reputation in dairying circles.
Professor j. H. Sheppard. head of

dairy stock of the northwest will not
suffer by going into the hands Of the
women and the young ladies of the
farm since Uncle Sam has called for
big men to help aim. He said women
sort of wormed their way into the
dairy business and that many Of them
had learned most of the ropes Of the
big industry which is coming into its
own in North Dakota. Professor
Sheppard said the nation would be
surprised to learn the number Of
women that are going to farm this
spring and that they. will be as faith
full to their work as the men.

GEN. FOCH HOLDS
GERMAN ADVANCE And
PLAYS HIS OWN CANE
Refuses to Hurl Reserves
Into Fight Until Proper
Time Arrives
By J. w. 7. Mason
Omitted Press War Expert)

Nbhlteu IIeSS war EApefIJ
New York, May 31.-General Foeh is
holding the German advance on both
flanks, while Won Hindenburg contin-
ues to move forward slowly in the cen.
ter. There is thus being created dan
garous salient that will compel the Ger
mans to protect their newly heightened
lines by an unusually large number Of
troops, which they can i'll afford.
Re-establishment of the French front
protecting Rheims and the continued
holding of the outlets from Soissons by
French units are the most important
developments of the past "a hours. The
Germans must secure full possession of
Soissons, and especially Rheims, with
their immediate environs, if Won Hin
denburg is to find any reasonable de-
gree of security for his new lines. As
long as General Foch can hold his pre-
sent positions on these wings, the Ger
mans must rest very uneasily.
Won Hindenburg' advance northwest
of scissors is not in immediate rela-
tionship with the Marne offensive. 1t
is new local drive along a front Of
not more than five miles and is %
miles north of the German wedge NOV
ing toward the Marne. A German sue
cess northwest of Scissors, beyond Bier
aneourt and Epagny, would carry Won
Hindenburg in the direction Of Com
piegne.
At Compiegne the Aisne flows into
the Disc river, which later runs south
ward to the Seine and to Paris. If Won
Hindenburg can reach Compiegne he
will be in favorable position to Sc
cure possession of the Aisne west Of
Soissons for new defensive line. This
is probably the Ultimate strategic pur-
pose of the Epagny movement.
The situation now facing General
Foch in its essential strategy, is the
same as that which he met during the
Picardy- Flanders offensive. He can stop
the German advance any time he de-
sires, by throwing in the major part
of his reserves and the American troops
now in France. But, to do this, would be
to play Won Hindenburg's game. 1t
would mean accepting an offensive bat
tie on Won Hindenburg' terms. This
is what General Foch is trying TO avoid.
The loss of ground is unimportant, com
pared with avoiding submission to Won
Hindenburg's own plans of campaign.
In this respect, which is the most i'm
portant from the standpoint of democ-
raey s ultimate victory, events are pro-
crossing satisfactorily
