MEETING THEM HALF WAY
Everybody knows how our troops,
taken as they came, average bodies
of American soldiery with short
training and no experience, hare
been meeting and defeating the best
selected German "shock troops."
Those shock troops themselves, or
rather such of them -as are' lucky
enough to survive, are said to be
very Indignant at the way the Amer
icans go about It.
The Prussians .are accustomed,
they say, to have the enemy keep un
der cover when they charge. That
gives them a chance to go forward
and gain ground. The Americans,
however, are so nnkultured as to
come right out Into the open, charg
ing and meeting them half way with
the bayonet. It isn't according to
Hoyle. They can't reconcile them
selves to it.
"We couldn't take the village,"
explained a Prussian guardsman cap
tured at Xlvray, "because the Amer
icans were where they had no busi
ness to be. They came right out
through our barrage, and it wasn't
right."
He meant it, too. Germans would
not go Into the open that way,
through a heavy curtain of shell fire.
to stop a charge before, it got under
way. They don't leap from . their
trenches with eager courage. They
are brave, but they don't like fight
ing quite well enough for that.
And that is precisely why the Am
ericans are beating them.
ROADB UlLDING IN ITALY
The tables are turned. Young
Americans are laying ties and build
lng railroads In Italy. It has long
been a familiar sight in thin country
to see the Italian laborer working on
American roadbeds and laying the
tracks. Frequently his job his been
looked down upon, and the worker
himself has been called "Tonly the
Wop" by the thoughtless and unkind.
It should never be so again.
The young American engineers
who are doing such marvelous work
In the war zone have won nothing
but praise and glory. Little, has
been said about their courage and
achievement In the light of the more
spectacular deeds of the fighting
men. But when this war Is ended
and all the brave participants receive
their due the American engme?r
will receive great and deserved trib
ute. The Tony's who dropped their

HUMAN SIDE OF WAR
What fine human stories are pour
ing In from the battle front these
days.
There Is the story.' for Instance, of
the American who, after a victorious
charge, was bringing In a squad of
prisoners when he discovered his
own father among them. Jt happen
ed that the father, after living for
some time In the United States, had
returned to Germany several yearsitnem during the fight.
ago, and when the warjiegan had
been forced Into the army.
And what was the first thing that
young German-American did when
he made the discovery? Read his
father an Instructive lecture, right
then and there, on the folly and
wickedness of being a German!
With that duty off his chest, the
lad threw an arm over the old man's
shoulder and Invited him to share the
hospitality of the American army,
promising him "the best In the
house." He got It, too.
In such Incidents, more than In
the official reports and the battle
reviews of military experts, we come
to understand the war. An eye for
human Interest" and the use of a
little Imagination make It all real
and vital.

An interesting development in connection with the hostile shelling of the
territory around Mont des Cats, In the Kemmel region, where the famous
Trapplst monastery is located, Is the fact that the Germans have been bom
berdlng this Flemish elevfctloa heavily and the monks' home has been badly
dumnged,
The German emperor recently wrote a letter to his commander In that
area asking that Mont des Cats be spared because the aged prior of the
monastery was the only living person who knew where the emperor's relative.
Prince Max of Hnsse, had been buried after his death In the monastery In
October, 1914. The prince is attached to the cavalry which occupied Mont
des Cats after the outbreak of the war.
In an engagement with British cavalr, Prince Max was mortally
wounded and was taken to the monastery. While be was being nursed by
the monks his comrades were driven from, the bill by the British, who occu
