Six months ago the Germans
in masSed 5attalions started a
drive which was to result in
victory for them and end the
war. Today they are fighting
a desperate battle of defense
and it is not much exaGeeration
to add making a race with the
Allied Armies to see which
shall get to Berlin first. Day
after tomorrow another big
drive will start here in the
United States for funds neccs~
sary to carry on the War-to
make lasting and complete Sue
cess OF our fight for freedom Of
the world. Let there be no
hesitency. As the droWnina
man drasps at straWs, sois the
enemy looking for signs Of
weakness so the kaiser and
his war lords seek something
with which to bolster up the
weakening morale Of their pco-
pie. Don't let them have even
the SembIance Of a straw at
which to grasp. Do your bit,

Mir. Brill went further and said that the men were well satisfied with their jobs and would remain working des- bite any outside influence brought to bear upon them.
 The only new development in the situation up to 1 o'clock this after noon was the fact that a number of the smaller shops were able to work today although union officials declar- ed that even though a shop grant the demands of the men it must remain closed until all the shops agree to grant a minimum wage for machin- ists.
 At the Bullard plants 1t was stated today that the men have all remained on the job and have announced their determination to stick not alone be- cause their International has decreed the strike outlawed, but because it would be disloyal for them to strike at this time while they are working on guns for Pershing's army in France.

 A report which started last night and spread like wild fire throughout the city today persistently states that martial law will in all probability be declared either Monday or Tuesday. One thing is certain and that is that the officials of the government de- partments here are very active and have prepared for any emergency that might arise.
 When inquiry was made today as to what effect martial law would have upon the city it was learned that in the first place the order would come from the Headquarters of the De- partment of the East, Governors Is- land, New York, and that the military force sent would be from outside the state.
 The first move would be to close all saloons and issue strict instructions regarding the time of night when everyone must be inside his or her house. Regulations regarding the holding of meetings and conferences would be drawn and every law breaker would be held liable to a mil itary court.

 Gen. Mangin has in his command some of the finest American divisions, together with elite French and CO., lonial troops. The fighting during the last 48 hours has equalled in ferocity anything yet seen during the war.
 Nevertheless the enemy had to give way and the Franco-American forces have won half the plateau between the Soissons and Coucy le Chateau The Soissons-Coucy and the soissons- Anizy--Le Chateau roads are threat ened and the Germans are faced by the danger of the French getting be- hind Chemin des Danes in their rear.
 Conservative military opinion here views the situation with great satis- faction. It is felt that the Germans delayed their retreat too long and they are fighting so hard and sacrifice ing men to gain time because the Hin. denburg line is not yet ready. In any case that famous position is not be- lieved to be such solid rampant as 1t was when first made a year ago, when the works were new and we'll kept up and were garrisoned by solid troops with unimpaired morale. They now are a formidable obstacle, but every- thing depends on the condition that they are in and the state of the troops which will fall back into them.
