RESERVES CLUB FOR KNOCKOUT GEN, FOCH SAYS Commander Says 1 Offensive Is the Only Way io Win a Victory. LONDON'. June 10. Battles can be won In the end only by the army which takes the offensive. This Is the significant declaration made by General Foch, commander in chief 61 the allies, in an article contributed by him to the weekly journal, the Field, in which he discusses the problem of the soldier and the way to victory. "Modern warfare, to arrive at its end and to Impose Its will on the enemy," Gen. Foch says, "recognizes only one meansdestruction of the enemy's organized forces. "War undertakes and prepares this destruction by battle, which brings about the overthrow of the adversary, disorganizes his command, destroys his discipline, and nullifies his units as far as their fighting power is concerned. No Victory In Defense. "Our first axiom must be that to achieve its object a battle must not be purely defensive. A purely defensive battle, even well conducted, does not result In a victor and a vanquished. It is simply a game that must be begun over again. "From this it is an obvious coralary that an offensive, whether started at the beginning of an action or whether it follows the defensive, can only give results, and. In consequence, must always be adopted at the finish. "To maintain our position is not synonymous wit hbelng victorious and even prepares for a defeat. If we remain where we are and do not pass to the offensive to fix the direction of attack, to guard against the plans of the enemy, and prevent him from carrying out the same maneuver, we must undertake to carry on and sustain numerous combats, each with determined aim. AM Depends on Reserve. "But since there remains no doubt that decisive attack is the very keystone of a battle, all other actions which make up a battle must be envisaged, considered, organized, provided with forces In the measure in which they will prepare, facilitate, and guarantee development of a decisive attack characterized by its mass, Its surprise, Its speed, and for which, in consequence, it is essential that there hall be the maximum reserve force possible of troops of maneuver. "The reserve that Is to say, the prepared bludgeon is organized and kept carefully Instructed to execute the single act of battle from which results are expected namely, the decisive attack. "Reserves must be husbanded with the most extreme parsimony so that the bludgeon may be strong enough to make the blow as violent as possible. Let loose at the finish, without any lurking Idea of saving them, with a well thought out plan for winning the

battle at a point chosen and determined reserves are thrown in all together in an action surpassing in violence and energy all other phases of battle, an action with proper characteristicssurprise, mass, and speed. All our forces really participate, either by preparing it or by carrying it out. Warns Against Errors. "In this, our supreme aim, we must not be deceived by appearances. Although theory fails when applied by feeble hands and when accessories obscure the main principle, history and reason show us that In battle there is a single argument which is worth while namely, decisive attack, which is alone capable of assuring the defired result the overthrow of the ada ersnry."

f'Boys When We Left, Well be Men When We Return" Writes Soldier

"We were boys when we left, nut we will be men when we get back." Daniel Freeman with the 8th American infantry In France, wrote in his Mother's Day letter to his mother. Mrs. N. H. Freeman, formerly a resident of Richmond, but now of Gas City, Ind. "TOday is Mother's Day, and all the fellows are being urged to write mother a letter today," the letter, dated May 12, says, "and so you will know that today thousands of boys are thinking of mother. "And Mother, dear, you do not know how much I love you or how much I think of you these days. I picture you as I last saw you, in the daytime, and I dream of you at night. And oh, you don't realize how much I would hke to see you again. "How well I remember how you bade me good will and God speed when I left. And I know that you are proud of your boys that are over here oen as many other mothers are proud of their boys. Yes; we were boys when we left, but we'll be men when we get back. "And I know that you will not worry when letters from us do not come reggularly. But that is in the game you know, and we mr.Bt play the game a3 it is laid down to us. And even if the letters do not come regularly, remember that we are always wondering how mother is today. Yes, it Is always today. Yesterday is past and tomorrow never comes. Every thought of you brings home all that is dear to

us, father, sister and brother. We think of them, and love them all, and we know that you are all doing your best for our welfare while we are away from home. The tobacco and knicknacks and papers that you send are appreciated even more than a fine birthday or Chirstmaspresent would be if I were at home. "And while we are over here, doing our bit, remember that distance does not lessen our love and affection for the old folks back home. "Goodby, good luck, and God bless you."

Preprations Under Way for National Campaign - (By Associated Press.) SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 10. Preparations are well under way by the Indiana War-savings Committee for the national drive on June 28, in conformance with the proclamation of President Wilson issued May 30. Originally it was planned that June 28 be declared a holiday and that taxpayers should meet at school houses or some other central points. Because of loss of time and money incident to suspension of business the decision has been reached to hold meetings at 8 o'cock in the evening at designated places, instead of in the afternoon. Lists of tax payers are being prepared by county chairmen. Pledge cards are being received by the state committee from Washington, On one side of thecard is a blank to show the number of war-savings stamps owned by the tax payer and members of his family, and a pledge to save and economize and buy stamps as indicated. On the other side is space for records to be kept by the selling agent as stamps are delivered. Through the county committees the cards will go to the tax payers. On June 28 they will be collected. Copies will be made and records kept to show whether pledges, are redeemed. The records will go to Washington and in that way the govermnent will be able to shift results.

Another cantonment nurse writes: "After so many years out of the hospital, I doubted my ability to give good service, but it is with a sense of honest pride that I write that the work is absorbing.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 10. David P. Porterfield. secretary of the Better Business Bureau" of Indianapolis, who is leading a movement for the enactment, by the Indiana Legislature, of a law to protect the public against fly-by-night . promoters, reported an interesting incident In support of the feeling of the bureau that such a law should be passed, at a meeting of the bureau yesterday. He told of entering an elevator in an Indianapolis office building where the suits rent for an uncommonly high price, just as three other persons, two well-dressed men and a welldressed woman, entered the lift. The three of them were talking about selling stock in some enterprise, and had evidently just left the offices of the concern. "I certainly know that proposition all the way through now," said the woman. "You may know too much about it to sell it well," said one of the men.

"It Is possible to know too much about them sometimes." "That's right," said the other man. who seems to have found definite knowledge a handicap at some time. One of them asked the woman where she was going to sell whether she was going to take some Ohio territory which they had aparently discussed previously. "No, there's a blue sky law over there," she said. "And In Illinois." said the other man. "In fact," he added, "there is not a state within 500 miles of Indiana that does not have a blue sky law. It's Indiana or no place near here now." In other words, Mr. Porterfield told the Better Business Bureau, the stock they were planning to sell was not of a character that would meet with the approval of blue sky commissioners, as they were going to folow the practice of other promoters and dump it in this 6tate.

GERMAN URGES CLOSER UNION WITH AUSTRIA

Says Alliance Must Bring Middle Europe Under Domination of Central Powers. (By Associated Press.) AMSTERDAM, June 10. Permanent economic and military union between Germany and Austria-Hungary, "with the gradual disappearance of customs duties and frontiers," is proposed by Frledrich Von Payer, imperial vice chancellor of Germany, in a statement published in the Neu Frie Presse of Vienna and quoted in the Vossi&che Zeitung of Berlin. ' Included in this scheme of Mittel Europe under domination of the Central Powers are Russia, Poland, Bulgaria and Turkey. The vice chancellor points out that, with this union once effected, the peace of Europe would be In the bands of the Teutonic allies, the settlement of vexing problems arising from the war would be made more -easy, and the solution of Internal questions would be made more easy, and tho solution of internal questions would also be facilitated. In his statement the Vice Chancellor said in part:

"The present form of the alliance is Inadequate. In view of the fact that vital questions are concerned, the duration of the alliance must not depend continually on the feelings at the moment. Successive treaties of short duration lapse. The- union must be so intimate that the idea of separation practicably wiuld be out of the question and the center of gravity o fthe alliance must be held in an economio union."
