By Martin Green (Staff Correspondent of The Evening World) HREE months ago—on July 18, to be exact—the Allies, under pressure of prodigious German military preparations which men. aeted the City of Paris, launched the first great counter offensive) of 1918 out of the Forest of Villere-Cotteret, in the direction of the SolssonsChateau-Thierry road. The bulk of the pressure of this attack was exerted by the! Ist and 2d Divisions of the American Army and the Moroccan Division of the French Army, Two other American divisions and three other French divisions) took supporting parte in the movement, and a few dayr later crack English and Scottish divisions joined in the assault on the German Hine between Montdidier and Soissons. In just three months the Allies have won the war. ‘They have compelled Germany to ask for an armistice and promise to evacuate territory which cost them four years of effort. There is a parallel between tails achivement and the achievements of the Germans in the early days of the war. It took the Germans a little less than two months In 1914 to sweep over Belgium and occupy one-third of France and advance almost to the walls of Paris. Now, after four years of the most sanguinary struggle In history, which has cost on the western front alone the lives of some five million men, the Germans are getting out of French and Belgian territory almust as rapidly as they entered it, and they are clamoring for an armis iy eration!

In my boyhood in a Middle Western city populated largely by Germans because the United States Govern ment had invited to sett fn that section and start vineyards in the paraiiet lies the reason why the Allies have in three months prac- tically cleaned up a four years’ warld war, f™ the carty days of the war when the Germans, seemingly irresistible, wene trampling over the brave but ineeffclent Belgian forces, beating back the hastily assembled, poorly equipped and inadequately ordnanced French soldiers, wearing their blue coats and red trousers, and rapidly kiting off England's “oontemptible lithe army,” the rest of the world loomed on in wonder. Germany ap- parently was about to accomplish @ sixty-day clean-up. But the world listened tn vain for a whimper from France or Great Britain. There was no talk of peace among the retreating, sometimes over- whelmed Entente ermed forces or among the Entente Governments. ‘There was no thought of surrender. ‘rhe French Government moved to t breweries have since been practically destroyed by the United States Gov *suoor WHEN READy | PERSHING -LET'S Go No DISPUTE |ABOUT “THE NEw Bi SABNE Cis GERMAN i in as jurists, because they Ward Beecher, pious souls, must feel to hear Private Deleted forcibly ex- press himself on having to arise at 545 A.

He has a candidly conservative atti- tude as to the part a woman plays in the world, and sees her as the one who “stands by” rather than as the one who forges ahead. “I think that the most neglected, the most undeveloped fleld in Amer ica,” he assured me, “is the one which seems naturally to belong to women and which they avoid. I refer to the fleld of home economics. It is much jer for a man to earn $5 a day than fora woman. She should be the conserver, Yet she appears to feel that there is something undignified about domestic service, even in her own home. A wife may play a very important part in her husband's suc cess.” My own reaction to that remark is what it was two years ago—that it is unfair not to allow a woman her own success, to insist that she enjoy \t vicariously, through her husband ( like to believe that a man of Mr. Schwab's intelligence may have hchanged this particular opinion since witnessing the many self-made suc- cesses of women during the war years.
