London, June 19.-Yesterday's
developments on the western front
tended strongly to bear out recent
poses to make titanic effort to
force a decision in France this sum-
ner.
Upon the heels of his partly sue
cessful infantry attack against the
French below Laon Sunday, pre-
coded and followed by continuous,
terrific gunfire, he brought his re-
organized forces on the north front
into play today. He tackled the Brit
ish where they are most. menacing to
hi. Wotan lire, to the east of Mon
chy-Le-Preux. Here Sir Douglas
Haig's Arfas drive thrust deep
wedge into the Bavarian Grown
Princes lines protecting Douai. On
June IA the British smashed even
further eastward.
British headquarters admitted to-
day that after bitter combat the
Teuton ,sctorming columns succeeded
in penetrating some advanced posi-
tions. The main position, on Infan-
try Hill, remained in British hands,
however,
simultaneously the Teutons launch
ed a violent cannonade against. the
British lines below Ypres, where
General Plnmer crushed In the Wyt-
scheate salient IL days ago.
The ARMIES of France and Britain
await with confidence any blow the
Teuton high command may strike.
This is madeec clear in every utterance
by France and British staff officers
and in all front dispatches.
That Hindenburg will and must
strike snow or never" is generally
conceded. Here are four main rea-
sons:
II the Germans expect to win a
decision in the West-which, accord
ing to the consensus of military OBJ
servers, is the only front on which
decision can be obtained for either
side--they must strike:
l. Before American troops have
arrived in force.
2. Before Russia has rallied for an
offensive.

passed the last half of the evening
with Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Davies.
Mr.. Davies Is another person who
Is extremely popular and dances
beautifully. He seems to enjoy dane
ing as much as Miss Bones does. He
enters into the spirit Of the dancing
with real earnestness as he does
everything he undertakes; hence his
success. Everything he does he does
thoroughly and well. Though now
serving on the Federal Trade Com
mission he Is seriously considering
running for the United States Senate
from Wisconsin, and II he does he will

kind the country needs at this time.
He has quite an unusual mind, a
splendid education and all of the
qualities that make a real statesman.
Mrs. Davies Is a delightful woman and
a fitting help mate for such a man.
Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo and
Mr.. and Mrs. Julian Boiling, like Miss
Bones, refused to leave the Navy Re-
lief ball before the dancing had
ceased. Both Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo
have always loved to dance and do
1t very well, particularly together
Mrs. McAdoo looks we'll and happy
and full Of the joy of living. Quite
the most interesting young man at
that ball was Mr.. McAdoo's son,
Robert Haxelhurst McAdoo, ordinary
seaman. and the living image of his
father. He attracted the attention
of everyone by his pleasant boyish
face and delightful manners. He Is
the youngest OF the Secretary's sons
by his first wife and is about IS. He
was attending St. Paurs School at
Concord, N. H. and was to have
graduated last June, but quit school

navy and to serve under his Oldest |
brother, Francis Huger McAdoo, who |
is on the submarine chaser presented |
to the government by his father-in-
law, Capt. Isaac E. Emerson.
Ned Lane was at the ball too, and
looks very fine in his ensign uniform.
He Is a delightful boy and is very
popular among all ages. But then the
entire Lane family are charming.
