the object of this offensive is, TO
drive dangerous wedges either north
OF the Sambre in the direction of Mons
or south of the river in the direction
or Avesnes and Maubeuge. The result
may be compromise retreat of the
German armies in Belgium or those
still between the Disc and the Aisnc.

The second sectio.. OF the attnck
is being conducted by Generals Gou-
raud and Liggett on tae Meusc. This
IS the great strategic offensive which
the Germans have always feared and
which they sought to make impossible
by storming Verdun in 1916
The aim OF the Franco-American
offensive is to pinch out the whole
pocket. American troops are at Beau
mont, less than eight miles from
Lamouilly station, northwest OF Mont
medy. on the great shuttle railroad
running between Thionville, Sedan and
Mezieres. Even better. the opening of
a fresh attack by the Americans on
the east bank Of the Meuse may bring
them into the Montmedy- -Longuyon
. region. That may mean, not only the
cutting Of the railroad but making
it impossible for the enemy to form
upon the Meuse line. because that
front could no longer be joined up
with that of Thionville.

SUCCESS OF W.S.S.
DRIVE DUE LARGELY
TO WORK OF WOMEN

A great portion OF the success at
tending the present War Savings
Stamps drive is attributed by Dis
trict Director d. ]. Callahan TO the
efforts OF q group Of loyal, indetau-
gable women workers. The women's
committee Is headed by Mrs. Louis
BrownloW, chairman. and Mrs. R b.
H. Lyon. vice chairman, and Is COM
posed OF women prominent in the So
eial life of the city, all Of whom have
gladly donated their services, which
have been OF such vital assistance TO
the District committee.
II feel hat any tribute I can pay
to the splendid work OF Mrs Brown
lows committee" said Mr.. Callahan
today, "will fall short OF expressing
the value Of the work they have done
and are doing. They have been tire
less in their efforts, communicating
their enthusiasm into channels that
have been productive OF much good"
Members OF the committee are sta
TONED in the principal hotels and de-
pArtment stores, not only selling
stamps, but also obtaining pledges
for the purchase Of other stamps dur
ing the remainder Of the year. They
have also capably handled canvassers
of the apartment houses. Another
example OF their philanthropic work
was given last Wednesday night on
the occasion Of the opening perform
ance of "Daddies' at the Belasco The
alter, when a group Of these ladies
purchased the entire gallery seating
capacity, donating the tickets to en-
listed men from nearby camps.

WAR MESSAGE TO
F.. j. S. WOMEN GIVEN
BY MRS. PANKHURST

The women Of America must be
brought nearer to the war. and Mrs.
Emmsline Pankhurst, leader OF the
woman's party in England. is In
Washington today to bring that fact
home to her sisters over here.
Another message that the famous
suffraEette brings to America 10 the
need for immediate action by the
allies to halt the German advance in
Russia
Mrs, Pankhurst said:
with the exception Of France, sut-
frags is now a settled question. Be-
sides today there is only one question
for consideration, the question Of
winning the war.
Women Realize Menace.
But the women Of the allies will
never receive the benefits Of suf-
fraKe unless their men win the war.
1 feel often as II the women Of the
world realize much more clearly the
terrible menace to civilization that
a German victory would bring.
The women OF France aud Eng
land know that they would loss all
they have gained in the last 100
years II the Kaiser's army Il VIC
toriouE
1--WE women Of England feel that It
devolVes upon US TO hold the front
line at home. We must take the
place Of the men who 90 to the front.
The women of England are very
near to the war. We believed that We
should bring to the women Of Amer
lea our viewpoint And so 1 have
come here to urge upon them that
they do their utmost to aid their eoun-
try In bringing to bear at once every
force Of this great nation to the task
OF winning the war.
81 feel now that the greatest step
that could be taken would be inter
yention in Siberia. We must not let
the Germans force US to accept battle
on a small front in France. We must
keep him running from one front to
another In that, I believe, lies an
early end to the war.
Action In Russia
Il am told that the question is now
receiving serious consideration by
your officials. I earnestly hope they
will see their way clear to join in an
effort to prevent the Germans from
oVerrunning Russia.
81 have been in Russia great deal
I believe 1 know conditions there.
And I am convinced that there Is no
hope for Russia under the present
chaotic conditions"
