The ultimate strategic object of
General Nivelle was to break through
the German line between Vailly and
Rheims in the first few days. Fol-

as far as Suippe was to widen the
breach and shatter our front for 70

by the French army against the group
of armies under the German crown

wards on Douai and the break through
on both sides of Rheims via Rethel,
in the direction of Mezieres was to
enyelop the Siegfried position, the
construction of which had been sur
veyed by hosts Of aeroplanes. The
entente intended to make our whole
front reel as far as the sea.
Crown Prince Worked Hard,
The preparations for defense were
carried out with extraordinary care
by the group of armies under the
German crown prince and the 18th
and Bird armies. The crown prince
and his chief of staff, Colonel Count
Schulenburg, were interchangeable
The command of the 18th army was
in the hands of General Won Boehn,
one of the best generals in the Ger
man army, a Prussian officer of the
old school, a good trainer of troops
and a man of untiring energy. His
chief of staff. Colonel Reinhardt, was
clever man. whose careful work
made him q useful complement to
his commanding officer
General Won Einem, who was in
charge of the Bird army, is well
known as minister of war. an able
and far-sighted officer who knew the
army we'll and understood the psy-
chology of the troops. His chief OF
staff, Colonel (later GeneraD Won Oh

UNITED AMERICANS.


When a giant of evil set forth to
trample upon the fields of his neigh
bors, wipe the owners from the face
of the earth, or make them his sub
jects, and take unto himself the lands
and the wealth due to their centuries
of toll; when his ruthless march be-
gan to create vibrations upon and
across the ocean and foretold advance
TO even this country. some warning
patriot shouted: America, Wake Up.''
The cry was taken up and passed
along from coast to coast, and as
aroused Americans got into action
skulking, plotting scouts Of the giant
of evil were unmasked or hunted
cover.
America walked up and the world
was saved.
And then, lifted off our feet by the
Joy of our own achievements, we be-
gan. the idealistic, absorbing task Of
making all nations and all lands what
we had made of America. With our
eyes and our minds turned upon the
old lands we began a world program,
as if all things We're well at home.
From one end of the land to the
other the head of the nation and such
men as William Taft went raising
money and arousing sentiment for the
great work of securing freedom in all
lands of the old world.

America is not such a fertile field
as was Russia, but let US not assume
that only aliens are in the movement
now becoming more open.
The propaganda that breaches the
doctrine of "arise, burn, STAY. take
and rule" does not appeal TO sound
Americans, and defeats its own aim
with reasonable people. But the tons
of printed arguments and cunning
theories the organized revolutionists
distribute, paid for by money Russian
leaders confiscated and sent here, and
by contributions of aliens and their
kinds.
The l. w w. and others present one
theory to one race and sort of people
and a different one to other classes,
The radicals work into labor ranks;
they start strikes as a means to a con
cealed end, which would impoverish
labor as it has in Russia. Insdious
doctrines are put into practice in CO.
ercing both employers and workers,
to create hatred.
Somebody recently sounded cla-
rion warning by asking what was be-
ing done to offset the organized de-
ception of the people upon whom the
false doctrinaires are working?
And nobody could answer that uni
ted defense work was going on. be-
yond that of the conscientious press,
the workers teaching Americanism,
and public condemnation of the poison
squad.

Now comes the movement for Uni

If the organization Of United Am
orleans be directed by such patriots
and able leaders as headed great
activities during the war. and in the
non-nercenary spirit that distinguish
ed the National Council Of Defense
state councils and the local organiza
tons of war time, a tide of interest
and loyalty win be developed that will
submerge and purify the muddied
waters that hide the aims of those
who are corrupting American thought
The United Americans seem to be
the first to start needed movement,
and are headed in the right direction
to secure unity without narrowness
toward any who believe and will work
for America and her government, and
to suppress methods not favored by
those who hewed out the path which
has led the new world to independ-
ence and national happiness greater
than was ever enjoyed by any other
people.
The organization is in the making.
The policy and methods to be follow
ed in this state are largely IN the
hands Of careful and patriotic citizens
who will stand for naught along
wrong lines.

With the best thought and effort

To Mix Recreation With Work.

London. June IS Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-All the reg
ular editors, special writer's and re-
porters of The Times. Daily Mail and
Evening News are to have two days
each week for rest or recreation under
the five day working week which
Viscount Nosthcliffe is introducing IN
his newspaper properties.
The writing staffs of The Times and
Daily Mali already have been reor-
ganized on this basis and the system
is TO be extended to The News.
The same system is to be arranged
in the near future for all others on
these papers including all members OF
the business staffs, the printing and
mechanical forces: This IS not pos
sible at present on account of the
scarcity of skilled labor.
Lord Northcliffes view is that all
men, especially those engaged in
brain work. attain their highest ef-
ficiency by this division Of work and
recrea ton. and by complete change
at these regular and frequent inter-

Potash May Be Let In

Washington, July 12.-Senator Z. D.
Smith having seen the announcement
that in the opening up Of trade be-
tween this country and Germany the
embargo would be retained on potash
importations into the United States.
called Cr Acting Secretary Polk at
the State department.
The South Carolina senator inform
cd Secretary Polk thai he had state
we'll as articles published in the press
calling attention to the alleged disas-
trouS effect Of certain American pot
ash on tobacco and cotton in the
South
Senator Smith pointed out the alb
solute necessity Of potash along the
entire coastal plain from Maine to
Florida especially in the South. He
added that according to statements
made by certain witnesses before a
committee of the house Of repreSen-
tatives, German potash as we'll as AL
satan potash can be delivered in this
country around SIS to $50 a ton for
what is known as kainit, while the
American article would be something
like $50 to $500 a ton. but of
higher percentage of potash.
Secretary Polk was sufficiently i'm
pressed to suggest that conference
be held between the secretary Of the
interior the secretary Of war and the
department of State looking to the
proper adjustment of the matter. Sen
ator Smith believes that the result
will be the lifting Of the embargo on
the importation Of potash.
