Learn How to Break the

for Soldiers

Breaking the ice" at the various
affairs given for the m in KHAKI
brings forth number Of novel ideas.
Sometimes things ar. bit stiff Just
at first, for it is a little difficult to
talk to utter strangers and make them
feel at home. After you have asked
the stalwart guests about their home
and their branch of the service. con-
versation languishes. You can see
them growing restive and bored
look comes into their eyes.
At the delightful dancing parties
given every two weeks ~ the Com
rade club some very effective getting
acquainted" stunts have been planned.
The ever popular circle two-step" is
always used, and it is impossible to
be stiff and formal while everyone is
running around and round the room
flushed and breathless, wondering
who their partner will be when the
orchestra strikes the opening chord
in a jazzy two-step. The "cut-in" or
steal" waltzes are very effective, too.
and the girls are whirled until they
are dizzy by first one soldier and then
another, until they feel that you know
everyone in the room.
Talk to, not at" is the slogan of
many of these recreation clubs
throughout the country and the girls
live up to their motto in every par
ticular. At me of the picnics unique
ice-breakers have been used. Ego"

an ingenious game for this purpose
IS very easy to learn. Each man is
given three tri-colored pins which he
wears until he says the word 81"
Then he must give his pin to his
partner and move IN to talk to new
girl. By the time soldier has for
feited his three pins he has large
circle of friends and the most bashful,
homesick Sammy finds his reserve
melting under the warm sun OF new
found friendships.
At many of the parties no ice
breakers seem necessary, however,
and in the private homes the Omaha
hostesses are so tactful and consider
ate that each man feels himself one
Of the family circle.
Mrs. C. A. Mallory, who has en-
deared herself to every soldier sta
toned in Omaha, kept open house
for the boys for many months before
her appointment as hostess at the
Fort Omaha Young Mems Christian
association. Mrs. Mallory tells
proudly that the men felt so at home
that they foraged the refrigerator and
many were the cozy groups in front
of the fire on chilly evenings popping
corn and toastin3 marshmallows

BAKER SAW ATTACK
Secretary Of War Witnesses Beginning
of Big Drive.

10y tne Associated PreSs.J
With the American Army on the
Champagne front, Thursday, Sept. 26.
$50 p. m.-Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker witnessed the beginning
of the American drive along the front
northwest of Verdun this morning. At
o'clock, after the enemy positions
had been bombarded with high explo-
sives and gas shells, the American in
fantry advanced.
Squadrons of tanks again formed an
effective part of the attacking force,
especially in the region of Cheppy.
These land battleships moved up with
the infantry, smashing down wire en-
tanglements and routing the enemy
from machine gun nests. The work
of the American airplanes was one Of
the features of the combat. An aerial
barrier was maintained over the line,
preventing the enemy from observing
the movements oftroops. In spite of the
fog, the airmen swooped lower over
the enemy's trenches, and materially
assisted the advancing infantry.
Without hitch and absolutely ac-
cording to schedule the entire line was
moving tonight into positions parallel
ing the line Of attack.

General Ludendorff Tells Why His
Troops Lost Recent Battles.

Paris, Sept. 27.-General Luden-
dorff in an order dated August II de-
clares the defeat at the Avre suffered
by the German armies was due to
lack of proper organization of a sys-
tematic defense both in the line and at
the rear. The order. which fell into
the hands of the French thru some
captives, it is stated in battle front
dispatches received here today, says:
1T is absolutely inadmissionable
that tanks after penetrating the adj
vanced lines should be permitted to
push along the roads or beside them
for miles"
He declared that the principle that
a body of troops, even when surround
ed, must defend their own ground to
the last man and last cartridge seems
to have fallen into oblivion.
