WILL JENKINS HOME
after nine MONTHS
IN FRIENDS SERVICE

Will Jenkins, 321 College avenue,
spending about nine months in recon-
spending about nine months in recon-
struction work with the Friends Unit
in France.
Mr.. Jenkins arrived in France in
September, 1917, and was with the d.
vision of the unit which was sent into
the war zone within a few miles Of
the front line trenches
The unit is divided into three divis-
ions, he said, one of which takes
charge of actual reconstruction work
within a few miles of the trenches; it
was this division that Mr.. Jenkins
was with. The other two divisions
take charge Of construction work and
build houses and barracks to care for
those who have lost their homes.
Il found the characteristics of the
French people different from our
own" Mr.. Jenkins said. They al
ways want to come back to their own
homes. Even if these homes are de-
stroyed they want to remain there on
the barren land. and our work has
consisted of building homes for them"
AT one time Mr.. Jenkins and sever
al other members of the unit visited
the old trenches occupied by the Ger
mans and allies in 1916. He said the
German trenches were constructed in
tended them to be permanent.
Mr.. Jenkins will not return to the
reconstruction work in France.

LONDON, July 20-What the Ger
mans are going to do on the battle
front from Rheims to the Marine to
the Aisne is the question which oc-
cupies most OF the military and edi-
toriaI commentators in the morning
newspapers.
While it is conceded that General
Foch's brilliant counter stroke has
deprived the Germans Of the initia-
tive in the Rheims sector and caused
them serious damage, it Is not univer-
sally assumed that the positions in
that area can be Stabilized without
much further fighting. Warning IS
given to remember how the British
surprise advance at Cambria was at
forwards countered by the Germans
On the other hand the view that
the enemy cannot do much more be-
tween the Aisne and the Marine has
it's representatives and these look
forth to withdrawal of the Germans
from south of the Marine to reorgan-
ize their line. A third speculation re-
fers to the probability Of the enemy
striking fresh violent blow in some
other direction in which case 1t Is as
sumed generally the attack will fall
on the British armies.
1t is recognized everywhere that the
Germans have the power to concen-
trate strength for a thrust that will
tax the allied defense to the utmost.
Notwithstanding their losses, the Ger
mans are believed to have at their
disposal at least forty divisions and
unless or until these are beaten the
situation of the allies must, it is con-

TWO CHOICES OPEN.

TWO CHOICES OPEN.
WASHINGTON, July 2o.-Two
choices. in the opinion Of military OBJ
servers here today, are open to the
German high command as the result
of the Franco-American counter stroke
between the Aisne and the Marine and
decision must be made within 36
hours. Either the advance Of the al
lied troops must be halted, 1t was said,
or the Germans must evacuate the sal
lent they hold south of the Marine. and
possibly the entire territory occupied
at the time OF the offensive on the
Chemin Des Danes front last May.
The Germans, it was believed must
stop the counter stroke before Sun
day night or fall back.
All reports indicate that despite
strengthening resistance due no doubt
to fresh reserves being thrown into
the battle. the French and American
forces are making steady progress.
The war department had received no
confirmation of the reported capture
of Scissors. but there was a distinct
feeling that the city was in allied
hands AS early as Thursday night,
French troops were reported to be
within a mile of the city and Secretary
Baker in q statement issued yester-
day, said: 1.-The fall of Scissors
seemed to be indicated by the pro-
gress made at the time of the latest
official dispatches"

American Soldiers
 Studying German

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE, Oct. H. Many Ameri- can soldiers in France have taken up the study of the German language. Some say they are eager to talk to the German prisoners, and others ex- plain that they desire to be prepared 'o speak German when they reach Der lin. Nearly every American company has one or more individuals who can speak German, more or less, and the boys study German during spare mo ments. After two or three months in France many American soldiers are able to speak some French.

ALLIES MAY CROWD HUNS
 ALL WINTER

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN FRANCE. Sept. 20 Correspond ence of the Associated Press).-Mar- shal Foch is the only man who knows just what move he Is planning for to- morrow or next week or next month, but there Is growing in the fighting armies n feeling that the German is not going to be permitted to rest this winter
 Fight in good weather and dig in for the bad has become almost an accepted principle in this war. Men trained in the theory of war prior to 1914 and in it's practice since have agreed every year to the uselessness of attempting to drive the enemy from its trenches once the rain and sleet and snow set in. but there are indica' tions that the initiative taken by the allies in July will be retained regard less of bad weather.
 If Marshal Foch calls upon his ar my groups to continue jumping at the Germans they will and they will do it as they did in the early part of the war for in addition to the rein forcement that America has provided, there is spirit revived. The French are fighting with a confidence restored and the British are going in with greater enthusiasm than had been ap- parent for many months They are not merely Carrying on" They are slashing away like one does when he knows there is another one right by his side hitting just as har'.
 The Germans are not cNhaust@'. They are not so badly fed.

is the realization by the people of Germany of the hopelessness of keep ing up the fight against a foe who obviously is growing stronger instead of weaker.
 German newspapers. official and semi-official documents and private letters that occasionally come to the hands of the allied troops no longer contain sneers regarding the Ameri- can assistance. It is recognized that the American army cannot be disposed of so easily.

HOLLAND TO
 ADD 523,44O
 ACRES0FS0Il

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11-Under- $S9 .244. 900 and will add 523.44O acres of tillable soil to the area of Holland, and which will require thirty-three years for completion the Dutch gov ernment has begun preliminary work of draining the Zuider Zee A com mission has been named to take the necessary steps for the commence ment Of construction work, under au. thorization of an act passed by both houses of the Dutch legislature, which received the royal signature June IA, 1918. according to report from Com mercial Attache Paul l.. Edwards at The Hague.
 The work of turning the bottom Of the Builder Zee into fields and gar dcns is divided into two distinct phases. First the building of a great eightcen-milc dikC from the island of Wieringcn to q point near the town of Priam. on the coast of the prov. ince of Fricsland and secoHd. the construction of four dik2s within the seI and the draining and rcclaiming the land in back of these barriers.
 Tine average depth of water which the great dike will encounter is about l2.3 feet below mean average sea level The height of the dike itself above sea level will run from 18.9 feet to l7.G feet.
 The body of the main dike will con- sist of sand on a body of brush and stone, with surface covering of clay, be faced with a basalt riprap. A i double-track railroad will run along the diko on the inside. This clay for the surface will be dredged from the bottom of the Zuider Zee and also will : be transported from the island of Wieringcn as waste material Of q canal that will be under construction there The total volume of the dike is estimated to be about 39,2SS.O00 cubic yards. The estimated cost of the dike proper is about $ll ,256. 900.
 Although the completion of the en' tire project will require thirty.three years. 53.6O0 acres, comprising the first section of reclaimed land, will be available for cultivation within
 fifteen years. Experts assure the Hollanders that the soil will be fer tile. as, after the great ditchcs cut of the sea. the Builder Zee will gradu- ally turn fresh, owing to the continual cmptying into it o; freSh.water streams.
 Several important fishing villages, such as Nollendam and Marken. will
 be no longer touched by water. so the government has promised that s1eCi1l laws shall be passed providing for adequate indemnificatioN of the 1 fishermen and providing funds for the removal and re-establishmen of their industry on the North se1.
 The government expects to receive ! about $l3 per acre per year as rental for the reclaimed soil.
