Uncle Sam looks after his soldier
boys in camp as carefully as a hen
with one chick does after her off
spring. When it comes to the health
of the army nothing is too small tc
take into account.
A recent survey of the physical
condition of the men at one of the
camps shows by comparison with the
data taken at their coming that they
have gained from a half to an inch
in height and from five to twenty-five
pounds in weight. This is a convinc-

struggle, not for towns and villages,
but to outmanoeuvre and annihilate
armies.
The Drive for Paris.
On May q began the drive for Par
is, just as everybody who had eyes
see had expected. a continuation
of Hindenburg's fundamental plan to
crush the allied armies and force a
German peace on the world
But the great decision to brigade
Americans with the British and
French already had become effective.
We first knew of it, in confidence,
as far back as January. Now it was
reality. The result is, or ought to
be that the allies may fall back
here and cede ground there, but SLOW
ly and surely Hindenburg's armies,
must dwindle, while the allied forces
grow. Fighting men from the U. S. A.
are pouring in. And despite the
worst which may yet happen, to
quote a square-jawed American

Gods world can save the Boches

The British have taken some hard
knocks during the past year and have
gone up against some bitter disap-
but there is not one who
does not get mad as a wet hen if
anybody suggests the allies are los

Rumors Of Offensive.

About this time rumors OF great
German offensive against the west
front began to take form. The Rus
sian collapse had become practically
complete and front which had re-
quired seventy-six German divisions
20 hold down disappeared. Even at
the time of Cambria, German divi-
sions were arriving from Russia and
from that moment on the kaisers
armies in the west grew bigger and
| bigger.
A little over a year ago there
We're but 12S German divisions on
the western battlefield. By February
of this year these had grown to 1S1.
Only fifty-five divisions were left in
Russia, two others being in the
BALKANS and three in Italy a total

| Why the Y. NJ G. A. must raise
more than 10O,0o0,00o during its ma
| tion-wfde campaign in the fall to main
tain war activities here and overseas,
| is outlined in a statement received by
General Secretary Fred Miller Of the
Keokuk Young Mems Christian Assoc
citation. The statement, which is
made by Dr.. John R. Mott. general
secretary Of the national Y. M. e. A.,
who has recently returned srom his
| fifth trip into the war zone, is a conn
prehensive presentation of the aims
| of the Y. M. c.. A. in its war work
over there.
Within the first two weeks Of the
| last German offensive more than one
fourth Of the $50 foyers du soldat-
known to the American soldiers as
"Y. NJ" huts-were captured or de-
stroyed. The Y. NJ. G. A. has, it is
announced, appropriated 100000 to
REPLACE eighty-nine Of the huts and
dugouts lost by the British \. NJ. e.
A. in Flanders and Picardy.
Responsibility Great.
Tremendous responsibilities have
been shouldered upon the Y. NJ. G. A."
says DR.. Motifs statement. cit is a
marvelously comprehensive thing we
have been asked to do over there. We
have not only been sent over there
simply to represent the ministry OF
the Y. NJ c. A. as we understand 1t in
this country. That is the smallest
part Of our task.
1T would be a great thing to ex-
tend the ministry Of our association
to the men of our own country and of
those of other lands who are now in
France. but we have been asked to do
more than that-we are to represent
to all of those American sons and
brothers not only the Y. M. G. A. of
America, but we are to represent to
them and be to them for the time be-
ing the American home. and tnYs is
a trem endous responsibility.
let me give you additional reasons
why we need so much money to con.
tinue our war work.

Why Money Is Needed.

THE first reason is that we are the
only agency able to do this work on
any adequate scale. We had to do
over there to large extent, what
twelve or fourteen agencies are try
ing to do on this side Of the Atlantic.
The second reason is that over
there the forces are scattered. Over
here we are familiar with the great
cantonments where 10000 or 10000
Or 10000 men are massed in each. You
will find in France a division OF less
than 10000 scattered in thirty to
sixty villages. l heard of two divi-
sions that had arrived in France and
the association had only one secretary

These soldiers are billited in small

WITH TIT BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, July lon this front
three big things loom up out of the
year which began the middle of last
summer and ended the middle OF
/ this:
Haig's offensive in Flanders and at
| Cambria.
The decision to brigade Americans
with the British.
The German offensive.
Each will have large place IN
the history of this war.
Although at that time there was
no such thing as a generalissimo on
the western front, there was some
thing approaching unity of COM
mand, and it had been agreed be-
tween British and French that GER
tain general policies should be fol-
lowed in the allied offensive of 1917.
Without going into detail, the tactics
of the Franco-British commanders
were almost precisely those of Hin
denburg and Ludendorff this year.
That is. an offensive was to be
turned loose in a particular place,
and if this came TO a standstfll an
other offensive should be got under
way as quickly as possible some
where else.
Arras Fight Starts.
So, on April 9, 1917, the battle OF
Arras began. A few days later the
French attacked between scissors
and Rheims. The storming of Mes
this the push in Flanders and the
drive against Cambria.
The Flanders offensive was aimed
against the high ground east and
northeast of Ypres, against Pas
schendaele, Roulers and the U-boat
bases on the Belgian coast Had
these been taken, Germany's position
in Belgium would have been pre-
carious and her whole northern flank
menaced.
But Haig played in usual British
luck: The weather was abominable.
Flanders became a quagmire. There
were days when some of the finest
men who ever pushed a
bayonet failed to reach their obJec-
tives only because it was a physical
to cross the bog.
OF course, progress was hopelessly
retarded, losses were heavy and the
season ended with the
mans were not seriously incom-
NODDED. On the other hand, British |
troops, who had to fight rain and
mud quite as much as the other |
were very tired.
Still, after a pause, the Cambria |
was sprung on the Ger. |
mans. And this was a surprise, the |
Germans themselves notwithstand- |
ng. Personally, l believe the war |
night have been ended there and |
hen had the allies not been dog |
ired at the end of long, hard cam
,aign, instead of being at the start /
md fresh. For the tanks, hundreds /
If them, broke completely through !
before the panic-stricken enemy re-
llized what was going on. In front
# the British infantry lay Cambria
md the wide-open country. All that I
vas needed was a strong, fresh army
o exploit the breach. The whole |,
German front might have been
oiled up.
But and that's the whole
tory the men were tired and
heir ranks thin and, not being
trong enough to push on, had, ten
lays later, to withdraw out of dan
,erous salient.

Communications Broken.

Another reason is the broken
down means of communication All
the French railroads are worn out
/ saw the splendid double line Amer
lea has stretched almost across
France, and / saw what America is
trying to do with some of the French
roads. But If We had not established
our own transport system we would
not be in Cos places now We have
our own canton cad our own automo-
bile service.
But 1 suppose the great reason
why we will spend anything that Is
needed is because of the extreme de-
votion of these men. One of the boys
said to me, I have had it out with
death That is true of every Amer
lean boy. They have thought the
thing through and are ready to pay
the extreme price and that is what
has put the strain of grandeur in every
one of these boys"

Would MORTGAGE All,

ton. He or she would be saying, 'You
have got to get down to the unit 800.
and not stop with serving large units
of 1000 or more.
Another reason why we need large
sums of money is the constant shift
ing that is being done over there. In
six months one division of our army
had to shift four times-was put in
five different positions. That means
greatly increased expense. In this
case it meant opening up huts in
thirty different villages successfully
for five times or a total of $50 vii.
