Why Foch Attacked
Amiens Salient

"The day" Colonel Azan foresaw came
when Ludendorff's defeat between the
Marine and the Asne had consumed a
large portion of his remaining reserves,
depressed the spirits of his army and gen
orally changed the whole strategic situa-
ton. America had provided Foch with
number of divisions of reserves imme-
diately available and an almost unlimited
number bound to become available at
regular intervals. He had spent his
troops with great economy; Ludendorff
had used his with extreme prodigality.
1t was now within Foch's power to exploit
the weaknesses of his foes positions,
those positions taken not with any idea
of permanent occupation, but, as l have

Worst Defeat
Of the War

AS close this article on Monday,
August II, the problem set for Luden-
dorff is clear. Temporarily the German
resistance has stiffened the German de-
fence of the high ground between Las
slgny and Noyon, and north of the Somme
aeout Bapaume and has enabled the
enemy to rally on the old front of july
l, 1916, but there are unmistakable sipns
that this rally is but temporary. com
parable with the stand above the Ourco
IN the Marine retreat. The real question
IS now whether Ludendorff can stand on
the line of the upper Somme or must
go back to the old Hindenburg line, from
which he started in March This is en-
tlreiy like the other problem of the Aisne
or the Vesle line in the Marine operation.
If Ludendorf has to go back to the Hin
denourg line then there will be q gen
eral retirement from Rheims to Arras:
the Germans will nave to quit the Vesle
Tor the Aisne, evacuate much ground be-
tween the Aisne and the Disc and SUP
render the old battlefield of the Somrne.
They have already been thrust back into
the desert created by them in their re-
treat of 1917 and have lost all real
profit gained by their spring and sum-
mer campaign.
In sum, we have seen one of the gr
victories Of the Western front. even II
there be no considerable further retreat
of the Germans They have suffered
their worst defeat of the war, not a de-
feat like the First or the Second Marine
tboth Of these were defeats in battles
of arrest, by which their own purpose
was baked and they were compelled to
readjust their lines), but defeat ana q
paralyzing defeat, following an Allied
offensive. Their whole campaign is now
in the discard; what remains to be es-
tablished is the extent of their retreat.
Nor is it likely that even a temporary
halt at the Somme or even at the Hin
denburg line will mark the end for the
campaign of their withdrawal Rather
it is within reason now to hope that they
may be pushed to the French frontier be-
fore snow flies. For Foch is only begin
ming and his American reserves are ac-
cumulating in great numbers zach week.

Improved methods Of packing sintro-
duced recently by the Quarefmaster
Corps have resulted in saving OF about
twenty per cent in shipping weight and
fifty per cent in shipping space. When
ever il is possible. packing cases are
omitted and baling is substituted. Power
presses have been installed TO compress
the bales into the smallest possible
space. Every inch saved is reckoned to
be worth sixty-five cents. Army con-
tractors are encouraged TO furnish can
ned goods only in square containers.
Round cans waste twenty-three per cent
of space. Most OF the bales are made to
weigh less than seventy pounds, be-
cause in France, where great many Of
the stevedores are women, the law makes
seventy pounds the limit of weight that
women may be asked to handle.

The Red Cross Ready for Peace

THE following message has been teegraphed by the
War Council of the American Red Cross to each one
of the 1857 chapters:
fore the United States declared war; National Red Gross
Headquarters advised its chapters to prepare Tor war
That which followed in the record of the Red Cross
in helping to win this and to relieve the suffering
growing out of it, constitutes something OF which every
American citizen has right to be proud Every Ameri-
Red Gross worker must feel sense OF gratltude III
having had share in it all.
"The moment is now come to prepare for peace.
Until is really here and our soldiers nome mere
can be relaxation In any Red Cross effort incident to
active)hostilities
"But even with peace let no one suppose that the
work Of the Red Cross is finished Millions OF American
boys still under Thousands OF them are sick
and wounded. Owing to the shortage in shipping it may
take year to bring our boys home from France
But whatever the time protecting arms must be about
them and their families the whole period which
must elapse before the normal life of peace be
sumed
"Our soldiers and sailors are enlisted until the Com
manderin Chief tells them there Is work for
them do in the Let Red Cross member and
worker-and this means both men and women-show
our returning soldiers and sailors that to for their
health welfare and happiness are enlisted for no less
period than they
such as the world has before especially in
the many countries which cannot help themselves. The
American people will expect the Red Cross to continue
to act as their agent in repairing broken spirits and
broken bodies Peace terms and peace conditions will
determine how may best minister to the vast stricken
areas which have been narrowed by war; and for this
great of mercy the heart and spirit of the American
people must continue to be modified through the Amer
lean Red Cross.
"On behalf of the War Council, accordingly ask
each member of splendid body of workers through
out the land bear in mind the solemn obligation which
rests upon each to carry on. We cannot abae
instant in efforts in spirits There will be
abundance of work to do, and specific advces will be
given but at the moment of let Red Cross

"our spirits must now call US to show that not the
roar of cannon the blood of alone directs
activities but that great people will continue to respond
greatly and freely to its obligations and opportunity to
serve"

BOYS AWAIT BULLETIN
FOR NEWS FROM HOME

American soldiers in camps and hos
pitfalls in Great Britain are now able to
keep in touch with affairs at home
through the medium of daily bulletin
service which has been established by
the American Red Cross.
Army officers say the service fills a
long-felt want providing the men with
sporting and home news they cannot
find in the English newspapers.
The arrival Of the bulletin Is now
one Of the big daily events. In this
connection a Red Cross worker In
England sends the following message
to National Headquarters In Wash
ington:
after talking with the boys about
the daily news service have been
told to notify you that If the bulletin
is discontinued you viii be court-mar-
tailed and shot"

LABOR PROBLEMS WISELY HANDLED
BY THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
Epoye and Employer Brought Together in Common Purpose
Win the War; Necessities of Great Armies Overseas
Is Prime Consideration of President
Wilson's Policy.

The labor policy of President Will
son and his cabinet officers has been
one Of fair treatment to all, and has
been a war policy as we'll Decisions
have been made, steps have been
taken, far reaching changes have been
effected, all under the determinant of
war.
The tendencies and the achieve
ments of the administrations labor
policy must be understood in this light.
The war must ever be kept in mind.
In arriving at judgments on issues of
significance to the workers of the
country the President has obviously
always had in view the necessities of
the great armies overseas. In ap-
praising things which have happened
and which are impending, it is there
fore needful to utilize this same cri-
terion.
The labor policy of President Will
son represents the interests of the en-
tire nation. Perhaps at no other
period in the history of the country
has that been true. At the present
of the administration are bigger than
any faction. party, or class. They
were born out of the interests Of no
particular group. They have in every
case sprung from n deliberate and
open-minded judgment concerning the
true necessities of nation engaged
in a struggle for its very life. Prin-
ciples which seem TO promise the
greatest aid in enabling the American
people to use their full energies
against the German foe have been
accepted. The unstinted strength, the
unleashed powers Of the manhood and
the womhnhood Of the United States
have been the goals sought in basic
readjustments.
Equal Enforcement Of Law.
The department Of labor is itself a
development Of the two Wilson ad-
ministrations. The great growth and
ripening Of the social conscience of
the nation during the last six years
have also been in no small way ad-
vanced by the policies which are asso-
ciated with the department Of labor.
Without break the administration has
stood for an equal enforcement of the
existing laws. The great Colorado
strike of 1914 first called on the exer-
else of the Presidents powers. Fed
eral troops were sent TO the Colorado
coal field Mt the Presidents direction.
They there maintained the peace with
satisfaction TO both belligerent
groups. There was no criticism of
the Presidents policy in that troubled
field.
