easy victory there, they met with a
crushing defeat at the hands Of the
French troops under General Gouraud.
This gallant commander, who lost an
arm at the Dardanelles, had disposed
his men with the utmost cleyerness
When the German bombardment be-
gan, one Of the most terrific ever
known, the French, except for machine
gun crews In blockhousss, retired to
shelter. Then the observers amour
ced that the advance was starting, and
instantly the enemy was swept by
guns and rifles. The blockhouses re.
tarded the Huns, large numbers OF

astonishingly few. The attacking Ger
man divisions had to be relieved, but
the French staid In their positions,
happy and cheerful and more coma
dent than ever.
The morale Of all the allied troops,
indeed, was of the highest, In strong
contrast to that Of the enemy as re-
vealed by the words and actions of
prisoners The spirit Of the Americans
engaged was shown vividly by two In
cidents worth recording. On the first
day, when a certain f3rce of Yankees
had been compelled to give ground,
their commander was advised by
French general to let his men rest, as
the retirement could have no serious
consequences. The American respond
ed that he could not accept the ceun-
sci and was going to counteF-a attack
at once. This he did, regaining the
lest terrain and half q mile more to
boot. Another commander, in report
ing the recapture of q number Of
towns, wired to headquarters: MET

Tho French soldiers displayed their
customary gallantry and determine
ton, and the Italians on that front
were not behind them In this. If more
stress is laid on the bravery of the
Americans, II is only because the 9th
ers have proved themselves times
without number in the last four years.
All the latest reports of the allies
state that the situation is entirely sat
isfactory and improving hourly.
At first 1t was thought by many that
Ludendorks offensive in the Marne
region was not intended to be his main
effort but masked a plan to attack
elsewhere, perhaps in Flanders. At
the end Of the week there were still
some observers who believed this, but
1t seemed very doubtful. At the same
time, 1t was hard to figure out how he
could expect to derive any great bene-
at from success where he attacked.
Even If he had attained his supposed
detectives and captured Epernay,
Chalons, the Mountain of Reims and
Mont-Mirail, he would be no nearer a
decisive victory than before, and was
certain to lose an enormous number OF
men. Instead of turning westward to-
ward Paris, he was attempting 70
move TO the east and seuth and the
road to the capital would still be
closed to him.

Thousands OF young women have
gone TO the vicinity Of the military
camps. To see that these girls are
protected from dangers, the depart

activities has appointed so women
deputy sheriffs to do scouting and
patrol work. In all parts OF the
country the women are on duty under
the supervision OF especially estab-
lished Girls Protective bureaus.
Girls actually resident in the vicini-
" OF the camps are protected.

Of any kind.
Often, SAYS Miss Maude Miner,
chairman OF the committee on protsc-
tive work for girls. the women pro-
tective officers find girls in the vicini-

the presence OF the uniform. Some
Of these are girls who have answered
advertisements. and who arrive in
camp cities with insufficient funds;
others are runaways from their
homes in nearby cities and country
towns. A girl resident Of the town,
who Is disposed to resist discipline
is taken to her home by the woman
officer and her mother warned Of her
danger. The officers also visit nearby
amusement places TO discover young
girls who seem to need protection,
and to see that local ordinances are
obeyed."
