were being sorted out and studied as
each was represented on card full
of personal data. One June Z. he was
ordered to the officers training school,
and was in several different ones dur.
ing the three months of intensive
training for a commission, at the end
OF which he won commission.
Although an experienced national
guardsman in the past, Lieutenant
Rovane found the schooling in the Of
ficers training camp to be of the stiff
fest kind imaginable. From revielle
to taps every minute was crowded
with work, and he says it is literal
fact that he did not have time to write
short letter except on Sundays.
French and British officers assisted
American officers in the instruction
which made the actual fighting in
France realistic here, and vent into
every detail from bomb throwing to
the tactics used in chasing Huns who
are conducting rear guard action

Lieutenenant Rovane is in the pink
of condition. de chose the infantry
for his arm of service and for awhile
probably will be engaged in training
recruits in a southern cantonment.

WAR SUMMARY

fContfnued from page ~

ditions readjust themselves to the
new alignment.
Marshal Foch will not press for
ward recklessly, but will resume his
local drives after careful selection
of the weakest spots in the new line
Won Hindenburg is now establishing,
The front Won Hindenburg has
secured by his hop backward toward
the Somme, is almost geometrically
straight from its nearest point to the
Somme southwark for twenty miles
to Noyon.
The line, therefore, is capable OF
being held by a minimum number of
men but unfortunately for Won Hin
denburg it turns at right angles to
the eastward at Noyon. The wedge
thus created is by far the sharpest
pocket into which Won Hindenburg
has put his troops since his west
front retirement began. II Marshal
Foch were to succeed in cutting
through the German angle at Noyon
he would definitely sever Won Hin
denburg's southern flank from his
western front.
1t was for such result as this that
Won Hindenburg played. and lost when
at st. Quentin last spring he tried to
separate the British and French
armies. The intensity of the German
resistance at Noyon is accounted for
by the fact that Won Hindenburg is
compelled to sacrifice his troops
without regard to number in order to
prevent Noyon from becoming for the
Germans a more fatal ST. Quentin.
Marshal Foch, for his part, is main
tanning strict accord with his basic
strategy in declining to use his men
for a reckless gamble at Noyon. The
chances in the present war have con-
sistently shown great odds against
break through. If Marshal Foch were
to make a major attempt at Noyon
and fail, after having paid price of
a hundred thousand casualties the
laurels would be Won Hindenburg's.
BY combining the Noyon operations to
a local scale, but remaining on the
alert for any sudden weakness, Mar
shall Foch is adopting the wiser
course Noyon must be evacuated
eventually by Won Hindenburg and
the whole German line moved back,
but Won Hindenburg should be pre-
vented from compelling the allies to
pay for this operation by a large
casualty list.

German morale now is at a lower ebb

by the increasingly large number of
prisoners the British have taken.
Many of these have shown re-
