FAMILY OF MAN IN
 PATRIOTIC SERVICE
 UNJUSTLY TREATED

Frederick G. Wolf. whose wife and children live in Phoenix, is a sergeant in the United States army. It is l charged in a letter written by Mrs. Wolf that her neighbors here had an- noyed her and hurt her feelings by saying her husband was not soldier and not in the United States army. i To settle all doubts in the matter the board of supervisors of Maricopa county yesterday received the follow ing letter from Harry w. Kintz, com manding officer. school for bakers and cooks, Camp Custer, Battle Creek, ] Michigan:
 Tt has been brought to the atten- ton of this office by Sergeant Fred erick G. Wolf that in recent letters from his wife Mrs. Wolf complains that there is a sentiment in the neigh borhood of their home that her. hus- band. Sergeant Wolf. is not soldier of the United States, and that the sen timent is working a hardship on Mrs. Wolf and her children: and further that Sergeant Wolf is not making pro- vision for his family, and should not be a soldier in the United States army. but instead should be making a living and taking care of his family in some other way.
 This is to inform you that Sergeant Frederick G. Wolf is d member of this organization with rank of sergeant first class quartermaster's corps, in structor in cooking; that Sergeant Wolf enlisted on October 29. 1917, and is serving in his second @ enlist ment; and furthermore that Sergeant Wolf is compelled to allot to Mrs. Wolf and his children half of his pay, or s27.50 as Sergeant Wolfs pay is S55 month. to which amount the government adds $50, which means an income to Sergeant Wolfs family of at least s77.50, and it is believed that Sergeant Wolf sends portion of the remainder of his pay also. Sergeant Wolf's previous enlistment was during the Spanish American war. and Ser geant Wolf enlisted for this second enlistment at the earnest request oi Captain Patrick Dunne, quartermaster U. $. R.. who at that time was and is the commanding officer of this organ ization, but now on temporary duty al Camp Cody. N. M, as the services o men who were cooks were and arc very urgently needed in the capacity of cooks and instructors in cooking and Sergeant Wolf's value was dis covered when he was working unde1 the direct supervision of Captain Dunne as a civilian cook. feeding tho drafted army at this camp during Sep tember and October, 1917-
 This information is furnished witt the hope of dispellng the sentimen complained of in the letters of Mrs Wolf to her husband which no doub is only because if transformation il regard to Sergeant Wolf. for it is in conceivable to this office how such sentiment could prevail among tru patriotic Americans concerning maj serving his country to the utmost am at the same time providing and doinl all possible for the peace, comfort am happiness of his family at home."

WORKING RESERVE
 RECORD FUR JUNE
 |S NOTABLE MARK

One of the war organizations of Phoenix that is doing a great deal of work and very little talking is the boys working reserve Phoenix High school has one of the best working reserves in the whole country. Nearly every boy who is physically fit is working in some kind of work. The following figures as compiled by MT. Stauffacher of the local office will show what the boys did in the month of June.
 Of the 135 boys who have made com plete reports for the month the records show that they earned the grand sum of $7,6SS.25 as their wages. This in cludes board in great many cases. More than that no boys have not re- ported for the month of June and no doubt they have earned nearly that much. It is safe to estimate that the total earning of the boys working re- serve of Phoenix for June is s13,O00. The enrolment is as follows:
 Agricultural unit .11S IluuS'iidi uhlt ..''''''...''.' st | Reclamation camp ............... 30 1 IOtdl A ,
 Mir. Carpenter and Mir Johnson are doing wonderful work with the boys in the reclamation camp which is To- cated five and one half miles south east of Mesa. The boys are doing most satisfactory for the reclamation ser vice and besides are having a great time in the camp. Twice a week the boys entertain each other, each squad having one night to entertain. Ther the big night of the week is when the big five gallon can of ice-cre ar rives which Mrs. Dwight B. Heard SC kindly donates each week.
 The boys in the agricultural unit arc all scattered on the various farms o1 the valley. They have a series o eight lessons to study in connection with their work. The industrial boy: also have a series of lessons on voca tional guidance. The boys will all ge the national badge from Washington when they have completed their work This badge is the only badge presented by the United States government out side of the army and navy. The boy! will also get a full credit toward gradu alton in Phoenix high school.

The great question military observers

The Picardy drive. which began

week, after the Germans had advanced
40 miles. The Flanders drive started

Ing the longer period because II camo

The drive Of May 27 on the Cham

stopped IN six. In the fourth effort OF
the Germans between NoyOn and Cha

had stopped the enemy in three days
and was cOunter-attacking.
Thus 1t is clear that Foch has raised
his system Of maneuyering reserves 10

offensive they are thrown In in less

/ Marne on the whole front before Paris
and another sweep to the south OF
| the river such as took place I'm 1914
Before Paris, however. are four Other
large cities which the Germans must
capture before their menace to Paris
can become a real one. They form
sort Of outlying defense system to
the capital, covering a front Of some
80 miles.
These are Compiegne, known as "ths
gate to Paris" which the Germans
tried vainly 10 reach last month, Senlis.
! which lies on the river Nonette. %
miles northeast of Paris; Meaux, an
equal distance east OF Paris on the
Marine, and Coulommiers. on the Grand
NORM, 10 miles southeast Of Meaux.
Meaux already is under bombardment
by long-range naval guns. IL was the
point nearest to Paris reached by the
Germans in their great rush on the
capital in 1914. On the line from
Complegne to Meaux, Gen. Foch Is be-
lieved to have marshaled his reserves
in expectation Of the German attack.
That Gen. Foch expected the drive
10 come on this front was shown by
the fact that the "nibbllng" tactics
he has adopted after each Of the four
1913 German drives were this time be-
ing brought into play on this front
The French. American and British
reserves are massed behind 70, TO be
thrown in when Gen. Foch puts his
hand on the map. as he did In March,
and says:
This far they will advance, and no
tartherr
Like the last two offensives, there
was little element OF surprise in the
current attack. II was expected on
the front where it came. II there was
any surprise at all about IL, IL lay in
the fact that the drive came a few
days before it was expected.
This, 1t is believed, was due to the
Russian situation. The German war
chiefs had planned to deliver their
flnal great smash about July 20. but
the activity Of the Allies in meeting
the German threats in Russia forced
change In plans TO center the atten-
tiOn OF the Allies on the western front.

BERLIN, July i6, via London
Night report-On the Marne from

counter-attacks.
There were some local successes
TO the southwest OF Rheims.
To the east of Rheims the sltua-
tlon Is unchanged.
Day RepOrt-In some sectors fight
ing activity has revived. East Of
Ayette an enemy night advance was
epulsed, as was also a strong enemy
attack east Of Hebuterne.
Between the Alsne and the Marne
and east OF Chateau-Thierry there
were lively artillery duels.
In minor enterprises and during
an advance across the Marne TO
the southwest of JaulgOnne we
broke into the enemys lines and
brought back some prisoners.
Yesterday to the southwest and
each Of Rheims we penetrated into
part Of the French positions.
By their devastating effort, the
artillery, mire thrOwers, and gas
lhrowers, together with our tanks
and infantry flame hrowers, opened
the way into tns eS'my's positions.
The army OF Gu0rs Won BOehn has
crossed the Name between Jaul-
gOnne and east OF DOrmans.
At dsybreak pioneers transported
storming troops across the river
and thereby created the foundation
for the success OF the day. The
infantry stormed the steep slopes
on the southern bank OF the Marne,
and under their cover the consTuc-
tlon OF bridges was carried out.
In steady fighting we thrust
through the stubbornly defended
wooded country OF the first posi-
tions and drove the enemy hack to-
ward his rear lines at Conde-La
Chapelle-Monthodn.
North of the Marne we also
wrested from the French and ltal-
ians their first position between the
Ardre and the Marne. In the even
Ing we were nghting TO the east Of
the Chatillon-Cuchery line.
The armies OF Generals Won Mudra
and Won Rinon attacked the enemy
in Champagne from Prunay, east OF
Rheims, as far as Tahure, and in
an encounter with the enemy, who
was avoiding our attack, we cap
tured the first French positions.
To the south OF Nauroy and
Moronvilliers we pushed forward
across the Cornillet-HOchberg
Kellbergid heights to the crater
field as far as the Roman Road to
the northwest Of Prosnes and into
the wooded country south Of
Fitchtelberg.
To the east OF Suippes we
wrested from the enemy the field
OF Champagne battle between Au-
verive and southeast OF Tahure.
On the front of attack east Of
Rheims the enemy is holding his
second positions TO the north OF
Prosnes, Couain, and Perthes.
In spite OF low clouds and a
high wind our aerial fighting
force was Iaotive. lFnom low

they brought down over the bat
