FOCH KEEPS COOL AND
WAITS PATIENTLY
THE time TO STRIKE
viii Not Use Reserves Until
Right Moment To Make
Blow Effective
By J. w. T. Mason

(WSitten for the United Press)
New York, April 18.-Further stiff
fening Of the British front today jus
titles General Foch S reluctance to use
up great part of his reserves in de-
fensiye fighting to protect Ypres and
Hazebrouck.
If Won Hindenburg's bloody effort to
reach the channel ports can be perman-
entity checked without disturbing the
allies reserves, the Germans will have
met one of the most serious defeats in
the war. 1t will mean that Hindenburg
has failed to compel Foch to accept the
German conditions for an allied often
sive. This unquestionably is the reason
why Foch is showing such persistent re-
fusal to employ his reserves along the
northern end of the battle front.
1t is unreasonable to expect Foch
to develop at this time so overwhelm-
ing a counter offensive as would force
the, Germans back to the positions they
occupied before the present drive began
When the Germans started their ad-
vance four weeks ago, they were fresh
and had spent all winter preparing
their plans and aecumulating vast stores
of munitions. The allies are now weak
ened because of their defensive fight
ing aud have shot away large part of
their reserve ammunition.
For Foch to use his reserves now for
offensive purposes would be to attempt
to drive the Germans back while the
allies have probably not more than fifty
per cent of their maximum offensive
efficiency. To take the offensive about
Ypres and Hazebrouek would mean for
Foeh as heavy a price in casualties for
meager gains as Hindenburg is now
paying This would suit Hindenburg ad-
mirably. He could turn to the German
people and declare that the allies re-
serves had been enticed into battle az
the farthest point away from German
territory, and at time when the allies
efficiency was far from its potential
maximum
Hindenburg recently said a battle is
living thing that takes time to de-
velop. Foeh understands quite well that
this maxim holds true also, for a eoun-
er offensive.

Models and specifications for the
shoe and suits are being considered by

of England is followed, the tan shoe

TO CLIP MILLION

!. FROM TRAIN RUNS
Director McAdoO to Reduce
Passenger Service West
Of Mississippi
TRAINS MUST CARRY NO
HALF FILLED CARS
d
One Passenger Train VIII Be
Made Practically TO Do
Work Of Two

Washington, April 1S--Director Gem
eral McAdoo is about to clip 100000
miles month from the total mileage
travelled by passenger trains west OF
the Mississippi river.
Details of the remodeled train schcd-
ules are practically complete and an
official announcement of the change
is expected within ten days, it was
learned at the offices of the railroad
administration here today.
The revolutionary change, besides re-
leasing scores of locomotivs for haul
ing wah necessities, is directly in limo
with MeAdoo IS policy Of economy in
operations Of the national railways. 1t
will place passenger service on a strict
ly war basis. One train practically will
be doing the work Of two, 10 was said.
Constant calls for speed in handling
materials needed in the prosecution
of the war has forced the transporta-
tion Of passengers to be given second
airy consideration. Recent elimination
of "superfluous trains" east Of the
Mississippi river has provided a basis
for the arrangement Of train sched-
ules in other sections. The plan, which
will be announced shortly, is expected
to affect the entire west.
Must FIJI Coaches
Although the cut in service promises
to be the most drastic since the gov
ernme1Rt took charge Of the rail lines,
officials stated the scheduling has
been worked out on purely an efficien-
cy basis They asserted the public.
would suffer few Inconvenience.
Transcontinental trains no longer
will be permitted to carry half filled
coaches And they will make more
stops since contemplated changes will
eliminate numerous local trains The
number of trains from coast to coast
will be fewer. Details as to the exact
reduction in that service were refused,
but it was understood the same curtail-
ment would be effected as ON connect
ing eastern lines, where fewer trains
have proved practical.
The north routes 10 the Pacific
coast are regarded by officials as hav-
ing tho highest percentage Of ''super-
fluous trains. - Therefore fewer trains
between Chicago and st.
Paul is certain to, be the rule.

ing in price.
Officials are also keeping an eye on
post war foreign trade and their deter
mination to hold down prices is ex-
planned in part as a desire to have
America at the end of the war ON a
price level which will permit competi-
ton with foreign countries. They
point out that if prices are allowed to
rise now, labor will demand its share
of the increase, supplies will go up,
and once raised, it will be extremely
difficult to attempt a reduction such
as would be necessary when the Amer
lean manufacturers undersell other
countries.
England's success in standardizing
clothing is being carefully studied and
it is probable that whatever America
does will be modelled after the action

AUSTRIAN TROOPS IN

Refused Even To Go To Italy
--TeutOns Try To Make
1t German Colony

Washington, April 1s.-Austrian
troops in the Ukraine have refused to
do services on the west frcnt, or even
in IfalJ, according to rumors reaching
the Etate department. today. In addition
to these rumors, authentic information
showed that the Teutons are trying TO
convert the Ukraine into a German
Austrian colony.
Insofar as possible, the Teutons have
cut off all communication between the
Ukraine and Russia and are supplanting
the Ukraine officials with Austrian or
German officials. German and Austrian
money is being circulated and the ma
tive money is being suppressed as fast
as possible.
These facts came from reliable sourc-
es, which the department did not feel at
liberty to reveal. At the same time an
unsubstantiated story was that the Teu-
ons intend to dissolve the Ukrainian
legislative body, the rada.
The department was without informa
tion as to whether Germany has been
able to draw new reserves from the east
front for western fighting since the
great offensive started. 1t had reason
to believe recently, however, that Ger.
many had drained the eastern reserve
about to the limit before the west of.
