ANTICIPATES NEW
RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE
(By International News Service,

(By International News Service,
LONDON, May 31-Germany is now
rushing troops to the eastern front
anticipating a renewed offensive by
Russia and Roumania. Austria is in
serious plight, following fresh Ital-
ian successes, and is begging Ger
many to send help. The Italians have
gained much ground in their battle
for possession of Duino, the key to
Trieste. In the West the British have
made numerous successful trench
raids and have repelled all counter
attacks. The suggestion is made that
American troops would be of more
service just now on the Eastern than
on the Western front.
British casualties on the Arras front
during the month of May we're 112,-

Y. M. c. A. WORK.

South Dakota leads in Groupe +
states in the fund campaign for Army
y. NJ. c. A. work, having raised by
last weeks figures $16, 800. The 9TH
er states in this group are North
Dakota. Utah, Oklahoma, Arizona.
Louisiana, Montana, Maine and New
Hampshire. The various counties in
this state are setting their marks at
one to Ave thousand dollars. The
cities have already completed their
funds with mount ranging from one
TO four thousand dollars.
General Pershing puts a high esti-
mate upon the y. NJ. G.. A. army
work. This fact is deduced from his
recent cable asking for 500 additional
secretaries for France Immediately
and a million dollars with which to
strengthen the work overseas. Ac-
cording to Francis b. Sayre, son-in-
law of President Wilson, the great
est wreckage of the war is regarded
now to be the loss Of men through
diseases resulting from vice in camp
during short periods of leave. He
recently said that "in the Canadian
army at the front today more men
are disabled from service by disease
resulting from immoral living than
by the shot and shell of the army"
Apparently nothing is making any
progress in solving these terrible
open sores Of army life save the
Army y. NJ. G. a. Right in the heart
of these districts the association has
spent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars setting up spacious headquarters
where men may get "A clean place to
spend the night at small cost and
where by day they may spend their
DAYS of rest while on leave" in a
decent clean manner-rather than be
lost in the vice that surrounds them
on every hand.
