YANKEES intend
TO TAKE METZ
Pershing's S. Advance on the
Meuse Beginning of "Nut-
Cracker Strategy
HUNS MUST EALL
BACK FIFTY MILES
BY A. E. GELDHOF,
WAR Editor of the Newspaper Enter

WAR Editor OF the Newspaper Enter
prise Association.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 2.-General
Pershing's second big advance west OF
Verdun bears all the ear-marks OF be-
ing the beginning Of the great pincer
movement which Is 10 catch Metz be-
tween its jaws and snap Il of from
Germany.
Metz might be captured by a frontal
attack, but only at the cost Of heavy
American casualties and an expensive
outlay In siege gun ammunition. Il Is
simpler and easier TO attack the great
German fortress from its flanks and
encircle It.
That the allied high command has
decided on this method OF attack is
plainly indicated by the direction Of
this weeks sudden plunge through the
Hindenburg line west OF the Meuse, as
well as by the recent wlping out Of the
st. Mihiel salient.
This movement has only begun. The
chances are that It VIII be conlinued
for several days 10 render the German
line about Nerdun as unstable as pos
sible.
When F0ch and Pershing decide that
they have battered the line between
Verdun and the Suippes river hard
enough, they VIII inaugurate the sec
ond phase Of the pincer or nut
cracker" strategy.
This will constitute an attack some
where along the border Of German LOr-
raine. southeast o. Metz-most prob
ably along the Marne-Rhlne canal be-
tween Nancy and Lunevilie. The blow
will not be long in coming, for we
must give the German STAFF credit for
enough intelligence TO figure out the
Allied trategy Immediately. and TO be-
gin preparations 10 combat Il.
The French and American line along
this front IS only five 10 ten miles from
the German border, and even small
advance would carry the American flag
into Germany.
Linked up with the current advance
west OF Verdun, Il would force the Ger
mans TO evacuate the new line they
have established before Metz over a
front Of 30 miles or more and swing
the American line TO the west and
southeast Of the forts Of Metz Thus
encOmpassed and under American she'll
fire. the fortress could not hold out
long.
That the Germans are awake TO their
periol on this front is shown by the
report that the civilian population Of
Metz has been ordered 10 eyacuate.
The advance OF our first field army
along the western bank Of the Meuse
already has recovered a score Of towns
and villages that have been held by.
the Germans since 1914 The coming
advance into Germany will be a spec
tacular victory, but its significance will
be confined to the Metz operation.
There Is plenty Of good fighting
weather left before snow flies 70 make
an operation OF this magnitude sue
cessful this fall. although Il was not
expected Foch would launch it until
the spring.
The British offensive IN the valley OF
the Scsrpe must be regarded as merely
a diversion from the main operation
before Metz, and part Of the Foch
strategy which insists on continually
smashing the Huns.

TAKEN AS Thief
ON HONEYMOON
Stolen Clothes Put in
Cephus' Valise as
Practical Joke
JUDGE LET'S DOWN
STATE NEGRO co

A case involving three Negroes. three
quarts OF whiskey, a small black valise
and a suit OF clothes, was turned over
90 Court Officer Mcdaniel by Judge
Churchman at a session OF Municipal
Court yesterday afternoon. Ofllcer Nc
Dannell called the witnesses about him
after court adjourned and at once set
his Sherlock IOlmes instinct TO work
ing. His report to the court today un-
raveled the mystery and as a result
Judge Churchman said'he believed some
one other than Benimain Cephus, he
principal in the case placed the clothes
in the yalise and dismissed the defend
ant.
Benjamin Cephus, colored man hall
ing from SeafOrd, where he says he has
worked for che last eight years and
bears a good reputation for honesty and
truihfulness. was arraigned before the
Judge on a larceny charge.
James Green, a Negro, OF No. 3 Rob
insOn street, told the court that he
went 10. work Mondsy morning leaving
a good suit Of clothes hanging in the
closet OF his room In the Robinson
street house. When he returned at
noon he found the clothes were gone.
He decided that as Benjamin, who had
come TO the house Sunday night with
his brand new bride, and a friend by
the name OF Rhody Adams were the
only strangers In the house Sunday
night that one OF them must have
taken the suit He said he at once set
out on a search. At the Pennsylvania
station he saw Cephus and then got
a Pennsylvania Railroad officer and de-
manded Of Cephus that he open the
grip which he carried. Cephus did so
and showed bewildered and surprised
expression. lie vehfmently declared
that he did not know how the clothes
got into his grip, said the railroad Of
flcer.
Asked today where his new wife got
20 after he had gotten into trouble,
Cephus said that she has been lost since
the arrest and must have gone home.
The defendant told the court that he
came from Seaford on Sunday after get
ting married. He and his wife and the
Adams woman came 20 Wilmington for
a brief visit following the wedding. He
said he gave his wife the grip after
he had placed three quarts OF liquor
in Il and then she returned to the room.
Later he got the grip from her and
went to the station 10 wait for her
while she did some shopping. He in
sisted that he knew nothing as to how
the stolen clothes got into his grip.
Judge Churchman remarked that II
might be possible that someone put up
a lob" on the newly married couple.
Assistant City Solicitor Malloy told
the court tnat he believed the defend
ants story and asked that the charge
be nOlle pressed.

TAKE TRACK SUIT
FROM KAISER AND
HURRY HIM HOME

Lieutenant B. F. Ogden, now with
the American expeditionary forces
in France, in a letter to friends in
Moline, writes that the Germans
have marked up the walls in France
with sketches. He says:
Have just got through with a
gas attack-just a little one. The
billet back in reserve where we stay
after our tour of duty was occupied
two years ago by the boches. The
walls are all cartooned and sketch
ed over by the Germans. One whole
wall is a clever sketch but a poor
subject 1t shows the kaiser in a
running suit, with an iron cross
around his neck, beating it down
the road. His cape is flying off
backward in the wind, denOting
some speed, and a milestone says,
Paris 200 kilometres. Below this
Frenchman obviously has made
cruder sketch, with the kaiser
minus any track suit and beating
il for Berlin.
Don't worry about me-will be
back with you right side up with
care. Will write you of the excite
ment when 1 get back to rest
camp"

The Moline Damenverein will

And the German language Will be

But a well defined campaign
which was started at the meeting
yesterday to remove the German

success.
Mrs. August Moeller presented a
resolution that the society change
its name and use the English Ian
guage completely The motion was
seconded by Mrs. William Stewart.
The motion did not carry, however.
Speaking of the meeting, Mrs.
Stewart said today:
The officers said they would re-
sign. | think it's about time we had
an American name and did our bus
mess in the English language.
no. the war wasn't mentioned,
or anything like that. But we felt
that We ought TO discard anything
that suggested German And when
they talk German we can't under
stand hardly anything. OF course;
they are always willing to explain,
but that's a useless bother.
Mrs Theodore Tietgen, 1912 Fiji

she couldn't conduct the meeting il
we changed the language. And our
secretary said the same thing.
1t was a case of habit and GUS

business in German. / am sure
there is no question of loyalty in
yolved," said Mrs Stewart when
asked about that phase of the sit

But don't you see. that's the way

more recently admitted are all in
favor of the change"

MOLINE MAN HAS
BEEN NAMED FOR
PLACE ON BOARD

II. E. Surman of Moline is on the
committee of the state council of
defense, cooperating with a com
mittee of the national council for
the encouragement of use of motor
trucks for between-city freight de-
livery.
Serious effort to utilize highways
and motor trucks to supplement or
binary transportation facilities has
been inaugurated at the instance
of the state council of defense.
Some time ago the council of ma
tional defense created national
highways transportation committee
TO deal with this subject. This
committees main purpose was to
stimulate motor truck transports,
ton to relieve, as far as possible,
rail congestion.
The particular problem of this
committee was to encourage use OF
motor trcuk transportation by
package freight shippers, so that
trucks which might be engaged in
this work would have loads both
coming and going between the
points reached by them.
The Illinois state council of de-
Tense promptly appointed a COM
mittee to cooperate with the ma
tional committee in this work. and
chose for it the chief engineer and
his four district engineers for the
division of highways of the Illinois
department of public works and
buildings. They were: Clifford Old
er of Springfield, chairman; l..
Schwartz of Aurora, H. E. Surman,
Moline; A H. Hunter, Peoria; r. l..
Bell, Paris.
Experience and investigation soon
demonstrated that Illinois has too
few good roads to permit motor
transportation to become a factor
in handling merchandise, unless
motor transport is coOrdinated with
package freight transport by inter
urban electric lines.
With this in mind the state coun
Gil of defense has added the follow
ing names to the highways trans
port committee: William G. Edens,
Chicago, president Illinois Highway
association; John H. Winterbotham,
Chicago, midwest representative of
the council of national defense; H.
NJ. Allison, Packard Motor Car COM
pany, Chicago; Henry Paulman,
Pierce-Arrow Motor company, Chi
cago; G. A Freeman, Walker We
hicle company. Chicago; Leonard
A. Busby, Chicago Surface lines,
Chicago; Britton |. Budd, Chicago
Elevated railroads, Chicago; John
T. Stockton, Stockton Transfer
company, Chicago; Joseph Davis,
Winton company, Chicago.
To facilitate effective work by
the increased highways transport
committee, Chairman Older and his
four engineering associates, will op-
crate as the highways division o.
the committee, and the nine addi-
tional members named above will
serve as the transport division of
the committee.
With the assistance of the expert
motor truck and electric railway
men now added to the committee.
it is hoped that effective use of the
highways to supplement railway
transportation may be worked out.
