Grave concern has been felt over the

Interference in 1reland's affairs by

the situation is somewhat different

innate relations existing between the
United States and Great Britain as
they stand associated in war against

The fact that the British premier
said that there were now more Irish

FRENCH WAR FASHIONS
Partisan Handkcrchicfs Have Patriotic
Notices on Them.

Paris, May Fashion and patriot
ism have since all time gone hand in
hand in France. During the French
revolution the fair citizenesses were
wont to express their love of liberty
and hatred of tyrants by devices in
scribed on their powder-boxes. fans
and table-se vice. Today history il
repeating itself. The up-to-d date
"Parisienne." whose love for her coun-
try is only equaled by her devotion to
'Ia mode.' has turned her handker-
chief into an oriflame of civic virtue.
When she produces it to wave good
bye to her departing "poilu" to
wipe her eyes during the pathetic
scenes of the movie" drama, it is not
uncommon to see notices embroidered
on. her pocket linen. such as the fol-
lowing: "Vive Joffre!" "Jusqu'au
bout!" (yTo the end!"), IT shall only
smile beyond the Rhine," or the ia
n1iliar injunction "Taisez-vous. mefiez-
vous!" ("Don't chatter. be cautious.').
This last device has even been seen on
certain hat ribbons.

BY HENRY WOOD.

With the French armies in-the field,
April (by mail) Hardly had the
Germans begun their offensive at s
o'clock the morning of March 81. when
telephone message from French
general headquarters was sent out and
instanraneously repeated along the
whole French front.
AS If by magic there appeared al
most Immediately thereafter at every
cross roads, behind the French front
and along every route of travel, huge
green placards bearing simply a big
black arrow.
The green placard meant that the
Germans had chosen for their Held Of
offensive the sector of ST. Quentin.
The black arrows marked every loot
of the way that the French reserves
must follow to arrive in the quickest
possible time at the point of con-
tact.
Had the Germans chosen any other
sector for their attack, this mechanism
would have worked just the same. A
different colored placard would have
indicated the sector where the Ger
mans had opened battle.
AS a result of this minute prepare
ton every man destined long in ad-
vance to meet the Germans at what
ever point they might choose for their
offensive was able to arrive there in
the shortest possible time. by the
quickest way.
Details All Worked Out.
The war long ago demonstrated that
victory in modern battle depends
largely on transportation. This time
the French general staff knew four
months in advance that the Germans
planned to attack and the problem or
transporta ton was solved in advance.
The distribution of placards and ar
rows was only one detail in the four
months which the general staff had
in which to prepare its transporta-
ton facilities. 1t worked out to the
last minute the exact time in which
every unit every gun, every pound or
munitions and supplies could reach,
by horse automobile or train. any
oint at which the Germans might at
tack When the moment came it was
only necessary to touch a button, as
it were, and the general staff knew
