ATTILA OUTDONE.

The Crown Prince of Germany ror the moment out-Huns his sire. Tn« Kaiser, in the message to his people, felicitates them, in chastened moon, upon having escaped the horror of war in their own laud. The Crown Prince, explaining his gigantic failure on the Maine, bids his father's subjects rejoice in victory, for "another region o± France has been devastated." Attilla, the Kaiser's idol, put his method o: warfare into a phrase, "Grass never grows where my horse has once trodden." ' But grass and good fruits of tne earth will grow again where this young Attilla has trodden, says tli;--"Daily Chronicle." Already Frenck peasants are flocking hack to the villages whence they were driven. It is the Allies who are doing the driving now, pressing hard on all sides. And, as one saying of Attilla is dear to Kaiser and son, another aptly serves to describe the position from our point of view. "TEe closer hay is pressed," remarked the foremost of the Huns, "the easier it is cut." The fiercethrusting Allied troops will thank Attilla for that thought. /
