By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

Paris, Sept. 21. The most stubborn
fighting seen ia weeks is taking place in
the regions of Cambrai, St. Quentin nd

and is thus attacking. The allies are
meeting the attacking Trusslana in mid
field in some of the wildest, fiercest
grapples of ths war.
Hun Not Yet Licked.
One big fact stands out in this fight
ing the boches are not yet licked. For
weeks the general tone of war stories
has been that the Huns haven't any
more fight io them. But if you want to
make any regular fighting man mad, be
he American, British or French, just in
timate that bis Job is easy and that the
war is now over. He knows Germany
can be licked finally, but he readily d
mits that much bard scrapping is certain
before the knockout. He' insist thst the
many stories to the contrary are helping
the boche. He points out that the Huns
have shortened their line 70 miles by
their retreat, as it result of which only
134 German divisions are holding the
line now st compared with fit 140 rrcd
ed before Marshal Foch's counter offen
sive. Enemy Reserve Stronger.
Tbea the Germans had only S3 divis
ions in reserve and 33 restiug or refitting-
Now they hsve 13 in rf serve sud
71 resting or refitting, end three weeks
is considered ample time to refit, unices
something happens to prevent it. Von
Hindenhurg thus shortly will have M
divisions io reserve resdy for operations.
In the meantime, the allies sre now Bp
against a line of the Huns own choosing,
giving the latter a big advantage. t'n
less the Germsns are torn out of these
positions they will be able to bo!d them
with fewer troops still, thus increasing
the number of reserve divisions out of
tbe line, resting and training.

first of all, as a aim of growinr in
terest toward eor eoBntry and fitBer
appretatioa of oar particaisr situation.
I do sot wish to be misunderstood
when I refer to our particular aituati&B.
W til, of course, know asd feet thst
taere ia only one estsse. Bat the ex
periences of these four years has tanfht
thst the best way of farthering it is
not to overlook a situation that is njt-
araiiy varied and nt to overlook tb
particular aingie members of tbe aiit
asee. Now, what is the partirsilsr situation
in Italy?
Our brilliant recovery from tbe Cnp-
oretto disaster aroused popalsr sympa
thy in America, where ear caase sad
conduct sever perhaps received a fait
measure of apprecistion. But our task
did not end there. Our soldiers bravely
stopped and repelled he Austre-Han-fartan
onshnght at tbe I'Htve; bat that
is only a beginning. They sre now
faced with the bigger task of driving
ths enemy from oar invaded provinces.
Spirits f Army Kigh.
Csn our soldiers atone do tbat?
aft hop so. Sever hss ths spirit of
oar Ermybeea so high; sever bit the
determination of oar poaatry, thoasth
Utard tried by all possible sacrifices.
aatwrieg and privations beea so'strosi
and unasintous, -
Yet, one must oot forget two tbinrs;
First, thst of all tbe allies now fight
ing, the Italians are the weakest. Sec
ond, tbat they are faced ty a very pow
erful and efficient foe.
What oar king said lately to a rep
resentative of the Paris Matin is per
fectly frae and worth considering.
If Austria suffers famine, he re
marked, " ber soldier r welt fed.
If sh lacks leather, her sotdisrs have
good shoes. It is an army stitt very
strong, of a country of Bi'.OOO.Otsf in
habitant. Turned entiriy againtt a,
having n longer anv enemy in the east.
Austna has not weakened herself these
Isst months by a single division.
Afflcrieaas Only Base,
ueb being the situation, on eaa eas
ily understand tbe chance will he great
er if we are able to count on effective
support from our allies. But, as the
British and French are kept bHy en
gaged oa tbe westers frost, to whom
should we look, if not the Americans-
what armies are big, fresh and avail
able for alt purposes.
This the reason why, gives the pir
t!"!t!ar aituation oa the Italian froat, we
welcome tb suggestion of the late
Senator Tillman and hope it will be
favorably received by President Wilson
sad the Americas people.
Bat there are other reasons, and even
stronger why, for the sak not of uur
particular hut foe geaera! situation, the
young asd splendid American legions.
sbsaid be hastened to Italy Such reas
ons ar foasd in th logical sequel at
development of the policy adopted by
President WUson, Jince the president
ha pledged hi country to free all
branches of th Slav race under Aaa
trian misrule, since, particularly, he has
recognised the national Caeeb Slovak
council, he ia bgieaity sound to fight
Austria sd enforce bis policy by tb
sword.
Austria Mast 8 Oafs!!.
Iet a sot be deprived by certain
current fallacies. To believe there I
ont one foe, and that once Germany
is defeated tbe aliire will be able to
do what they like with Austria, ia an
absurdity, Evea when Germany is
driven back t i the Rhine, the allies will
sot b able to bring about th independ
ence of Bohemia and Jugo-Stavia, tf
the Austrian armies are eeiit ss the left
baak of tbe Piave. If, when we speak
of breaking ap Austria, j know what
w mean, w cannot xpct thia to com
out about by automatic operatioa or
complacent suicide on ber part We
first must heat Austria Is th field.
Presides Wiisoa id rightly to hi
