forward was accompanied by a con-
tingent OF very light artillery, con-
sisting principally Of trench mortars
mounted on wheels and baby cannOns
similar to the French's famous
"Trentesept," or .3T-caliber.
The use OF the trench mortars with
these waves of assault was essential
ly original. the mortars instead of
firing up into the air as customary,
being used instead to fire straight
ahead at distances Of 100 to 200 yards.
In addition to this eight artillery
every three battalions likewise was
accompanied by a battery OF the Ger
man a field gun, a supplementary
company and a half OF machine guns,
and half a company Of engineers.
Then last but most original of all in
the conception OF their use came the
tanks. Almost without exception
these were tanks which had been tax
en- from the English in previous Of
fensives and repaired until they were
again At for use.
Tank Use IL Different.
But where both the English and
the French have used their tanks for
leading an assault, and especially for
1AA-1-1AAA6 NO"H AAN BGEbEA-"AEE Gu-
tanglements for the infantry to pass
through, Won Hutier's method was for
the tanks to bring up the rear and
complete the cleaning up process Of
any points OF resistance that might
have escaped the troops especially
charged with that task.
This is the method with which Won
Hutier forced the Russian front at
Riga, and with which, fresh from that
triumph, he undertook to force the
western front
Certain il is that in the first few
hours of its application against the
English front at St Quentin il met
with a degree Of success. Whether
this success was due purely to the ef
fectiveness OF the method or whether
other causes combined to force the
English retreat remains to be estab-
lished.
Had the method met with the same
complete success on the western front
that it did at Riga, II is hard to i'm
agine to what extremes the allies
might not have been driven.
But having failed to meet with COM
plete success IT developed at once its
greatest inherent weakness, that of
opening up to a resolute enemy great
solid masses and columns of human
beings to be raked TO the extreme de-
gree by rife, machine gun and artil-
lery FIRE.
Frances poilus were not slow to
take advantage OF the opening, and
as a result not only does the German
offensive stand checked today but Won
Hutier's method stands doomed. and
with it not only Ludendorff's colossal
strategic plans but Germany's last
hope OF converting France England,
Italy, and Belgium into a second Rus

Lloyd Georges Statement About Amer
lean Troops Not Understood.

! WASHINGTON, MaY 5.-Premier Lloyd
Georges statement that the United States
had thus far been able to counteract less
than one-ffth of the fighting strength the
Germans gained for west front operations
through the collapse of Russia, left officials
here somewhat puzzled as to the figures
upon which it was based.
In view of the fact that Secretary Baker
formally announced some time ago that
more than 900 American troops were in
Europe, it was pointed out that the Brit
ish premier's statement would indicate that
between 2,5O0,0O0 and 100000 German
| troops had been released from the eastern
| front and were being employed in the west
Army officers here do not believe Ger
many received any such advantage from
the Russian collapse. 1t has never been
| reported, they say, that the German fight
| ing units in the east totalled any such
| figure.
| 1t was regarded as probable that Pre-
| mier Lloyd George was basing his state
ment ON the number of men OF the Ameri-
can Army now in line before Amiens with
the French forces. The strength Of that
American force has never been made pub
lie but il is known to exceed one division
| ana prODdDiy,s counting all aiSllaffeS az
well as line regiments, reaches a. figure
at least above 100000. If that is true
and the premier based his calculation upon
/ an American participation of 100000 men,
| it would indicate British information was
i that half million German troops had
| been withdrawn from the eastern front
for use in the west That figure, however
it is felt here, probably underestimate
the actual German movement
/ Whatever the strength of the American
| Army in France may be today the state
ment is made in semi-official quarters and
has not been challenged at the war de
partment that a million men will have
been transported by July l of this year
Officers here declare the German with
drawal from the east front certainly eoulC
not have been anywhere like five time.
that number. The race between German
offensive plans and the American effor
to aid the allies pictured by Lloyd George
i therefore narrows down to a question o

To Accept Voluntary Enlistments Be
tween Ages of 40 and 55-Volun-

WASHINGTON, May 25-Another
move toward full utilization of the coun-
try's man-power was made yesterday when
Secretary Baker sent to congress the draft
OF bill proposing to raise the maximum
age limit for voluntary enlistment in the
army from 40 to 90 years. All men over
40 SO enlisted would be assigned to- nom
combatant service
, In letter to Speaker Clark asking that
the bill be pushed, Secretary Baker said:
Every man above the age of 40 years
i who is enlisted in non-combatant branches
OF the service, will make available for
duty with the line troops man within
the prescribed limit for all troops
|, Many men whose experience as me-
chanics and artisans will make them par
ticularly valuable to the various staff corps
!. and departments may be thus secured in
stead OF younger men without such ex-
perience, and the efficiency of the staff
corps and the departments thus will be
increased
/ There are probably 100000 men be-
tween the ages of 40 and 55 and many
thousands of them have already attested
their desire to serve by bombarding the
department with applications While the
great majority of the men in this class
undoubtedly will be restrained from enlist
ing by family and business ties, the num-
Der at liberty to join the colors is expect
ed to be more than sufficient to meet the

greater moral laNness among the
rich than the poor. Take them man
for man and woman for woman, the
smart set are probably just as vir-
tuous and with as high principles
as the bourgeoise who criticize
them. There is doubtless just as
much incompatibLlity OF temper and
uncongeniality of taste in green gro
Gerry circles, as there is in bank
ing circles. The only difference is
that the green grocer il lucky
enough not to have time to think of
his domestic misery.
He Is so hard worked trying to
make both ends meet that he hasn't
time to consider whether his wife
represents his ideal of feminine
perfection or not, while Mrs. Green
grocer's thoughts are effectually
and permanently diverted from
yesrnings for a real soul mate by
having to get up and prepare
breakfast, and patch her husbands
trousers. Insofar. poverty is the
handmaiden of domestic happiness.
Furthermore, the habit OF self
indulgence is strong upon the rich.
and the man and woman who are
not used to doing without anything
! they want are pretty apt not to
deny themselves a forbidden fiirta-
tion. But most of all it is ennuf,
the desire for fresh sensations and
fresh amusements, and general
lack of something to do. that is
at the bottom OF the domestic in
fidelities Of the rich. You haven't
time to hunt for afinities or even
to know that you haven't got one,
when you are hustling for living,
and that's the reason that poor peo-
pie SO seldom get divorced.
The wisest prayer that was ever
offered to Heaven was when the
psalmist exclaimed: Give me
neither poverty nor riches" and
this petition might we'll be incor-
porated in the prayers of the mar
riage service. Undoubtedly, the
happiest couples are those where
there is neither the wolf nor the
automobile at the door.
The very lack OF money for
amusements throws a couple on
each other for companionship. They
have not the means for the long
European trips and the summers
apart that unconsciously, but in
evitably, wean husband and wife
from each other. for there is a
habit In loving as in other things,
and we can get used to doing with
out people. Right here. in this par
ticular. is where narrow means are
most a blessing in disguise, for
when husband and wife have
reached the point that they are not
necessary to each others happiness,
the finest flower of love lies dead.
Life Is full OF compensations, and
the most wonderful and beautiful
of all Is that the beggar may have
that which no money can buy
true and disinterested love.
