READY TO CALL 1920 Glass

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP 81 M M -.
With the British Armies in France,
April 2S.-Practically sevenninths of
the fit German divisions on the west
front have appeared in the fighting,
either on the Somme or the Lys, since
Hindenburg loosed his drive March 21.
About thirty-five fresh divisions
100000 men) have been thrown
against the allies on the northern
front and about 100 divisions G,2o0,-
600 mem on the southern. AS about
twenty enemy divisions are unfit, out
of the 2O5 (2,46O,0O0 mem on the
west front, it is plain the majority of
the Germans already have shared in
the offensive.
This explains the lulls in the fight
ing The tired demand rest and those
units which were slashed up undergo
repairs. the gaps being filled with re-
cruits from the field depots or the in
terror.
1919 Class Already Called.
The 1919 class now appears to be in
the line and the 1920 class is ready to
be called up. One must not get the
idea the divisions mentioned are defi-
nitely used up, altho at least 1875 of
the 1855 fit divisions have been in the
fighting.
Hindenburg has been busy during
April in grooming up and making
fresh divisions from the battered ones.
This is the meaning of the Tong, quiet
period on the southern battle front.
Perhaps forty divisions which were
used on the Somme are already able
to return to the line.

EAT HORSE MEAT NOW
England Using It-Sclls at - to
re Cents a Pound.

London, March "a (by maiD The
first official horseflesh shop was
opened in London in Camden Town
recently. The new wartime meat had
brisk sale. At the suggestion of the
war office old army horses are slaugh-
tered for sale at the new shop. The
prices range from siXten cents per
pound for the less desirable cuts to
tWenty-nine cents for the choicer
portions. Among the first customers
were three soldiers on leave. They
said the only difference between horse
and COW meat was that the horse
worked for a living.

No Relaxation of War Effort.

President Wilson is said to hold the
opinion that the people must take care
not to be led by the highly favorable
reports from all battle fronts into a
state of undue optimism over the
speedy ending of the war, which might
result in relaxation of effort in behalf
of the liberty loan. While himself en-
tertaining no doubt of the success of
the loan, and sharing the general graft
fication over the good news from all
Europe, the President is said to be
sensible of the danger of taking it for
granted that effort to the utmost is per-
haps not required.
While events occurring and fore
'casted as probable are altogether IA
-vorable to the cause Of the allies, the
end of the war is not in sight and is
not visualized to the extent of war
ranting the slightest cessation of eff
fort in any direction. The military
arm of the allies at the moment is in
creasing the weight and power and eff
fectiveness of its blows.
That arm must be equipped and
further strengthened in every way, and
to do this requires money and yet
more money. Enjoy the good news
and be grateful, but abate no effort, es-
pecially at this moment in supporting
the liberty loan to the uttermost.

Brazil at the Front.

Tho Brazilian ambassador to Wash.
ington said at New York in connection
with the opening of the fourth liberty
loan campaign that the hope Of his
nation was chat some day, not far
away, the flag Of Brazil will be un-
furled beside the flags Of the allies in
some action that will be decisive in
this fight for liberty"
Brazil has valuably aided civiiza-
ton in this war with food, other es-
sential supplies, her own shipping and
German shipping interned in her ports.
Her warships have patrolled the west
ern Atlantic and they are very likely
on duty in the eastern Atlantic, North
sea and the Mediterranean. Perhaps
they may be assisting in the convoy Of
American troops.
The hope that the flag Of Brazil will
be unfurled beside the flags Of the
allies on the fields Of Europe may be
the simple expression of hope and
with nothing between the lines. It may
also mean that Brazilian troops will
soon stand beside their allies. There
have been rumors that a Brazilian di-
vision is in training in France. Per-
haps it may be division or corps.
Perhaps Brazil is preparing to make
her man-power felt in Europe.
