American forces in France are more
than half as strong as the whole Ger
man army and the tide of American
fighting men toward Erar2e is con-
tinuing at an even pace"
The western battle wall has been
rebuilt by the allied and American
forces. according to national capital
observers. When the first American
army swiftly trampled out the St.
Mihiel salient the last possibility of a
German strategic stroke passed. The
enemy is faced by straight line from
the North sea to the Swiss border.
Along the center of the great
sweep OF the front, British and
French armies are storming ahead
night and day, marrying and harass-
ing the battered German divisions
without rest. Pershings men stand
before Metz AMI Contains and against
that new threat the enemy must
gather reserves here on this new
front at the very time when every
available reserve division is sorely
needed to meet the allied rush to the
north. Signs of further withdrawal
are manifest along the German front.
In payment for their lavish expen-
diture of lives in the abortive Of
fensive, the German leaders have now
been compelled by formal decree to
reduce the fighting strength of every
infantry unit. Instead of $50 men
in each battalion there are now only
$50 under the revised organization.

COMMUNITY COUNCILS
IMPORTANT WAR AID

Three communications recently re-
coived by the Thurston County Coun-
Gil Of Defense show the Importance
OF the community councils now being
organized in every district of the
country.
In a letter to President Wilson.
Secretary of War Baker says:
New problems constantly arose
and tho work of the State Councils
of Defense has notably increased In
scope and in significance. To &C
complish this work they have built
up an organization uniquely suited
to its purpose. Every State Council
of Defense has active County Coun-
ellis Of Defense under it., while in
nearly state the organization Of COM
munity councils, bringing the govern
ment to the people and the people to
the government, is progressing rap
idly"
In reply President Wilson says:
II am particularly struck by the
value of extending our defense or
ganization into the smallest commu-
character of national system so Or
mites, and by the truly democratic
ganized." ~
The State Council, after saying that
it is arranging with the representa-
tives of various federal officials fos
the early issue Of bulletins for the
community of councils. says:
"A series OF meetings Of commu
nifty councils 1T which specific cur
rent requests of each federal agency
are read and discussed will not mere
ly assist greatly in the work OF those
agencies themselves, but will enable
the community councils to carry ou'
other less tangible lines OF work
which in themselves are difficult te
handle but are Of real importance.
These community councils are nov
being organised in all the city, town
and country communities of the county
by the County Council OF Defense
under the special direction Of George
F. Yantis, chairman Of the organiza
ton committee.
Every loyal American ought to be
enrolled as a member.
