WAR SUMMARY

The weather has cleared in north
ern France. Probably the Ger
mans have been waiting for this TO
launch another strong blow. Allied
airmen, however, have taken advan-
tage OF the change from rainy con-
ditions to drop many bombs on I'M
portant railway and concentration
centers behind the German lines.
In air fighting British aviators have
accounted for % German machines,
p of which were destroyed. One
enemy airplane was brought down
by rifle fire.
British and French troops south
west OF Ypres, having firmly re-es-
tabished the line attacked on We'd
nesday. are awaiting the next move
ment by the Germans in their ei-
forts to drive through behind Ipres.
The latest repulse was the second
the Germans have suffered along
the Noormezeele- Locre line since
the capture of Mont KENNEL, but
further attempts by the enemy are
expected.
Attention is being paid by the
Germans to the British line north
OF the Somme in Picardy, and for
the first time in several weeks the
enemy has attempted to advance his
lines west of Albert.
In a local attack by the British
after suffering heavy losses, the
Germans have captured $50 yards of
the British first line, but were re-
pulsed elsewhere. A similar local
operation at Bouzincourt, north OF
Albert, was smashed by the fire OF
British rifles and machine guns.
Elsewhere along the Flanders
and Somme battle fields only the
artillery has been active. Paris re-
ports violent firing in the sector
north Of Montdider to Hailles.
Latest reports indicate the Ger
man effort in the north was to have
been Of great strength but that the
British artillery on the east, and a
French infantry attack and barrage
on the west, broke up the enemy
divisions waiting to join the attack.
As a result, only two divisions at
tackled in the scant five miles be
tween Noormezeele and La Clytte.
After much heavy fighting these
troops had gained nothing and had
sustained heavy losses. Berlin re-
ports the capture OF 675 Anglo
French troops in raids.
RoStov-on-the- Don, the largest
city in the Don Cossack territory,
and near the mouth Of the Don river
has been occupied by the Germans.

Serious Situation Brings
Forth Call For Aid

The serious situation caused by
| the recent German offensive has
prompted the first and only appeal
which has been received from the
Secours National in Paris, since the
war began in 1914. Miss L. B
Patterson is in receipt OF letter
from Myron T. Herrick OF the New
York committee of the Secours Ma
tional in aid of this cause.
The Secours National. under the
patronage OF the president OF the
French republic, is the principal or
ganization in France for the relief
of non-combatant war sufferers. 1t
was formed and is managed by the
most important political and relig-
ious organizations upon strictly
non-partisan basis. 1t provides i'm
mediate relief for the inhabitants OF
the places destroyed by the Ger
mans and funds for the reconstruc-
tion of their homes; it maintains
workshops for the unemployed /;
supports shelters and restaurants
for French and Belgian refugees; !;
makes provision for the care of or
phaned or lost children and of old
people and assists in the relief OF
the thousands of civilians made
prisoners by the Germans, who, aft
er many months of imprisonment,
are sent back through Switzerland
i'm the most lamentable condition.
The German offensive has driven
from their homes thousands OF
French women, children and old
men. who were bravely trying to
till the soil Immediately behind the
French and English armies and thus
support their soldiers. These refu
gees desperately need the aid which
the Secours National committee.
through its efficient organization.
acting in cooperation with the
American Red Cross, is giving.
Because OF the imperative need
of the people the committee requests
that all contributions be made in
money in order that those in charge
in France may be able 20 immedi-
ately supply the needs. Contribu
tons should be made payable to
Mrs. Whitney Warren, 10 East
47th street, New York. who is treas
urer OF the New York committee.
or checks or money orders made
payable to Mrs. Warren, may be
sent to Miss L. B. Patterson. p
Fourth avenue, northwest. This
committee is giving its service and
information free to all contributors
and keeps itself informed as to
what form OF relief is most needed.
II acts as a purchasing and for
warding agent Tor organizations and
individuals who wish TO contribute
funds or supplies. 1t makes no
charge Tor its services and all con-
tributions for relief are delivered in
tact. without deduction for operat-
ing expenses. Its membership in
cludes many of the most prominent
and influential persons in New
York.
