Guiscard. These points, which are at
the tip Of the Teutonic attack, a.,
more than ten miles from the front
as it stood March 21.
Military observers discern in the
scheme Of the German attack a repcti-
ton Of the German "pinccr" system of
attack, which was used by Won Mack
cnscn in Russia, Roumania and Scr
Dla. This attack consists Of two at
tacks some distance apart, which af-
ter progressing to some depth, turn
toward each other, compelling the
forces caught between them to fall
back or be in danger Of capture.
The British have forcsccn this
danger and have met il by first check
ing. then forcing the northern jaw of
the pincer southwark, while they have
dropped back on the center and have
not fallen into the German trap. The
pressure Of the defenders OF The
Sommc front sccmSIO be bonding the
whole German attack TO the south
where ii is hoped its force will be dis
sipatcd.
The French positions Joined the
British 10 the south OF St. Quentin
but there have been no rcports show
ing that the French have fallen back
from their advanced positions. On
the othcr hHNd, reports would indicate
that the original French lines now
virtually ontllank tho advancing Ger
mans along the Disc river.
In the meantime the British stratc-
~ seems TO be devoted To the task of
meeting the attack so that it is di-
rcctcd no longer straight at tho line.
but is diverted toward the CiSc. where
the German advance has been most
rapid.
French troops have taken over see
tors Of the front and have released
here units for work farther north
Berlin states that Americans have
also Joined in the fighting but moth
ing has as yet been officially reported
on this point.
The fall Of Bcpaumc, in the early
hours OF Monday, was q blow TO the
British, but il was the result Of a de-
termination TO fall back slowly all
along the line that is being attacked
Official reports state that repeated
heavy attacks on Bapaumc were beat
en- off by the British who also forced
the Germans back across the Sommc
at q number OF points, only to fall
back when the safe retreat OF the main
body Of the army had been assured.
While the German wedge is still
moving. its progress is not alarming
ly rapid. as it was in the first rush
OF the TcutOnlc hordcs. The yielding
line, it is assorted has absorbed the
impetus Of tho shock and has wealth

THE EFFICIENT
ORGANIZATION

An example of how great organ
ization is made effective by the firm
stand of the men at the helm Is
found in the work of President Kos
ter of the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce.
His practical and courageous way
of thinking has made its impression
for sound business conditions in the
affairs Of that state and has been
felt by all the states in the west.
He demands that prominent and
active business men go to the bat
and play fair ball with capital and
labor, never losing sight of the fact
that without adherence to law and
/ order society goes into chaos.
In recent statement he hit the
nail on the head: 80 many men
who might make themselves worth
while influences fail to realize their
own obligation. They are prone to
look upon commercial organizations
as things apart from themselves"
They entirely overlook the fact
that those who give themselves uI
for service In and through such o..
ganizations are ordinary human be
'ings like themselves.
"Such organizations are instru
ments Of value only to the degree
that they represent the affirmative
attitude and influence Of the indivi
duals who compose them"
The fact remains that only under
good leadership does the organization
become a power and contribute t.
the enlightenment of the communit,
upon matters of general practical ad
vantage.
No greater Influence was ever ere
ated to hold community terdencie
to true American course than tn
