WOMEN In THE NAVY

Our American women were quite star

given the rank Of yeoman in the navy for
the work they can do in typewriting or
similar Office work.
That women can fight has been DEM
onstrsted by the so-caIIed Battalion Of
Death" or regiment of Russian women.
But so many Of our American women are
worn out, snemie and suffering from the
peculiar weakness of womankind. To
build up, strengthen and cure these weak
nesses there is nothing so good as DR..

woman's true herbal tonic. II does not
contain particle of alcohol nor anything

the German forces to drive north

tempt to drive the British forces into

French Lines Supported.
The French line is supported on
the south by a series OF fortifications
Belfort and EpinaL 1t might be pos
sible. however, for the German forces
to drive against the French line south
Of Verdun and attempt to flank Toul
by passing 1t on the northwest side.
The objection to this Is that south
ern France Is a series of plateaus
rising from the lines now held. The
Prussian leaders would be forced to
drive their attack uphill. The land
about Toul is very difficult for an of
fensive force to meet. It gives every
advantage to the defender.
Open Warfare Possible.
Further to the south is the Cham
payne sector, which is low land. and
because it has not been fought over
as the land in the north. presents pos
open HlOue OF
fighting in which the younger men
of the French forces have not had the
training that the old French army
enjoyed.
''It is also possible that the blow
may be struck from German territory
near the point where Switzerland
meets French soil. II the Germans
swept through for any great distance
at that point they might be able to
turn a considerable force OF French
soldiers into Swiss soil. They would
then raise the cry that Switzerland
was being invaded and would sweep
through that country on the pretext
Of saving it from the French invaders.
Swiss Neutrality Assured.
There is no question of the neutral
ity of the Swiss. However, It is not
comforting to think that many officers
OF the Swiss army are OF German ex-
traction and that many have married
, women from prominent German fam
lilies.
at Is not to be believed that the
Swiss will ever consent to permitting
the German army free access to the
roads of Switzerland. But should such
coup be executed by the Germans it
would mean that they would have an
opportunity to strike the French at
point the loss of which would place
great part of the entire French and
American forces in a precarious posi-
ton.
1T would appear that a blow at the
south OF France is the only move left
to the German commanders. 1t may
happen that American forces may be

The German government fears that

cipitate q German revolution. This
opinion 10 expressed by friends of
Lichnowsky's In Switzerland. They
say that the report that the Prince
Is closely guarded on his silesian
estate n buncombe. They declare
he has no intention of running
away. This comment was contained
in semi-oficial dispatches from
Switzerland received here yester-
day.
They give an immediate interest
to the Lchnowsky situation which
II hitherto lacked, despite the SEN
sationaI character of the memoir
andum in which the then German
Ambassador at London accuses hI
own government Of the deliberate
precipitation OF the world war in
July. 1914.
Huns Must Take Care.
It is recognized here that Germany
must take some steps against LAch-
nowsky for an indiscretion that con-
stitute a capital diplomatic crime.
Nevertheless the position of the
prince is such that he cannot be dis
posed OF by q drum-head court or
In secrecy. 1t Is recognized that the
German government must not play
with dynamite.
The truth Of Prince LIchnowsky's
memorandum is generally accepted
here as unassailable. II is recognized
that German efforts to discredit the
author may succeed in fooling the
people of Germany for a while. But
it is regarded as extremely significant
that the German government does not
attempt to dispute the material truths
stated by Prince Lichnowsly.
The. memorandum accords so ex-
actly with what happened that Ger
man efforts to discredit its author will
be futile. It is by far the most i'm
portant diplomatic documant of this,
or perhaps any other war"
This statement was made here yes
terday by an EngIishman who was
in the foreign Office with Sir Edward
Grey July and August, 1914, during

writes.

The department holds that the ques-

also the question as to whether a

while American troops are still in
cluded with French and British army
corps and not acting independently.
Army officers believe a communique
would be Of great benefit. It is point
ed out that the German statement al
leging that 1Ss American prisoners
and twenty-five machine-guns had
been captured had not been either sub

sources, whereas an American COM
