The suffragsts who are making ready for

YANKS VITAL FACTOR
IN NEXT PHASE OF
THE GREAT BATTLE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


Rheims and Scissors. We knew
from London that the three British
divisions, the Eighth, Fifteenth and
Fiftieth, which held the line north
west Of Rheims. put up a magnifi-
cent fight and even counter-at-
tackled against svastly super r
forces. maintaining all their posi-
tions on the first day until darkness
fell. when Trey were obliged to
throw back their left to conform
with the withdrawal of the center.
These divisions had been sent to
this part of the line for a rest and
it is understood that they are now
being replaced by fresh troops.
The allied STATS have recognized
for a long time. and II Is now obvi-
Gus to all. that the American troops
have become a vital factor in this
battle and may hold the balance
between defeat and victory. and
that il Is only by brigading them
for training with the French and
British that they will be ready in
time to take their part in any num-
bers this year. The cry is and will
be for men, for more men and for
bayonets and yet more bayonets.
I'VE are told that the morale of
the people both in Paris and In Lon
don is unshaken by this somewhat
spectacular thrust of the Germans
and its possibly far-reaching con-
sequences. 1t is at such time that
the spirit Of the people at home
means a great deal to the armies in
the field. There are no criticisms
and recriminations. but a united
front and a determination to come
out on top, what ever happens"

The story of a reunion of two
long-separated brothers on the
brink of a German trench is related
In a letter just received in wash

The American forces In the Toul
sector were staging one Of their
daring raids on enemy positions.
The Yankees were greeted with an
outburst Of machine gun and rifle
bullets as they made their way
through the barbed wire. Two Of
ficers were first to reach the
Boches' line. They bumped into
each other In the dark.
A star shell lighted the ground
around them as they cast glance
at each other.

they grasped hands for an instant.

George has been in the marines
