WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY

Interesting and inspiring are the accounts which our American women war workers bring back from France. One of the most recent to return is Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., whose experiences cover seventeen months j of active service with the Y. M. C. j A. in France during America's parti- j clpatlon in the war. Mrs. Roosevelt, was sent overseas early in 1917 as the i ill SI avVICUikCU nuuiau " vi v v mv Y. M. C. A. This was before it was forbidden officers' wives to enter foreign service. The impressions of Mrs. Roosevelt of the welfare work of the Y. M. C. A. give a clear idea of the task in those days when all the efforts were largely experimental. First she worked in a Paris canteen. Then at an officers' club in Paris and next at the great "Y" center at AIxles Bains, where from 4,000 to 4.500 enjoyed short furloughs from the trenches. These men were high strung and hard to please, according to Mrs. Roosevelt's story, but with tireless efforts on the part of the hostesses they were given as much rest .and pleasure as possible. "Our work at the start was ubiquitous," she explains. "We waited on table, scrubbed floors, painted walls and shelves doing, by the way, no more than the gallant French women. CHURCH TRIBUTE TO GEO. H. KNOLLENBERG Tribute to the late George H. Knolleuberp was paid at a memorial serv ice held Sunday night at St. Pa'-'l's Lutheran church. Dr. Conrad Huber. of Lakevllle, O., former pastor of St. Paul's church gave the main address of the evening. "Mr. Knollenberg was a great man," said the speaker. "He was great in business, great as a benefactor, great in the community, great as a moralist, great as a Christian." The Rev. F. W. Rohlflng conducted the opening service. Timothy Nicholson gave a short talk as a representative of Earlham, praising the friendship of Mr. Knollenberg for the college, and describing him as a true friend of Christian education. Ray Robinson paid a tribute to the deceased ps a man who had done much for the Y. M. C. A., and who had ben one of the founders of the association heie. Gurney Hill, Richard Sedgwick and E. M. Haas praised Mr. Knollenberg as a man whose friendship they had enjoyed, and as a man who had done much for the church and the community. A letter from Dr. Jacob Kapp of Cincinnati was read by E. M Kasemeier. Two of Mr. Knollenberg's favorite hymns were sung by the choir. Miss Marjorie Beck played the organ prelude and Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier directed the choir music. Local Girl Is Appearing at Murray This Week Owing to illness, eleventh-hour cancellations, and other causes, over which they had no control, the management of the Murray regret they were not permitted to keep their vaudeville up to the standard last week, and are going to make It up by augmenting the bill Tuesday anrt Wednesday with Francis and Hur.id a Keith big-time act, who are in Richmond the guests of Miss Francis's mother, Mrs. St. Clair, of The Jeffer eon flats. It will doubtless be a surprise to those who applauded and laughed at their offering last Satur day night at the Murray, to know they were being entertained by Richmond talent, but their act went over so bis, that Manger Holland has added them to his regular bill Tuesday and Wednesday, making four acts for those days.

ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Do you think they have a right to object? What should I do with a fellow who is always breaking dates but always gives some good reason? I love him dearly and could not give him up. Should a girl go with a man whose folks object to his going with her for no other reason than that they want him to marry someone else? BLUE EYES. Your parents have a right to object to you going with the man and you should do as they think best about the matter. The young man is evidently show ing that he does not want to go with you by breaking dates with you ana you should have nothing more to do with him. A girl should not go with a man whose parents object to his going with her. All through life the parents will make it unpleasant for her in every way possible. Among other reasons that you should quit going with the other man is the fact that you are too young. We cooked doughnuts and made sand wlches. The men seemed greatly gratified by the Y' work. Any com plaints which have been made are those to be expected from a large number of men. We had to combat the natural tendency of the men re leased from the horrors of front line service to the relaxation of vacation hours to complain about various things." Mrs. Roosevelt nursed her husband, Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevent, Jr., for several months when he was sent to Paris seriously wounded.

Defense Society Would Eliminate Teaching German (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Dec. 30. A nation wide campaign is being conducted by j the American Defense society to eliminate the teaching of German in the schools throughout the United States. In a letter written the principals of public schools, private schools and colleges throughout the country the society urges that French, Italian, Spanish and Russian should be giveq prominence in the curriculum with a view to strengthening trade relations between these countries. The letter which is signed by Dr. William T. Hornaday, reads: "Reports are rife that with the ending of the war there is to be an attempt to force upon our American youth the language of the people whose hands are stained with the blood of their fathers and brothers. The German language has been used as a weapon directed at the heart of America by German propagandists. It is the opinion of many of our prominent educators that German is not an essential in any course of study, and Tne next live years win witness a crystallization of educational opinion and upon that crystallization will depend the future of American education. "For those who would study a language for its future utility the choice lies between French, Spanish, Italian and Russian as our trade relations with these countries will be immeasurably increased now that peace is in sight. To study German would be to condone the atrocities perpetrated by the people who speak this language." Costa Rica's coffee exports for last season total 25,246,711 pounds. The United States took 96.45 per cent of the shipments.

V : CAMPAIGN OF 1918 WHICH WON FOUR YEARS' STRUGGLE REVIEWED

Continued From Page One. ampled In fury and reinforced by gas shells in enormous quantities. The surprise was complete In ita effect, a fog deprived the doomed Fifth Army of the advantage of most of ita preparations. Its support lines were at best in poor condition and In the first day of the attack the line was pierced at four places. Yet through this day and the next the amy fought on doggedly, retiring slowly but maintaining Its front intact. ' By the third day, however, the ruin was complete: the Fifth Army had dissolved into gallant fragments, a great gap was opening between the British and the French, and continued to widen for several days during which all the French reserve armies, .which had been awaiting a German atack upon their own front at the Chemin des Dames, were rushed up - and thrown in. In this time the German host pushed relentlessly on, passed the Somme, crossed the battlefield of 1916, reached the Ancre, took Albert and south of the Somme approached within ten miles of Amiens, the vital center of railway communications. Southward the flood reached and passed Noyon, touched the Lasslgny high lands and extended to Montdidier. Foch Called to Command. In the midst of the disaster France and. Britain, with America.' decided up on a momentous step General Foch, victor of the Maine and of the Yser was called to supreme command. He came when the first fury of the German storm had worn itself out. In the last days of March the Germans had finally been halted just east of the main Amiens-Paris railway and ust north of the Lassigny heights, the lost union betwen British and French armies had ben restored. But a tremendous defeat had involved the loss of 150.000 prisoners, mainly British, and more than 2,300 guns. Ludendorff had not merely regained the ground lost in the great retreat of 1917, but had approached Amiens and broken new ground which had not seen the invader since September, 1914. While Foch reorganized the situation in Picardy a new German blow fell in Flanders. Failing to stir the Third British Army, which under Byng held the ground north of the Fifth and about Arras, the Germans had turned north and breaking the front of Home's First British Army in a sector held by the Portugese, had flowed over into the region south of Ypres. taking all the famous fighting round, the "Whltesheet" Ridge, Passcaaendaele Ridge and finally Mount Kemmel. the key to Ypres Itself. Once more, as in 1914 the German drive was headed for. Calais and in the last week of April, Haig issued a final appeal to the British army "fighting with its back to the wall". In this critical situation the line held, French reserves arrived, the situation stabilized itself, following a bloody defeat of the Germans on April 29, which, in reality closed the German offensive efforts in Flanders. Race of U. 8. Troops. From April 29 to May 27 a long pause ensued. The Allies had suffered frightfully, the British loss alone exceeded 300.000, there was still no chance of taking the offensive and

to America to drop all other prepara tions and send men. The campaign became, in Lloyd George's words, a "race between Wilson and Ludendorff." It was to be won by the former but not before September could Foch expect large American numbers, sufficient to give him the advantage in this respect. After a delay incident to refitting their machine, the Germans struck again, this time against the French at the Chemin des Dames and again won a great Immediate success. All the enormously strong positions north of the Aisne were taken in a day. the Germans pushed south across the Aisne and the Vesle, turned westward and began a new drive to Paris, one flank resting upon the Marne, the other upon the Aisne below Soissons, which they had retaken. A new and deadly crisis ensued. French numbers. were failing, American numbers were still small but in this emergency the Marines and two regular infantry regiments immediately available were put in about Chateau Thierry and along the roads north of the Marne leading to Paris. They were for the moment the sole barrier on the German road to Paris, but the Germans were already weary with their efforts and in the first days of June the lines again stabilized themselves with Soissons and Chateau Thierry in German hands. Italy's Great Defeat. Meantime to the westward the Germans in the first days of June strove to force their way southward along the Oise toward Paris, with Compiegne as their immediate objective. In this effort they, for the first time, encountered a severe check, indeed, to ward the close of the engagement Mangin a counter-offensive on their flank, which regained ground. This was, in my judgment, the turning point in the campaign; it was the first measureable failure of Ludendorff and the initial return to the offensive of Foch, inconsiderable, to be sure. Another month passed while the Germans renewed their strength for what, it was now clear, must be the final blow, since American troops were arriving in great numbers, the season was passing and the German ' public was becoming restive. In this time Austria was thrown against Italy on the Piave and suffered a disastrous defeat, which had a great moral effect on both sides of the firing line. As it turned out this was the beginning of the long series of Allied successes never again to be interrupted, but at the moment, it was the first gleam of sunlight after three months of agony. Finally, on July 15, Ludendorff flung his remaining reserves againsi tho French and Americans holding the lino from Cbauteau Thierry to the Argonne. His purpose was to break through east and west of Rheims, envelop and take that town and its defensive positions , behind, clear both banks of the Marne and begin a wide swinging advance upon Paris, It was the final effort to win the campaign and th6 war by a Napoleonic victory, the '"Peace Storm." following the "Kaiser Battle,", to use the German phrases . of that boast. Foch Begins Campaign. - But by July 18, the supreme effort had fa'.led on both sides of the City of Rheims, completely failed between Rheims and the Argone, where Gouraud won a notable victory, measureably failed betwen Rheims and Cha-

tean Theirry, where the Germans crossed the river and wrere still gaining ground, but only at great cost and clowly. In this situation Foch suddenly struck back upon the extended and open flank of the Germans between the Marne and the Aisne, using American as wel as Fench troops, in Mtngin's spearhead thrust. The result was Immediate and decisive. It was a repetition of the strategy of the first Marne and it had the same outcome. Ludendorff was compelled to draw his beaten troops out of the Marne salient, pursued bv Americans and French. He sufferet: great losses in material, evacuated Soissons and the territory south of the Aiene, but what was more important, by his retreat he confessed the 'failure, not of bis immediate effort but of Lid whole campaign. Germany had shot her bolt. She had lost the offensive

and it now remained to be seen wheth er she could hold out on the defensive until the end of the campaign. On August 8, Foch began his campaign. He threw Rawlinson's Fourth British army against the Germs r.r. holding a great salient from Arras. round to the outskirts of Soissons, broke in the side of this salient, taking thousands of prisoners and g'inF, and then deliberately widened the area of dislocation by throwing French armies against the salient all the way round to the heights north of the Aisne. Under pressure and losing heavily in men and material. L iaorn staggered DacK to tne old k.jo-s I tempted to make a stand Americans Win Victory. But while die was seeking to do this, Ludendorff vas suddenly assailed north of the Somme by Byng, who turned his flanV-retook Bapaume and forced a retlremNt upon the old Hindenburg line from'vhich the Germans had emerged on March 21. And when Byng's blow had exhausted its possibilities, Horne. with the First British army struck astride the Scarpe and actually broke through a portion of the Hlndenburg line, approaching both Cambrai and Douai. By the first days of September Ludendorff was not only back in the Hindenburg line, but the chance of his holding the line was debatable. Meantime away out at the other end of the front Foch threw Pershing, with the First American Army against the German salient at St. Mihiel, south of Verdun, and the Americans won. a swift and considerable victory, taking many guns and prisoners approaching Metz and giving Ludendorff a new cause for anxiety, since at last the American contribution was becoming Important in numbers and van now destined to increase by several hundreds of thousands each month. Hard on the heels of the American victory at St. Mihiel came two decisive battles in the East. Allenby, In Palestine destroyed two Turkish armies north of Jerusalem and not merely broke Turkish resistance in Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia, but, as the event proved, eliminated Turkey from the war. No victory in all history was more complete and all German hopes in Turkey fell Instantly to dust and ashes. Bulgars' Power Destroyed. In the same hour D'Esperey, in Macedonia, attacked the Bulgars and in a struggle almost as brief, destroyed the Bulgarian power of resista'nee and thereafter promptly received the unconditional surrender of Bulgaria, which disappeared from the war, thus isolating Germany from Turkey, opening the way to the Allied liberation of Serbia and Rumania and the eventual invasion of Hungary from the Danube. Taken together with Allenby's victory, that of D'Esperey closed the fighting in the Near East and ended all German dreams of Mitteleuropa. While the news of these two victories was filling . the world, Foch moved to a general attack destined to turn the Germans out of their great system of defenses from the sea to the Meuse. ' On September 26 he threw the First American Army against the Germans. north of Verdun, Gouraud's army against them north of Chalons in Champagne and in the following days he loosed one army after another all the way to the sea. In the Argonne the Americans broke the first system of German defense, and streamed north toward the ' final line covering Sedan and the MetzMaubeuge railway. In Flanders the Belgians and British retook all the lost ground about Ypres, pressed over the hills and descended to the plain driving a wedge between the Germans and the Belgian sea coast and threatening eventual isolation.

fenses between Cambrai and St Quentin. By October 8 the line- had been left far behind, the last complete barrier to Allied advance was gone, while northward the French, British and Belgians were sweeping through western Belgium, clearing the seacoast and approaching the Scheldt, Lille and Rou- . baix, with Brugess and Ostend had ! fallen or were about to fall, Laon to (the south had gone. The Germans still had defense systems and were fighting with resolution, but it was I apparent to all that the jig was about ' up. Along the whole line, save before the Americans, where the Germans were massing reserves and making a desperate stand, the Allies were advancing and the limit of German abil ity to halt American troops was within plain sight. The closing act of the drama was now at band. In the south the Italians took the offensive and destroyed Austrian resistance in a brief battle which ended in an Indescribable rout. Austria ceased to have an army, hundreds of thousands of men flung down their guns, Trieste and Trent opened their gates and AustriaHungary surrendered on the battlefield. And ar this moment Serbia was liberated, Rumania rising against her German masters and Austria falling into ruin and fragents. Barriers Broken Down. .' final 6tand the Germans made in France in the last three weeks of the war behind the Scheldt from Ghent to Valenciennes, behind the MeuFe and in systems of defenses prepared between the two rivers. But by November 1, the British had forced the line of the Scheldt and were advancing upon Maubeuge and Mons, the French were sweeping all before them from Guise to Rethel and the Americans were at last through the final German barrier and were streamins forward to Sedan, whose suburbs tbey were to enter before the armistice was signed. And so, with the supreme disaster in sight, but not arrived, with their power of resistance not ended but approaching its end, with their armies still fighting well and retiring in good order, the Germans gave it up In the first days of November and on November 11, the armistice became effective and the Allied road to the Rhine was opened without further possibility of German resistance. Such, in brief. Is the story of the Campaign of 1918. It has two distinct phases, that of Ludendorff from March 21 to July 18. that of Foch from July 18 to November 11. . In these two phases there are certain clearly defined periods. There are the three German blows, that of March 21. which was a stupendous success, almost decisive; that of May 27. which was great and hardly less , threatening than that of March, and finally that of July 15, which ended in complete German defeat three days later, when Foch, the German blow i parried, passed to ' the offensive and j threw Mangin with his Ftanco-Ameri-jcan forces against Ludendorff's flank ; and began the march which has in ! recent days ended at the Rhine, only by Allied choice, for the road to Berlin lies open. Germany has been conquered, was conquered between July and November. Question of Morale. Looking backward, how shall one assess the causes of German failure and Allied success? Both sides posessed great commanders, although the superiority of Foch . is incontestlble. The first German blow was one of the most perfectly planned thrusts in all military history. It surprised and almost destroyed an enemy, who could and did rely upon the fact that in four years of the warfare of positions there had been no successful break through in the west. Ludendorff brought superior numbers secretly to the decisive point, he won his great battle, but the battle failed to be decisive mainly because Allied resistance continued beyond the calculated point and the German striking force was exhausted before the actual knockout could be delivered. And of the Flanders strike the 6ame is to be said. The second German blow, that above the Aisne, was less heavy, despite its initial success, tut it too wore Itself out without attaining a decision. Again the final blow could not be delivered, and the Germans were suddenly confronted In the first days of June by a counter offensive recalling Joffre's momentary venture at Guise Jn 1914, where he suddenly turned and wan a considerable victory. Still unwarned Ludendorff pursued his strategy to the final test. ' He risked all on one more battle, calculating as Moltke calculated in the days of the first Marne that the French were exhausted and the British out of it And again an amazed German commander-in-chief saw an enemy, already out of the battle by all the laws of military text books, return to the offensive, advance, succeed. French and British morale had . out

lasted German by July, thereafter It

was merely a question of how long German morale would last In defeat Foch's Strategy. Of Koch's strategy it la too eaiy to speak with exactness. His method was the exact opposite of the Geman. He did not seek to gather up all Ms energies and resources and deliver single collossal blow, which if successful would win the war, but if unsuccessful would paralyze him a long pe riod, while be was reconstructing his thunderbolt Rather his method was one of swift blows, each light, but each followed promptly by another at a new point, from the moment that the Ludendorff lost the Second Marne, to the end he was never able to reconstruct his own armies or escape from the mastery of Foch's plans, he had to meet one thurst after another, conform to bis foe's strategy until his cracking army was abandoned by a civilian populace which had completely collapsed. he last blow on July 15 of Ludendorff was as great a gamble as Napoleon's use of the Old Guard in the eloping hour of Waterloo. Had Ludendorff retired rather than advanced in July, regained strategic freedom by a retreat as Hindenburg had done in 1917, he might have escaped fnal disaster for the campaign of 1918. But this was bis last chance, nor is it improbable that in doing this he would have precipitated a collapse of the German public which would have hastened rather than delayed the end. Americans Turned Tide. In March the British were beaten, beaten as they have never been beaten in five hundred years of history. Even now one shudders in recalling those terrible days. In May the French were beaten although a far smaller fraction of their main massas was affected. But had there been no rush of American troops to Europe, becoming visible and in a slight mea sure available by the first days of June, the two allied defeats might have given Germany victory on the Continent a chance to write another Treaty of Tilsit such as Napoleon wrote in 1807 after Austerlitz, Jena and Friedland. But before we gave military aid. our troops supplied a moral stimulus, we became a vast bal ance in the bank soon to become avail able, at the moment when despair was abroad. History will. I believe, reckon that this was lost on the day the Germans decided upon their submarine block ade of 1917, which brought the United States into the war. This will be reckoned as fatal to Germany as was Moscow to Napoleon. Napoleon fought one more campaign in Germany after his Russian disaster, a great campaign which narrowly missed victory at certain moments, but his doom was written in the terrible events of the previous year. It was beyond the resources of France to 6upply him with the men necessary to continue his great victories, and once he .suffered a real defeat, the French people deserted him. It was the same with Ludendorff, he and those about him assured the German people that the war could be won be the submarine and the army before America could intervene. But when America intervened, after the German campaign had failed on sea and on land, the German people gave it up. they saw America at last correctly, and seing, surrendered. ; Greatest In War. We Americans reaped where others sowed, our victories were everywhere made possible by the endurance of tnose who had died in defeat or desperate defense, where we attacked. We- were still a small element in the total host, when the battle ended. But we had behind us numbers inexhaustable. we had been able to supply precious, perhaps decisive handfulls. In the worst days, and we were sweeping before us the remnants of forty German divisions who had striven vainly to check up. in the final act. In all ways the campaign of 1918 was the greatest In the war. in the history of modern war. It had all the terrible fascination of a battle Ion' in doubt: it had the final lift of a supreme victory. On the military side it revealed the decisive contest between t wo great military systems each splendidly represented by a great soldier. But the victory of the French system over the German was complete and the advantage of Foch over Ludendorff will never be questioned. And as the, war was saved at the Marne in 1914. so it seems to me it was won at the same stream in 1918 These are the supreme tests of the war, forever memorable in the history of human liberty. i A thirteen year-old girl In Ohio a member of a girls', club won first prize in her county bp putting up unassisted. 930 cans of fruits and vegetables. ,. . ."

ACHIEVEMENTS OF U.S. GAINED

JAPAN'S Military Strength of America oi I . ri . w; c onown Dy ran in war, .jays Japanese Educator. . TOKIO, Dec. 30. The rapidity with which the United States prepared for war and the magnitude and success of her military operations continue to draw expressions of admiration from Japanese. Generally sneaking, the public in Japan regarded the United States as a peace-loving nation, which, having no bent for war. could never do much In the building up of a great army. The wonderful transformation of America in the war Is the subject of many articles by prominent publicists. Thus, Dr. Shigeo Suyebiro, professor of Kyoto University, writes: "There is no disguising the fact that prior to the war, the Japanese did not believe in the military strength of America, but the present titanic struggle has demonstrated beyond all dcubt the error of the Japanese estimate. The United States has become a great military power at a bound and her navy is only second to that of Great Britain. The financial resources of America are something tremendous. It Is stated that America would be able to keep the war going for a quarter of a century at the rate of expenditure which she spent for the first year. Nor Is that all. Resources Unlimited. "The Americans are as great spiritually as their country Is almost limitless In her resources. Just Imagine that the Americans, whom some Japanese consider as slavish worshippers of mammon working for their country at an allowance of $1 a year; they endured the hardship of meatless and wheatless days In order to obtain a supply of surplus provisions available for the Allies; and no dissenting voice was raised against the proposed rehtriction of the manufacture of liquor. "The material and spiritual sacrifice made by the Americans in the cause of the war as evidenced in these and other things are really wonderful, showing, as they do, the greatness of America and her people." Dr. Suyehiro thought that it would be the height of absurdity for Japan to pick a quarrel with such a great country without a sufficient casus belli. Japan should stand for an open door policy In the Far East but in return she should receive similar treatment In Indo-China. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. He said that America had been excluding Japanese Immigrants, but he thought it very doubtful whether she was sufficiently justified in so doing. Japan, be said, should strive to have the United States correct her attitude, not by brute force, but by appealing to her sense of justice and humanity, aud this he applied with equal force to British and French territory where discrimination against the Japanese Is in force.
