STRENGTH SUIMARIZED
London, Sept. 8.-The full strength
of the Germans on the whole west

source at less than 2,500,000.
The enemy has engaged 107 divi

Thirty-two of these dilvisions have
been used twice, three of them have
fought thrice.
The average strength of a German

thousand. When the war broke out
andl throughout the first year of the
conflict it was twenty thousand.

Y.M.C.A. NEEDS MEN
IN SOUTHERN CAMPS
While Red Triangle Continues to Cal
for Overseas Workers, 1,000 Are
Wanted for Home Service
Atlanta, (.a., August 26.-Men en
dowed with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and Navy
Y. M. C. A. to serve In the camps oi
the Southeast.
Dr. W. W. Alexander, general re
oruiting secretary for the War Per
sonnel Board of the Y. M. C. A. War
Work Council. declares that there Is a
pressing need for home service, and
that this affords a splendid opportun
ity to the man of middle age who is
not able to g9. abroad under the Red
Triangle.
"The Y. M. C. A. needs men for
overseas service, of course, but the
home cemps must not be forgotten,'
explained Dr. Alexander. "From now
on until the first of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1,000 men for
the home camps. This means that
each state will be called upon to fur
nish 26 men per month per state to
serve the soldiers In camps such as
Gordon, .Jackson, Wheeler and the
others. The constant growth of the
home cantonments and the growing
demand for the Y. M. C. A. work
makes it necessary to recruit "Y'
workers for this side."

GERMANS DECIDE
110 MAKE STAND '
London, Sept. 9.-The battle on the
western front is entering a new
phrase. The enemy at last is making
a serious stand just short of positions
commonly called the Hindenburg line
-positions which, however, already
have been bitten into by the British
from the Sen-aee river to Moeuvres t
and touched by the French in the St.
Gobain region at Servais and Bas- a
soles-Aulers. t
The Germans are doubling their f
their guards and seeking by counter- s
attacks to slow up the encroaching t
tide of the Allies. Their efforts have c
been vain, for both the French and a
British pushed forward yesterday in
the direction of St. Quentin. The t
French made such progress across the v
Crozat canal that the enemy no long- I
or can hope to defend it. o
Gei. Ilumbert's center is at to I
gates of La Fere, an( een. ilanguin's a
left is beginning to creep around the I
St. Gobain forest by the west, while e
his right beat off the enemy's attack i
by whic the Germans sought to cling t
to the Aisne front.
Gen. Ludendorff is working for the
respite which he must have if he is
to sort out his lisorganized divisions
and try to whip up some sort of a
strategic reserve. This respite, he i
hopes, his shortened front requiring I
less men in the line, will give him t
suufficient men to withstand his foe.
Marshal Foch is likely to be aware,
however, whether the enemy is suf
ficiently weakened and demoralized to i
be smashed in at some ypart of the
present battle front or whether a e
