FRENCH MILITARY CRITICS ARE MUCH MORE CONF| F|DENT They Say Foch Can Block Enemy Now That His Objective Has Been
 Revealed

Paris, June 1.-The military crit jcs. says a Havas agency review today. still view the situation as serious, but consider the signs increasingly reas- suring The most important develop ment is regarded as the enemys ar- tempt to advance westward and push toward Parts. thus. it is considered. revealing his strategic intentions un- mistakably. sssas -aE@11
 In the first shock of this new rLsIl. it is pointed out, the allies were obliged to give ground in some places but they held their own on the Aisne and Ourcq and their vigorous counter attacks are considered prelude to the stoppage of the enemy advance.
 At the present the most important part of the battlefield is that with Noyon, or the region to the south of it. on the one end, and the district north of Chateau-Thierry on the Marne on the other. It is here that the German rush toward Paris de- mands undivided attention.
 The newspaper L'Homme Libre, Premier C1emenceaus organ, points out that the enemy plan to draw the allies towards the south and to push on westward only met with success as far as the firs- part of it was concerned. The remainder of the plan is being completely defeated, it de- clares, and everything gives reason to believe the enemy will be totally blocked
 There was much satisfaction evinced yesterday in the lobby of the deputies over the information given the mem bers by the army control delegates, The particulars cannot be published as they have to do with troop move ments.
 In greeting a delegation of socialist | deputies, Premier Clemenceau voiced his absolute confidence in the issue of the present operations.
 All furloughs and leaves of absence in the army have been suspended.

 Scene Of Greatest Battle

London, June 1.-The gravity of the news from the western front is empha- sized in this mornings newspapers. which comment anxiously on thes ituation, al though they express hopefulness as to the final outcirne. The Daily News says the statement given last night by military authority to the Associated Press, in which the situation was depicted as very anx- ious one, is disquieting. since 1t must be accepted as reliable This newspaper, however encourages the view that the situation is in nowise past retrieving.
 The Daily Telegraph sees great possi- bilities in the strategic situation. As serting that the anxiety and stress of the last few days are not diminishing, it adds:

EXTENT OF GERMAN
 SUCCESS IS SURPRISING

There was no effort here to disguise the fact that the success of the Ger mans up to this time has been sur prise. Apparently clements of strat- egy have been employed which forced the withdrawal of the French on an unexpected scale. General March ex- plained to the senators that lonE-range fire with gas shells had played a part in the German strategy.
 The French positions, miles in rear of the front lines, were repeatedly drenched with toxic shells of large

 Confidence in American help is shown in the comment of several newspapers. The Daily Mail enumerates the strong points in favor of the allies, including the rapid arrival of American troops, which will speedily restore the allies pre- ponderance in numbers"
 The Times also looks to the day when tue arrival of Americans will more than reverse the present proportions.
 The Telegraph finds substantial en- coura cement" in such facts as the Amer ican success at Carftigny, which it praises highly as an exhibition of a master method of fighting. It places reliance on the formidable American hosts now pre- pairing to engage the enemy.

APPEALS TO THE
PATRIOTIC ORDERS
Columbia, March 6, 1918.

Dear Sir:
The patriotic help of the Fraternal
Orders in South Carolina is earnestly
requested by the Food Administration.
a great work can be performed by
these great institutions in a most es-
sential part of the war work.
South Carolina does not feed her.
self. This State is therefore a drag
upon the other States. AS a service
to the country South Carolina should
feed herself.
My appeal to you is:
l. That you preach the conserva-
tion of food on all occasions, especial
ly wheat.
2. That you urge the necessity of
planting more food crops.
3. That you urge the necessity for
our people to observe the rules of the
Food Administration and follow it's
advice. Entire frankness will prevail
and no undue hardships will be sug-
gested.
d. That you explain everywhere the
necessity for saving wheat. Explain
that we cannot ship corn but can shin
wheat. There arc no corn mills in
Italy, France and England The meal
will spoil in transit. If we shin tho
corn mllls, each mill will displace one
or more cannon which are sorely need
ed. The allies do not know how to
prepare corn products, whereas we
know the art and can eat the corn. It
is therefore essential to ship the arm
les the wheat because we cannot shin
the corn.
5. Urge the planting or gardens.
Every family should have it's garden
ana every city home should raise as
many vegetables as space permits.
The more vegetables raised The less.
wheat will be consumed.
If you spread this simple message
to everyone it will produce great re-
suits. The saving Of meat by the
American nation ha sheen so great
that the armies of our associates in
the war are being we'll fed out of our
savings. We can do the same with
respect to wheat
Yours very truly, /,
WIN. ELLIOTT,
ROOD Administrator for South Caro-
lima.
