TO WEIGH BABIES
AT ST.. .ELIZABETH'S

A new welfare station for the weigh
ing and measuring Of babies will be
opened at st. Elizabeth's school tomor-
row afternoon. The women OF that
parish are anxious TO learn how the
children under 5 years OF age are IN
regard to their growth and health and
have promised the workers or the
Women's Committee OF the state De
fense Council to cooperate In every
way.
The Welfare Stations this week have
experienced a large number OF return
visits from mothers with babies VINO
have been weighed and measured. In
most Instances the babies have become
m and the mothers lave come TO the
stations TO consult with the nurses rel
alive 10 treatment for the child.
The Importance Of not weaving chill
dren al this season. Is being impressed
on the mothers Of this city by the Well
fare Workers. There was an object
lesson IN this. this week. A mother
came to a station with her babe tna
she weaned a few weeks ago. Sne
was now feeding the babe hard food
and giving Il quantities Of tea. because
the child liked the tea.
The baby was constantly losing
weight. and the mother wanted 10
know what 10 do about it. The nurse
told the mother where she had done
wrong in weaving the baby and adj
vised a diet suitable.
The weighing and measuring cam
paign In the down State counties IS
proceeding very satisfactorily. In all
the larger towns stations have been
opened and both lay and professional
workers are rounding up the children
under 1--WE years Of age and having rec
ords Of their health made through the
weighing and measuring tests.

LONDON, July is-Foch was pre-
pared
That in a nutshell explains why the
German drive In the Champagne was
stopped on It's ilrst day.
Not only did the allied generallsslmo
meet the onslaught OF the Huns man
for man and blow for blow, showing
that his remarkable military foresight
had anticipated just where the blow
would fall. but he demonstrated that
he has mastered Hindenburg and Lu-
dendorff IN the art OF massed attacks
In their Offenslves Of March. April
and May the Germans succeeded IN
gaining ground at terrific costs for two
reasons-the allies were two armies
and the new Hlndenburg system Of
launching wave after wave Of SHOCK
troops at their junction point almost
overwhelmed them.
Now the allies are one army, under
one command-the greatest army the
world has ever known. There II nc
conflict OF authority; what Foch says
goes. Never again will they be caught
by surprise and be compelled 10 fal
back for distances Of 30 or 40 miles
Foch has learned that by masslng his
reserves behind the front and throwing
them In for a counter-atiack almost a
the beginning Of the assault. the Ger
man strategy can be out-generaled.
Artillery Makes Gains.
There was a difference between IN,
drive this week and those OF the spring
Hlndenburg struck the French anC
American lines at the point where h'
thought they were weakest. Just as III
did In March. But he used a much
smaller mass Of troops. all reports from
the front indicating that such gains al
he made were accomplished by the en-
plOyment Of a pulyerizing drumfre oi
heavy artillery which reduced the ALLIED
positions on the front line 10 ruins.
This forced the French and American.
10 fall back for few miles, but as soor
as the German bombardment slackenec
and the infantry attacked. they were
met by a murderous storm Of shrapne
and maehlne-gun fire that held them
like a stone wall.
All the small German gains. then
were accomplished by artillery, and no'
by infantry assaults.
Had Hlndenburg found the allied line
as weak as he found 10 In March and IN
June, he probably would have thrown
IN his reserves and attempted a repeti-
tlon OF the ground gaining tactics OF
his previous drives. But the great Foch
surprised him. and the Germans i'm

Want SUPPLIES FOR
AUTtTRUCK HOSPITALS
Red Cross Calls on Will
mington to do its Share
in Equipping Them
CARRY 200 BEDS IN
EACH TRUCK TRAIN

Wilmington is asked to be ready with
autochir supplies. An autochlr is the
very latest in war terms. and is the
name invented for the new American
Red Cross train OF eighteen camions lor
auto trucks. which carries in knock
down form a tent hospital OF 200 beds.
The FIRST syllable needs no explanation I;
the "chir" is from the word "chirurgl-
cal" a foreign way Of saying "surgi-
cal" The word is pronounced auto
kerr"
One truck transports a complete
operating room ready to be bolted to-
gether and put into operation in a few
minutes. Its trailer is a sterihzing
room which is backed up against the
operating room structure. From this
trailer the nurse passes sterilized in
struments and supplies 10 the surgeons
around the operating table. The other
trucks carry double tenting, sturdy
framework, floors in sections, window
frames. heating stoves and full equip
ment for diet kitchens. Red Cross con-
struction crews specially selected and
trained for this work go with the
trucks and within a very short time
after the first truck reaches the Sc
lected point the wards are ready 10
receive patients.
The Red Cross has discovered that
some Of the American boys sent TO
French hospitals, not recognizing the
language. thought they had been cap
tured and were in German hands. More
serious was the inability OF the boys
TO describe symptoms 10 doctors and
nurses who spoke only French. In case
Of immediate necessity for operation,
the consequences were sometimes
grave.
The American Red Cross has now as
signed one OF its nurses. and an aide
who speaks both French and English,
TO every French hospital 10 attend 10
the reception and care OF every Ameri-
can taken to the French institutions.
II the nurse cannot speak French her
aide interprets for the French hospital
staff The aide also attends TO corre-
spondence for our wounded. The nurse
and aide visit every American patient
frequently TO give treatment. cheer him
up. attend to his correspondence, or TO
explain his needs 10 the French attend
ants. This plan has worked so well
that the Service de Sante, the Medical
Department Of the French Government,
has requested the Red Cross TO have
ready such teams TO place in every hos
pital receiving American men.

AFTER NEW TRUCKS
TO HAUL GARBAGE
Contractor Healy Says He
Will Have Fleet of Eleven
tanks" Soon
ADMITS CONGESTION
EXISTS ABOUT CITY

Sylvester Healy. who has the con-
tract for the collection OF Wilmington
garbage today stated that drivers yes
terday left the garage OF the Whining
ton Automobile Company for Detroit,
where they will get eight new General
Motor Company three-ton trucks to be
used in hauling garbage. The trucks
will be driven to Wilmington and Will
be put in service as soon as they ar
rive, Mr.. Healy said. Seven trucks are
being used today in hauling garbage,
the contractor said, and six were
used yesterday. Some Of the emer-
gency trucks he had hired are old and
break down repeatedly, Mr.. Hesly said,
and that fact and the scarcity OF labor
have interfered with garbage removal
from properties about the city. With
the arrival Of the eight new trucks,
eleven trucks will be kept in regular
service, the contractor says.
There Is no use denying that In some
parts Of the city the garbage situation
is bad and there is a congestion" said
Contractor Healy, but we are moving
Il as fast as we can move II under the
circumstances. ! predict that by this
day next week all the garbage will have
been removed and the situation will be
relieved"
Secretary Cahill, Of the Board OF
Health, who has been kept busy tabu-
lating the reports OF non-collectiOn OF
garbage, has remained calm during the
deluge Of complaints and has treated
those who call personally or by phone
with every consideration. Yesterday
2sO complaints were fled by house
holders.
Members OF City Council last night
referred TO the garbage muddle In an
Informal manner and It was intimated
that the matter would be discussed at
their session this evening. The Coun-
cilmen have given II out that they do
not expect to pass the monthly appro-
priation for the garbage collection. on
the ground that the award OF an
eleven-months' contract was Illegal.
The contract entered into by the city
with the d. B. Martin Company, who
have charge Of the disposal Of VIII
mington garbage, calls for the deliv-
cry OF all garbage at the crematory.
The company claims IL Is not receiving
all the garbage collected and the csm-
pany make complain TO Council about
Il.
The Federal Government. II also is
understood. has had the local garbage
situation called 10 its attention and
orders have been issued relative to
what shall be done at the local plant
insofar as the garbage collected Is con-
cerned. 10 is stated today that por-
ton Of the tankage secured here Is be
ing used at a plant under Government

Army surgeons In examining the
feet of more than a million men as
tonished the world when it was an
nounced that about 75 per cent of the
feet of grown people are defective or
abnormal Many of these men were
disqualified for military service on
account of this physical defect.
For Comfort Week, which will be
celebrated throughout the length and
breadth of the land during the week
of June II to 22, is intended to put
the feet of America in first class

eliminate all classes of foot troubles.
During that week practically every
