That "Invincible" Hindenburg Line.
f?ir Douglas Hsig ha matched hi skill ogainst the
cleverness of the Ucrmau high command ones moro
and the result aa usual la a brilliant victory for the
Hrlilah and a .tinging defeat for tha Teutona. And.
o far na tha history of tho war on the French front
la concar . It I only unothrr demonstration of the
superiority of llrlllah military genius when pitted
against German psychology.
Bln.e Klald Marshal Halg waa placad In command
of the British forcea In that region there hain't haen
any flukes In the allied progresa. It may have been
alow for a. time but It haa been cerluin. The borhe
tranche hav baen I oat one after another with a.rc-
aaauilng regularll y and "Htraleglc" retreata have been
forced on the muMerful Hindenburg for no other
reaaon than that he haa at all tlmea been outclaased
both in the theory and practica of war atrategy and
In men and equipment and morale. The Brillen aol-
dlera and thone from the colonlea who ara fighting
with them have confident' In their commander.
Whan I he alaga la aet and they receive the order to
go over tho top. they well know that the offonalve
hua been clantlflcally thought out and carefully
planned that defeat la not to be thought of. In thl
epirli i hey have uteadlly moved forward aa tho Oar-
niana have been steadily puahed backward.
Halg knew what the Job waa when ha took It that
the natural resources of the territory - held by tha
Uermuna In France ware naceaaary to the aucceaa of
the allied cause and he aet about to drive the anemy
out. lie haa been doing It without wasting any time.
Wo recall tha baltlea of Arraa and Vlmy Heights'
we remember lna and Ht. guen4iu. In thla region
then are coal minea foundrlta and engineering worka
Halg wanted them and ho haa been aucvaaaful In gat-
ting soma of them. Ha patiently mined a Qarmon
atronghold In tha north and blew up thouaanda of tha
enemy forcea. Quietly ha doea' his work and tha
people and newepapers do the hurrahing. There
aren't any royal proclamations no efforta to dooelva.
Hla work apeaka for ltaolf. H la a little myetarlous
and always unluue; but he geta rceults. That la what
counta In this war that Is what hurt the prld of
the Ocrhian high uoramand.
In this latest drive. U I said that General Julian
Byng hail much to do with Its auccesa General Byng
who fought on'the Uulllpoll peninsula and who wsa
with the C'anadluna In that bloody fight at Vlmy. All
honor to General Byng; but Halg knew and Halg ap-
proved or there would have bean no well-planned
offensive which la unparalleled in the history of th
war In th manner of It achievement. War tactic
hav a singular way of changing1 the old well-tried
and aeemlngly Indlapenaabla giving way to the new;
but even In thla day of startling Innovation few
military atrateglata would have been willing to aend
their Infantry Into the nnemy territory without th
Initial artillery work aend them in behind a few
tanks. But the result la proof of the aoundneas of
thla theory. The modern juggernauts crashed through
the barbd-wlre entanglement and over the dugout
of the unauepacttng foe spreading terror and con-
sternation In their wake while the Brltlah Infantry-
men followed up to finish the Job under tin protec-
tion of their artillery. There waa little opportunity to
fight back. Troop after troop of the German sur-
rendered and were happy when In the protecting cages
of the allied army aa their prisoners. Th only thing
which seemed poaalble for the paralysed enemy to do
was to aet off distress signals with which they fairly
burned up the aky.
Hints from Washington point to the fact that th
western defense had been weakened by reaaon of the
kaiser Bending men guna and ammunition to the
Italian front. Thla is very probable; and It la quite
pOMibl that the British knew just where to strike.
Here Is where th vauntad German military Ingenuity
take another count. Here Is where th loudly-
proclaimed Herman psychology settles down In the
back seat again. Tha German high command took
council among themselves and decided that because
of the weather condition there couldn't b any offen-
sive from their enemies in the north; they could
therefore transfer a goodly number of their soldlera
and their equipment to the Italian front and there
deliver a sever and probably a rushing blow to the
aillos. And they did It they transferred the men
but they have yet to leport the crushing blow al-
though tbey now have an opportunity to question III
Invincibility of their military advisers. Hindenburg
haa been hit hard. Markensen la unable to break
down th Italian defenae notwithstanding h haa been
surrounded with the beat the German and Auatrlans
had to offar In th way of man and aqulprocnt. The
Important territory In Kram e la slipping from the
hands of the Invaders and It appears that for some
reason or other it Is impossible for the boche to
prese forwardeven with Gott! Th God of the Ger-
mans It mm Is no match for that quiet military
student Wr Ijougla Halg!
Thar I much discussion just now In official cir-
cle an out of ihenr a to whelhsr th submarines

but may they not be mobilising for massed attack
on some port? W shouldn't get too confident In
thla war.
In campaigning Tammany declared that th high
coat of living waa blainable upon th altUhel admin-

Anyway we can sleep better on no news from Huasla
Usaa on th cri-cros stuff that la being cabled out.
n whs la continually talking about his duty
at much Urn ta attend to It-
Flaying the Pottmaster General.
Th resolution Introduced by Ik postal employe
and adopted by th American Federation of Labor
at It Buffalo meeting Isn't very complimentary to
oar owa Tvxaa postmaster general and tha manner In
which he ha been treating th employe of his de-
partment. It la trti that some members of th asso-
ciation aligned themselves against tha action of tha
assembly pleading for a square dssl for th govern-
ment asking that no snap Judgment should be taken
and put oa record and that th accused be given hla
day In court But the majority thought different and
th resolution was adoptsd after It waa declarad that
Mr. Burleson hsd Invaded every right of these em-
ploye for which they had fought for twenty-five
years; that he was an autocrat who forced upon
workman unsatisfactory conditions and that men had
been dismissed from servio for organisation activities.
In the course of th discussion Thorns E. Flaherty
of ths National Federation of Postal Employes de-
clared that the whole tendency of tha day waa toward
government control In many branches of Industry
and public utilities and that the present Is the very
beat time to begin democratising government servios.
Bo far as thla action of ths American Federation of
Labor Is concerned It Is probably final. Tha mem-
bership seemed to be favorable to thus putting them-
selves on record against ths action of ths postmaster
general all of which Is their bualness. But ths matter
calls up for conslderstlon what haa been said con-
cerning labor by representatives of ths government.
In the light of the posstbls changes which ars slowly
coming In this country and which wera referred to
by Mr. Flaherty. The question of conscripting labor
has been mentioned more then once. This hss been
strongly hinted st as a splendid Innovation by some
big business Interests behind which. It has been
charged waa a rosy vision of cheaper labor.
Concerning these things. Secretary of Labor Wliaon
haa said: "Under no circumstance will labor be con-
ecrlpted In a private-profit employment. If the lum-
ber industry cannot get along without conscripting
labor then tho forest and the mills must be taken
over by th government." And I-ouls Pot Mr. Wil-
son's assistant declares: "The time may coma when
It will be necessary to conscript labor but when that
time comes It will be necessary to take over the In-
dustry In which ths labor Is conscripted." As neither
of these statements have to our knowledge been
denied by the president or any cabinet member it
seems to be perfectly clear that this Is th position
of th administration; and being such it Is as fair to'
labor as it may well be. Such a condition of affairs
would Indicate that the managers of the big business
Interests would soms day wake up clutching In one
hand little printed government receipts for their rail-
road and coal mine and munition factoría and In
their other hand government check probably re-
deemable In Llherty bond for the exact physical
values thereof no more no less. They will be on
Uncle Sam's payroll; while th common man; who
works with hla hand -for a living will go right on
working and be on a common footing with his erat-
while employer also one of Uncle Ham's employee.
Tho American Federation of Labor ! also on record
aa appealing for federal legislation to smpower the
food administration to establish .-o. operative stores
and co-operative distribution of life necesaltlea all
to share In the heneflta If they like whether they be
union membera or not. The Federation has gone on
record aa supporting the government In Its war plans.
It haa taken action In strike centers snd hss really
done a great work for the country. When all this Is
oonsldsred it seems that It Is tha opinion of organized
labor that those who work with their handa for a
living can trust the government at Washington to
give thsm a squsrs deal trust It implicitly. Then
comes the discordant note. Una of oar department
heads Is declared to be an autocrat and unfit for the
position he la occupying. It Is not the unanimous
sentiment of the Federation that such Is the case
however nor does ths action of th assembly Indicate
peolally that there la not confidence In the govern-
ment to do tho right thing by all the citizens of tha
country. It Is something In the nature of a rather
serious charge snd It should be given some attention.
If the postal employes are mistreated they should
have relief. If the postal employes through their
representatives In the Federation meeting have mis-
represented the postmaster genera) should be vindicated.
Sometimes you walk Into a store and a clerk Jumps
to be the first to wait upon you. He la there to sell
goods and work never bothers him. He Is willing to
take down half the goods In. ths store In bis efforta
to pirase you. Hs makes sales and will risa In life.
But there Is anothsr class of clerka They let you
hunt them up when the bos Is not around how
you a few good as possible and srs not at all both-
ered If you walk away without finding what you want.
They get tbetr calarles Just the same It le the em-
ployer only who lose. And they will always be
clerks Just clerks.

The Disease-Proof Man.
The anthropological sharps have been discussing
thn proposition that the man of the futuro will be
without teeth and hair for they say there Is no
mors rigid law of nature than that the ussless shall
perish. The hat performs ths function for which
hair was dsslgned and the teelh ara being put out
of business by premastlcated foods. So teeth and
hair It la contsnded will pasa away. Than why not
the stomach too? Predlgested foods Isavs It nothing
to do and It la thtrefore useless. Indeed by a recent
operation a man was surgically relieved of a sore
stomach and haa since been well and comfortable.
It has already been suggssted ssys tha British
Mnii.nl Journal that ths vermiform appendix should
be removed from every Infant as a routine measure.
Thus relief would be gained from one troublesome
organ that has fallen Into dlause. But this Is clesrly
Insufficient. The surgery of the future must Include
tar more than this. The tonsils and turbinate bonss
of the nose must siso be out out beoauss thsy harbor
germa What Arbythnot Lane calls the "human cess-
pool" that Is the large Intestine must also be re-
moved along with a considerable portion of the ali-
mentary canal becauee It only gives trouble and won't
be needed whan we are living on labloidad foods and
pills. The readily decaying teeth are already pulled
out early tu life and the germ-proof store variety
inserted. The felling human sys will be anticipated
by spectacles In early youth. Deficient moral sense
and degeneracy ore being treated by ventilation of tho
brain and removal of offending areas.
Thus defended against th peril of civilisation the
man of the future may be able In his Journey through
Ufa to defy the countleaa snsmles that seek to rob him
of health.
