FRENCH VIEW OF 1T
Jules Cambon Says Russian oaen-
sive Disturbs Germans.

sive Disturbs Germans.
Paris, July 12.-"Without assum-
ing that Saturdays declarations by
leaders in the Reichstag committee
can in any way be interpreted as pre-
cursor of a possible revolution, 1t
cannot, be denied that there is
change in the public spirit in Ger
many and it is certain that the un-
easiness revealed by these debates
would have been impossible year
ago." said Jules Cambon, general
secretary to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, yesterday.
cat that time" he continued, "the
faith of the entire people in the ON
impotence of PTussian militarlsm was
intact and blind confidence in the
invincibility of German arms was
absolute. 1t is the resumption OF
the Russian offensive that is provoE-
ing a definite collapse of the hopes
the whole nation had placed in sep
arate peace. The submarine war
fare. despite the damage it has
caused US, also represents an I'M
doubted check as the months pass
and this form of piracy is shown
more to be powercss to effect
blockade of the Allies; and how
can the Germans fail to feel defeat
coming when from the other side OF
the ocean the American menace rap
idly grows formidable?
"Howcver, on this matter it would
be better for us not to indulge IN ex-
acrerations. We sometimes are prone
to overestimate the resources, great
though they are in men and material
that the United States can put at
the disposal of the Entente, just as
VIC sometimes underestimate the nc
ccssity for the arrival of this valued
aid.
Excessive dreams would be dan
cerous as preparing the way'l'r dts
illusions. and this would be criminal,
for America is lending us powerful
aid, without limit. thanks to which It
has become impossible for us not to
triumph. The simple truth IS so fine
that it * unnecessary to add any
thing TO it.

STOPS MANY EXEMPTIONS.
Minimum Height and Weight for
Recruits Reduced.

Small men make as good soldiers
as big men, in the revised opinion of
the War Department, which has in
structed recruiting stations to open
the ranks of the regular Army to
men no more than five feet one inch
in height and who weigh only 10
pounds.
The order was issued on the basis
of recommendation made by Sur
gcon General Gorgas. who advised
THAI good men were being kept out
by the minimum height and weight
limit of five feet four inches and 100
pounds. AS matter of fact, how
ever, recruiting officers had been
instructed not to enforce rigidly the
height and weight minimum limits,
and there are considerable number
nov in the Army who arc below the
five feet four requirement.
The new orders will have a wide
effect in National Guard recruiting
and probably in selections for the
national army. Regular Army
standards govern both of these ser
vices in a general way.
The regular Army still was short
some 10000 men when recruiting
closed Tuesday, only / ,226 men having
been accepted during the day. Yer

made plans to send packages to their
men.
The. Delta Red Cross branch will
take care of the Delta boys and are
collecting funds for this purpose. They
wish to send a parcel to each man
from this community, whether he is
soldier or sailor. The time is short
in which to accomplish the work, as
the money must all be in the presents
purchased and packed within the next
two weeks.
The packages will contain such gifts
as can be shipped in parcels of the
size prescribed by the Red Cross head
quarters and may include fountain
pens. electric torches. checker boards
and other games, water-tight match
boxes. trench mirrors. Christmas neck
ties, handkerchiefs. hard candies, etc,
the many things which the man away
from home can enjoy. These packages
can be secured all ready for shipment,
but lack the home touch dear to all
at the Christmas season. so the ladies'
will give freely of their time to pre-
pare the packages. Eerything will
he purchased and the parcels prepared
alike. Now this is where your share
comes in. Mr.. and Mrs. Citizen and
family, contribute the funds to pur-
chase these things of Christmas cheer.
The Red Cross is not allowed to use
the regular funds for this work. but
the money must come through free
will offerings. You are urged to con-
tribute to this fund either by drop
ping your money in the RED Cross box
in the Delta postoffice lobby or you
may hand them to the Delta Red
Cross treasurer. Floyd Harding. The
public at large are invited to help
with this fund and a quick and gen.
erous response will be much appreci-
atted by the ladies who compose TIE
committee having the work in charge.
