LIGHT MAXIM FAVORITE
America's New Browning Has
Great Destiny to Fulfil in
Defeating Foe
By EDWIN L. JAMES
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

With the American Army In France.
Sept. 0.
Infantrymen ns such have ceased to
exist In tho German nrmy. Thl
statement Is taken from nn official Al
lied leport. Tt means Hint the fighting
unit In the German nimy Is no longer
tho rifle, hut the machine gun. All
the German forces nro being organ
l7ed, not on the old basis of tho num
ber nf rifles to n force, but on the basis
of the number of machine guns. Rifles,
Instead of being the pilmary weapon,
have been relegated to Inferior Im
portance. The term German machine gun thus
used means a light gun which can be
curled by one man and wnlch Is oper
ated by two men. The type is the
Maxim. Tho Geimnns retnln heavy
machine guns in small units, ns we
do, but the new deelopment is to
turn the whole infantry force Into n
force of machine gunners. Not that
every two men have a Maxim, but one
Maxim Is given to every eight sol
diers. Six .11 e equipped with rifles
but for pui poses similar to those foi
which the ui tllleryman carries u re
volver.
The primary purpose of a group of
eight is to work a machine gun with
a rifleman to protect the gunners and
take their places if wounded or killed
The German command has decided to
fight the war with the machine gun
instead of the litle.
1 give the.su facts to lend weight tc
the opinion that the field of usefulness
on the western front for the American
light Urowning gun now being made
In America has vastly grown.
Not only is the Maxim a more efll
caclous weapon, but every one knows
that the Germans are using munj
moie light Maxims than we are usn
automatic ilfles. One thousand Ger-m-in
infantrymen would have under
the present German plan about 123
light Maxims. One thousand Ameii
cin infantrjmen have far less than
that number of automatic rifles In
operation in the front line. The
Maxim shoots more bullets than our
lutomatlc rifle. The record made in
tests of tlie Drowning light gun Indi
cates that It will give us a weapon
equal to the German light Maxim.
Well-filled graves scattered about the
tops of hills between the Marne and
the Vesle tell the story of how well
tho Germans used their machine-gun
warfare against the Americans.
Eight out of every ten of our men
killed in that sector wero victims of
machine guns which the Germans
planted along the roads, out of which

This Chest holds Evidence
that Dentists prefer
Colgate's
First Choice
Read this Story of
no idea that a manufacturer was behind this
inquiry to ascertain the real facts.
Now for the results: The evidence shows
that, not only is Colgate's the first choice of
more dentists than any other dentifrice, but
also that Colgate's is exclusively prescribed
by more dentists than any other.
The Evidence Chest is deposited with the
Title Guarantee & Trust Co. of New York
City, where its contents may be examined
by accredited committees on application to
Colgate ii Co.
This preference shown by dentist for
Colgate's is, undoubtedly, based on the fact
that the mouths of nine people ou. of ten
need a standard dentifrice.

COLGATE'S"
Allies Can Smash Foe
Defense, Says Maurice
Recent Victories Prove Germany's Firmest
Barriers Will Crumble Enemy Clinging
Now to Hope of Holding Shortened Line
By MAJOR GENERAL SIR FREDERICK R MAURICE
Former Director of Operations of the Nrltlsh Army.
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Chvirtuht, lll. In AVii) York rimrs Co
London, fecpt. 6.
Tt Is well to take a sober nnd con
servative view of tho effect of our
recent victories. "Winter Is not far
distant, nnd that Is always n time of
trial. There Is none of the excitement
stirring news from the front to keep
us going nnd tho long, dark nights In
our damp nnd foggy climate arc not
exhllarntlng. ' The pacifists who ask.
"Is it worth while? AVhv not end It?"
then. too. find more listeners than at
any other times, and it only helps the
enemy If hopes are raised too high
nnd the reaction sets in when they
nre not realized.
nqunlly. it helps the enemy It we
begin to look too far rastwnrd. He
Is always claiming that he has pre
vented us from gaining objectives at
which we never aimed, and he Is cer
tain to make use of nny unrealized
expectations of ours to buoy up the
sinking spirits of his people. Further,
It Is almost certain winter will bring
with it nn enemy peace offensive, ac
companied by attractive bribes, and
'he best way to prepare for that Is to
have a true appreciation of our posi
tion. The events of the last few weeks
Invo shown that the enemy cannot
'rect nny defensive barrier which we
cannot break through when we at
tack It In tho right way. They have
shown that, without any preponder
mce ot numbers, we can beat the
enemy in open warfare. They have
shown that the ninrtenburg-T.uden-dorff
combination has failed In the
latest Instance even more completely
than Its predecessor, and that the Ger
man commanders In n fair field are
verv ordinary mortals. They have
--lven us' a foretaste of the quality or
the American armies, nnd have shown
that our men and the French are fight
ing as splendidly ns cer they did.
Outlook for Future Tleaslns
We know that tn the future we must
have preponderating numbers. Vve
know that the internal condition of
Oermanv Is going from bad to worse,
and It requires little imagination to
plcturo the effect on her population
In tho fifth year of the war of this
drnmatic change from certain ex
pectation of complete victory to fore
bodings of complete defeat.
That Is a very satisfactory side of
the balance sheet. It means wo can
In good time dictate to Germany our
terms of peace; nnd, that being so, we
must be content with nothing less.
Germany will take any and every pos
sible measure to stave off such dis
aster. It Is quite possible that this winter
she may offer to return Alsace-Lorraine
to France and restore Belgium it
she be left free to exploit Russia.
This would mean that the Central
European block would In time becomo
IT is common sense to suppose that the denti
frice preferred by dentists generally will best
meet the needs of the public.
It's an easy matter for any tooth preparation to
claim that it has the favor of dentists everywhere.
It is not so easy to prove. To get the real facts,
Colgate 6c Co. decided to have a country-wide
and impartial inquiry made.

as powerful ns ever, and that Prus
sian culture and Prussian militarism
would again flourish.
In Flanders, the shortest line wlucn
the enemy can hold runs from his
present front east of Ypres nlong Wyt
schacte and Messlncs ridge, across
Hill (!3. west of Armcntleres. to
Neuve Chnpello and La Bassce. He Is
very nearly on this line now, nnd
It seems probable he will try to hold It.
though he may prefer to come out of
the low ground of the Lys Valley and
take his stand a little further east on
tho Aubers Ridge. This would mean
tho abandonment of 75 per cent of
the giound which he won In his April
offensive; but It would Bhorten his
front by some thirteen miles.
South of La Basseef It seems llkelv.
he may try to run his line through
Menln and Llstard to the east of Lens,
and thence to the Sensee Canal nt the
northern section of the Canal du Nord.
behind which he Is trying to rally his
forces defeated In tho battle for the
Drocourt switch. Tho switch, which
Is called the line of the Canal du
Nord, takes him down to Moeuvres,
near which place It Joins the old Hln
ilenburg line. This runs from Just
east of Moeuvres west of St. Quentln
to La Fere, and thence to southwest
of Lnon, whence It can bo made to
connect with the Chemin-des-Dames,
nnd south toward Rhelms.
Hy breaklnt, through the Drocourt
switch, we Inflicted a severe defeat
on the enemy and caused lilm very
heavy losses which he ran III spare;
but we have not yet turned the main
north nnd south section of the Hln
denburg line, which begins cast of
Moeuvres, nnd shall not have done this
effectively until we have got across
the Senseo Canal nnd taken Doual,
and gotten back to tho Hlndenburg
lines In front of Cambral and St. Quen
tln, nnd further south to the Chcmln-des-Damcs.
Whether he will succeed In carry
ing his plans through, remains to be
seen, but Foch has kept the initiative
ever since July 18, when he launched
his counter-attack. We may be cer
tain It will "it be his fault If ho does
not keep It. If tho enemy shortens
his ftont, we a'so shorten ours; and
there are still several Allied armies
which have net et nad their say.
Wo may therefore reasonably expect
more, nnd leave It to Foch to settle
what more theie Is to be. '
Seeing that less than three months
ago there seemed to be prospects of
our passing the winter with the enemy
guns within range of Paris and our
army cooped up against the coast, we
may be well satisfied with the situa
tion ns It Is, even if it does not get
better, as It almost certainly will.
Marks Tumble as Allies Clin
Copenlmiren, Sept. 6. The present sit

And Ribbon Dental Cream is a standard
trulycalled "a dentists' dentifrice " It cleans
thoroughly, washing-the teeth without harm
ful grit, or the powerful drugs found in some
tooth preparations. These risky chemicals
may clean, but think of their action on the
tender membranes of the mouth!
A safe, sane dentifrice for the use of tfie
whole family is Colgate's a-normal denti
frice for normal mouths. Dentists, knowing
these facts, use Colgate's Ribbon Dental
Cream in their own families instead of the
strongly drugged tooth pastes, which are
not suited for everyday use.

Fourth Anniversary of Battle
of Marne Finds Allies in
Dclter Situation
By G. H. PERMS
' Cable to Evening Public Ledger
CopvrioM, 101, ov -Vew York .Timet Co.
Willi Iho French Armies, Sept. 6.
Yesterday was tho fourth anniver
sary of tho battle of the Marne and
of Joffre's memorable summons: "At
the moment when the battle Is on a
line on which depends the salvation
of the country, everybody must bo. re
minded that tho time has gone for
looking backward. Troops who can
no longer advnnce must at any cost
hold the ground won nnd be slain
rather than give way. In the present
circumstances no failure can bo toler
nted."
The recollection of this famous vic
tory nt tho moment when the Allies
are again driving back the same
enemy suggests thoughts, some of an
encouraging and some of a sobering
kind. The Central Powers, long pre
pared and greatly profiting by the
Bolshevik pestilence, have been worn
down, while the grand alllnnce Is far
from reaching Its full strength. But
the end Is not yet.
Germany Is still strong rtcsnlte her
defeats. Of her total of 245 divisions
she has about 200 In the west. They
are all much weakened. The reserve
has fallen some flftv divisions since
the beginning of tho March offensive

Consider present conditions so that yon will appreciate this
event to its fullest extent. Despite the fact that fur skins are
selling at highest prices in the history of the trade, labor and
everything else in the manufacture of furs substantially increased,
we offer every fur coat, coatee, set or muff at 20 per cent discount
from present marked price. Our regular prices are fully 25 per
cent lower than present market values, for we purchased our
skins early in the year and manufactured them when labor was at
its lowest cost.

has now been devoured.
A, conservative estimate shows that
tho German losses since March 21
must total about 1,200,000 men, of
whom, however, 60 -per cent would be
capable of recuperating after an In
terval of from three to six months,
leaving tho permanent loss at about
500,000 men. The toll on the Allied
side has been nothing llko so great.
The crisis of tho enemy for effec
tives Is certainly acute, Tho 1919
class Is wholly engaged and has
proved to be of Inferior quality, doubt
less 'because of the deprivation amid
which It has grown up.
Tho 1920 class can hardly be bet
ter. The German Government has
postponed Its engagement as long as
possible, drafting Instead every man
It can find capable of carrying a rifle.
It has also cut down the battalion
and company strength nnd Is known
to havo dissolved at least forty regi
ments. The Americans nro now sending re
enforcements every month equal to
half a year's German recruits.
These nro grounds of confidence,
provided that the Allied effort is sus
tained to the end. They provide no
excuse for the view that the war Is
tvoh or will run Itself to a victorious
conclusion. The German divisions still
In rcservo with the 1920 class In tho
field depots constitute a force not to
be despised. The German staff has
scraped and saved In order to keep a
mass of maneuver Intact.
The enemy retreat In the last seven
weeks has been for the most part com
pelled, but thero has been In It also
an clement of choice. It procured a
material shortening of the front on
which It .holds off the Allies. As long
ns the Allies can maintain unrelenting
pressure they can keep the initiative,
but If they let go Ludendorft will have
a chance.
