and there are thousands OF others
which viii never be recorded, because
they gave 70 teams and workers on
the streets. IN the hotels and restsur-
ants and in other public places where
there was no opportunity to record
their numbers. Not one effort of the
campaign has failed, whether it was
solicitation by teams. public collec-
tions, house-to-house csnvssses. the
gathering in OF small coins on the
two miles of dimes plan. hotel ac-
tivities, or the organizations Of
workers.
In the haste OF compiling the figures
for publication on Saturday afternoon
/ Alfred l. dupont was credited with a
contribution OF $500 Mr. duPont's
contribution was $4,000. and as II Is
desired that he be given credit for
| his donation the corrected figures are
gladly published.
Thousands OF dollars have been con-
I tributed by workmen in the various
shops and establishments OF the city.
This campaign was conducted siren
ously and found ready response among
the men and women themselves. Many
OF the shops organized themselves and
workmens committees preached the
doctrine OF giving TO the Red Cross. The
total amount OF all the gifts from this
source Is a gratifying increase In the
total subscriptions II does not, how
ever, fully record the contributions OF
the workmen, for many OF them besides
giving In the shops also gave at their
homes and in the public collection.
I One OF the splendid efforts OF the
campaign has been the house-to-house
canvass conducted by volunteer organi-
zations Of women under the leadership
Of A. Rae DuBell. Five hundred OF
these women were formed into ward or
ganizations, each ward having its cap
tain and its team. and they interviewed
every household In their district The
total amount OF this contribution will
+ be known tonight
DR.. c. Layton Grier. head OF the Kent
and Sussex County teams, will come up
10 the closing dinner tonight with the
total amount OF subscriptions collected
IN those counties Dr. Grier II is ex-
peoted win surprise the workers here
with the account OF what his men and
women have done. Kent and Sussex
during the last campaign won banner
for their successful efforts and il is
fully expected that In this campaign
they will have surpassed their former
record
There is one organization in Delaware

This attack. however, is not likely to
develop into q threatening offensive.
All things considered. the heaviest
fghting will take place before Amiens.
Here the Germans have concentrated
their heaviest guns Here they will in
all probability deliver the supreme blow
which embraces Germany's final hopes
for victory
How Germans Are Massed.
/ The French general staff. has discov-
cred that the German divisions are
placed in this manner along the front;
Ten divisions 10000 mem between
Nieuport and Ypres. under command Of
General Sixt Won Arnim.
Forty divisions l4s0,Oo0 mem between
Ypres and the La Bassee Canal, Just
north OF Arras. under General Sieger.
One hundred divisions (i,200Oc0 mem
on the 50-mile front between La Bsssee
and Montdidier, under General Won
Below.
Il was no doubt because OF the great
concentration Of Germans before Am
lens that General Foch picked this part
OF the line to be strengthened by the
American men and artillery
TO counteract the reinforcement OF
the allied armies. Germany has called
into the fray every man. boy and ma

last great adventure.

Of the spring drive he depended largely
on the class OF 1918. boys Of 81. but now
he has dipped into the nations man
power 20 the extent Of calling the
classes OF 1919 and 1920 far ahead OF their
time.
For two weeks allied airmsn have
brought reports of great activity be-
hind the German lines while the infan-
try was idle, resting for the new at
tacks In the meantime the German ar
tlllery has been bombarding with ever
increasing intensity the whole allied
front from Ypres to Noyon.
Through the German press the people
have shown their impatience to have the
drive started and over with. The mill
tary authorities have been feeding them
with excuses, such as bad weather, the
necessity for reforming shattered
armies. etc.
But now everything Is In readiness
and Ludendorf, chief OF the general staff
has given the word and named the date
for resumption OF the struggle.
The fate OF the world may be decided
in the next few weeks.
