighting army of mill!- j
on." i e
Almost irnmeditely after the article
appeared a serni-of filial statement wa? j SSr3
issued to the effect that the "exag- !EI
gerating reports going about regarding
the size of the American army in Ku- .33
rope merit n credenre and only exi.-t jEErs

propaganda." The statement Mil
further that "the tonnrr.-" question,
