You're not going to be a Stacker all

you're right. Maybe you ought to he

Liberty Bonds, and the different funds,
paying the constantly increasing family

After all. It's like this. The rules Of

It takes more than an army 20 make

that you can serve wherever YOU are.

ed with Germany's supreme offensive
effort, expected TO be launched between
Rheims and Nerdun, according 10 in
formation reaching military circles
here There are furthermore, indica-
tiOns that the German high command,
for more reasons than one. will make
particular efforts TO strike hard at the
American forces during the coming
drive.
The news last nlght'tha the British
have advanced their line about a mile
on front Of three and half miles and
that the French i'm a separate move
ment advanced a mile and a quarter on
front OF four and a half miles south
west Of scissors may mean, according
to military men that General Foch al,
ready is taking advantage Of Germany 5
plan to deplete these sectors in order
10 mass troops along the Rheims Yer
dun sector
Whether this will interfere with the
Germans plans remains to be seen. III
the theory OF the military men is cor
rect Il win be the first time General
Foch has attempted to forestal a Ger
man drive OF the present series by send
ing the Allied forces forward on an Of
fensive thrust Military experts here
are almost certain that it was caused by
the removal OF German troops.
The location Of the probable points
Of attack and the scope Of the next on
slaught are said to be based on aviators'
reports concerning massing Of German
troops and on other information OF
confidential military character.
The sectors which would be brought
under direct attack would include those
which American troops have held for
and would bring Americans into
.he centre Of the German effort to
surge forward.
10 is known here that the German
high command regards II now as very
important TO chronicle a success Of ma
jor character against American troops.
Much OF the political unrest in Ger
many is due to the fact that the U-boats
have failed to prevent large forces OF
from reaching Europe
The German people are beginning to
realize, it Is explained that the increas--

ls becoming more and more bar to ul-
innate victory. There is therefore
general demand in Germany for some
move to offset this prospective danger
and Ludendorff is said to realize that
the only possible means Of coping with
the american menace" is on the bat
tleheld
Military experts here 'explain that 1t
will not be possible for the German
high command to overwhelm American
units by massing greatly superior
forces against them. General Foch, as
supreme commander Of the Allied and
American troops will be in a position
It is pointed out, to oppose any such
massing Of troops by concentrations OF
man power OF his own.
The one man command on the Allied
and American side can now decide upon
these matters Of man power distribu-
ton as rapidly as the one man COM
