Show - "NO REST FOR THE WICKED" The Kaiser claimed that Germany was fighting a religious war. On the buckles of the soldier's acoutrements were stamped ' "Got mit uns." Now some of the military writers declare that heir strategy was in accordance with that idea. They never ' . fought in an advance more than six days continuously and relig iously rested on the seventh. General Foch does not seem ' to take to that idea' at all. He advances for five or six days, then instead of resting, keeps on advancing. He demonstrated that 'he German method of fighting six days and taking an irreligious rest on the seventh was not the last word in war, so we may confidently con-fidently assume that the other German idea of digging in for the winter does not strike him as an unbreakable law of nature. He seems to have adapted his strategy to the scriptural text, "There shall be no rest for the wicked." From Macedonia to the English channel he keeps on attacking, and the forward movement move-ment from the region of Saloniki is likely to be a very important one. If the allies get in between Turkey, Bulgaria and the Austrian Aus-trian forces it will come near ending the Austrian empire, for the Czechs, held in subjection there, will rally by the thousand to the support of the new republic that "has been recognized by all the allies.
