Six Weeks of UnbrolKen Victory.
By Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 10:-The allies are
now almost back to the lines they oc-
cupied before the German offensive
after six weeks of unbroken victory
and the war has entered a period, not
of calm but of precaution, with a
promise of just as wonderful things
to follow. The dry, and on the whole.
fine weather which helped Marshal
Foch to turn the tables on the Ger
mans so fast has now ended and
wet. stormy spell has set in.
The fighting yesterday centered
south of Cambria, south of st. Quen-
tin and to the heights north of Sois-
sons, three vital spots for the Ger
mans who resisted desperately, but
unsuccessfully. the allied forward
thrust.
The Germans heavy artillery is be-
coming active from Arras to Rheims,
indicating that General LudendorR
fears no further removal viii be
forced upon him. Military critics
here are guessing what Marshal Foch
will do next. Critics. credited with
having inside information are dis
playing much ingenuity and variety
in their descriptions on the coming
moves in the different parts OF the
front, but the belief is fixed and CON
fident throughout France that there
is little danger OF Gen. Ludendorff
being allowed to buttress himself
against the allied line. The Germans
are a little out of breath by the pace
Marshal Foch set for them. but they
are unlikely TO gain a respite during
the coming autumn and winter. II is
assured that Marshal Foch will not
let them go 20 the earth as was done
after the first battle OF the Marne.

CLEANING UP sAMM|E
NO SMALL TASK
Field Laundry, Now Ready fOr
Business, Is An Important
Part OF Army In
France
BY J. W. PEGLER
UNITED Press Staff Corespondent)

With the American Expeditionary
Army, France, Dec. 18-(By Mail)-
Uncle Sam is moving in his wash-tubs
to wash the undcrshirts and things
that come back from the trenches.
Wash tubs are the main thing In
the big salvage base which is just be-
ing finished in q city far back from
the lines. There are also shoe repair
machines and machines for darning
socks and patching breeches.
The QuarteImaster took broad
look at the future in planning this
base. He visualized hundreds Of
thousands of Sammies in the mud and
filth of the trcnches-battalions COM
ing out every day wearing the same
clothes, down to the last stitch, that
they wore when they marched in. He
saw that these outcoming battalions
would need hot baths and clean
clothes as much as rest and recreation
They're going to get 'em-baths
and clothes.
Back in the cities, Salvage" de-
notes a careening red fire wagon piled
high with water proof blankets, with
helmeted salvage corps firemen cling
ing to the hand rails.
Over here it's something else again.
Salvage means repair, reclamation,
saving.
There will be bath-stations just
back of the front and each emerging
battalion will have its "bath parade"
on coming out. AS they enter the
building the Sammies will discard
their duds-jackets, breeches, shoes,
sox, shirts and underwear. They will
70 through the baths and come out in
another room to find clean, dry clothes
and sound shoes waiting for them.
Meantime the salvage folk will
have gathered up the discarded
clothing. First off, every garment
gill go through the "de-lOusing" wag-
on, where steam baths will kill EN-.
Next the garments are piled into
freight cars which come up to the
line with supplies and otherwise
might 90 back empty. At the base
the Uncle Sam laundry thoroughly
launders every garment and sends
them on to other departments in the
same plant for inspection and repair.
If garment has been repaired sew
eral times before, most Likely it VIII
20 into the discard. Otherwise it will
be patched and sent forward for the
next man who comes out, wet, muddy
and craving TO be clean again.

PATRIOTIC FIRES ARE
BURNING IN KANSAS

The war conference Of the State
Council Of Defense, at Topeka, last
week, kindled afresh the patriotic
fires Of Kansas. II brought TO the
several hundred men and women who
attended a realizing sense Of the size
of the job this nation now has on
hand, and Of the duties and obliga-
tions that must be met If victory
comes TO the United States and its
allies. Today 1t can be said that the
fire are burning in Kansas rs never
before. Whatever the task is imposed
il will not be counted too great or too
difficult, II only 1t is to help in some
way the achievement Of the one great
aim, which is to crush Pnlssiar au-
tocracy and win the war for deanOc-
racy.
At no time in the history Of Kansas
has there been such another war coun-
Gil. At no period Of the states ex-
istance has there been a cause 50
great, so urgent, as this one which is
demanding that every man, woman
and child in the state-as well Us in
the nation-shall do everything that
is within his power to do in the name
and for the cause of their country.
Most notable among the score OF
more of great addresses on the war
situation and its many phases, were
those of Sir Frederick Smith, Attorn-
ey General of Great Britain, and DR..
George Vincent, head Of the Rookie
feller Foundation. Through these ad-
dresses the people of Kansas were
brought face to face with the gravity
of the situation in Europe and Of the
work that must be done and done
quickly and efficiently if the allies
are to win.
The work of the various war activ-
tiles in Kansas was ably presented BY
Governor Arthur Capper, II. j. Wat
ers and other speakers. In every case
there was a generous approval oil
what had been done, as well as the
plans for what is yet to be done. The
only criticism uttered, if anything,
was in the nature of suggestion for
coordinating the work wherever pos
sible and for speeding up"
The suggestions not only were ap-
plicable to the food conservation un-
der Walter P. Innis, state administra-
tor; the fuel conservation work oil
Emerson Carey, state administrator,
but they were applicable to every 9th
er activity having to do with war, in
cluding the War Savings and Thrift,
campaign and the teaching Of patriot
ism and thrift in the public schools,
That it is the duty of all of the poo
pie of Kansas to subordinate every
thing to the doing of those things
which best will help to prosecute tn
war was pointed out by P. W. Goebel,
State Director for the War Savings
Committee, in his mastery address.
1t was clearly shown as necessary for
the preservation of the future heri-
tage of the people, that every man,
woman and child shall become a saver
instead of spender and that they
lend their savings to the government
to help win the war.
The war conference has awakened
the leaders of Kansas and through
them the people of the state-those
not already awakened will be aroused
to the extent of doing their full share
in the great scheme of war work, and
Kansas will "go over the top" in ev-
cry great war undertaking.
