NEW SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
Recreation Training Course Opened
Mt Funston by Vera .Barger.


mt Funston by Vera .Barger.
A school for the training of girls to
do recreationaI work in Industrial
centers has been opened at Camp
Funston by Miss Vera Barger, q
young woman from Youngstown,
Ohio. who has been doing Y. w. c. A
secretarial work at the camp for some
tire.
So successful was Miss Barger,s eff
forts at Army CITY, where she is in
charge of the Y. W. c: A. hostess
house, that she was sent east to take
a course of training in New York
CITY, preparatory to teaching recrea-
tional work to other women. She has
organized classes which meet in the
hostess house at Army City. The
students are college girls, and many
of the society buds of year OF two
ago. Being a society bud is quite out
of date, and all the girls, instead of
bowling themselves into the social
world, a. crowbarring their way into
the occupational world. The war has
made their entrance more or less
necessary and easy
Miss Barger has been asked to write
an account of her experience as a sec
rotary in an army camp, and her story
OF the life at Funston Is now being
cepted by publishers and will proba-
bly, be on the press in short time.
Among the young women attending
the school is Miss Helen Guild.

Washburn college. She was a sorority
girl, and one of the most popular

While this retreat was going on the
Germans began a withdrawal from the
Flanders salient and today they are
nearly back to the lines from which
they sailed to their. attack late in
April.
Defensive Operations Now Complete.
Thus far the allied drive might
have been considered in the light OF
defensive operations, but the work has
not paused with the mere repulse of
the enemy. His positions along the
Hindenburg line, east of Arras have
south, near ST. Quentin, the British
have in recent days, fought their way
into the enemy's lines where he had
planned to stand on the defensive.

ma during four years of warfare
These are not simple trenches, but
vast field Notifications which stretch
from the North sea, with few Interrupt
tions. to the Swiss frontier. s
This general line of defensive posi-
tions had become known as the Hin
denburg line. but to different sections
of it have been given names from the
old German epic of the Niebelungen-
lied
Thus the Woten, Seigfried, Brunhild
and kriemhild lines have been men,
toned in reports from the front. They
are carefully constructed with all the
science at the command of the Ger

midable barrier to further allied at
tacks.
Allies Now Know How.
Six months of the warfare of mo-
ton. however. has taught the allies
that a trench is no stronger than the
troops that man it. In this fact lies
the hope of the entente nations. New
methods of attack. the employment OF
tanks and the higher morale than
will be relied upon in the fighting to
break the enemy's defensive lines and
force. new retreats.
Germany Has Lost Chance.
Germany has lost her chance to
force peace upon the allies before
American armies entered the fight
with all their strength. This was her
hope in March,, Losses of a serious
nature were suffered by the allies dur
ing the long battle, but they have been
more than doubly offset by the in
flowing American legions. Germany's
losses, on the other hand, cannot be
made good. Hope blasted, crack divi-
sions broken up and seeming victories
turned into defeats have sapped the
morale of the German armies, which
today are on the defensive every

MRS. B.: For a formal afternoon
wedding, a woman should wear an
afternoon dress. light or dark in color.
as her taste and wardrobe dictate.
Gloves to harmonize should be worn
with this and a dressy hat.
MISS M. B.: When a great num-
Der of people are invited to a church
ceremony it is best to send out en-
graved invitations. When the bride
wears a tailored, suit. the matron of
honor should dress as quietly as the
bride in some pretty soft afternoon
dress of neutral color. A buffet break
fast could follow the reception, as that
would make the serving easier for so
many guests.
