played a prominent part in the scout
work in the river.
Germany has already paid a ter-
rible toll between Soissons and Cha-
teau Thierry. The advancing Allied
forces have passed great piles of
dead and many wounded. These suf-
ferers are cared for expeditiously and
well and the Allied forces are dis-
playing a fine spirit .of co-operation.
Among the prisoners captured
were a German colonel and his staff.
They had taken refuge in a quarry
and refused to obey a summons to
cotne out. After efforts to induce
them to surrender appeared to be
wasted, hand grenades were dropped
down a, chimney' leading into ` the
quarry. Those' unhurt, including the
colonel, quickly emerged.
In the long lines of prisoners
along the roads there are many ex-
pressing bewilderment. But here and
there some of them smile when they
happily respond to the query, "Going
to Paris?"
Both French and American officers
are more than pleased with the suc-
cesses already attained. Full credit
is given the plan of Gen. Foch, which
already has netted magnificent re-
sults 9.nd which 'promises to convert
the ambitious plans of the Germans
into a fiasco.
The number of, prisoners taken is
being increased and frons. these men
it is ascertained that the demoraliz-
ation of the German army is greater
than was suspected:: Those taken by
one American unit alone represent
seven divisions. One lot of 56 cap-
tives contained men belonging to five
different divisions. This fact and the
stories of the prisoners indicate that
the Germans have lost much in
organization.
School Children Shot.
ZURICH, Switzerland, July 22,—
Details of the brutal murder of five
school children and the wounding of
six others at Pylsen, n on June 21
have only a e o ly now .become known
through an interpretation its the
Reichsrat. It appears that- a crowd
of women and children watching
the loading of the bread waggon for
the Skoda Works began to cry, "We
are starving! We also want breadt"
Suddenly an infantry patrol ap-
peared and without giving an order
to the crowd to disperse, or a single
word of warning, fired a volley from
behind into the crowd, killing five
children between the ages of, 10 and
13 and severely wounding four rnsn
and two Women. One Phan died,

NOW < that the war has got,
down to a test of endurance
between the allies atnd the
Central Powers, the ele-
ments of preliminary organization,
surprise and brilliant military leader. -
ship having taken second place, it is
interesting to regard the matter from
the angle of sport, :as is done by a
writer in the New York Sun, and
consider, by the records, which side
has the greater staying quality. It is
all the more interesting because the
result is eetremely favorable to us.
The records fail to show that the
German is a "sticker," that he is of
the sort that keeps on frying and
fighting long after all hope of suc-
cess seems gone. On the contrary,
they show that representatives of the
allied powers in time of peace have
been chiefly ` distinguished for bull-
dog grit and endurance. Englishmen,
Americans, Canadians, South Afri-
cans, Frenchmen and Italians have
all demonstrated their possession of
endurance when pitted against each
other and the world in athletic con-
tests that demand endurance. Ger-.
mans have never shown. that they
possessed this quality, If, they have
not shown it the,natural presumption
is that they have not got it, and not
havinghad
it t in peace, how are they
to be expected to have it in time of
war? ,
Several 'years' ago Germany sent
Herr Carl Diem to the United States
to snake a study of tete American
athletic system with ,a view of intro-
ducing it he Germany, and the Sun
writer says that one evening in the
course of a discussion among various.
athletic authorities an ':American'.
made the remark that the Germans
did not appear by nature well quali-
fied to excel in athletic contests.
Diens contradicted him, and said that
all that German athletes lacked were
the tricks that had made Americans
eminent. He said that it was skill
and knowledge of the game that
made American athletes successful,
but that the Germans, had just as
much endurance and would as read-
ily subject est theme e

punishmentas any race on earth.
.
Thereupon. Pon the American applied lie the'
-
test of long-distance running, in
which skill
and style and technique
play a minor part, a test in which
gameness decides the struggle. Look-
ing over Marathon racers, he failed
to find that Germany had made any
contribution to the list.
If anyone ne ou
bts on whose sidei

and endurance let him consider the

Yhad the same
chance to make good in that race as
did the United -States, Great Britain
and France. What happened? Of the
first twenty men to finish eighteen
were of countries now joined togeth-
er as the allies. Ten Americans,
seven men from the British Empire,
a Frenchman and a Swiss crossed the
line before the first representative of
the Teuton empires put in appear-
ance. The following finish offers food
for thought:

The first of modern Marathons was
won by Sherring, a Canadian. The
greatest of modern long-distance
runners was Longboat, a Canadian
Indian. The greatest of middle-dis-
tance runners was Alfred Shrubb, an
Englishman, and in middle-distance
running grit and endurance are more
important than style or knowledge
of the gamy: Hayes, the American
who won the London Marathon of
1908, beat many a better runner than
himself in perhaps the most trying
conditions that ever prevailed in a
Iong-distance race. It was one of the
hottest, stickiest days that `°London
has known, and it was only down-
right gritthat pulled Hayes through.,
As a matter of record the race was
really won by Dorando, an Italian,
but he was disqualified. • tater on
Dorando came to this continent and
was defeated by the Canadian Indian.
In the same year Jim Crowley, an
American hod -carrier, won the Bos-
ton Marathon. He was a big, ungain-
ly fellow, and won on his courage
and his iron endurance, Sidney
Hatch, another noted long-distance
runner, has no style whatever, and
the country is full of men who could
beat him in any race where endure
ance did not tell the tale an,d singu-
larly empty of men who can stay with
him over the fon route.
Considering the great German
born population of the United States,
it is remarkable that compai atively
few German -Americans should at-
tained eminence in sports that make
their chief demands upon the heart
of tttoee who engage in thein. Tbere
are noted ball players of German ex-
traction, but there are few Germans
in the roster of fighting mere: Irish,
English, Italians, Jews and Danes are
to be found among theimmortals of
the squared circle. One recalls even
a Mexican and a couple df eminent
Poles. There have been line German
tennis players 'and billiard experts,
bet at a race they stand far down
in the scale in contests that demand
stamina and grit,
