The Saloniki front has been held for
me time almost exclusively py tne
Igarian and Austrian forces, wniie
Turkish fronts seem to have been
,andoned entirely to the ottoman
loops.
This shifting of forces has given the
Hindenburg- -Ludendorf machine vast
quantities of fighting material Tor tne
west front, not only for the present oi,
fensive lines, but also for the promiseo
activities at Verdun, as well as the eA-
pected lengthening Of the battle nhe

Shows Man Power Of Teutons.
The fact that the German communique
is so lavish in its revelation of names Is
most unusual These reports are practi-
cally written by Gen. Ludendorff himself
and in the past commanders names have
never been mentioned until the compile
ton of successful operations. when they
could come out in the lists Of decorations
conferred. Sometimes even then the Ger
man newspapers would not be allowed 10
designate the zones in which the generals
had operated.
Just why this should be changed at
this time is difficult to say. unless II Is
a part of the plan to advertise the
strength of the German attacking forces
For practically every general who has been
mentioned is full general in command
at least of an army-not an army corps
and the array thus listed is another ev1-
dcnce of the great man power whlch tne
German military machine has at its dis
poSal.

The Hoover Electric Suction Sweeper
Cleans Carpets and Rugs

And not only does it clean them thoroughly, bat
it cleans them easily. There is need for the old
time, back-breakng way of spring housecleaning.
With Hoover you can do the work IN half the
time and twice as well.
Here is what the Hoover Electric Suction
Sweeper does:
It sweeps rug or carpet thoroughly with its
swiftly revolving. motor-driven brush, picking up
lint and ravelngs.
It actually lifts . carpet fraction of an inch
off the floor and vigorously shakes 1t, and dis
lodges all embedded dirt
Il draws all loose dirt and lint and ravelings
up into dustproof bag, that can be emptied
easily and in most sanitary fashion Ordinary
sweeping and sweepers get only the loose, sur
face dirt
It freshens the colors and gives longer life to
rugs and carpets and to draperies.
In a word, it Is the best, modern, sanitary
Householder on the market, and we will be glad
TO have you give us opportunity of proving
this to YOU
You can see more about Hoover In . minute

o. f. Schuette Sheds Light ON
Vast Reserves of the Ger
mans in France.
BY OSWALD F. SCHUETTE.
Written for The Evening Star and the
ChicaE0 Daily News.

Each days dispatches tell of new re-
serves brought up by the Germans to
| fill their depleted lines and to keep the
battle fronts intact. There Is no longer
any doubt that the Germans are moving
on the relay" system, showing ahead
| fresh troops each day, moving them
past the tired troops of yesterdays s
fighting, only to bring up the men first
used for later battles
This method of fighting, of course, re-
quires far more men than would be re-
quired II the Germans should merely
drive their lines forward without at
tempting to substitute fresh regiments
in the front battle lines at every op-
portunity. But where do the German
reserves come from? How is it that
the German military machine can
count its men by hundreds of thousands.
can send new divisions to slaughter
daily. and yet reveal apparently from.
day to day an unbroken front?
1t must be remembered that the year
1917 was far from a destructive year
for German power. In deliberate OPP
position to the Falkenhayn system.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg saved
men in every way, refusing 10 order
counter attacks to make up for small
trench losses, unless the ground lost
was of such strategic value that it
would repay the sacrifice.
Hindenburg Retreat Saved Men.
The great ''Hindenburg retreat on
the present battle ground in March.
1917. was an example of this method
of conserving man power. even at the
cost of giving up large areas Besides
this. the Germans have been able to
bring to the west front all the real
fighting strength they had on the Rus
sian lines. OF course. it still takes
millions of men to hold the occupied
portions of Russia, partfclarly Poland,
but these are mostly the older units.
and the younger battle units are con-
centrated on the west front.
Even with the repeated reports of i'm
pending activity on the Italian fronts,
1t seems safe to assume that the Ger
mans have not put any more men there

Washington, ID. C.-With the subsid-

To pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a large number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this Win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health instructions.
THE present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, has taught by bit
ter experience how readily a condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic is
over, there viii continue to be a large
number of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecogniZed, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General llkened
the present situation to that after a
great fire, saying, mo fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinueS the water for hours and even

Still another factor in the produc-

Common Colds Highly Catching.

ut is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means of droplets OF
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or Sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. 1t
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer. when people
are largely out of doors, the respira-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
mia, etc) are infrequent; in the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
respiratory diseases increase in the
winter, when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
