The Soldier’s Faith
Thoughts are embryo deeds which
subjected to the proper stimulus will
materialise in action. This is essen
tially a war in which thoughts are
employed as well as bullets and bayo
nets. It is a test of morale against
morale. Tn such a struggle, it is nec
essary that the American soldier be
lieve something and believe it quite
definitely.
“Constancy to an Ideal” is the phrase
that should express the soldier’s atti
tude to the principles of humanity for
which America stands.
Courage that comes from faith in the
cause of right is the kind of courage
that is needed just now.
No# is the time to prove to the world
that freedom and discipline, can’ bo
made like liberty and union, “one and
inseparable/*
the importance of the Is
sues at stake, and then, "Lot us set
ior ouwivvs a aianuant sir high that
it will be a glory to live up to It
And then let us live up to it and add
a new laurel to the crown of America."
Thoughts are things and may be
come deeds. May the deeds that ma
ture from the soldier’s thoughts he
the kind of deeds that will speedily
make the world sate for democracy.
By such constructive thoughts we will
succeed in giving to the world a con
ception of the soldier’s faith.

EXPECT TWO NEW
TEUTON DRIVES, IN
FRANCE, U-BOATS
With Austrian Rout in Italy,
the Germans Must Hasten
Blow in West. The Submarine
Offensive.
Washington.—Germany is about to un
dertake two new offensives—one a re
newal of her drive on the west line, the
second a further U-boat smash against
American shipping.
When <’hief of Staff March, U. S. A.,
and British Premier Lloyd George warn
ed ot the opening of a new teutonic
drive on the west front, they spoke "by
the card”. Aerial observations and in
telligence Information show concentra
tions that indicate a blow before long
Her ally routed in Italy, Germany may
hastfen the western blow lest allied re
inforcements be sent Into Italy to com
plete the disorganisation of the Aus
trians. Germany herself, it was learned
today cannnt get reinforcements to the
Austrians short of a week, and she can
spare them only a few.
By Entirely New Smash.
Just where the new teuton smash will
be attempted in France is not indicated
But It will doubtless be a development
of the major plan of reaching Parlr
or the Channel Ports rather than an en
tirely new smash.
As for the submarine offensive, sink
ing of an Inbound British-American
transport off Bermuda gives conclusive
proof that German operations are still
proceeding and that big game, instead
of coastal schooners Is now sought.
Warnings are out today along the whole
Atlantic seaboard and In the vicinity of
Bermuda to be on the watch for U-boats.
Incidentally when the United Press sta
ted Saturday that it was known posi
tively that German submarine dpcrations
were continuing jt is understoo some in
timations of the transport Incident had
arrived.
Broad Optimism.
As for the Land situation, officials hero
entertain a broader optimism now than
they have for months. Unstinted praise
is accorded the Italians, French and
British for their brilliant operations
against the Austrians there Is a
firmer outlook as tn the future than at
any time since March 21.
The next, few days will determine the
scope of Italy’s victory over the Aus
trians military critics say.
If the Italians are able to follow up
their present advantage. Inflict severe
losses on the foe and add to the existing
demoralisation they will make It almost
impossible for German reinforcements to
save the situation. The Italians have a
chance of making their victory decisive.
The only element of danger in (he
situation, as viewed by offlvers here is
that the Italians may expose their north
ern flank to attack if thev push very
far forward across the Piave.
Procedure if Insurance
Checks Fail to Arrive
The treasury department authorizes
the following:
Checks for the April allotments of
pay and government insurance for the
families of dependents of soldiers were
mailed out from Washington on Fri
day. May 24th. Failure to receive a
check due in all probability means that
there is some error in the payee's ad
dress, and the matter should be taken
up immediately with the War Risk In

Trenches Since June First.
With the American Armies in France
American troops are holding a moun
tainous section southeast of St. Die,
where the battle line crosses from
Lorraine into German territory, it is
now permissabie to announce.
Our men have been in the trencht?
here since the first of June but if
mention of their presence was allowed
until the Germans had made the dis
covery themselves. This occurred on
Sunday when an enemy raid on this
sector resulted in two Americans be
ing captured.
Another Boche raid near Baccarat,
between St. Die and Luneville, result
ed in the capture of other American
prisoners.
German artillery was quite active
north of Tool last night, probably in
retaliation for the shelling our gun
ners gave their rear areas a few hours
before.
An air battle occurred over Thiau
court (behind the German lines on the
Toul front) without losses by either
dide.
St. Die is 15 miles south of Badon
viller and is about seven miles from the
nearest point of the German frontier. It
Ik three miles behind the allied lines. ,
The battlefront crosses the border ap- I
pieximately ten miles south of St. Die
and a mile northwest of Diedolsliauser.
The nearest important German town Is
Marklrch, six miles northeast of the
American sector.
This sector is about 40 miles directly
north of the American p«'sitions east of
