LUKE M'LUKE SAYS


Another good bet is that you'll
never get to the front if you depend
on your friends to push you there.
No matter how hard of hearing
woman may be, she is never deaf to
flattery.
A chronic borrower may fool your
sense Of sight, but you will soon de-
tect him by the sense of touch.
Why is it that the faster a man is
the longer it takes him to get home at
night?
Men are all alike. They will give
away something they have no use for
and then expect lot of praise for
their liberality.
An old man is just about as anx-
ious to conceal his ignorance as a
young man is to display his know
ledge.
Almost any dub Of a woman can
manage a husband. But it takes a
mighty able man to manage a wife.
No man objects to seeing skinny,
flat-chested girl in a decollette gown.
What he objects to is seeing so much
of her out of it.
Wouldn't you like to have all the
money you have dropped in trying to
pick up more? So would we, brother,
so would we.
The kind of man who is always
squawking because his money doesn't
go a long way is usually the same
fellow who won't let it go at all.

Our Strength
May Render
Decisive Blow
BY w. T. Mason.
written for the United Press.)

written for the United Ffess.)
New York, March 29.-By re-
straining further movements of Ger
many's first reserve troops across
France, Americas increasing mill
tary strength Alsace-Lorraine border
is exerting what may prove to be a
decisive influence upon the progress
of Hindenburg's attack against the
Anglo-French lines.
The key to the situation now con-
fronting Hindenburg, Haig and Pc
tain is the question Of reserves. Both
sides must depend for renewal of
activity upon fresh reinforcements.
If Hindenburg we're able to bring up
more troops and slaughter them in
large numbers as further sacrifice
to the Hohenzollerns, the situation
along the west front would cause
much anxiety. There are German
reserves ready for such a purpose
concentrated at Metz and in the west.
1t would be fatal, however, for
Hindenburg to draw upon them If
they we're to vanish, the road to the
Rhine would be made into an easy
passage for General Pershing. Were
it not for the American armies now
in Eastern France, and the first ar
irving American reinforcements,
there would be nothing to prevent
Hindenburg from throwing at least
quarter Of million men into the
western combat at this critical mo-
ment.
Americas part in the war on ma
jor scale, therefore, has already be-
gun to be played, though in silence
and without any large activity.
Hindenburg cannot push much far
ther forward to a decision against
France and England without risking
the capture of the Rhine this summer
by the American armies. That is the
principal reason why heavy German
reinfOrcements are no longer being
hurled against the British and French
fronts.
! The initiative in the combat is now
passing to General Haig. His report
today of captures of German prise.
ners and guns is the most satisfactory
news that has come from the allies
since the battle began, one week ago
1t may be too early yet to look for
an allied counter attack in force, but
the way is being prepared for it by
the new local offensives which the
British are developing.
