TEUTON NATION UNITED
Inttrcstlnff Talcs of War Kclnlcd by

"Germany must be beaten, for thrn

and. obsessed with the spirit of world

and to smash such a nation will take i

concerning the time tequlred to ,bet

the belief that It probably will take two
r three years, and If the Job Is tn he
accomplished In that time America niut
throw every pound of man-power and
resources Into the scales. The folks
back home must buy Liberty Donds and
contlnuo to buy them for resolutions con
signing the Kaiser to a place In Hades
wltt not win the war. Men and money
will."
This terse comment on the war, char
acteristic of a soldier, was made today
by Major E. C. rtobcrts, Jr., ot.tho .110th
Field Artillery.
The major was not Indulging In Idle
conversation or making any prelcnso of
being one of the fellows on the "Inside.''
.For nineteen months he fought the
boche on the western front and has a
whilesome respect for tils fighting
ability. At tho outbreak of the war lie
felt that It was America's fight, but In
stead of Joining the American war party
and making speeches ho went to Canada
nnd became a lieutenant In the Twelfth
Hattery. First Contingent. Canadian
Field Artillery. In May, 1D15, he landed
In Franco and remained there for, nlne-
teen months, participating In the second
Ypres campaign, Hie Pomnin and a scorr
of other battles. While enjoying a short
lea've of abseneo America entered thr
war, and anxious to fight under his own
flaflr. bo obtained a discharge from the
Canadian army, fie entered the Nlagxra
training camp and won a mnjor's stripes.
That la a thumb nail sketch of Major
lloberts, who Is called "Fighting Hob,"
by the boys In tho snappy 310th Field
Artillery. Ills war record would nil
pages, for lloberts has been there and
appreciates the meaning of war.

In the fighting that followed that cam
paign was virtually wiped out.
But back he Is going, for he feels that
U Js his personal fight'. "We must view
the war against the German monster as
our personal affair," he says. "ICvrry
man cannot play a rolo on the battle
field, but he can do something and the
. jnost Important' of all Is the purchase of
Liberty Bonds. Any man who falls to
buy a bond Is a slacker and the rich
man who shirks the opportunity to back
up tho fighting men is worse than a
slacker. Ho is really a criminal."
How the Germans have deluded them
selves Into the belief that they have the
world at their feet Is Illustrated by Mn
Jor Itoberta In his comment on Teuton
prisoners. "When we took them pris
oners," he said, 'they wanted to know
Jf wo we're golpg to shoot; them. I re
member one batch. In particular, and
they were well fed and' clothed, too. Not
a. jnan appeared as though Germany was
on tho verge of collapse. We told them
that we would send them to an Intern
ment camp In England.
" 'But you can't do that." said one ot
tbem. 'Germany controls tne seas, sue
sunk the British fleet In the Jutland
baf,.,C r ure'irtnV'rjernn
net.' When wo assured tne ucrman
that the Knglish ficei was ttlll afloat
and that the internment camp was near ,
r.ondon. ho smiled and reminded us that ,
- . . . .. . ... .... ,...n.
Tjimlnn had been destroed by .eppelln:
"When we consider how the German
roldlrrs have been fed up on this kind
of victory talk. It is easy to understand
why they are so determined to continue
the struggle." '
For seven months Major Roberts has
been a nlember of Unrle Sam's National
Army, and without any reservation he
styles that organisation as the best
fighting force In the world. "In dis
cipline and Intelligence It Is second to
hone." he said, "and will glvo the. boche
KTl that he Is looking for. And best
of all, the army has a real spirit the
spirit that puts over victories. Do the
men fear death? No man wants to
die. but a soldier and particularly after
ie gets Into the war zone becomes a
fatalist. This Is natural, because ho is
continually In the presence or death.

Touching on this phase In a soldier's
life Major Boneris sam. : sueu vrmzzes

moment before. Then you set the Idea
that If you are colng to be killed, you !
will be killed and that if ou arc not.
why no derman shell will strike ou
That's how you become a fatalist "
Major Hoberts detailed many Incidents
or the war and several were humorous .
One in particular dealt with the British
Tommies and their Inability to stay the
Cerman rush because of the blp gun
shortage. "The Tommies." said the of- !
fleer, "threatened by blackboard signs
nt on point to turn loose their one and
only gun on the Germans who were shell
ing them very nastily The Germans
begged pardon and quit firing. On the
British side was a unit of Canadian
mounted Infantry that had lost Us
horses. The Canadians wer naturally
jrrouchy over their loss and the Ger-
mane learned of It So the boche made
Kay horses and traced them very tan
l tallxlngly along the top of the trenches.

kn'-Cariadlans. When a toy horse was

jj would lie a dirty rag on the part hit
and hoist It back on the trench. The

South ofthe Sommc, in the neich-
horhood'of Hangard-cn-Santerre, po-
sitlons into which the enemy had
forced his way were regained by a
Franco-British counter-attack.
North of the Sommc enemy artil
lery thundered throughout last night.
. The oflicial report issued by the
War Office says:
Heavy fighting developed last

Wo advanced our line slightly
in the neighborhood of Festuhcrl
and secured prisoners.
A strong hostile attack cnrl
last night, which was preceded by
.t heavy bombardment, was
launched ngainsl our positions
east of I.ocon. The enemy suc
ceeded in entering our lines at cer
tain points, hut was ejected b a
counter-attack. A second attack
later in the night in the same In-
I cality was successfully beaten off.
Tho enemy attacked west of
Mcrvillc early last night, but was
repulsed.
The situation is unchanged on
the remainder of the northern
front.
There was sharp local fighting
south of the Sommc. Positions
into which the enemy had entered
in the neighborhood of ll.mgard
were regained by Franco-Iiritish
counter-attacks.
The artillery of the enemy was
more active north of tho Sommc.
Retirement Probably Tended
Apparently the Iiritish strategic
retirement in Picardy is ended.
British armies stand stalwarlly in I
face of an urgent driving foe in 1
Prance and Handera. After nearly
a month of a protracted and gory
battle which lias eclipsed anything
that has raged during the entire four
years of warfare, Field Marshal Haig
has issued a ringing command to his
men to hold their ground at what
ovor cost and fight with the knowl.
edge that their blows aro struck
"For tho safety of their homes and
the freedom of mankind."
The entl of the first phase of the
titanic fight may now be deemed as
passed.
