writing from official Inaplralion, dls
cunsos Secretary laker's announce

von Ardenne, who. In Ilia Uusseldorf
Niii'hrlchton, last Tuesday, asserted
that hn did not believe the figures of
tha American man-power and that
numbers do not count anyliof.
. "Wa are unable to verify tha accu

They are only common fodder and
not the equals of our war-proved, nn-t-onquerable

The writer then goes on to argue
that what England failed to do, Am
erica cannot accomplish. He de
clares that the American fighting
man cannot be properly equipped,
because the American war material
manufacturers are awlndlera.
' After other criticism of the Amer-j
leans aa fighting men, the contribu
tor arrives at the following conclu
sion: "We do not believe there la a Urge
number of them In battle line and
even It It were true, we will whip
them anyhow."

With the American Army In Eng
land, June 7. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) America's
ncreased flow of troopa Into France
has brought to the British public a
realization of the magnitude of the
movement. The comings and goings
f force after force have Impressed
the resldenta of England with the
might of their new ally aa nothing
eUe has.
Since the first days of May the
growing volume has been apparent.
Wave after -wave of American troops
have moved forward from the ports
of arrival through the country to
rest camps and from there on to
the ports of embarkation with only
enough pause to get the sea wobble
out of the men's legs.
The number of rest camps tha
name that has come to be applied to
what really are concentration camps
has been increased, and British
traffic men are finding themselves
heavily taxed to maintain uninter
rupted the shuttle' of shipping be
tween England and France. The
British are doing that part of the
work and American officers have
been high In their praise of the ef
ficiency displayed.
Americans are In command of the
men when they land and are respon
sible for them In the temporary

Washington, July 12. In netting
forth the government's attitude to
ward the employment of women In
war Industries, the war Isbor policies
board today recommended that a
more general employment of older
men to relieve the labor shortage and
that w.otnen be more generally em
ployed In clerical, accounting and
cashier service. - .
The policy as outlined Is agalnat
the employment of girls under 21
years In running elevators, aa public
messengers, bellboys In hotels or
clubs, or in street cars, elevated and
subway transportation service. The
recruiting of mothers of young chil
dren for employment In war Indus

to the piera where ships are waiting
to carry them to France, but the
transportation both across the coun
try and overseas Is in the hands of
men who have been moving the Brit
ish millions since 1914.
It is at the rest camps tnat the
American soldier gets his first real
stop In the voyage he begah at an
American port. At the port of de
barkation be Is given scarcely a
pause and no opportunity whatever
to look around. From the ship that
brought him over he Is marched di
rectly to a waiting train. Then the
Journey to camp Is begun. But the
trains are fast and the country Is
mall so the Journey never la long.
' When the train stopa there is a
march, usually for two or three miles
but In some cases the column must
move on toot for ten or twelve mires
before camp la reached. To the
Britisher who sees passing every day
the thousands of men the sight Is Im
pressive. In London, at General Blddle'a
headquarters, statistical officers and
officers of the quartermaster corps
continuously go over tables of fig'
ures that vary only as the size of
donvoys vary, and direct the dis
tribution of each new lot of arrivals,
and eventually their re-shipment to
France.

ECU
A natlon-wtde campaign for the
recruiting of 25,000 nurses, both for
the army school of nursing, and for
all acredlted training schools con
nected with civilian hospitals, will
be launched on July 29. It Is de
signed to be a direct appeal to the
young womanhoed of America to en
ter upon a course of nurse training.
The appeal will be made on the basis
that every day of a student nurse'a
training represents a double patriotic
service, In that while she is prepar
ing for military duty later, she re
leases a graduate for military duty
now, and herself cares for the civil
ian population.
The local medical profession Is
asked to encourage the families of
their patrols to respond to this call.
Dr. J. O. Nlbley has the matter In
charge for Josephine county.

WONDER AT
GERMANS LOmG DELAY
Washington, July 13. The con
viction is gaining ground here that
the German high command haa en-'

ing the offensive on the western
front. They cannot believe the at
tack would be deferred voluntarily
when It Is obvious every day's delay
Secretary Baker said today noth
ing definite Is known here aa to the
reasons that compelled the German ,
delay. He made It dear that the fail
ure of the enemy to react against the
repeated successful local attacks
were accepted as conclusive evidence
the German offensive iras being held -In
-check by some consideration other;
than the purely practical one of pre
paring for storm troops. .
The pressure of local operations by
the allies from Ypres to Rheims con
tinues. Not a day has passed for
more than a week in which some
ground has not been wrested from

thousand prisoners have been taken.'
