SAYSFRENCH GIRLS
Will FLOCK TO THE
j. S. after WAR

FITCHBURG, Mass, March IL
French girls by thousands will flock
to tie United States after the war,
according to Lieut.. Charles ]. Kill
patrick, an electrician, who is organ
izing lines OF communication between
battalion units of the United States
army in France.
In a letter to friends here he says
the French girls like the American
troops, apd are so much impressed
by the Sammies' descriptions Of the
u. S. A. that they are already plan
ming to come to this country when
peace comes.
The Frenchmen, too. Lieutenant
fitzpatrick says, are also coming over,
4, they are dissatisfied with their
lot" Extracts from his letter follow:
male labor is scarce here. The
women and girls are out chopping
wood. so that the. chair shops can
operate. Just below, where I am
billeted, is a sawmill that before the
war employed thirty men. II had
been idle for two years. A gang of
women has been operatingit it. They have
not time to go into the woods and
haul logs, so they chop down beauti-
full shade trees on the highway.

there Will be a young man left in
France. Those the Germans have not
killed will migrate to the United
States or Canada. Like a good many
in West Fitch5urg. they have for gen.
erations lived in the same little viii
lage and never mixed with the outside
world. Some of these natives could
not tell you the name of town ten
miles away.
During the present war the young
men have rubbed elbows with men
from all over the earth. and IL has
made them dissatisfied with their lot,
and they all talk about the United
states and Canada and the chance
man has there. So. what chance has

The War Department authorizes
the publication of the following re-
view OF the military operations for the
week ended March 9:
In spite of the fact that 10000
square miles of Russian territory
have been invaded during the past
three weeks and the enemy now is
sweeping forward into the heart OF
Russia, and has reached a point with
in seventy miles OF the capital, never
theless. the center of gravity Of the
war remains in the west. The Ger
mans have for the past three and
half years done all in their power to
upset the center OF gravity and shift
it eastward. This explains the sue
cessive blows struck in Russia and
later in the Italian theRter. Not
withstanding the diversions Of the
minor campaigns in Mesopotamia,
Palestine, and the Balkan front, the
key positions OF the war are France
and Flanders. Here the strategic
situation remains relatively constant

The enemy is completing the re-
distribution Of available forces.
There are some new units flowing
into the lines in the nature Of re-
placements. Nothing in the situation
should lead US to estimate that the
Germans have abandoned their pans
OF a major offensive in the west.
Considering tactical dispositions, We
note that the enemy has developed
two principal axes Of activity, the one
piyoting on Rheims, the other in AL
SAGE in front OF Luneville.
The allies, while assuming an alert
defensive, are resting content with
allowing the enemy to break the
strength of his assaults against their
impregnabIe line The morale of the
French and British forces has never
been better. They are keenly anxious
to give battle to the enemy, confident
OF their. superiority.
