Separation of French and
British Armies Task
Daily Harder.
GERMANS AIM NOW
AT ALLIED FRICTION
Spread Tales of Foul Play
on Part of British
Command.

With the American Army in
France, May 3.-From an authori-
tative source | learn that the Ger
mans used on the Flanders fight
ing front thirty-hve fresh divisions
in addition to nine which were in
line when the battle began.
The whole position on the West
ern front is becoming more favor
able for the allies. If the enemy
continues his offensive without
gaining a strategic advantage, he
must impair his chances OF gaining
his main object, which is the sepa-
ration OF the French and British
armies.
Since April 25 the Germans have
advanced only TO a depth OF from
4 mile and half to two miles on
a seven-mile front. Their only i'm
portant success was the capture of
Mount KENNEL, their efforts to
outflank the other heights failing
completely.
Germans Invent ISLANDERS.
OF late the Germans have been en-
deavoring TO make up for the lack of
military success by propaganda to
create ill-feeling among the allies.
They have spread the story. for in
stance, that the Australians are placed
by the British commander in chief in
the most dangerous places. suffering
the greatest losses thereby. The truth
is that of thirty-one British divisions
each lost more lives than all Aus
tralian units combined
Similar stories are spread regarding
the transfer of English troops from
Amiens, exposing the French. and
about alleged British complaining that
the French lost KENNEL. All these
stories are denied officially as having
no foundation in fact whatsoever
The allied high command knew that
neither the French nor the British
were able to hold their ground un-
aided against the full brunt of the
German blow.
Mackensen for New Drivef
1t is rumored that Field Marshal
Won Mackensen is to lead a new drive
on the west front. In Germany It has
become a tradition TO suppose that
Mackensen appears in the psyche
logical moment to give the coup de
grace when the Germans are about
to suffer an overwhelming defeat. It
is possible that the Germans may
bring more fresh divisions from Rus
Sia to the west. but not 600. 900, as the
rumor has il. Such troops, moreover.
would be more likely to be used as
drafts than as front line divisions.

WOMEN IN WAR

SATURDAY, OCT. 5
Next Saturday VIII BE Observed BY
the Women of the Nation as Day
OF Tribute to Sisters
In Service.

Next Saturday, October S, has been
designated as a day upon which the
women of the country shall pay trib-
ute to their sisters who are in war
work by making an effort to stimulate
the Liberty Loan drive, as a memoir
ial to those workers.
The following letter has peen sent
out by Mrs. William G. McAdoo to
the chairmen of the Women's Liberty
Loan Committees.
My dear Madam Chairman:
The Secretary of the Treasury has
made the following announcement:
millions of women in the United
States are engaged in war work Sew
en- hundred thousand women serve as
active workers in the organization of
the National Womans Liberty Loan
Committee. Seventy thousand women
are employed on the railroads. Hun
dreds of thousands of women are la
boring in the munition factories 9th
er hundreds of thousands serve in
clerical work directly related to the
war. AS many more are engaged in
the Red Cross and other activities for
the amelioration of war conditions
The women of America are doing their
share in the twinning of the war, both
hV Dntnn1 hard nd h,.
mendous force of their moral infiu-
ence. 1t is fitting that their service
should be memorialized, and Satur-
day, October 5, has been designed for
observation in the Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign as Women in War
Work Day"
Will you, If Ii is possible in your
general campaign plans, arrange that
this day will be observed as widely
as possible? We believe that the cele-
bration of Women in War Work Day
by the officers and workers of the Ma
tional Woman's Liberty Loan Commit.
tee will have a real moral affect as
well as a large publicity value in the
Fourth Loan
With best wishes and Congratula-
tions upon the work which your or
ganization has accomplished.
Very cordially yours,
