ALLIES EXPECTING
BLOW ANY MINUTE
TUE MICH TALKED OF GERMAN
OFFENSIVE LIKELY TO BE
LAUNCHED SOON.

Behind the entente allies line in
France and Belgium the military
leaders, with their armies ready
are expecting tine Germans to launch
their much talked of offensive. but
there still is no outward sign of Its
near approach. Artillery duels and
raiding operations and intensive
aerial activities continues to feature
the fighting all along the 'front.'
Three successful raids against the
Germans have been carried out by
the British in Flanders and near
Lens and Arras in Northern France.
In Flanders the raids. which were
carried out south of the Houtholst
wood, resulted in the British pene-
trating German positions on wide
front the infection of numerous
casualties and the taking of prison
ers.
Sixteen German airplanes were
accounted for Sunday in aerial fight
ing by British army airmen and in
addition German towns and military
positions behind the battle front
were heavily bombarded. Naval
airmen also paid a visit to the Ger
man naval and air bases at Zeebrugge
which were effectively bombarded
and drove down three German ma
chimes that attempted to give battle.
The tense political situation IN
Great Britain arising from the Sec
recy surrounding the recent supreme
war council at Versailles and the re-
tirement of Gen Robertson as chief
of the British imperial staff, has
heen bridged. Premier Lloyd George
announced to the House of Commons
that it had been decided to set up a
central authority to coordinate the
strategy of the allies, and that the
plan submitted by the Americans
which put the case for the present
PROPOSAL was one of the ablest
documents ever submitted to mil:
itary conference. The Ilan was
adopted with minor changes.

WASHINGTON NOT SURPRISED.

Washington, February 19:-An-
nouncement of the Bolsheviki gov
ernment's intention to sign a peace
treaty based on the humiliating con-
ditions imposed by Germans caused
no surprise in official circles here in
view of the failure of the Russians
attempt to influence the German
Socialists TO prevent an attack on
unresisting people.
An irresistible demand by the
great masses of the Russian people
for peace had brought about the
downfall in turn of three consecu-
tive governments; that of Car Mich
olas, Prince Lvosk and Kerensky.
Lenine and Trotzky, according to
the official understanding here, were
fully aware that their regime would
share the same fate if they failed to
respond to the overwhelming de-
mand of the public.

while it is actually representing the

OPPORTUNITY FOR MEN

BLACKSMITHS, CARPENTERS, ELECTRICIANS
AND VARIOUS OTHER TRADESMEN
WANTED TO BUILD SHIPS FOR WAR.

We are requested by the Shipping Board at Washington
to say that they badly need mechanics They nave the
wards the material the money but they lack skilled labor
ers They contemplate building six million tons OF shipping
annually but cannot do it for lack of men.
They want blaeksmths carpenters electricians plumb
pipe filters aughtsmen store keepers and various ot
er kinds Of mechanics
It's no use for these men to go the yards and expect
employment on arrival The Government must know some
thing about them first They must enroll themselves, give
age occupation experience and references These Will be
considered and accepted they will be Instructed when and
where to report and at good pay.
The proper blanks may be obtained from Mr. Geo Nc
Elveen chairman of she Williamsburg County Council OF
Defense who will be glad to give information to any who
personally apply they write Hon Edward Hurley,

We may add that these not only patriotic positions,
but profitable ones Those wanting blanks should attend to
it at once The safety of future depends largely upon
the construction of these ships.
The fact that the recent order issued by Fuel Admin
strator Garfield closing the factories of the whole country
and more recent embargo issued by Secretary McAdoo tying
up all the freight with the exception of food and fuel
not because of falling down of the carriers themselves,
but because of the lack of ships The for this is
plain The speeding up of the American factories piled in
the Eastern seapor and packed into every railway siding

knitting department emphasize that
socks and sweaters are the most
needed articles. Sweaters are to be
made % inches long. The head size
of the sweater should be large
enough to enable a man wearing a
No 8 hat to slip it on easily. This IS
important. Make sweaters 38 inches
| in chest measure. Socks should be
knitted of gray, white or unwashed
wool; feet between II and IL inches
long; legs IA inches long; legs and
feet not ovor inches wide. There
must be no knots in socks. In knit
ting, disregard the number of stitch
es and knit to dimensions.
! Many discarded wool knitted gar
ments may be utilized for Red Cross
purposes if the directions given be-
low are followed:
Used white yarn may be used for
socks if it is stout enough. Test for
strength before knitting into socks.
The many colored yarns may be
knitted into most useful blankets, as
follows: Knit small squares and join
them together, making a blanket the
size of regulation single blanket
any combination of c0lors. Numbers
of these blankets are needed.

Henry Cilland ON the Firing Line.

A recent issue of the Princeton
Alumni Weekly" contained the fol-
lowing extracts from a letter from
Henry Gibbs Gilland, son of Mrs
Lester M Conrow, who is with the
Princeton Unit. American Expedi-
tionary Forces in France: All the
comforts of home, such as typewrit-
ers, are ever among US and thoughts
of home are among US, too. so con-
stantly that one of the boys dream
ed the other night that he was
asleep between the tigers in front
of Nassau Hall at peace with the
world. Every train, wagon. auto
mobile has become for US merely an
instrument or cog in the everlast-
ing business of war. It hardly
seems possible that there are other
businesses, and wonder what we'll
be good for when the time comes to
board the ship bound for the U S A.
Up here the only citizens (there are
perhaps q hundred) are old men,
women and children. On the hori-
zon is the constant roar which keeps
us reminded when we are back from
duty, that things are still going on
up there. The singing of machine
gun bullet is more disconcerting
than a Yale victory. We hear
great things of what you all are do
ing back home anC it is most en-
couraging. Everybody. man. wo-
man and child has got to give a
helping hand, and it is good to hear
how everybody in America is re-
spending. The raising of the Sec
ond liberty loan was a tremendous
thing and the news has spread
broadcast over here and l am sure
has penetrated the vitals of Ger
many. The French say You (edi-
torial You) when you do things, you
do them in big way. And so it is.
How glad they are to see US here
and everywhere we go we get a
royal reception. tell you it is a
great thing and privilege to wear
