MANY a woman endures with noble

PUBLIC SYMPATHY
GROWING PR0-ALLY
IN SWITZERLAND
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Public
opinion in the German speaking por-
tions of Switzerland has undergone a
great change recently and those can
tons are rapidly approaching in sym
pathy the French portions of the re-
public which has been proally since
the outbreak of the war; according to
an official dispatch from France.
The dispatch says that the Frank
fort Zeitung publishes a long letter
from a German resident of Switzer-
land which testifies to the change in
public opinion. The writer of the let
ter says:
"a great part of public opinion has
become entente-ophile, or else is act
ing as if it has become so. Another
part has remained theoretically neu-
trail: A very small proportion of the
population has sympathies for the
German cause"
The correspondent explains his con-
dition by remarking that the entente
is supplying Switzerland with bread
and that Switzerland depends indus
trially more on the entente than on
Germany.
Another official dispatch received
here say that the Swiss Federal coun-
Gil has indefinitely postponed the sup

PARIS, Aug 22.-The allies have
July II and the British are now eating
into the seventh, with the spread OF
the battle northward and over a front
of 20 miles. Whether the enemy is
prepared or unprepared allied efforts
have had good results and the Ger
mans have been out-generaled and out
fought. The armies attacked and dam
aged in the past six weeks have been
those of Generals Won Einem, Won Mu-
dra, Won Boehn, Won Eben, Won Hutier
and Won Der Marwitz.
The full designs of Marshal Foch
are known only to himself and per-
haps one or two others, but it is be-
lieved generally that his aim is not as
the Germans claim, to pierce their
line, but to strike succession Of
blows to cause the enemy fireplace
able losses in men and material and
to force him to make more or less dis
astrous retreats. If that be the mar
shals plan, he is executing it with
skill and unvarying success. General
Ludendorff is being forced to expend
his effectives out of all proportions to
his resources on given sector of the
,
struck home or another sector.
At no place have the Germans ap-
parently been strong enough to check
the attack entirely.
Enemy Resistance Desperate.
Wednesday the resistance was most
desperate on the right of General
Mangin's army in the neighborhood of
Bieuxy If the French are able to
reach the neghboring village of Juvi-
gny the salient marked by the viii
lagos of Juvigny, Gsly and Pasly
would become untenable for General
Won Eben, who would be obliged to re-
treat beyond the Soissons- -Coucy-Le-
Chateau road. The German situation
there is unenviable enough at present
but would become still worse as the
French progressed. The Germans also
would have to abandon the Vesle-
Aisne line and go back to the Chemin-
Des-Dames.
Military observers that are of an
optimistic turn of mind are convinced
that the Germans will end their de-
fense by falling back to the old Hind
enburg line all along the front at
no very distant date. While that
may be so, the enemy shows no signs
at present Of doing so voluntarily and
is fighting stubbornly and skillfully.
