New York Feb 16 — Secretory Ba-
ker’s announcement that the United
States will soon have half a million
troops in Frapce means that General
Pershing will be able to conduct of-
fensive operations on a front of twen-
ty miles which is approximately the
maximum desired in trench opera-
tions A properly conducted offensive re-
quires the use of six thousand troops
per mile for the first series of for-
ward movements A major advance
along a front of twenty miles should
necessitate an army of 120000 men
with more in reserve- General Per-
Bhing could undertake operations of
this magnitude if he had five hun-
dred thousand men under him and
allow at the same time for the ade-
quate holding of the trenches on both
sides of the offensive area with a
strong reserve force to make good
casualties
After the first half million Ameri-
cans get into action it is not proba-
ble that those actually engaged in
fighting will exceed that number for
at least a year The newcomers will
be used to fill up depleted ranks and
to act as reserves France has not
more than two million men actually
in the trenches and this number can
be accepted as the probable maxi-
mum of her present fighting strength
For America to send an army across
the Atlantic equal to twenty-five per
cent of the French forces and keep
that army up to its full strength
would be one of the most remarka-
ble attainments in military history
At the same time it will be neces-
sary for America’s half million to co-
operate intimately with the French
forces In the sectors near the Ameri-
can sone if the chances of full victory
are not to be thrown away In Lo-
valne opposite the American trench-
es the German general staff is con-
centrating a new army to oppose the
Americans
Germany had not more than one
thousand men to the mile along the
Lorraine front previous to the arrival
of General Pershing in France Since
then von Hindenburg has given deep
attention to the problem of defend-
ing German soil against an American
- offensive For this reason there
must be intimate Franco-Amerlcan
co-operation despite General Persh-
ing’s ability to take the initiative
alone A sustained offensive is nec-
essary to wear down Germany’s new
forces in Lorraine and that is possi-
ble only if the French and American
troops work together

Alderson has resigned as chairman of
Surgical Dressings having accepted
a position ni the city schools Mrs
Ralph R Cain has been appointed
chairman In her place
The surgical dressings are needed
and very badly but we must not
think that the great call for them
should cause the making of hospital
garments to stop Both the surgical
dressings room and sewing room
shouldbe full of workers every day
There are new garments coming each
week to be made
The ladles who sew should make
greater efforts than ever to fill the
room with earnest workers Our boys
are filling the hospitals Can’t we
come and give three days two days
one day or as much time more or less
as we can Our hospitals in France
must be supplied with garments The
need is great Women of Ada the
call is to us to show our patriotism
Arrange your households that you
may come and sew for the boyB and
men who are fighting our battles
suffering and perhaps dying for us
who stay at home

ernor Williams has inserted a new
condition in paroles he grants in the
future and this he will observe as
closely as the others Every man re-
ceiving a parole must agree that be
will seek work on the farm in Okla-

effort to the production of farm pro-

could not be freed so be could work
the farm the boy would have to claim
his exemption from army service The
request was granted

Why Hatch Early
Chickens hatched early in the
spring are large In the summer ma-
ture early in the fall and lay eggs
in the winter They will sit early the
following spring produce earlier
chickens and the process will be re-
peated by the offspring
But the chickens hatched late In
the spring will not mature until late
In the fall — so lute that they will not
lay in the winter They will not alt
until late in the following Bpring —
and again the process will be repat-
ed The Jury finds that the argument
is all in favor of early hatching — es-
pecially this year

MESSAGES TO HUNS
Washington Feb 36 — The much
ridiculed German sausage may be
playing an important part toward
disintegrating the kaiser’s army
France’s message to German troops
that they will do well to surrender
and give the password "Kamarad
Republique’’ is being carried to the
German front lines in sausage meat
Small vials containing the mes-
sage on oiled paper dropped in Ger-
many from allied airplanes and rela-
tives who hope for peace and the
lives of their men slip the message
into things they send tho troops
Many of those receiving th3 message
surrender and surpi singly lew spies
have been found among their num-
ber Information to this effect was giv-
en today to th house committee on
Postal Expenditures which was
hearing a representative on the Com
mittee on Public Information on the
propaganda campaign being carried
on in Germany by tbe allies
Propaganda pamphlets showing
that the war aims of tbe allies are
for the overthrow of the Prussian

for a German Republic are also us-
ing their own methods for having
troops surrender giving the pass-
