DECISION MUST COME
ALONG WESTERN FRONT
(By Henry Wood, United Press staff
Correspondent


WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
Feb. 10 (by maiD European military
authorities are now generally agreed
that if decisive battle is ever fought
in the present war, it must De fought
on the western front
According to them, the front in
France must ever remain the supreme.
ly important one until the very end
of the war.
By decisive battle is meant a de
feat so great that the enemy's army
is no longer capable of serious military
effort.
In the present warfare of attrition,
such a decision, it is estimated, is not
so likely to come as a result of super
Tor strategy as from some long, drawn
Somme or that of Flanders in which
the enemy's forces are gradually worn
down till the breaking point is
reached.
But even if the decisive battle comes
in this manner, the strategists insist
! that it still can only come on the front
| in France If such be the case
American troops may yet have the OPP
portunity of participating in the great
est and most important battle in the
world.
Germany's central position, accord
| ing to the strategists, gives her adj
vantages in the matter of strategy and
quick railway communication that rem
der it impossible for the allies to
meet her on any of the other fronts
According to the strategists, strate-
gy is very simple thing-to under
stand. It's underlying principle is
merely that of concentrating the max
imum force on the front where the en-
emy's defeat will be attended with the
most decisive results.
Unfortunately, however, an army
not only has to be concentrated but it
has also to be fed, watered, clothed
and furnished with arms and NUM-
tons. The all important question of
where the big strategic concentration
is to be made is therefore largely de-
pendent upon which side possesses the
quickest and most lines of railways
end communications with which to
keep the army in fighting trim.
And it is from this all-important
point of view that Germany possesses
an insurmountable advantage upon all
the fronts except that of France.
Germany's strategical advantage for
moving troops to and from the various
fronts, is shown by the following CON-

Industrial Centres
May Furnish Labor
For Food Production

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The United
States Employment Service will rely
upon each locality, so far as posi-
he, to supply the labor needed for
inducing the nations food crops this
simmer. If more helpers are required
il any locality they will be obtained
fsom the surplus of workers in in
dnstrial centres. In the mobilization
and distribution Of both classes of labor
the farmers will have the fullest CO.
operation of the service without ex-
pense to themselves.
Preparations for sending special
agents into North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, the first states making urgent
appeals for assistance in recruiting
darn workers. we're announced to-day
by A. l. Barkman, chief of the farm
service division.
: The service also will aid in supply
Ing labor for the sugar beet district in
Colorado and the cotton section in
the Imperial Valley of California,
where growers report shortage Of men.
Many Mexcans, formerly employed for
such work, have returned to their
native land because of misunderstand-
lngs regarding the draft law.
Increased requests for men are ex-
pected from the East and New England
as the season progresses. The Central
West apparently is better off for farm
workers than other sections. due to
the smaller number of factories.
Surplus of workers in the East is at
trbuted to the fact that many thou
sands of men unskilled in industrial
work attracted to factory centres have
been unable to find jobs. Many came
from the farms and now seek to re-
turn.
Higher wages than ever paid before
ior farm labor are expected to be a
fruitful aid in the back to the farm"

divorce Suit Starts
Chain Of Charges
Conspiracy, Libel and Aliena-
ton of Affections Involved
in kastel Action

Charges of conspiracy. libel and
alienation of affections arc involved in
the divorce action which Philip L.
kastcl, stock broker at 20 Broad
Street, filed in the Supreme Court yes
terday against Mrs. Maude Edna Kas-
tel, of 200 West Fifty-eighth Street.
Paul +. Heller, steel manufacturer
of Newark, who is mentioned in the ac-
ton, also has been made defendant in
"a suit alleging that he alienated the af-
fections of Mrs. Kastel. He has en-
tered general denial and charges con-
spiracy on the part of Mr.. and Mrs.
kastel and two of their friends.
The Kastels were married in 1910,
when the bride was seventeen years
old. She has entered denial of the
allegations made by her husband. Kas-
tel says in his action that he used to
his wife and home, and furnished Mrs.
Kastel with every luxury compatible
with her situation in life.
kastel alleges that on the night of
January - he found his wife and Hell
Ter in his home. The husband was ac-
companied by one G. Rose. The hus-
band says that Mrs. Kastel called up
j. NJ. Fitzmaurice at the Hotel Gotham
to come at once to her home. What
followed is now only limited at, but it
is said that Heller spent several days
in hospital following the alleged dis
covery made by Kastel.
Fitzmaurice, now in Florida, is the
man charged by Heller with having
suggested monetary settlement. Fitz-
maurice has instructed his lawyer to
begin $4,000 libel suit against Hell
Ter.

Juvenile Army to Aid in
Cultivating New York
City Lots
Possibilities Grow
Plots Available in the Cities
Throughout State Equal
to $1,000 Farms

The city garden movement. started
last year to encourage and increase
food production, is to blossom out on
much greater scale this year, and
New York City's juvenile army is tu
be recruited early to drill with hoes
and spades and garden rakes in the
thousands Of back lots and vacant
blocks of every borough.
The New York City garden movement
for 1918 was started yesterday at
meeting held in the auditorium of the

seventh Street, and will hcnceforth be
part and parcel Of the volunteer forces
of the food administration. New YORK
City is to have the largest branch oil

now being organized throughout the
country, if the local leaders of the
movement fulfil their plans.
NJ. York Recklaw, director of the
local city garden organization, said he
had received reports from hundreds Of
towns and cities in this state. and he
calculated that there were enough lots
and plots to make q grand total OF
100000 gardens. The land available
within city limits in this state. he said,
can be made to produce this year $201,-
100000 worth Of vegetables.
Land Equal to $500 Farms
Gone hundred city gardens will
produce as much as the average farm"
said Mr.. Recklaw, $50 that the land
available for gardens within cities and
villages Of the state is equal to $1,000
farms, and should add more than %
per cent to the states food production
if capably managed"
Mr.. Rccklaw said that careful sur
vey of vacant land in New York City
and its suburbs shows that it can raise
so per cent Of this food garden crop,
mostly on land that never before has
been cultivated.

Food Board yesterday that wholesale
