FOCII MAY WAIT UNTIL FALL TO LAUNCH DRIVE Von Hindenburg is Expected to make a New Move This Week. WASHINGTON. June 24 American forces, co-operating with the British and French, are nibbling at the lines of the enemy on the western front, seeking information as to the time and direction of the next German drive. From information already obtained and from the indications that the Austrian drive of the Italian lines has proved abortive, the expectation is that Hindenburg will make a new move this week, either .in the direction of Paris or with the channel ports as his main objective. ' All along the line from Niewport to Lorraine, official advices show, the allied armies are carrying out nightly multiple raids for the capture of prisoners. Such counter-raids as have been made thus far by the Germans, army officers here declare, are to locate the sore spots in the line of the defenders. Despite the enormous weekly increase in the size of the American force in France, now totaling on toward 1,000,000 men, it still is the belief of military experts here that no general offensive will be launched by the allies on the western front until late fall or next spring. General Foch is determined to undertake nothing of the kind until his numerical superiority is so overwhelming as to make resistance on the part of the enemy futile. The game from Hindenburg's standpoint, on the other hand, continues to be the one of seeking a decision before that numerical superiority is piled up against him. Therefore, it is argued, he must continue to strike at all costs. On the British theory that a minimum of five or six months is required to fit British contingents arriving in France for front line duty, the American troops arriving now in France at the rate of 100,000 a week will be fully trained by fall, should the allied offensive be decided on for that period.

WINCHESTER

French War "Celebrities" Outdo Panch and Judy (By Associated Press) PARIS, June 24 Almost overnight Paris has produced two war celebrities, and it is safe to say that not even Punch and Judy ever enjoyed greater popularity. They are Nenette and Rintintin. Nenette is a droll little woman with a funny red face, a green waist and a scarlet skirt. Rintintin has the same penchant for striking colors, but wears trousers. Both are about an inch or two high and are made of a few scraps of wool and silk thread. They are inseparable, a bit of colored worsted binding them together. Women wear them, without shame around their necks. Men hide them In their pockets. For they are mascots against air raids and the long range gun. No one seems to know exactly where they came from. Some say they were created by a shop girl's active mind and clever fingers, and that she gave them the queer pet names of two tiny refugees from Amiens. The first rule to observe when acquiring this wonderful couple is not to buy them. If you do they are no longer mascots, but hoodoos. The second rule is that they must be made by the lady who gives them to you,, or there is no telling what may happen.

Read Every Word of Questionnaire Carr Tells New Registered Men

The attention of all registered men who will receive questionnaires this week is called to the fact that they must very carefully read every question and see that they are all correctly answered, the chairman of the Richmond selective board said Monday. "There is considerable important information in fine print beneath the lines upon which the answers to questions are to be written," said Mr. Carr "and I want all registrants to read every word of this so there will be no mistakes. If questionnaires are not

. properly filled out in every respect the i registrant will have to appear before

iub uuaru ana uiis wju, mean jobs ui time from his work." The first questionnaires will be sent to men who registered for service on June 5, 1918. About, 40 will be sent during the day, and 40 each day during the next three days until all of them have been mailed out. - Numbers Left Blank. The order and serial numbers on the questionnaires are to be left blank, the instructions stating that these will be supplied later. 1 Under the selective service law the questionnaires must be returned to the bboard within seven days after they are mailed out, the date appearing on each questionalre. The legal advisory board composed of every attaorney in Wayne county, will assist the young men in filling out their questionnaire properly, and no fee is charged for this work. Every registrant should take his blank form to some attorney, the chairman of the Richmond board said, before answering any of the questions. For the benefit of new registrants it is pointed out by the board that failure to return questionnaire within the seven day period, unless the time is extended by the consent of the board, constitutes a misdemeanor and is punishable by not to exceed one

J year in prison or immediate induc

tion into the service. Any person desiring to claim deferred classification by either the local or district board on any grounds may, within seven days from the date

thereof, submit such claim to the board, accompanied by sworn affidavits and evidence as to the authenticity of the claim. The rules to be followed in the mailing, the return and classification of the registrant are the same as those used under the system last year. The board cannot be held responsible for the failure of the registrants to receive the questionaires, and the young men are urged to be on the lookout for their papers.
