KEEP THEIR JAWS WORKING.

War makes busy tobacco and chewing
gum business, anyway, according to a
statement yesterday by Thomas c. Shot
well, New York representative Of the
United Cigar Stores Company. who is
stopping at the New Willard Hotel
American consumption or tobacco and
chewing gum has greatly increased since
the war began" said Mr.. Shotwell.
Everybody has taken on a case Of
nerves over the big scrap. Men become
so excited over war bulletins they just
keep putting or chewing. The tobacco
business has increased about 10 per cent.
There has been a particularly large in
crease in the sale of cheap cigars. For
eigners who have been unable to answer
the call to their coiors keep giooming
around the bulletin boards with a stogie
as their sole source OF comfort.
Women have to take theirs out on
something else. and II has fallen to the
lot Of tutti frutti' to take the edge on
their nerves. Agents of chewing gum

GERMAN OFFENSE TO BE
DIRECTED AT RUSSIANS
Expert Says Aisne Armies Probably
Will Await Outcome of Battle in
East Before Advancing.
By e. ASHMEAD BARTLETT,

War Expert of the London Daily Telegraph and
The Washington Herald.
London, Sept. 19.-Even with the re-
serve formations which Germany may
be able to raise, il will be a tremendous
strain to take the offensive in both the
east and west at once. The chances
are that the German staff will endeavor
to continue the operations now in pro-
gress on the Aisne until after the great
collision with the main Russian armies
The general attitude of the Germans
on the Aisne is distinctly defensive and
the local counterattacks are being de-
livered against the allies are mot evil
dence of an offensive but the reverse.
On the western frontiers Germany is
very strong. Reichsland has been strong
ly fortified and all the way back to
the Rhine are good positions which can
be prepared for defense in advance. In
the rear is the great barrier, the Rhine,
with its remarkable fortresses All this
frontier is very suitable defense, which
must be overcome before the allies can
penetrate the vitals of the German en-
pire.
The GERMANS are bound to send every
man they/can spare to SIIesia to meet the
great armies which soon will move for
ward from Russian Poland toward Ber-
lin.
