British Headquarters in France
With the hot flames of war raging
along the entire western front British
and French alike. 1t can be stated
that each detail of the offensive has
been worked out at prolonged confer.
ences between General Nivelle and
Field Marshal Haig and the war coun-
ellis Of France and England The part
to be played by each belligerent has
been definitely agreed upon, and q
schedule has been arranged as for one
great cohesive force. Various tasks
have been precisely allotted along the
wide-reaching battle-lines, and the re-
suits thus far attained justify the con.
clusion that the supreme military test
of the war Is near at hand.
1t was planned that the British
should strike from Arras while the
French guns were still roaring their
preparation for infantry hostilities
along wide front farther to the
SOUTH
The successes gained in the first
stages of the British advance have
given the French great confidence in
the inauguration of their own enter
prises.
theater promises to be a titanic one.
The allies are prepared as never be-
fore both in material and personnel,
and are cooperating with smooth
ness which comes from a complete
understanding and thorough appreci-
alton of the work in hand.
The Germans have more divisions
on the western front than would have
been thought possible year ago, and,
however much of an "easterner" Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg may have
been in the past, he will have to de,
vote his entire time and attention to
western events for some weeks to
come
Already half a score of Germany's
best divisions have been smashed tC
pieces by the British onslaught and
their own unsuccessful counter attacks.
The Bavarian divisions were sacri.
ficed first, but the Prussian guard di.
visions, thrown in to stem the British
flood tide, have been suffering such
casualties in the last few days that
they will have to be relieved.
The Canadians accounted for a
large contingent of grenadiers in the
fighting, while the affair at Lagni-
court took its heaviest toll both in
dead and prisoners from five German
regiments.

ing pictures Of this war, the rout OF

The P. E. 0. Chapter

The +. +. o. chapter is an organized
body of expert cooks disguised as so
ciety women.
The T +. o. member is a secretive
person, far different from the average
open minded wife who never conceals
anything from her husband except
when she discovers the mute remains
Of custard pie in the oven. Most
husbands do not even know what p.
Z. o. stands for, although thousands
of determined efforts have been made
to wrest the information from mem
bers who would rather die than reveal
the semi monthly pass word and the
grand hailing sign Of distress It is 4

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-04-27

From the masculine standpoint the
chief function of the F. +. O. is to
hold open meetings and show what
food tastes like when it is cooked. 1t
is an oasis in the desert Of life when
lone bachelor is invited to a 2. f. O.
dinner and allowed to cuddle up to a
menu Of home cooking that clings to
memory 5 walls like q fv on a sheet
Of tangIefoot Efforts have been made
TO induce the +. f. O. to admit hus-
bands to full membership, in order to
supply dignity and appetite to the stat
ed meetings, but so far without effect.
The p +. .. is made up of women who
have been married long enough 50 that
there are times when they prefer to
be alone. The p. f. o. is an exclusive
society and is harder to get into than
the White House. Inasmuch as every
applicant must pass rigid examina
