for Hindenburg to begin to
shorten his life at non-essen-
tial points, he fears to do SO
because of the effect a retiring
movement would have upon
German opinion at home.
Every extra mile of en-
trenchments requires a SINH
lar weakening of Gen. Foch's
reserves but the ultimate ef-
feet is far different for the AL
lies, because they are not yet
on the offensive.
The depletion Of linden
burgs reserves in order to
lengthen the front, means an
end to Germany's final effort
to win the war by offensive
tactics. But it would suit Gen
Foch's tactics perfectly if all
his own mobile reserves were
to be used to man new miles
Of trenches provided a similar
duty we're enforced upon all

Each Attempt Now
To Break Through
Becomes Difficult

New York, June What
ever sectors General linden
burg may choose for his next
sacrifcial offerings of German
man power, the future on
slaughts cannot develop the
power of those that have pass
ed because Germany's vast re-
serve forces are now depleted
to a highly serious degree.
Since the beginning of the
German spring offensive on
March 21st, Hindenburg has
lost at least a half a million Of
his reserves. These have been
used up both by furnishing
new men to replace casualties
and by taking over the active
protection Of the extensions Of
the German front. 1t is i'm
probable that Hindenburg now
has in reserve more than 4oo,-
900 troops, and the number
may not exceed 100000. This
is enough for another effort to
shatter the Allied line, but it
is not enough to permit any
degree Of persistence in such
an attempt, Each attempt to
break through or reach a vital
point now becomes a danger
Gus handicap to Hindenburg
if he gains a few miles Of ter
ritory. Every extra mile OF
frontage taken over by Hin
denburg requires the with
drawal Of 5000 men from the
German reserves for its pro
lection. And, yet, however,
strategically wise it msy be

Purity Gives Power.

There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purer the blood is
the greater is the power of the sys-
tenn to remove the disease and the
less the liability to contact it. Per-
sons whose blood is in good condition
are much less likely to taks cold or
to be long troubled with it, or to
catch any contagious or infectious
disease, than are those whose blood
is impure and therefore impoverish-
ed and lacking in vitality. The best
medicine for purifying the blood is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and persons suf-
fering from any blood disease or any
want Of tone in the system are urged
to give this medicine a trial. 1t is
especially useful at this time of year.

Alta Boy!

Paris, June 6.-The spirit
and morale Of the American
soldiers wounded in the Can
tigny battle, 80 per cent of
whom will recover, is wonder
full. The first question they
ask the surgeon is:
doc, when will / be able
to go back after the German
who fixed me?'
Two young privates were
awaiting their turn t oenter
the operating room of a large
American hospital in Paris to-
day. One said:
81 have been over the top
three times and it is the great
est sport / ever had. Fix me
up quick because / want to go
back after the boches again"
The second soldier, who had
a serious wound in the thigh,
said:
"If ! do not return to the
trenches | have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that l fixed
three-two bayoneted and one
shot. / am satisfied"
The soldier probably will re-
cover but he will lose his leg.
