the district patrolled by American de

task of distributing mines where they
will do most harm, he generally de
motes a few minutes to a prank of

Still another of ."Kelly's" more re

then to blow the safes themselves or
communicate the information to pro
iessionals.

Germany Has America to
Reckon With Says London Pos
London, Oct. 30. Commenting on
the advent of American soldiers in the
trenches, the Post says:
"Were the German successes in
Italy or in other theaters to becomt
much greater than the allies consider
probable, the Germans would still
have to reckon with the fresh, eager,
stern forces of America. It would
seem tlrat Germr.ny is putting forth
her utmost efforts during the interval
which must elapse before the weight
of the United States can be brought
to bear upon her weak and decimated
battalions.
"If we assume for the sake of argu
ment that Germany can conclude a
peace advantageous to herself before
the United States can intervene, it is
still to be remembered that America
is pledged to break the military power
of Germany and make no peace with
the Hohenzollerns."
