Aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray;
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron sceptred sway;
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell.
When his eyes should catch the sig
nal,
Very happy news to tell.
Sec! see! the dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line.
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the sign!
With his small hands upward lifted
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hark! with deep clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air.
flushed the peoples swelling murmur
List the boys strong boyish cry
Ring" he shouts aloud, "RingI
Grandpa!
Ring! o, Ring for Liberty"
And straightway, at the signal
The old bellman lifts his hand
And sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing
How the old bell shook the air
Till the clang of freedom ruffled
The calm gliding Delaware!
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose
And from the flames like Phoenix
Fair liberty arose!

ALLIES PREPARING
FOR GREATEST
DRIVE OF WAR

Washington, d. c., July l -Re-
sumption of the German offensive
on the west front is expected
here. General Pershing's reports
as well as French and British ad-
vices show increasing enemy ac-
tivity day by day indicating
that the Germans are preparing
for another assault.
There is great stir and move
ment among the Germans before
the American lines around Cha
-Thierry. Part of the drive
may be directed against this front
in a renewal of the thrust at Paris
through the Compiegne gateway.
If so, an army corps of American
troops stands shoulder to shoulder
with the French again to block
the road.
Secretary Baker disclosed to-
day that organization of the first
army corps, under Major General
Hunter Liggett probably had been
completed, although he made an
nouncement.
Il suspect the secretary said,
in reply to a question, that sew
eraf of our divisions are operating
together as an army corps under
command of General Liggett.
Whether another army corps has
been created and tentative com
mander chosen, have not heard.
1t was learned also that the first
second and third divisions, (reg-
ular) commanded respectively by
Majors Robert l.. Bullard, Omar
Bundy and Joseph 7, Dickman,
and included in the. firstcorps and
all are either at Chateau-Thierry
OF at Cantigny. The corps organ
ization plan, however, calls for SIX
divisions, four combatant and two
replacement, and with the neces-
sary artillery units ond other ad-
ditional troops, the total strength
of a corps would be nearly 220,-
600 men. Undoubtedly General
Liggetts has all the elements nee
essary for his corps if his organi-
zation is complete.
With those army corps in the
theatre where great events are
believed to be improving, the ex-
pected Germans thrust assumes
new significance here. The opln-
ion is general among the officers
that the blow now in preparation
is to be the heaviest yet struck.
Unless they mistake the signs, the
Germans are getting ready for the
crucial moment in their great eff
fort to wrench victory by force
before full American fighting
power can be brought to bear a
gainst them.
The belief of General March,
chief of staff, that the allied
situation is extremely favor
able" as expressed in carefully
weighed statement Saturday, is
believed to be shared by allied
leaders. The speed with which the
American troops have been rush
ed to France probably has added
to the confidence that the new
thrust will fail as have the last

Red Cross ToHe1p
Flu Infected Districts

Cities and towns needing nurses
and hospitals supplies to care
for influenza cases among civil
ians must make their needs
known through their local health
officer and local Red Cross Chap
ter and not apply direct to Red
Cross division headquarters.
The same procedure holds
good for military schools estab-
lished in colleges which may be
stricken with the epidemic.
This statement was issued at
Lake Division headquarters this
afternoon as a result of the con-
fusion arising among civilian
population and student soldiers
needing nursing care and sup
plies.
If local Red Cross resources
and public health resources are
not adequate, local health officers
can get help from Division he'd
Cross headquarters it their state
boards of health request it.
All chapters have been pro
vided with full instructions as
to procedure, relationship with
local boards of health and with
the division headquarters. Mean
while the Lake Division is still
sending nurses and hospital
supplies direct to military camps
almost as quickly as requisl
tions are received. New requisi-
tions are on hand from Camp
Taylor, Sherman and Buell..
All graduates and practical
nurses are again urged to com.
municate with their nearest Red
Gross chapter for assignment.
Chapters have received full
instructions how to carry out a
survey of their local nursing re-
sources and all nurses are re-
peatedly being urged not to go
out on any influenza assignments
without some authorization from
the Red Cross. This is to enable
the Red Cross to keep a constant
inventory of the number and
kind of nurses available. With
out this Inventory, according TO
the statement from division head
quarters, confusion will result.
Today's instructions to Reg
Cross chapters from James L.
Fieser, chairman of the division
Com mittee on Influenza, suggest
that local chapters organize
groups of lay women to augment
the professional nursing forces if
necessary. The instructions,
however, point out that the or
ganization of such women should
include only those who are,
through some previous training
or experience, qualified for mem
bership in this important auxili-
airy force.
