son New York housewives averaged a
weekly output of $500 quarts of fruit
and vegetables which they had canned
at the community centers. The city
department of markets cooperating
with the city board of education Sc
cured number of school kitchens as
canning centers. The food commits

slightly below cost, stood for breakage
and gave the service of six demonstra-

LITTLE NELLIE.
A boy brought me a wire today
that cuts me like a knife. It took the
sunshine from my soul, the joy out OF
my life. It said that Little Nellie died,
and would be buried tomorrow. Folks,
I cannot laugh, I want to cry, my
heart is full of sorrow. How well l
remember old days when Nell and
I were together, she was a wonderful
little thing, with a heart as light as a
feather. Her eyes were as blue as the
skies above, and sparkled with love
for me. Her life was filled with all
things good, no evil did she see. And
when I'd return at the end of the day,
dog-tired from my work down town,
she'd be at the gate with love in her
eyes, and brush away my frown. At
night I'd sit with paper and pipe
stretched out in my big easy chair,
she'd sit in my lap, her head on my
arm, for me there were no cares On
holidays and Sundays to the big cool
woods we'd hike, we'd pick a spot
where all was green and the world
was peaceful like. And when winter

WASHINGTON SPECUIATEs
On Probable Objectives of the Pres
cnt German Drive,

Washington, July 15.-The Ger
mans have selected the road to Paris
! for renewal of their drive, officers
| here believe to-day, Judging from
early reports on the violent move
| ment, which began at dawn. Whe-
| ther the effort is designed actually
to be pressed against the French
capital, or to pave the way for later
assault north Of Amiens, on the road
to the channel ports, believed to be
| the main objective Of the whole Ger
man plan, was the subject of inter-
ested speculation.
The new battle line runs clear
around Rheims and its 65-mile sweep
from Chateau Thierry, where the
first and second American divisions
are known to be In line. American
troops in the Jaulgonne sector Of the
Marne, east Of Chateau Thierry, also
are involved.
Employment of heavy artillery to
batter towns and communication
lines far beyond the defense line, in
dicates that the delayed grand offen-
Siye has been opened. The object Of
the bombardment Is to harass the
movement of supplies and reinforce
ments to the danger point, and the
careful preparation of the enemy
may mean that he is ready to keep
up the assault for days or weeks in
the effort to drive through.
Just where the main force Of the
attack will fall is not clear. The apex
of the German advance on the Aisne
front is at Chateau Thierry, where
the American first corps now holds
the left flank Of the new battle line.
Presumably the main objective in
this assault Is some place to the east
of that point, which lies on the direct
road to Paris.
1t Is regarded as possible that the
purpose Of the attack is to widen still
further the Aisne salient by the re-
duction Of Rheims and the forcing
back Of the whole southern extremity
OF the 1918 battle area. A previous
attack on Rheims was halted in it's
tracks by French and Italian troops
and that place is now the center Of a
greatly increased assault. In some
quarters this was taken to mean that
reduction Of the Rheims salient is
regarded as vital to the success Of
the German enterprise as a whole.
Extensive employment of naval
guns for long range bombardment of
the allied rear positions suggests that
it was the time required to bring up
and emplace these weapons that held
up the German drive.
