'United Press Staff Correspondent) WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE FIELP. May 21. (Ry Ms'!). On the eve of the great battle now rsgini? on the French front, the wireless station at the German Imperial Headquarters on the western front announced in grandiloquent terms to the world that Kaiser Wllhelm himself had assumed the personal command of the big German offensive about to be undertaken. In less than a week when the Allies had definitely checked the German advance on Amiens and Paris, the name of the Kaiser definitely disappeared from all sponsorship of the battle and has never been heard of in that connection since. The battle, however, is most likely to pass down in history as the "Battle of the Emperor." for entirely aside from the Kaiser's original sponsorship and subsequent desertion, the battle from every point of view conception, plan, purpose, effectives, execution constitute the most Imperial undertaking: of the kind the world has yet seen. I'nder the separate headings that follow will be found a complete resume of every detail leadinr up to the launching of the battle and Its aubsequent execution that it has been possible to establish up to the end of th first month of the titanic contest.

FASHION'S FORECAST. By Annabel Worthington. STOUT LADY WAIST.

The individuality and smartness of thlt blouse will gain the approral of the matron who wants to look as slender as she possibly can. No. 8843 has been especially designed to create this effect, and the result is a practical waist which will make tip attractirely in Georgette crepe, crCpe de Chine, striped silks or roile. The inset vefct tapers toward the waistline and the collar is cleverly cut so that it follows the same lines. The back extends over the shoulders and the fronts are gathered. The long sleeves are gathered into straijbt cuffs. The stout lady's waist pattern Xo. 8343 is cut iu six sizes, 42 to 22 inches bust measure. The 46 inch siie requires 2 yards of 36 inch, 2 yards of 40 inch, or 2i yards of 44 lack material. Prica 10 cents. none was necessary. According to every member of the committee it was amazing the way people In this city volunteered to give tehir money. They did not consider it a necessity, but a privilege. The Whiting boys have every reason to believe they have their townspeople behind them plainly indicated by the success of our drives. FEDERAL MO POSSIBLE TRACTION LINES Light Companies May Also Get Assistance; Is GaryCo. to Get Lift? That the visit of a federal agent to Gary and his conferences regarding the ability of the Gary Stre,t Railway Company (formerly the elary & Inierurban) to transport wnr workers may foeshadow possible federal aid for that and other war-aiding utilities is believed to be a probability. Federal aid rather than federal commande-ring is expected. Several companies have already applied to the war finance corporation at Washington for aid, including those at Brooklyn, Pittsburgh and Si. Louis. Tirst Zioaa Authorised. Directors of the war finance corporation on Wednesday approved the first loan to be made under the authority conferred upon them by the act approved April 5. 1918.

authenticated and the Information as a whole constitutes the most complete and accurate account of the battle from every point of view that it is possible to obtain at the present moment. Necessity of the Rattle. A careful following; of the German press for several months preceding the launching: of the preset German offensive on March 21. shows that the battle was deemed by German military and governmental authorities as absolutely INEVITABLE and NECESSARY for the following reasons: From an economical point of view It was recognized that Germany would j not be able to provision herself from i the conquered Rusiian provinces, while I the constant and ever-Increasing presl sure of the Allied blockade threatened eventual ruin and defeat. From a military standpoint. It was recognized that that Germany's principal enemy rested always on the western front and that if this enemy were to be defeated H must be done before American troops in larg? number? could arrive. Preparation of German Public Opinion. Although the German imperial staff announced several times durinir th month preceding the offensive their Intention to undertake it. it Is officlally known that the date had to be postponed repeatedly, owing: to the necessity of creating a favorable opinion in Germany for the undertaking; that must rik everything. The Pan-Oermanlst party, backed by the Imperial general staff, at all times favored the offensive. They were opposed, however, by a moderate party backed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Kuehlman and a larg party of the middie classes, all of whom favored the exploitation of the Russian success and a policy of conciliation toward the Allies on the western front. To secure a general public sanction for the offensive a publicity campaign had to be undertaken in Fhe German press which had to be continued for months, Involving the postponing of the offensive, before a sufficient unanimity coi'ld be secured. Throughout this period of delay, however, the military preparations were pushed to the extreme degree. J De we ko over the top in raisinp our Red Cross war fund allotment?
