WASHINGTON WONDERS
ABOUT GERMAN DRIVE
Military Men Are Beginning to Ask II
Boche's Movements Are Sham
Preparations.
MAY HAVE ABANDONED IDEA.
Austrian Debacle, Failure OF the Sub
marine Campaign, Cry for Bread
Stuff, and Steady Advance of Amer
leans Regarded as Causes.

Washington, July 12.--Are the Ger
mans. after all, afraid to make an
other test OF strength on the western
front?
The question grows in volume In
Washington these days, as time passes
and the expected enemy offensive
fails to develop Military men are
beginning to ask If the boche's many
movements behind the line are not
sham Preparations.
Baffled thus far in every effort to
pick "A weak spot in the allied west
ern front, the Germans. it is thought
by some of the experts at the war de-
partment, may have abandoned all
idea of another drive.
To this thought are contributed the
Following considerations, regarded as
highly pertinent to the situation:
]. The Austrian debacle. by plac-
ing Austria on an uneasy defensive,
has undoubtedly robbed the kaiser of
many reinforcements from the Italia n
front which he had expected to use
in his new drive.
2. The failure of the submarine
campaign has been brought home to
the enemy in the realization not only
that the American forces have been
carried to France a great deal faster
than was thought possible, but that
such large numbers of them have
taken their place in the line as to
stiffen materially the allied resistance.
3. That the Austrian cry for bread
has spread from the civil population
to the army and that disaffection in
that direction leaves the German
army threatened in the rear with a
new danger.
There is even a disposition in many
mi a -SF I.It
tables have been so far turned that
Foch might himself take the initia-
tive before the summer is over. Alto
gether there Is an atmosphere of
steadily growing satisfaction in the
situation from the allied stand point
on the other hand, dispatches to the
French embassy quoting German
opinion contained in the German
press, show clearly the growing ap-
prehension that exists in the enemy
country on account of the unexpected
assistance furnished the allies by the
United States
The Bund, at Berne, publishes the
views of Stegemann, the Germano-
phile military critic. whose arrogant
assurance of German victory has been
succeeded by different tone. He Is
quoted in the dispatches to the en-
bassy as saying graveIy:
II the war does not end in 1918,
N Is no longer possible to assign a
term to It either from political or
military point of view. The allies are
awaiting the battle with growing con-
fidence. They still have reserves at
their disposal ard the multi .tude of
American endorsements supplies
them with moral guarantees"
In regard 10 the importance of this
aid. Stegemann is obliged to confess
that his last estimates have already
been exceeded.
we estimated" he wrote, the
Americans a 50o,00e fighting men.
We are Obliged to add that these fig
ures are rapidly rising. The first mil
lion have already arrived. The most
difficult problem consists in prepar-
! ing this mass for mobile warfare"

BYRD Is IN WASHINGTON
TO ADJUST FUEL MATTER

state Fuel Administrator Byrd left
for Washington yesterday TO take up
with Administrator Garfield the mat
ter of the transportation OF coal from
the fields of Pocahontas and New
River to New England manufactur
ing towns This has been done in
spite of the fact that Mr.. Byrd had
been given to understand by Wash
!ngton that this practice would be
discontinued.
This coal is not for bunker pur-
poses If it were, Virginia would sur
render her last right. but she does
not feel that she should be expected
to make sacrifices in the interest OF
New England when 1t comes to fuel
for manufacturing purposes.
About $50 carloads of coal from
these two sections are being shipped
every day TO Hampton Roads and
thence by boat to New England.

HIGH-HEEL SHOD
U. S STATES WOMEN
ARE CALLED LOAFERS

American women, speaking gener-
ally, were declared to be "loafers,"
struggling along in high-heeled
shoes and unable to work even if
they wanted to" by DR.. Esther Love-
joy, former Health Commissioner of
Portland, Oregon, in an address to
the Medical Women's National Asso-
citation in Chicago few days ago.
while the women of France and
England are staggering along over
there under the awful loads imposed
by the war, the women of America
are going about in high-heeled
shoes, wanting to be entertained by
the story of the conflict" she said.
DR.. Lovejoy, who has just return
ed from a six months visit to France,
declared that the women of Germany
made possible the progress of the
war, FOR" she said, "if the women
of Germany had lain down their arms
and ceased doing the work of the
men the war would have been over
long since.
Here the big thing for the
women is to replace the men in order
that our full man power may be sent
to the aid of our Allies. The south
land is crying for harvest hands, a
splendid place for the women golf
ers and tennis players, for we only
have to be as good as our grand
mothers who made this great land
for us to loaf in.
"If the women of America would
wear winter clothing in winter there
would be no call for fuelless Mon
days, and this is one of the ways in
which the women of America can
help win the war. But, no; they sit
around in clothing fit only for the
hot dog days and burn tons of coal
to keep them warm, thus wasting
coal to preserve the dictates of a
fashion"
