Colonel Hayward Asserts Foe
Was Lured into a
ShambIeS.
KNEW ABOUT GERMAN PLANS
Through Prisoners French General
Learned of Exact Hour of Huns
Great Offensive and Beat
Them to II.

New YOrk.-The story of how Gen
eral G0uraud obtained through prison
ers word of the exact hour at which
the last great German offensive of the
war was to be launched, and how, with
the hd of American troops. he hurled
back the advancing hordes was told
by Col. William Hayward of the Three
Hundred and Sixty-ninth infantry (cOl-
ored, the former Fifteenth New YORK.
This German drive, launched on July
10, was the turning point of the war,
Colonel Hayward declared. Reinforced
BY released prisoners from Russia, the
foe was at the zenith of his power.
The blow came east of Reims.
I'VE knew this attack was coming,
and knew it was to be the maximum
German effort" Colonel Hayward said.
"About one hour before / o'clock on
the night of July IA we captured Ger
man prisoners in raid. They told us
when the attack would come.
Beat Them to It.
THE artillery preparation was to
start at midnight and last for five
hours and twenty-five minutes. So
General GOuraud started our artillery
fire five minutes ahead of theirs.
THAT put them up in the air. Fritz
had to send to HansSo ask what the
change in his plans meant.
when the French knew when this
battle was coming, their lines did not
remain thin blue line. 1t seemed
that all the soldiers and all the can
mons in the world crawled over and
took position back of us.
General Gouraud saved the world
for civilization. l have heard stories
about how hard he had to work to
convince General Petain and Marshal
Foch that his plan was right.
But he took chance-the greatest
chance any soldier ever took in the
world. He took his troops out of the
front line trenches over front of fifty
kilOmeterS.
Some of these trenches had cost
thousands Of lives Men had toiled
for weeks and months to gain these
positions. He abandoned them when
he was sure where the attack was
coming.
And when this occurred he had
the Three Hundred and Sixty-ninth
American infantry on one end of that
fifty kilometer line and the One Hun
dred and SiXty-fifth on the other.
when the troops were withdrawn
from the front line only patrols were
left. On my regiments front, instead
of 1000 men, only sixteen volunteers
We're left They were left in specially
reinforced trenches with signal rock.

SMOKING TOBACCO
FACTS FROM THE
ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use of fIavorings Deter.
mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking to-
bacco: &C.. on the Continent and in
America, certain sauces are employed
the use Of the sauces is to improve
the favour and burning qualities of the
leaves" Which indicates that smokers
enjoyment depends as much upon the
fiavoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the mat
ter of favorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You will notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance OF every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
