AMERICANSTATEGISTS'
GLUE EYES ON DRIVE
Officers Hopeful Franco-British
Smash May Turn German Flank.

The eyes of the Army War College.
the General Staff and every officer In
Washington are glued on the allied
drive on the Western front. The other
Is encroachihg upon that part OF the
German line where victory must be
won-the right flank.
Officers eagerly scan every incoming
report Of the battle. They look for
one thing--the width of the drive. Its
depth is to them not half as important
as the width. OF all the assaults on
the German trenches, described as
brilliant or valuable by British official
sources. none, SO far. has been wide
enough to mean anything. None has
meant more than chisel point thrust
into the German resistance.
To constitute more than a nibble at
the German line the allied thrust must
be at least twenty miles wide. Any
salient narrower than that means a
fianklng fire from the German guns on
each side of the wedge.
II the wedge Is more THAN twenty
miles wide, however. German fire from
the flank is reduced to even terms
and the allied chances of extending the
thrust are that much bettered.
The men tied to their desks here are
eagerly awaiting the news that the
thrust has been extended to the sea
coast That will mean that the Ger
man right flank is being rolled up.

Third D. c. REGIMENT
Will CAMP IN south
To Be Brigaded with Two South
Carolina Units at Greenville.

The Third Regiment of the District
National Guard now stationed at
Fort Myer will be sent to Camp
Sewer, Greenville, S. c., according to
an announcement made yesterday by
Gen. Mann, of the Militia Bureau. The
Third Regiment will be brigaded with
two South Carolina regiments. and 1t
is altogether likely that the brigade
so formed will be commanded by Gen.
William E. Harvey, commander Of the
District Guard.
Army officers in charge of the con-
struction work at Camp Sewer report
steady progress in the building Of the
barracks and mess halls. Nearly
1.C0o laborers are at work on the
camp. Buildings for one regiment, 1t
is stated. are already practically COM
pleted, while those for a second regi-
ment are two-thirds completed. Work
has been started on a mess hall for
third regiment. A temporary rail-
road siding Is half completed from
Greenville to the camp. Trenches for
large water mains to connect up with
the city water supply have been dug
and the piping will be laid within
the next few days. The water supply
will be pumped through six-inch
mains to the two 1000. .O0o-gall tank
reservoirs.
The First Separate Battalion has
not been assigned to a training camp
as yet, and 1t is likely that its men,
bers will remain on guard duty here
for some time.

FTREMEN Elect new
GROUP OF OFFICERS
Two-Platoon System Discussed by
Association at Meeting.

The election and installation of
officers Of the Firemen's Associa-
tion of the District took place at
their meeting at 1103 E street
northwest, after which a discus
sion of the campaign for the two
platoon system in the District was
held.
The following officers were elect
ed: r. E. Oden. president; Edward
Conners, vice-president; w. d. Sui
livan, treasurer; F. j. Nesline,
financial secretary; W. A. Smith.
recording secretary; F. P. Deming,
]. ]. Gates. and z. H. Carter. trus-
tees.
The delegates elected to repre-
sent the firemen in the Central La
Dor Union, were: r. e. Oden. Ed
ward Coners. G. Nusbaum, ]. d.
Sullivan. and c. c. Wolz.
1t was pointed out in the dis
cussion OF the two-platoon system
that there was an inconsistent at
titude evidenced on the part of
the government, which was uphold
ing an eight-hour day for men, but
compelling its own workers to stay
at their posts "a hours a day. with
holiday only once in five days,
and in the meantime. a four-day
separation of the fireman from his
wife and family.
In answer to the statement that
the firelnen had nothing to occupy
them during the time they were
not fighting fires, it was declared
that the flremen, when not fight
ing fires were making their quar-
ters habitable. cleaning the brass
work, the windows. and doing va
rious other little duties.

PLAN To REGISTER
AUTOS FOR DISTRICT
Assessor Will Also Base Tax on
New Law.

Plans are now being considered for
the registration of the auto owners
OF the District by the office of the
assessor of taxes in the District
Building, the day of registering being
January 1, 1918, as determined by a
law recently enacted by Congress.
Up to this time, the license which
was first procured by the auto ow-
ner was good from the time
he came into possession of the auto
until 1t left his hands. Under the
new law, however, license must be
taken out each year, the cost of the
license being based on the horse
power OF the auto.
The list of the new license takers
will be available to the government
for Communicating purposes, in case
the government should need the ma
chimes in an emergency.
The force of clerks at present en-
ployed by the Office of the assessor
would be inadequate for the handling
of so large a crowd as would drift
in on the day of registration. It is
planned to augment the force with
new clerks near the end of Decem-
Der.
