Foe Now Unable
to Buoy People

London.-Maior General Maurice.
writing in the Daily News, says that
every autumn until this year the
enemy has been able to bring off
some great coup and to dangle vic
tory before the eyes of the German
people like a carrot dangle' before
the nose of a donkey. This year the
outlook has become utterly hopeless,
he continues, adding:
Now we are combining effective
military pressure with relentless ma
val pressure. which If slow has been
certain and terrible.
Marshal E'och very sklIfully de-
feated the obvious attempt of the
enemy to force us to destroy Lille
with our guns. for he was maneuver-
ed out of Lille by King Alberts ad-
vance on Ghent."

police force.
Gaffney had been sought vainly for
months by the entire police force of
New York and finally was traced
through his meetings with young
woman cabaret singer who was known
to have been friendly with him be-
fore his conviction.
At North Bergen, Gaffney posed as
bank clerk. He was known as THE
Duke" because of his immaculate
clothes. He had attempted to dis
guise himself by dying his hair and
wearing spectacles.

NEED 800 MEN FOR
 RECREATION WORK

Washington, May 8-According to a cablegram received by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Ac- tivities from Walter N. Kernan, Knights of Columbus Commissioner with the American armies overseas, 50 men are needed for Knights of Columbus recreation work abroad. The employment of these men has been authorized by the committee and it is expected that recruiting offices will be opened in all the principal cities of the United States. In the meantime, applications will be rece1v- ed at the Washington office of the committee.
 Four contingents of Knights of Columbus chaplains and field secre- taries have already gone abroad and are now at work in France. Applica- tions from men who desire to render foreign service as secretaries are be- ing received from all parts of the country The great need now is for men who are experienced in construc- tion work, as it is impossible to secure sufficient labor in France.
 "One of our most important prob lens is the erection of suitable build ings for the use of the men over there'," says Col. P. H. Callahan, chairman of the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. ''These | buildings will be similar in every re- spect to those we are now operating in the American camps, and they will

In addition to these, we can use more secretaries and men who can prepare light re- treatments for the boys going and coming from the trenches"
 It is pointed out by the Committee on War Activities that men who enter this work must be willing to go to the battle front if necessary, and to share in the hardship that fall to the lot of the soldiers. They must be physically strong and preferably be- tween the ages of 40 and 50 years.
