Big Blow by Foch
Enemy Massing for Final
Smash, He Said, ON Eve
of Conflict

THE HAGUE, July 26.-"The hard
est part of the job is still before u.s.
The enemy knows the war is about to
reach the point of decision and is
summoning all his strength for final
defence and counter offensive"
This was the observation of the
German Emperor, recorded by Karl
Rosner in the Berlin Lokal- -Anzeiger,"
and apparently made on the eve Of
General Foch's offensive. On the same
occasion Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg gave Rosner the following state
ment:
at is to be hoped the people at
home are full of confidence, but they
are not learned in patience. I hope
nothing is so promptly punished, as
over-haste is no good.
Preparation is half the battle, and
the people must remember we are not
working with machines that can be
smashed as soon as the Job is com
pleted. We are working with the most
sacred thing we possess, namely, the
blood and life Of the German people
Our last reserves must be strong men
who will return from the trenches to
take up peace tasks. We must not be
left at the end like smashed machines,
but must be strong and unweakened f"

OF Souiets, Falls
Before SIouaks

AMSTERDAM, July 26- With the
capture of Simbirsk, on the Volga,
Czecho-Slovak troops now control not
only the left bank of the river but
part of the territory on the right bank.
The fall of Simbirsk, which is an
nounced officially in a telegram from
Moscow by way of Berlin, occurred
after the Soviet troops had made a
strong defence.
The "Pravda," the official Soviet
organ, commenting on the advance of
Che Czechs, says:
"The rising is spreading like patch
of oil on water. May the capture of
Simbirsk awaken the sleepers! Sim
birsk was one of the bases Of the
councils power and also the corn gran
ary. The danger is growing. 1t is war.
The enemy is numerous and we'll or
ganized. If the fall of Samara has
not awakened the workers, may the
fall of Simbirsk make the proletariat
tremble for the fate of the proletarlat
revolution"
Simbirsk is on the right bank of the
Volga, 500 miles east of Moscow. 1t
is an important trading centre. Kazan,
$50 miles north on the Volga, was re-
ported captured by the Czechs on
July Is.

Red Cross Helps Crippled Men
To Many Desirable Positions

At the Red Cross Institute for
Crippled and Disabled Men, 81 Fourth
Avenue, any disabled soldier, except
the blind, arriving from the front,
will be able to obtain now, and until
schools which the government is
planning arc completed, full assistance
in finding work which he can do and
which he likes to do.
f. Il. Bigler, industrial agent Of the
home, said yesterday that many posi-
tons were open to the crippled men,
both in industrial and commercial
fields, and that the Red Cross Inst-
tutc could train n man for work of
any sort he desired.
Employers everywhere have shown
Willingness tc try out the recducated
cripple. Mayor Hylan, according to
Mr.. Bigler, is looking with favor upon
n change in the municipal civil service
rules so as to admit crippled soldiers
and sailors, who would now be de-
barred because of certain injuries.
Mr.. Bigler said yesterday:
There used to be a tendency to put
n man without an arm or leg into
some menial position because Of his
appearance. The labor situation is
now SO critical that we have no diff
Guilty in making employers realize that
brains are what count and that

able bodied man in efficiency.

''Men of All Trades"
Are British "Pioneers"

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June 20 (By MaD.-The
pioneer section" of British battalion
consists of sergeant and ten men,
attached to headquarters The men,
bers of this little band are really "men
of all trades" and all-around workmen,
ready to do plumbing, painting, car
pentry or almost anything else.
The pioneer sergeant is generally
known by the nickname "Old Two-by-
four" apparently derived from tho
carpenters name for piece of wood
with cross section two inches by four
inches, which is the foundation in the
building line.
If the pioneer sergeant is asked for
a bed he must produce it forthwith.
Four short pieces of 2X4 for the legs,
two long and two short pieces for the
frame, together with suitable amount
of wire netting, and the result is what
seems in the trenches the best bed in
the world.
The pioneers are as handy with the
paint brush as with the saw. They
paint the "tin hats" of the battalion
in the regimental colors, and this, with
the letters of the different companies,
is an Invaluable device in fighting when
companies get mixed up.
Df course. the pioneer is prepared to
do his lighting when necessary. He is
a trained soldier, like every other spe-
cialist. His knowledge of saws and
planes and paint has been merely added
to his knowledge of bombs and rifles.

Y ankees' Coming
Spurs Italy to
Highest Morale

Italy is in the war to stay until the
Allies have won an unqualified victory
and never will seek separate peace,
but she needs more help from the
United States, according to Aldo Cas-
suto, one of the Italian journalists in
Vlted by this government to tour Amer
lea, and who arrived in New York City
yesterday
The morale of Italys army is better
now than it has been at any other stage
OF the war, due partly, he said, to
Americans being with the Italian
troops
~ Mr.. Cassuto is London editor of the
"Messaggero, newspaper published in
Rome, and a writer for the "Secalo," of
Milan. He is the first of eight expected
Journalists to arrive here.
The object of their mission, he said.
is to obtain for Italy full report of
what this country is doing to help win
the war This government will send
eight representatives to Italy for a
SIM lar purpose, Mr.. Cassuto said
German propaganda in the United
States caused the report recently that
Italy might seek separate peace"
the visitor continued The same kind
of propaganda IN Italy has accused
America or selfish motives in entering
the war. 1t was German trickery that
caused 1taly's great defeat eight
months age. 1t is necessary to refute
this propaganda both in Italy and in
this country
''By exchanging journalists each
country will learn just what the other
really is doing and intends to do
Italy never will seek a separate peace.
Very little is known there about ac-
tivities in the United States. We are
putting our full power into the war
and we want to be able to report that
America is ooing the same"
Mr.. Cassuto said Italy needs ships
from this country to transport coal.
He said lack of it last winter crippled
ltaly's war work. He thinks that the
purchasing value of Italian money
should be increased to compare with
that of American money.
Mr., Cassuto, who is at the McAlpin
Hotel, expects to spend three or four
days in New York City. He will visit
the factories, shipyards and other
places where war work is being done.

Dash of Americans
Elates Paris Press

By Cable tao the Courier des Etats-Unts)
PARIS. July 26.-The situation on
the tenth day of the battle, accord
ing to press reports from the front, is
very satisfactory. In the last .nine
days the Allied armies have won two
great victories. The first was purely
defensive; the other repuse of the
Germans into clean-cut defeat.
'Ihe forces of our Allies consti-
tuted 30 per cent of the engaged effec-
tvcs," says the "Pett Parisien." "The
Americans, who underwent the BAPTISM
of a great battle, have given US mar
vellous idea of what their cooperation
VIII be when they arrive in great num-
Der. They have shown us by their
keenness, suppleness and tenacty that
they know the road to victory.
The throbbing interest in the infuri-
ated struggle between Soissons and
khelms must not throw into the shade
the remarkable exploit achieved by our
troops north of Montdidier. In the
course of their rush toward Amiens
the Germans, after crossing the Avre,
installed themselves on the hills of the
right bank and occupied the villages
retaken by us yesterday. There they
placed heavy batteries and shelled the
railway to Amiens. which stretches
eight kilometres westward, along the
valley of the Noye.
General Debenay, commander of
the Allied army in this sector, attacked
and in few hours forced the enemy
from the villages and neighboring
heights. The Germans thus lost a
precious territory and found them
selves forced back to the declevities
Leading to the narrow valley of the
