WASHINGTON. Oct 30. The dis
tribution among German troops by their
officers of a tract attacking President
Wilson on the ground that it was his
will to kill, which was responsible for
the continuation of the war, has hither
to been reported. The text of the leaf
let has just been received. Tt says in
part :
"It is now accordingly absolutely evi
dent that the determination to kill
emanated from the White House at
Washington and is concentrated in the
person of President Wilson.
"It goes without saying that the doc
tor of philosophy, president, Democrat
and humanitarian. Wood row Wilson,
will be able to invent the best of reas
ons to justify a continuation of the war.
"What difference then is there be
tween Wilson, who came out of a Phil
adelphia university (sic) and any sort
of a criminal like Caesar? The first
defends the continuation of the Ameri
can senate. The second justifies each of
his crimes before the Roman senate.
The president and Caesar have re
course to the same rhetorical devices to
detend the degeneracy ot their states.
"What balm can the niceties of the
president's oratory bring to the sacri
fices of war? If we speak of President
Wilson only, it is not to pardon other
imperial schemes. But in the presence
of the cruel truth that for nearly five
years human blood has flowed without
cessation, it is natural that we point out
to human justice the man who may be
reproached by humanity with the pro
longing of this horrible butchery."

WITH THE SICK
LITTLE RAILWAYS
SPEED UP BATTLES
By Frank J. Taylor, United Press
staff correspondent. j
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Oct. 5, by mail. The
American railway engineers played an
important role in the battle for St. Mi
hiel sector. They didn't get out and
take Germans, but they made it possible
for others to do so.
All up and down the American front
there is a network of narrow-gauged
railways, running to every point along
the front, and connecting the fighters
with their bases in the rear.
The Americans have developed rail
way building along the front to a high
degree of -efficiency. They can lay a
track through a wood or across a field
in almost no time, and soon little en
gines specially built for the front are
chugging along dragging strings of cars
loaded with shells, food and other
things the doughboys need.
The little trains look like toys, they
are so small, but they do the work of
full grown railway outfits. The3- carry
enormous loads and wind along through
fields, woods, roads and villages with
great speed. There isn't any block
system to keep trains from meeting
along the way, but someway the genius
these American railway engineers
Victor Emanuel is at the front. The
Austrians are desperately attempting to
shell Piave bridges.
