In other words, the t( crown prince has used nearly onethird of the fighting force of his e father's empire to check the onrush- s ing Franco-American and British I p legions. A conservative estimate ! ^ J 9 I O places the number of German soldiers thrown into battle at 1,050,000.

With armies of this size at (battle ^ ?rips, army officers here frankly stat ? ^ that no prediction can be made as to the ultimate significance cf the struggle.

All discussions cen'er e upon the line which the Germans will ^ ?eek to hold and the ability cf the 0 allies to throw in forces strong g enough to prevent the crown prince ^ from establishing strongly such a line c Where flew German Line May Be. a Although some experts believe thaf. a the Germans will be forced hack to j c the Aisne, the general opinion now held, in view of the latest dispatches is that the new German line will be 0 pitched along the Ardre river running a northwest and then following the south hank of the SVesle river to Sois- | sons. This line is naturally strong and offers the best chance for the reforming of the 'beaten armies of von Below and von Boehm. j The receipt of official advices rela five to the strength of the forces , gathered to save the crown prince, T Beulow and von Bohm. I j. Greatest problem of the German na- c tion is that of manpower. | ^ Germany's armed strength is be- c ginning to feel the enormous strain placed by the pressure of the war- ', ? rior hosts gathered under the flags of the allies. One year ago Germany had 241 divisions in the field. Of these 36 ^ were in Russia. Today Germany has ^ iiu divisions on tne western ironi, n g the Italian battle line is not included ^ in that definition. Austria had 79 divisions last year (Now she has only s 77, bavins' 'been forced to consolidate some divisions. j1 i ^ Germany's Failing Manpower. ! Germany's leaders have refused as long as %-ssible to lessen the number of divisions, since war is fought today s with divisions and not with numbers 1 of men. Originally Germany had 1 about 17.000 men to a division. Today c the nuirtber is near 14.000. The time ! is not far off, according to military j ^ experts, when the German power will ( c begin to dwindle and then Germany will find herself driven to the con solidation of divisions. Reports received here also show ' that the new class of young men soldiers, known as the class of 1912, wil! not 'be available to the German army before October and will number not more than 450,000.

The crisis on The allied offensive or, he Soissons-Rheims sailent apparnrly has 'ben reached. French trcops have entered the own of Soissons, the western anchor ioint of what remains of the famous; alien?, and all along the 36 miles o? urving battle line from ;Soissons t"> "hillers. which lies about three miles rest of Rheims. French, American nd British troops have pushed in he entire enemy front and sent the Jeramns backward everywhere in irecipitate retreat. Over the "battle ront the allies, by quick and forci>le methods of onslaught, have deepv indented the German defense line or splendid gains which seemingly oreshadow the necessity of the ventual retirement of the forces of he German crown prince to more enable ground in the north. The plains behind the northwestern ntirely doinated by allied big uns: in the south the French and ortion of the battle front now are imericans have made gains in most f the hill and forest country and are ncroaching perceptibly towards the "ismes railway, while on the cast the Iritish and French are almost astride h.e Rheims-Soissons railway and have heir guns so placed that the enemy 5 sure to be sorely tried as he eneavors and press hack and gain a ave refuge along the Vesle river.

Numerous towns ani hamlets have ? 1 1 il - ipeu cai)' ui e(i uy me ciin^u uuu^-j uring the latest fighting, and at so:re ioints they have advanced from two o three miles. South of Soissons the ntire Crise River has heori forded hy he allied troops: northeast' of Feren-Tardenois the allied line has been mshed well to the west of the region if Grand Rozov and the town of Japonay has been taken. In the cener the Nesles wood is 'being swept lean of Germans by the French cav!ry and American and French troops re pressing the Germans hard north f Sergy and the hamlet of Nesles. On Heels of Germans. (Far to the east almost to the gates if Rheims combined forces of British md French everywhere are sorely tarassing the enemy. In this latter egion, in addition to Thillois the viTage of Ville-en-Tardenois is in alied hands and the French are on the leels of the Germans two and a half niles north of the Formans-Rheims oad over a front of nearly four miles. Altogether, viewed from the war naps, the situation for the allied rAnns at nrocopt is a mnSt nromisin? :ne for complete success in ridding he Soissons-Rheims salient entirely >f the enemy. Throughout the latter phase of the >attles the Germans have not shown heir stamina of previous days, and at ome points the allied troops, paricularly the Americans were enabled o make their way into German portions with virtually no opposition. Ul behind the battle line the smoke >f burning towns is visible, which eeminely would give weight to the >revailing belief in the allied capital? hat the Germans at present are no vhere near the end of their retreat. Aside from the Soissons-Rhiems alient there has been little fighting n anv nf the war theatres. The Brit. sh are continuing their raids on the Jermans in France and Flanders and he Germans at last accounts were teavily bombarding the British south f the Somme and near Ypres.

Is Not Such a Very Great Improvement. Speaking of old-fashioned tilings, a newspaper writer wants to know what lias become of the gallant youth who, \vh??n he had stopped the horse, would i let down the top of the buggy in order j to permit his sweetheart to alight i without difficulty? Well, wo do not know what has be-; come of him, but we remember him. j Peri nps he is slumbering somewhere in >blivion, whatever that is, with the gaudy lap robe wound about him? t that lap robe with the big red rose crudely worked in the center. It was I a thing of art, even as was the linen j duster, and the gallant youth prob-: ably hangs on to it in his obscurity, i i But speaking of buggy riding, the \ automobile is no improvement over it I I in the matter of real enjoyment. Not | until the automobile Is perfected so it can be driven with one hand, or un; til it will wander along the road with! out driving at all, will it come in the . class of bliss which the buggy occu-: 1 pied in the days gone by. i The girls are as sweet as they nsed | to be?and the roads much better. The ! moonlight is just as mellow. Love ! flows in the same uncharted channel. : Youth is as hopeful?and as boastful. | Mothers are as anxious, fathers as im' patient, when daughter fails to return i when she was expected. Gossip is as i busy. But the wise old horse that i knew when there was a loving couple ! in the buggy, and the narrow buggy itself, have all but taken their depart- j i nre along with the gallant fellow who! ! hopped from the rig and gracefully j ] and graciously lowered the top of the j j vehicle so wis companion could alight! i without so much as touching a wheel | j or the body.?Columbus (0.) Dispatch. France Welcomes Babies. j Babies are welcome in certain apartment houses in Paris. Reversing the I policy prevalent in apartment houses, ! the owner of one of the newest houses I in the French capital will not take in i a family which has no children, and | fhe size of the suite obtainable dei ponds entirely on the number of chili dren rather than the number of dolj lars a family has. A list of quali' fications has been prepared by the ! owners of these houses and tenants 1 must meet them. A family with one child will not be permitted to have the largest apartments 111 rne nouse. It will have to take one of the smallest suites. A family with two children will be rented the next largest apartment, three children the next largest, and four children any of the i larger suites in the house. A family i must contain at least four children to ; lease the largest suite. There is reaj son to believe that the government Is j interested or will be interested in j these houses, as France has encour! aged In every possible manner a higher , blrih rate. Set Limit to Luxuries. "Don't try to sell luxuries to New, Zealand." This Is the advice United ! States Consul General Winslow gives ' American merchants In a commerce ; report. j No; New Zealand is not pinched for money. Its wallet is well filled. "There is no particular necessity for retrenchment," as the consul puts it, but the public is opposed to the purchase of luxuries, especially luxuries that have to be imported, thereby using tonnage needed to head off the U-boats. Trinidad, too, and the whole of the British West Indies, is abstaining from use of imported goods. This has caused the population to change its whole menu, for many foodstuffs were ; formerly imported. Now the people eat home-grown plants that only the animals ate before. They like the new diet so well they say they will j never again import any staple food j except cornmeal. Win-the-War Wig. i A wig to help to win the war has been "Invented" by an American cotton manufacturer. It is made of a fibrous material in two colors?green and reddish brown. It fits down tight over the helmet and, while the soldiers are sneaking through the woodlands, blends into the forest so splendidly and naturally that 300 feet away nobody can tell that a company or a regiment of soldiers is on the move. Then when out of the woods and back In the trenches all the soldier must needs do is to take off his wig and reverse it and he is topped with a reddish-brown top piece, invisible against the earthwork of the trenches. Must Take Time to Submerge. i It requires at least five minutes for 1 submarines of tne lavest type ro kuumerge. A submarine cannot dive quickly under the sea, because the water j which must be let into her ballast i tanks to make her heavy enough to j sink must be let in comparatively slowj ly. If it were let in with a rush the ; boat might not go down on an even i keel, but would heel over and be in j great danger of disaster. Then, too. i If water were let in too quickly there | would be danger of too much entering, ? 1 j ! and in that ease trie suDmanne wouiu j sink like lead to the bottom of the sea. Wearied, as It Were. ! Stanley had learned to dress himself and was quite proud of it, but after several days' practice he seemed to have lost his pride. One morning he asked his mother to dress him. ; "I thought you could dress yourself, Stanley?you must be getting lazy." r nin'f * Kti'f r? Inapri mv 'fns - .
