OF two to four years in Sing Sing

When called before his local board

laughed and announced that he
could not be drafted because he had
committed a crime, having two wives.
They were Mrs Rebecca Lippman. OF
Newark, whom he married nine years
ago, and Mrs Sarah Lippman, OF the

AMERICANS SAVED
FOR GIGANTICPUSH
BY GENERAL FOCH
ny J. W. +. MASON.

NEW YORK, July 27.-General
Foch Is now holding back his Ameri-
can units in the Aisne-Marne combats.
Very little scope is being given them
for strong aggressive lighting. and
the battle in fact. is dying down for
the most part, to artillery lombard
ments.
General Foch knows the. supreme
value OF the Americans for bringing
the war to a successful ending. He
Is showing he reckons them too high
ly to permit them to be sacrificed in
exchange for territorial gains that
are not of large strategic Importance.
The time for Americas pre-eminent
part in the war has not yet come.
The Rhine can not be reached with
the Aisne-Marne salient as a starting
point; and IL is only by operations in
the direction OF the Rhine that deci-
sive results can be expected from the
Americans.
New Strategy Studied.
The intensity Of the German resist
ance between the Aisne and the
Marne Is providing a unique oppor-
tunIty for studying the new char
acteristics of Won Hindenburg's de-
fensive strategy. There can be no
doubt that the German general staff
has drawn up a highly intricate
strategic plan for the defense OF Ger
man territory against Americas
forthcoming major offensive. An
inkling as to the nature of these
plans is obtainable from the char
acter OF the present fighting.
1t is, therefore, a highly essential
part OF the work of General Foch's
staff to make 4 careful study of the
methods Won Hindenburg is now
using south of the Aisne. There is
no doubt that some OF the German
defensive tactics are new and are
worth very careful analysis.
Enemy's Plans Menaeed.
The continual advance OF the
Franco-Americans toward Fere-en-
Tardenois is threatening Won Hin
denburg's plans, but how he is meet
ing this danger is a matter for close
examination by the allies.
Between the Lorraine border and
the Rhine are q number OF German
supply stations, similar in Importance
to Fere-en-Tardenois. These stations
will have to fall to the Americans be-
fore the Rhine is reached. II they are
captured quickly. once the American
drive starts. ii will be partly due to
the revelation OF Won Hindenburg's
new defense strategy now being
drawn from him at Fere-en-TardenOIs.

Much as I love aviation and strong
as are my business interests in it,
am compelled to admit a thing which
enthusiasts in aerial travel ignore,
and that is that there is no such
thing as perpetual safety in the air.
This, of course, is rather an incen-
tive to than a deterrent from flying
to the adventurous, but it is bound
to have an effect on the average man.
I am speaking, of course, of the i'm
mediate future only. In the '1ong

sibilities in the evolution Of aviation.
There is an immediate future for
aircraft as aids to the worlds pros
