For some time the local officers
have been given information of

visits to Nogales, Arizona, return
ing to the Sonora side of the
line after an hour or so. Usually
they came across in the early
hours of the morning; and they
were in their'shitsleeves always,
while on their return to- Sonora
an hour later they wore coats and
vests, And upon occasion they
had taken back suiteases. So it
was decided that when they ap-
peared on the American side of
the line they were to be arrested
as suspicious characters.

Charles Lopez was informed that
two of the trio had cross

officer went to the place designat-

The man crossed Morley Ave-

PLAN NEW DRIVE
FOR FUNDS FOR
Y.M.C.A. WORK
WORD BROUGHT BY MRS.
MARSH, JUST RETURNED
Sre Has been Attending a Meet.
ing of the War Work Coun-
Gil in Texas.

Yesterday Mrs. Marsh retur'
ned from the conference of the
War Work Council for tn G
Southwestern District, embrace
ing the six states Of Louisiana,
Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma.
New Mexico and Arizona, held
at San Antonio last Saturday.
To a representative of TIE
Oasis Mrs. Marsh stated that
there were present at the confer
ence some 500 delegates, and
that it was a most serious minded
and determined gathering of
representative men and women
Of the six states named.
The conference was called by
Mr.. John Mott of New York,
who is general secretary Of the
Young Mems Christian Associat-
ion, and has returned but recently
from a visit over there, and
he came with a message to the
American people of the seri-
BUSINESS and Importance Of the
great work of the Y. NJ. C. A.,
in furthering and extending the
morale and effectiveness Of the
American soldier in France.
The conference was addressed
by some of the most noted men
Of the day, and some of them
were particularly impressive and
eloquent, notably so that of Doc
tor Mott, and the speech of Gen.
eral Holbrook, commanding the
Southern Military District. The
burden of the themes was the
seriousness and gravity of the
situation in Europe, and the need
of American soldiers, together
with all the great influences for
good that the people of the
United States are throwing about
their heroic legions on the other
side of the Atlantic.
A new drive for funds for the
Y. M. C. A., will begin in Sep
tember, and the sum sought to
be raised is $2O1, 900. 900, which |
is about double that raised in the
last drive. Arizona will be called
onlfor 1O%, or $2O1, 600. The
quotas of the various states and
communities are based upon their
returns to the Third Liberty
Loan. In that Arkansas and
Arizona exceeded their allotment
very greatly; and now the Ar
kansas delegates at the confer
ence last Saturday pledged their |
state to go over their present

man into custody and holding
him until Officer Lopez came
through from Morley Avenue.
The captured fugitive was lod-
ged in the town Jail, where he is
at this time. He gave the name
of Antonio Pineda.
The belief of the officers is that
the man is wanted somewhere,
but they find no resemblance
between photographs of criminals
wanted and the man in custody.

allotmant for the Y. M. c. A.,
which exceeds $4,000.
In concluding her statement
Mrs. Marsh said that the key
note of the conference was that
the delegates should return home
with a message to their friends
and neighbors of the real impor-
tance of the work in hand.

some thirty-five have been sent in from
the reserve. making a total Of about
fifty up to date.
This must mean that the Crown Prince
is getting to the end Of his share of
the battle reserves and that the future
development of the battle on any large
scale turns on whether Hindenburg will
allow him to call on his northern neigh
bor Prince Rupprecht, for REINFORCE
ment, in order to continue the pressure
from scissors in the direction Of Paris
or whether Prince Rupprecht himself
will intervene with a fresh attack on
another part of the front.
The real German objective is almost
certainly neither Paris nor Amiens. but
Foch's reserves.
This is in accordance with one of the
main principles which Moltke taught. a
principle which has been thoroughly
observed in modern German military
thought To the German General STAFF.
towns. even capitals, are means to an
end, the end being the destruction of
the enemy's main forces in the field.
1t was this principle which led, in
September. 1914. to Won Kluck's sweep
eastward from in front of Paris and his
attempt to strike at the flank Of Fochs
army. This, in turn, led to the victory
of the Marne, because the Germans, over
rating the extent of their first successes,
were not strong enough to carry through
their ambitious program. and Joffre
and Foch, waiting for the chance,
pCunced on it when it came.
The situation remains grave. but We
may be certain that Foch is fully alive
to it's gravity, is aware of all that the
enemy may attempt, and is still nursing
his reserves for the crisis of the battle.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1918-06-03

enorts on the rapid repair OF these
lines.
The new battlefront covers an area
in which almost every name is ia
miliar to our old army. 1t was about
Noyon that Sir Horace Smith.Dor-
rien's second corps obtained it's first
real if brief rest after the battles
of Mons and lie Bateau, and marched
from Noyon southwark by Cuts.
Bleancourt and Audignicourt, all
names now appearing in the communi.
ques, to the Aisne at Vic and Attichy,
while Sir Douglas Hais's first corps
crossed at Scissors and Fontenoy,
both on the present fighting front.
The northern battlefield between
Noyon and scissors consists partly
of the outskirts of the great forest of
Compiegne and partly of an open and
high plateau, separating the valleys
OF the Oise and the Aisne. This pla.
teau is comparatively waterless. as
we found, when crossing it in August,
1914. and this must add to the diff.
culties of our French comrades on
this part of the front.
Just behind the immediate scene
of the present struggle stretch from
the Disc to the Ourcq the forests Of
Compiegne and Villers Cotteret
through both of which we marched
in retreat.
Forests Valuable as Screen
Immediately to the south of the fores,
of Compiegne lies Neuilly. where Bat.
terry Z won undying fame and the Fourth
German cavalry division was roughly
handled by our cavalry, leaving eight
Of its guns in our hands.
1t was in the forest of Villers-Cottere,
that the Irish guards became for the
first time in their history seriously en-
gagged. their gallant colonel, George Nor
rs, falling at their head. Both forest!
