a wnoie was retiring to its new po-
sitions which it has now reached.
Some of these garisons all of which
offered the most determined resist-
ance lost 58 percent or more of their
strength but the main command was
able to retire to the positions it had
long before selected in good order.
Germans Behind Schedule.
Copies of German orders show that
the Germans have failed every dav in
progressing as far as the schedule
called for. Troops guns and trans-
port of every kind in the rear of the
German advance furnish ideal targets
for the allied guns and the enemy
casualties are described as very large.
Ssme estimates vary from JO to 60
percent of all enemy divisions thus far
identified says one correspondent but
he does not attempt to vouch for the
accuracy of the figures. It Is said 95
German divisions totaling more than
1.000.000 men. have thus far been Iden-
tified in the assault.
German Losses ISsVeoO!
Commenting on the results of the
German offensive the Dally Chronicle
says:
"Assuming that the German losses
are at least 150.006. the enemy has
sustained a reverse for be has not ob-
tained a strategical success dlrectlv
conducing to a decision while he has
last 8 or 10 percent of his effectives
without similarly lowering the effi
ciency of the allies.
Tnia matter is of the greatest im
portance for Germany at present Is at
the crttltal moment when the man
power pendulum is swinging in favor
or the allies .vt weakness at the
Anglo-French junction has yet been

"The fall of Amiens might have
three-fold eomwiuences:
"It would bring the enemy to a
point from which to threaten our
northern line ft would assist them to

March 2i r-"Thera still be uo lost mo-

meat made by every soldier of this
command must be made with a dis-
tinct purpose." This is the opinion
of MaJ. Gen. Henry T. Allen com-
manding the 90th division national
army who has recently returned from
a oarefnl inspection of the English
French and Amerieaa troops In the!
war zone of Franca.
"The absolute necessity fox a co-
ordination of physical activity with
mental activity is apparent to those
who have seen service or have visited
the fronts in Europe" said Gen. Al-
len. "With this end in view the sol-
diers of Camp Travis are to be given
a thorough course of training of such
nature that will call into play not
only the muscles of the body but the
muscles of tfie braip.

and refreshments of punch cake and

and local members of the order.
The flag was dedicated by Rev.
Fuller Swift who exacted from all

J. J. Ormsbee made a statement re-

remainder payable after the war.

been shown that the German forces

It is the development of men In the
ranks who are capable of leading

Allen Is intending He says the men
themselves cannot be choosers of the

necessary that every soldier be able

Negroes Discharged
Because Shoes Would
Cost U. S. $20 Pair
Dallas. Texas. March 15. While
some exemption boards have been
weighing the claims of objectors to
military services who had revived
long forgotten dependents at least
tme Teaans willing to serve have re-
ceived honorable discharges because
the army decided it would put too
great a strain on the United States
government to keep them in shoes.
The recruits recently were dis-
charged from Camp Travis at San
Antonio because of the high price
of 'leather. Both were negroes from
the Texas bottoms and both were
valiant in their wishes to "get" the
German emperor. If either could
have stepped on him. It would have
ended the war. Each would have
worn shoes number 15 If the army
could have supplied them. It was es-
timated that shoes would have to be
made to order for them at a cost of
120 a pair and so they were sent back
to the farms.
Some of the exemption claims hare
been freeJcish. In Dallas a tearful
claimant pictured the suffering of his
grandmother If his support were re-
moved: An investigation proved she
had been dead rO years and In the
opinion of the board membera it was
the first time the objector had
thought of it. He was arrested and is
still in JaU.
