They filled our unsuspecting commu-

When they found they could not do
that, their agents diligently spread Sc

bur own citizens from their allegi-

men connected with the official en-
bassy of the German government it

east of NessineS was announced by
Field Marshal Haig today.
Our further advance to the east OF
Messines, combined with our pressure
to the south, compelled the enemy to
abandon important sections of their
first line between the Lys and ST.

chief asserted.

France Needs Help.
''France-proud, brave, bleeding
from CHASTITY wounds needs us sorely.
tuberculosis is raging turnout her
land. Fifteen hundred of her towns
and villages have been RACED to the
ground by the calculated barbarity
of the invaders. Millions of her peo-
pie are homeless and starving. beref-
even of the barest covering for their
bodies of stoves, of utensils with
which to cook or eat, of agricultural
implements, of animals-indeed of the
simplest clements OF civilization. And
to US alone can these people come for
help; we alone have the abundance
with which to supply their direst
needs.
ITO Russia, too, we must reach out
our helping hand. We little know
what she has suffered and is suffer
ing. Russia, long obedient to auto
crazy has not flinched in this con-
f1ict. Her people have had to strug =
gle not only to free the world from
autocracy but to make their own land
a land of liberty. Russia needs all we
can do to strengthen her courage and
to make her feel that we ere indeed
behand her. Our armies can do little
for her. Our Red Cross alone car
take into Russia the message of hope,
of help, of confidence which she SO
terribly needs. The message must be
practical. 1t must carry deeds and
not merely words; and it should be
carried at once. Probably never be-
fore were so many people in distress
and agony as in Russia at this very
hour We can take no more vital steJ
toward winning this war than to put
renewed heart and strength into Rus
sia.''
