NEW YORK HOTELS CUT
RATES FOR OFFICERS.

More than sixty Of New York's
largest hotels have agreed to house
officers Of the Army and Navy at re-
duced rates. When it was reported
to the War Camp Community Service
that officers on leave in the city were
having difficulty in obtaining accom-
modations at reasonable rates the or
ganization began ten-day canvass,
with the result that the hotels now In
line will give a fifty per cent. reduc-
ton ON one per cent. Of their room ca
pacity from Monday to Friday, inclu-
sive, and on Saturday and Sunday will
allow the same reduction on two per
cent. of the capacity. This arrange
ment provides two hundred and fifty
rooms for the five days and five hun
dred for Saturdays and Sundays.
In addition to this the New York
War Camp Community Service has
more than two thousand beds availa-
BILE for enlisted men, the usual rates
being twenty-five cents for bed and
bath, with an added charge Of from
ten to thirty cents for breakfast

MADE SONG BOAST GOOD
Man in Khaki Put the Mar
seiIIaise Into His Hearers
Hearts.

In the town of Deming. N. NJ, there
is Soldiers Community Club, con-
Quoted by the War Camp Community
Service. Like every other club for
the enlisted men in towns near q camp
this one is used to unusual demands
upon its hospitality, but, like the 9th
ers also, it is never faxed by any de-
mand. This time IL was eight o'clock
in the morning, and the calling squad
contained dozen or more men in uni
form.
eve want to hear feller sing"
explained the leader as the others
crowded in. The organizer explained
hastily that they had lot of good
singers who had been up late the
night before entertaining a lot of SOL
diers, etc.
''It's all right, boss. You don't get
us yet. We don't need any singer
cause we've got him with us right
here. That's the guy there" The
speaker pointed to a husky lad with
satisfied and confident grin Oh his
face. "Hes been boasting he's won
der with his voice and we want to see
him do it."
The men gathered in a circle around
the singer, who had been born in a
small town in France and was now a
naturalized American. The babble
ceased when he lifted his voice.
In rich, resonant powerful tones he
sang the words Of the French national
song, "La Marsellaise." His strong,
full notes seemed tc shake the very
rafters and to seek out every nook and
corner in the building. With head
erect and eyes aflame, his hands at
his sides, in true soldierly fashion, he
breathed forth the words Of life and
love and liberty for France.
Every man in the crowd stood at
attention and all eyes were on the
singer. His words seemed to carry
inspiration into the hearts of his hear
ers. When he reached the great cli-
max Of the final lines and his last note
died away, the men made unanimous
rush, pounded him on the back, and
shook him fervently by the hand.
"You're all right !" "We're for your
"Goodp "FineworE, old scout" was
the glst of their musical criticism.
Then they trooped out Of the building,
thanking the attendant for the per-
mission to "see him do It,"

had been the first to bang ON the front
door. They were off. Down the
street with heads erect and eyes glls-
tening with pride. The mon had been
detailed to do some special work in
Deming, and had stopped at the Sol
diers Community Club to hear their
comrade sing. They knew that War
Camp Community Service Is always
ready and willing to serve.

ONE FATHERS VIEWPOINT.

The value Of War Camp Community
Service Is well Illustrated by one or
ganlzer, who said recently:
"a business man has said TO me: 4
enlisted in the Navy during the Span
ish-Ameriean war / remember spend
ing my last quarter once to get ashore.
When got there the only places that
had welcome for me were the saloon
and bawdy house.
"'Now you Community Service peo-
pie have changed all that sort Of thing.
My boy Is in France. They are TAX
ing care OF him over there. I want
you to take care of these other boys
over here. ] am going to support you
no matter whether your canteen hurts
my business or not You are taking
care of the boys, and that is what am
interested ia.

TO REBUILD WOUNDED
Men AT TT. Smelling
War Camp Community Service
viii Play a Large Part in
the Work.

Since the announcement by the War
Department that Fort Smelling, in Min
nesota, was to be vacated by troops,
plans were made to turn the training
station into a reconstruction camp
where wounded soldiers whose homes
are in the Northwest will be cared for
and fitted for their return to civil life.
In the proposed change the War
Camp Community Service Is to play
large part, although the camp itself
will, of course, be in charge Of army
officers and conducted along strictly
military lines. The Community Or
ganizer has already been called upon
to assist in plans for the men. A
more ideal spot for reconstruction
work than Fort Smelling can hardly be
imagined. 1t is just the place for men
to recover from wounds and from shell
shock, a process that often takes
months 1t is probable that men who
have lost legs will be fitted with arti-
fetal limbs here as a part of the work.
All Of the men received at the fort
must be Of the "able to travel" class,
as the long journey from the Atlantic
coast would prohibit the treatment of
more serious cases there.
Nearly two battalions of United
States guards are now at the fort.
These men will remain on guard duty
after the establishment Of the recon-
struction work, it is believed, and the
War Camp Community Service Or
ganizer and assistants intend to stay
ON the ground and make ready in ev-
cry way possible for the new demands.

"JUST GOVERNOR WAS

r. A. Purdy, postmaster Of Mime
apolis, and his assistant, @. W. Kerr,
who are also volunteer workers for
the War Camp Community Service,
were working behind the desk in the
Army and Navy Club House on one
Wednesday evening recently. Automo-
blles were reporting rapidly to take
the men in uniform for ride. Mr..
Kerr began taking the names Of the
various citizens who were loading and
bringing back the soldiers and sailors.
While he was thanking them PERSONAL
ly for their hospitality one gentleman
called out to him after unloading his
car:
"Give me another jolly bunch"
"Your name, please" said Mr.. Kerr.
"Oh, just Governort-Governor Burn

lighted to work in the clubs lunch

WAR CAMP coMMUNITY work.

The War Camp Community Service seems 10 have
justified itself abundantly No doubt some mistakes
have been made here and there but the enterprise
whole has been and is benefeent. It sends the
away with feeling that the country is solidy behind
them. Local cordially and the touch of personal,
human interest is of Importance.
The critics who think that the boys are being
"pampered" haven't much to go on. Certainly the
at the front show signs of being soft. One
fances that the Boehe finds them anything but efete,
pampered darlings. And the aspect of the average
youth in uniform vsby presented to the naked eye
does not suggest that he has been rendered mushy by
any little courteses and entertainment that may have
come his way.
The statement Of Corporal Guy Smith, one of
Pershng's men, is conclusive as to what the boys
themselves think OF it. Said he:
Until l came back to America and the
ders which War Camp Community Service had accom-
pshed in making right the attitude of the town for
the soldier and the mental attitude of the soldier
toward the town, never would have believed it pos
sible that SO much could have been done. In my
opinion there is nothing so directly affecting the
morale of the troops as the community work Of the
War and Navy Departments shown in their Community
Service and when go back the other side am
going to ask permission to tour the camps and tell the
men over there how America is behind them'
That seems to cover the case pretty conclusive

been widely discussed in the Ger
man press, which has variously
estimated it at not less than thirty
nor more than sixty divisions.
The enemy must be left to dis
cover its exact measure by the
weight of it's impact.
The Germans, on the other
hand, have thrown in, as I will ex-
plain later, the great mass of their
available strength for the purpose
of obtaining a decision as rapidly
as possible. But there remains be-
hind that mass certain propor-
ton of untouched human material
effective for the shock of battle,
which the German command can
still bring in, and with which they
hope to obtain their decision.
Which of the two almost equal
weights thus balanced in final
contest will tip the beam and
bring victory fate only knows.
But that it is still possible to con-
tinue the contest at all is due to
the heroic maintenance of the
British line to the north, after a
retreat of a severity unparalleled
even in this war.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-07

"HE great battle, which may
we'll be the decisive strug-
Il gle of the present war, is
still in the balance as I write and
is passing through the critical
stage. The issue depends upon
the power of the opposing an
tagonists to throw in reserves.
The action of the enemy in the
course of the last few days is based
on the imperative necessity to him
Of extremely rapid action in i'm
proving his position and trying to
enlarge his gains to the point of a
real victory before the Allied dis
position for a counter offensive
can be completed. His headlong
haste is proved by his use of infan-
try in great masses and at an i'm
mense expense of life, without
waiting for the bringing up of his
full strength of heavy artillery.
He has put all the weight of this
new attack on the junction be-
tween the British and the French
armies, which is also the sector
where he is nearest the main rail-
way between Amiens and Paris.
This sector has Montdidier on the
south and the Somme River on the
north. Here he is continuing, at
an unprecedented expense in the
lives Of men, his effort to break
through.

Great Battle Opened
On Fifty-Mile Front

The great battle, as my readers
will remember, was opened little
before dawn on Thursday, March
21. The Germans had concen-
trated for their assault upon the
right of the British line on a front
of fifty miles between the Scarpe
and the Oise a total force, includ-
ing reserves, of over seventy di-
visions, to be rapidly followed by
at least another thirty divisions.
That was considerably more than
half of their total forces upon the
Western front-nearly half of
their entire army's organization.
1t included vastly more than half
of all their artillery, and far more
than half of those effective, highly
trained and carefully chosen units,
with which a violent shock could
be delivered and which We're in
condition and had a morale per-
mitting them to sustain heavy
losses without disorganization.
The Germans object was to sep
arate the British from the French
armies, protecting themselves af-
ter this separation had been ac-
conplished against French at
tack from the south by the marshy
valley of the Disc, which lay on
the extreme left of their assault.
After they had produced this rupt-
ure they intended to roll up the
British line and to destroy it be-
fore any Allied concentration
against them could take place dur
ing the several days required for
such a concentration. Rapidity of
movement was the very essence of
success for them, for the price to
be paid in lives was very high in
deed. Therefore, all available
strength was employed.
