The Kaiser s .rmy Has Been on the Run for Three Weeks,
with the Loss cf Thousands of Prisoners
nd Larse Number of Guns.
NOW EXPECTED TO RESIST MORE STUBBORNLY.
The German offensive which had been crowding back the ar
mies of the Allies since early spring was turned on the 18th of
July, and since that time the" Huns have been showing their heels
in great shape. Generals Foch and Pershing waited until they
Ht reasonably sure that there were enough American troops in
France for the attempt, and they turned the tables. Steadily the
Germans have been driven back, although resisting most stubornly,
until now about all the territory won by them since the beginning
of 1917 has been regained.
During the campaign of the last three weeks, it is estimated
that the Allies have taken more than 73.000 prisoners, and more
than 10,000 machine guns have been captured from the enemy.
While the loss in killed, wounded and missing to the American
army ha run five or six-hundred a day since the beginning of the
present offensive, the casualties of the Germans have been appall
ing. That our own Fulton County boys are right in the thickest of
the fray is evidenced by the death of, at least, one-John Bishop
'and our neighboring counties are almost daily receiving official no
tice of the loss of their boys. -
Somerset County has been an especially heavy loser-one com
pany, it is reported, was almost entirely wiped out.
American troops are being sent to France at the rate of a hun
dred thousand a week, and it is only a question of time when the
final crushing blow will be given. .It ia scarcely reasonable to ex
pect that 1918 will see the close of the struggle, and we must pre
pare ourselves for greater sacrifices.
Our being in the war is not through any choice of our own; but
now that we are in, it is up to us to show America's greatness.
Tuesday's loss to United States soldiers was 403, of which 57
were killed in action, 29 died of wounds, 2 died cf disease, 4 died
of accident, 301 were wounded, and 7 are missing. Of this num
ber 41 were Pennsylvanians.
