French War "Celebrities"
Guido Punch and Judy
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, June 24-Almost overnight
Paris has produced two war celebri-
ties, and it is safe to say that not
even Punch and Judy ever enjoyed
greater popularity. They are Nenette
and Rintintin.
Nenette is a droll little woman with
a funny red face. green waist and a
sea rlet skirt.
Rintintin has the same penchant
for striking colors, but wears trousers.
Both are about an inch or two high
and are made of few scraps of wool
and silk thread. They are INSOFAR
a BILE, a bit of colored worsted binding
them together.
Women wear them, without shame
around their necks. Men hide them
in their pockets. For they are mas
cots against air raids and the long
range gun.
No one seems to know exactly
where they came from. Some say they
were created by shop girls active
mind and clever fingers. and that she
gave them the queer pet names of
two tiny refugees from Amiens.
The first rule to observe when &C
quiring this wonderful couple is not
to buy them. II you do they are no
longer mascots, but hoodoos. The
second rule is that they must be
made by the lady who gives them to
you, or there is no telling what may
happen.

FOCH MAY WAIT
UNTIL FALL TO
LAUNCH drive
Won Hindenburg is Expected
to make a New Move This
Week.

WASHINGTON. June 24-Ameri-
can forces, cooperating with the Brit
lsh and French. are nibbling at the
lines Of the enemy on the western
front. seeking information as to the
time and direction of the next Ger
man drive.
From information already obtained
and from the indications that the Aus
trian drive of the Italian lines has
proved abortive. the expectation is
that Hindenburg will make a new
move this week. either in the direc-
ton of Paris or with the channel ports
as his main objective.
All along the line from Newport to
Lorraine, official advices show. the
allied armies are carrying out nightly
multiple raids for the capture of pris
oners. Such counterraids as have
been made thus far by the Germans,
army officers here declare. are to To-
cate the sore spots in the line of the
defenders.
Despite the enormous weekly in
crease In the size OF the American
force in France, now totaling on to-
ward 100000 men, it still is the be-
lief of military experts here that no
general offensive will be launched by
the allies on the western front until
late fall or next spring.
General Foch Is determined to un-
dertake nothing of the kind until his
numerical superiority Is SO over
whelming as to make resistance on
the part of the enemy futile.
The game from Hindenburg's stand
point. on the other hand, continues to
be the one OF seeking a decision be-
fore that numerical superiority is
piled up against him. Therefore. it
is argued, he must continue to strike
at all costs.
On the British theory that a mini
mum of five or six months is required
to fit British contingents arriving in
France for front line duty, the Ameri-
can troops arriving now in France at
the rate of 100000 a week will be fully
trained by fall, should the allied Of
fensive be decided on for that period
