sing the role of the skylark in the
cuntata THE Swan and the Skylark"
en- May 7th.
80 Although her managers had prev
iuusly failed to agree upon terms
with the society for this same en-
Eagement, Miss Kline put aside her
personal plans and preferences con-
scented to appear, and started back to
New York to prepare for the concert.
The Choral society and New Britain
al indebted to Miss Kline for her
consideration and will give her a
hearty welcome when she appears
next week.
Born and trained in America, Miss
Kline is one of the most popular So
prano singers before the public to-
Gay; In fact the demands for her
services in concert and festival work
are so great that last fall she felt
obliged to decline flatter-ing offer
from the Metropolitan Opera COM
pany made her at that time but
which would prevent her leaving New
York during the opera season, Prev
ious to the opera season she made
a tour with Pasquale Amato, the
noted baritone Of the Metropolitan
Opera company, in joint song reci-
tails and since then has been on tour
with the Chicago Symphony orches-
ira as leading soprano soloist in their
festival work. Miss Kline has APP
peared In musical festivals in Wor-
cester, Chicago, Minneapolis, Oma-
ha. Buffalo, Columbus. Ann Arbor,
etc. She has also appeared in joint
song recitals with Tita Ruffo, the
wonderful italian baritone, now
fighting in Italy and previously a
NJ mber of the Chicago Opera COM
rany, and has also done considerable
work with Paul Althouse, tenor of
the Metropolitan Opera company of
New York who shares with her the
principal parts in 1.-THE Swan and the
Skylark'' next Tuesday night. Miss
Kline and MI Althouse have made
many song records together and the
fact that their voices blend beautiful
" will add to the artistic standard of
the concert next Tuesday night.

Movement of American troops
into Alsace is strategic measure
that must exercise a serious in
fluence on future disposition OF
Won Hindenburg' fast dwindling
reserves, and may interfere with
his plans for new offensive in
western France.
The new American positions are
so far away from the present
area of activity along the west
front as to compel Hindenburg to
organize a large separate reserve
force to protect the upper Rhine
against sudden American attack.
These reserves must be drawn
from the central German reser-
voirs that make good the losses
incurred by Hindenburg's futile
drives in Flanders, Picardy and
Champagne.
Any strengthening of the Ger
man positions in Alsace as the
result of Americas increasing
power in that sector must neces-
sariiy decrease the striking force
of a German offensive towards
Paris and the channel ports.
If Hindenburg prefers to take
chances with the Americans and
weaken his Alsace line for the
benefit of future operations in
western France. the Stars and
Stripes may be planted on the
banks of the Rhine ahead of

1t is not at all strange that Bas-

he would not be disappointed.
1t is not surprising from his

The following letter was re-
ceiyed here by Louis Burnett at
Victory hall:
81 am much pleased to see that
Tacoma is seriously undertaking
a War Savings Stamp drive. The
importance of these small invest
ments cannot be over-estimated.
1.-THE aggregate will be a sur
prising sum if men, women and
children get busy and invest the
savings resulting from the exer-
else of a little self-denial in the
matter of smokes, candy, soft
drinks, movies, etc. There is a
very true old Scotch saying that
many a mickle make a muckle. Z"
"The country needs the money
and each of these small investors
will be helping the men in the
trenches to bring to an end this
great war which is filling the
world with suffering and sorrow.
Get in line, my Tacoma
friends, with your small invest
ments which are sure to effect big
results. Lend your Uncle Sam
the money now, while he needs
it, he will repay you with inter-
est some happier day. He always
keeps his promises; never repudi-
ates. Yours truly,

believe 1t would be struck-on the
Disc front between Montidier and
Noyon. This time he was ready,
and the Germans were held to a
five mile advance at terrible
losses.
Hindenburg Is now concentrate
ing his forces for a fifth attack
somewhere along the front from
Ypres to Verdun. 1t will not be
long in coming. 1t is possible that
even he is not yet certain where ii
will fall.
The Germans have the advan-
tage of the allies in occupying the
inside OF a semi-circle, where they
can mass a vast number of troops
and throw them at "a hours no
tice against any point in the long
line that seems most vulnerable.
If the strategy of the last three
months is followed, the foe will
strike at a point which has not felt
the shock of battle this year. In
this event the front between
Rheims and Verdun is the most
likely.
On this front, near Chalons-sur-
Marne, American troops are in
the line, unless they have been re-
moved by Gen. Foch to reinforce
some other part of the front.
May Attack in Lorraine.
The possibility also exists of an
attack on the American line to
the east OF this front, anywhere
between st. Mihiel and Luneville
German troops have been coneen-
trated behind this line, and Gen
Pershing has been preparing to
meet an offensive there.
An attack here would not seri-
ously affect the battle for Paris
but 1t might force a retirement OF
the allies from the Verdun salient
If the Germans were successful.
The majority Of the military

I observers, however, are agreed
that the Germans must renew
their battle somewhere between
Ypres and Rheims If they are to
gain their hopes-tlfe separation
Of the British and French armies
and the capture of Paris and the
channel ports.
This requires Hindenburg to
make one straight line of the
front between Montdidier and
Chateau Thierry. forcing the
French back on the Disc, where
the fighting of the last week took
place. To do this he must take
from the allies a strip of terri
tory 30 miles wide at its base and
IL miles deep at its deepest point.
So far the Disc drive has pene-
trated the allied line to only a
fraction of this extent, leaving
the German line open to thanking
attacks from two sides.
The second requirement of this
battle for Paris is for the Ger
mans to return to the battle at
Amiens and Arras, break the Brit
ish line and roll Gen. Haigs army
back into Belgium.
Thus we may expect the next
blow to come at one of three
points:

scheduled time.
Americans in Alsace are about
20 miles from the Rhine.
Capture of the river near the
Swiss boundary might suddenly
become an immediate American
objective any time in the near
future If Hindenburg leaves the
pathways guarded only by weak
attachments.
FOch's Puzzle.
Before the German spring Of
fensive began, Hindenburg had a
large reserve army stationed near
the Swiss border in anticipation
OF an American attack in that
area. There is reason to believe
the slaughter of German man
power in Flanders, Picardy and
Champagne compelled linden
burg to deplete these reserves
very considerably.
This is doubtless one of the
considerations that Gen. Foch is
to send the new American troops
into Alsace.
In consequence of Gen. Foch's
move, Hindenburg again is COM
PEELED to face one of those terri
BILE puzzles that Gen. Foch SO
persistently forces on the Ger
man general staff.
If the Rhine is left partly open
in Alsace, an American offensive
is deliberately invited, while If II
is closed with heavy German re-
serve reinforcements, the slim
chance of reaching Paris or the
channel becomes simmer still.

B.. Between Amiens and Arras.
The fifth phase will be no more
decisive than were the first four.
1t will be followed by a series Of
offensives for the rest of the sum-
mer, for the kaiser has staked
everything on the result of the
next four months fighting.
He must concentrate all his re-
sources on the effort to gain a
final decision this summer.
Why?
Because next year 1000, 900
American soldiers-the hardest
fighters the Germans have ever
faced-are going to start their
drive across the Rhine to Berlin.
We need look for no strong al
lied offensive this year. AS long
as the allies remain numerically
inferior to the reinforced Ger
man armies, they will devote all
their strength to holding the Ger
mans back from Paris and the
coast.
During the winter the war will
return to one of position; that is.
trench fighting. In the meantime
the never-ending line of American
troops will continue to increase
the allies effectiyes.
In the spring will come the
Armageddon that will crush the
Huns forever.
