France to go further out to sea and
longer distance, making the turn
around longer and slowing up the
movement and making it more danger
Gus; second. Paris, which, of course, is
great strategic objective because of
it's Importance, sentimentally and prac-
tically, to the people of France.
"All Of these drives have been
stoppcd. The last advance. the ad
the daily pressy is more to straighten
out the German inc than it is an ad-
vance considered as military move
ment with q definite and important OBJ
jective--like Paris, for instance
"Taking the general location of the
advance along the Disc, you will see
that between the Picardy and Marne
advance we have been holding a re-
entrant angle, which furnishes the dis
tance from which dangerous attack
could be made on the flank of the
Marine advance, and the most desirable
thing which GERMANY could have at this
stage would be Strengthening out of
the line.
Activities Of Germans
Now Are Toward Paris
"That is apparently what she had in
mind in beginning her advance on Juno
Q. She succeeded in that, moving for
the last information which we have in
dicatos that west of scissors she still
is attacking. with the idea of finally
strengthening out her line along the
general front which | have indicated to
you.
"The activities of the Germans are
now toward Paris, but rs for the i'm
portance of the objective from mill
tary standpoint the capture of the
Channel ports would have a more i'm
mediate effect upon the prosecution Of
the war than movement on Paris"
General March said the reasons for
the last drive were defensive. The
bulge in the Allied line there afforded
an opportunity for counter attack. But
there also was an important offensive
reason why Hindenburg would want to
carry his latest drive further forward.
If the line were Strengthened there the
Amiens triangle and the Marine tri-
angle would both be thrown into one
deep indentation into the Allied line
The base of the original German wedge
would be widened. Thus it would be
possible to carry forward this big
wedge. Carrying it forward both
would bring the German army nearer
Paris and narrow the field Of manGuvre
of the British army guarding the Chan
mel ports. BY an advance to the south
the Arras pivot would be threatened
and once that gave Hindenburg would
get room to act against Flanders again.
1t is when the operation is viewed
in this way that it is possible for Gen
eral March to speak of the four Ger
man efforts as parts of one major ef-
fort

would waste all their ammunition

would contain no workman except

Livingstone Farrand, director Of the
American commission for the proven

That the people Of America throw
themselves into the winning Of the

themselves against the Hun is the bur-

France. ss1 Al

slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.

Indications Of the prevalence Of the
disease. @s . 4 ..@r a, .s.s

AMERICA WILL DO HER DUTY.

And now the slogan is: FOOD will
win peace" the right kind of peace,
for the starving millions of Europe.
Unless they can secure food during
the coming hard months of winter,
the horrors Of the long war will pale
before the miseries and chaos and
anarchy and the harvest of famine
and sickness to follow upon the sill
ence of the guns.
1t was the high privilege and good
fortune of Uncle Sam to deliver the
decisive punch that stretched Prus-
sian militarism fiat on the ground.
1t is the duty of America to feed
the world during the period of dis
order and commissions and general
want that will precede final read

America did not fail as savior of
the liberty Of the world, neither will
she fail as the good Samaritan to

AN EXPENSIVE JOB.

The reconstruction Of France will
cost $8,000,000,000, and it will take
one hundred years to finish the job
This is not a wild guess; it is the
sober statement of a French engi-
neer, Louis Chevilion, who, as mem
Der of a French commission, went
over the ruined sections of France
to prepare data for the work of re.
construction.
There are two million dead, says MIR,
Chevillion, and it is unlikely that
more than 40 per cent of those who
lived in the ruined sections will go
back. All who were not captured by
the Germans have gone to other
parts of France, and many will stay
where they now are. During the war
about half million people who
were in the districts occupied blythe
Germans have found their, way back
to France by way of Switzerland,
and these people will also settle in
new districts. The average French.
man who will go back to his old
place is not anxious to live in tenn
porary abode. He would prefer to
( go in his old farm, dig a hole in the
ground and live in that fashion until
he can put up 9 permanent house.
The top soil in vast areas has been
ruined to q depth Of eighteen feet
by shells and is#utterly useless, &C.
cording to Mr.: Chevillion. The only
thing the, French can do. with it Sc
to plant trees and wait = hundred
years. Ii
