FILLING Minds
OF GERMANS FOR
BIG RETREAT
Some Journals Accuse
Troops of Non-resistance
Others Deny it Feebly. :

Washington. Aug: 21.-Psycholog-
zeal conditions In Germany are de-
scribed in an official dispatch from
Berne. switzerland, received here, in
a diplomatic quarter. According to
the dispatch, which Is backed by quo
tations from German newspapers. the
German people are in a state Of pro-
ment is endeavoring to counteract.
The dispatch follows:
1.-THE effort Of the German oficial
press bureau to take public opinion In
hand does not appear to have sue
ceeded. It seems to have aggravated
rather than attenuated the crisis of
moral depression to which Germany
is prey.
1.-The general tension apparently Is
very high, inasmuch as the papers
now are publishing e~xhortations for
courage and calm. The Internation-
al correspondent implores the work
ing classes not to demand peace at a
moment when the future appears SO
uncertain. Vorwarts tragfcally asks
If they wish to see Germany reduced
to the same state as Russia. A..
German general headquarters has
deemed dt necessary to invite the
press to open a campaign to prepare
public opinion for an eventual re-
treat. Statements of this kind are be-
ing multiplied. They recall persist
entity the fortunate results Of the
great strategical retreat, Of Linden
burg in March. 1917.
THE Deutsche Zeitung, which
often Is inspired by military circles.
declares there should be no astonish-
ment If by a vast maneuver the Ger
man rn1 gives up some territory In
the north and south OF the present
battle front. General Won Ardenpe
expresses the same thought. 1t can
not be known, however. owing to the
use L~udendorff frequently makes of
the press. IL this hint Ia intended to
announce or dissimulate the plans of
the high command. These campaigns
are rim reality at one moment UNDER
and at another for the benefit Of the
exterior. But 1t il. certain that the
German public mind 10 disturbed.
"The German newspapers no longer
devote more thaa a few Insignificant
lines to the var news. An article in
the Deutsche Zeitung accusing the
troops Of having fallen back almost
without resistance appears to have
made a considerable impression. The
while pretending to contradict 1t, con-
firm the defeats which the article
points out.
1.-THE correspondent of the Neuve
Balische Lundes Zeitung. who is often
we'll informed, goes az far as to fore
sec that q general retreat will be
necessary. similar to that which Lu-
dendorff effected in the spring Of last
year, to escape a pressing danger.
The press is far. from these great
hopes, which were conceived before
the March attack, when the whole
nation was over-excited by propagan-
da which convinced the people that
the var would end by a triumphant
succesa IN July or August" !

"GIVE A DOLLAR,
GET A DOLLAR"
CLUBS FORMED

"Give a dollar, get a dollar clubs
for the benefit of the Floernce Crit
tenden mission are in process of or
ganization through the state, and
through this means the directors of
the mission hope to raise in the
neighborhood of 100000. This money
is needed, for the erection of a new
building to house the nursery and
school of The institution. These clubs
are making an appeal to women of
the state to assist in the work Of this
institution, and since each one is being
asked for but a small amount, so far
the response has been very. satisfac-
tory. y
The club movement was inaugural
ed some weeks ago in the western
part of the state, the idea being that
every person who gives a dollar is
pledged to get a dollar, and through
this friendly chain, the majority of
the women In the state are to be
reached it is hoped.
In many counties of the state chair
men have been appointed to take the
work in hand and the campaign is
proving successful.

GOVERNMENT is
LIBERAL WITH
ARMY NURSES

If more graduate nurses would
learn the particulars Of government
service. and/find out how reasonable
are the demands, there would be no
more hesitancy about entering the
service. Miss Mabel Mckay Of the
St. Paul Red Cross says. The gov
eminent, she says. is extremely lib
eral with its army nursing corps and
from an economic standpoint many
nurses have reported that the army
service has proved advantageous.
With uniforms and maintenance fur
nished by. the government and few
temptations to spend money care
lessly, they have been able to save a
larger part of their earnings than
when in private practice.

200 Miles-32 u. S. Divis-
ions Overseas.
fBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-As a re-
suit of the allied successes during the
past month the battle front in France
from Rheims to the north sea has been
reduced in length more than so miles,
General March told the newspaper
men today in his mid-week conference
When the Germans began their last
advance the line stretched for $50
miles. 1t is now less than 200 miles.
General March enumerated 80 Amer.
lean divisions as having arrived in
France. They are as follows:
LIST, I'd, Sd, 4th, 5th, 9Th, 2sth, 9th,
2Sth, 29th, 3Oth, 32d, 33d, 35th, 36th,

The success of the enlarged Ameri-
can program for the war department
General March said, still is dependent
upon the acquisition of adequate ship
ping and while the emergency fleet
corporation is constantly swelling the
tonnage at the army's disposal, it still
is necessary to charter and hire many
additional ships.
In commenting upon the shipping
situation General March divulged for
the first time the fact that Brazil had
given ship to the United States with
out compensation of any sort for two
trips. He aid that so far as he knew
this was the only case of the kind
on record.

OF EMPLOYERS
IS CONSIDERED
Committee Named by Com
mercial Club to Draw up
Constitution and Plans.

Charles MCGUIRE was appointed to
represent the Commercial club on the
Community Labor Board at a meeting
Tuesday afternoon at the Commercial
club. This board is composed of a
representative from the Commercial
club and OF the Labor Council and L.
F. Handley who is in charge of the
War Labor Board in Richmond. This
labor board is nothing but an employ
ment agency and has nothing to do
with the labor situation.
The only purpose of the meeting
was to appoint this representative
| but after the men were together il
was thought advisable to consider the
present labor situation in Richmond.
A discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY Of ef-
fecting a permanent organization OF
! employers ensued and a committee
was appointed to draw up a constitu-
ton and plans for an organization and
then submit them to called meeting
probably sometime next week.
Fred Bartel. secretary protein, made
the statement Wednesday that the
shortage of labor had caused in a
measure some trouble. There are not
enough men. for the work, which
causes shifts to be made with each
change resulting in an increase in
wage.
Bartel stated that the manufactur-
ers realize the gravity OF the present
situation and they are trying to meet
the thing with substantial increasS
and are willing to recognize just de-
mands OF labor.

Attack of French Holds Place
in Big Strategic Plans Of Foch

local operation to the first stage of
small major operation
it is held, the attack of the French
Tenth Army under Genelai Man74A
has a specific place in the larger stra-
tegic plans Of Marshal Foch
With an initial average advance of
2a miles over front of 151a miles
and the capture of 5000 prisoners, the
efforts of the French are said to be
aimed at picking" the Roye pocket
an dthe gaining of the supply lines be-
tween that city and Noyon Should
the advance continue, some officers
here see the taking by the allies of
Noyon and the breaking down Of the
German defensive line over a long
front.
Having taken the initiative, the OPP
erations Of the last few years prove
conclusively, it was said today, that
Marshal Foch does not intend to al
low the privilege Of offensive action
to pass in the least from allied hands.
Some strategists here expect this fact
to be seen soon in operations of con-
siderable magnitude in the north, es
pecially by the British army east Of
ArraS.

termined attack was made on the
police and military at Wakama and
one rioter was killed and several po-
