'SMILER" NOT THE LEAST OF THE
 WARS HEROES

Every dog lover, and his name is legion, will appreciate this story of 'Smiler, told by a special correspondent on the western battle front:
 There is one other story 1 must tell. It is the story of Smiler, a lurcher, and London stray It was related to me by corporal who, in happier days, was huntsman to a famous southern pack-a thorough doggy man.
 'Smiler was a wonderful dog, the pride of his unit, and renowned throughout the division No matter what the country or the conditions, Smiler could be relied upon to find home even if 1t were six or seven miles away One day the brigadier who set much store on Smiler, took him to the outpost line and sent him back to head quarters, a matter of three miles, with inn portant instructions to his staff. Smiler was longer than usual, for somewhere on the way a shell burst near him. He crawled into headquarters an hour later, his lower jaw shattered and hanging by the skin.
 'Of course he knew, sir, that he must get that message back before he died, said the corporal, and after what l have seen at the school for British war dogs believe him.
 "Smiler lies in a soldiers grave on the western front, but the last message carried blood-stained and honored relic, the proud proof of dogs devotion to duty proudly shown to those who visit the battalion of British war dogs.

The Tucson Citizen goes to bat for the Tucson r. M C. A., and in a most able editorial urges the citizens of that commun- ity to come forward to the support of this most important of American institutions of this day. The Citizen declares that the war has drawn heavily upon the personnel of the Y membership in the Old Pueblo city, and goes to say that, notwithstanding the activities and benefits wrought by the Y in the war zone, its foundations and vital strength lie at home. It seems that the chief difficulty with the Tucson Y is lack of funds as a result of losing so many mem bers who have gone to war. Thanks to the well known partiality of the Phelps Dodge corporation for all forms of Y work, and its generosity to back its feeling in the mat ter the Y. M C. A. in both Bisbee and Douglas are stronger and more effective than ever in spite of the war The good these institutions have done for their com- munities and for the men who comprise their membership cannot be estimated Their membership is maintained in spite of the war, for there Is scarcely man or boy in this camp who does not know of a certainty how much he and his friends have been helped in so many real ways by the big broad, sensible, practical Y work plan here

GERMAN OFFICIAL

BERLIN. via London, Aug. North of the Somme the Germans yesterday captured nearly 200 additional British prisoners, according to the German Of ficial communication issued today. British counter attacks south of the ye-Corbie road broke down before the German lines. There were violent artillery duels, followed by strong en- emy attacks southeast of Soissons. These attacks were repulsed.
 The text of the communication :Oi- lows:
 The number of prisoners captured by Us as result of yesterdays fight ing north of the Somme has increased to 2SS. British counter attacks south of the Braye-COrbie road broke down before our lines

cided to more than double the great effort it already was making tO bring fes whole man power to bear immsdi- ately. may be significant. General Foch's smashing blow which has flaG- tened out the Aisne-Marne salient ahi has thrown the whole German front from Rheims to the sea into jeopardy, was struck July 15 with American troops bearing their sull share.
 It appeared possible that the sue cess of that blow had influenced Amer ican officials. who continuously have pressed for a vigorous aggressive cam paign at the earliest possible moment and with attention concentrated on the western front to believe that enough could be done this year to prepare the way fer a smashing military triumph next year when the full American army becomes available. The period of time covered by estimates for equiD- ment and transportation O. troops under the enlarged army plan is un- deTsjood to carry it up 10 next spring.
 As the project is understood it Is contemplated to place an army Of sub stantially 3.000.00O American troops in France before the spring campaign opens. backed by 100000 more at home, moving forward as needed. h this connection. intimations that the British have made extraordinary ef- forts to concentrate troops on the western front in the last few months becomes increasingly significant. Coupled with the French and the American efforts. this gives promise O. such overwhelming forces in the battle next year that a comparatively short and bitter fight may see the issue decided and the German army driven beyond the Rhine if it is not destrovel in the field.
 In his mid-week conference with new spaper men later in the day. Gen eral March dealt with the battle situ- ation in general terms and referred to his appearance before the senate com miitce only Go deny a report that he bad fixed the military program of landing eighty-fCur American divisions in France by next May. He declared he made no such statement
