GENERAL 0FFENSE
EXPECTING PEACE
Sweep Russians from Galicia
and French From Alsace
Is War Office Plan
PARIS NOT alarmed
over ARMY'S POSITION
By WILLIAM PHILIP sMMs


PARIS. July THE Germans are
planning a mighty stroke in Alsace,
according to reliable reports that
reached the war Office today. The
withdrawal of rolling stock from the
German railways leading into
Switzerland is preliminary to new
German offensive. The Teutons will
attempt to sweep the French back
out of Alsace upon their own frontier.
Small bodies of German reinforce
ments already have arrived in the
valley of the Fccht Presumably they
came from other sectors of the
Franco-F Flanders battle line. but the
war Office has reason to believe that
German troops from the Galician bait
tie fields will be In action in the
Vosges within a short time.
The German war program, accord
ing 10 reports brought here today,
now calls for these steps:
First-Completion of the drive to
sweep the Russians entirely out OF
Galicia.
second-Isolation of the Russian
forces in Poland and probable new
offensive against Warsaw.
lhird-An offensive TO free GcrmaA
soil completely of the enemy by driving
the French out of Alsace.
Fourth-peace overtufes.
Adviccs from several sources agree
that Germany is firing OF the war anC

France, even at tremendous cost in

On the other hand Germany believes
that she can clear Calicia of the Rus
slams within fortnight, hurl the freuci
out of Alsace. and then suggest peac
with her enemies everywhere teyond ae
frontiers.
French military men. however. de

If some- thing very summer like is wanted. for the August vacation for instance, it would be pretty to use a lowered voile with organdie or, lowered crepe with organdie and to make the frills either of the organdie or of narrow lace. For such pur- poses, 1t would be we'll to cover the but tons with the flow- cred material, making sure that a bit of the color ap- pears in each, for buttons of such sort are one of the newest fancies and are al- ways pretty and at- tractive. For the silk gown, the frills can be either of the l material or of ribbon and grosgrain ribbon is one of the latest fancies. Contrasting sleeves are much
 used. These can be made to match the trimming, i'll place of the gown, to give an entirely different effect; or. if a plain, simple gown is wanted, one material can be used through out and the panel effect dispensed with. To bring about this change, it would be necessary only to cut the fronts of the blouse and of the skirt in one piece each In place of in two with the edges joined and to omit the trim ming.
