World War II
Date Revived
(By United Press)
Last Saturday morning, the Ger
man army launched an offensive
in stiB-undisclosed strength against
a 70-mlle front along the Belgian
and Luembourg borders in what
front dispatches said might prove
Germany’s last major bid to halt
the Allies west of the Rhine and
win a compromise peace.
Twenty-six years ago, the last
great German offensive of World
War I was opened at dawn July 15,
1918, by 46 divisions hurled against
the American and French lines on
a 50-mile front north of the Marne
from Chateau-Thierry to Massiges
That drive collapsed within three
days, to be followed by the Allied
victory offensive that ended four
months later in the German capit
ulation.
Field Marshal Erich von Luden
dorf ordered the July 1918 offensive
at a moment when German home
and military morale was dangerously
low. The objective of the attack,
coupled with a still-more powerful
blow planned but never executed in
Flanders, apparently was to bolster
German morale and, at the same
time, to stir up political agitation
in the Allied countries for a negoti
ated peace.
Ludendorff planned to throw
one of his three armies across the
Marne west of Chateau-Thierry in a
strike for Epernay, while the re
maining two armies would deliver
the main blow southeast of Reims
against Chalons-Sur-Marne.
Marshal Henri Philippe Petain,
then French commander-in-chief,
blocked the drive with an elastic
defense in depth that permitted
the Germans some initial success.
The group was today addressed
by Mayor John S. Monagan while
religious articles and service kits
were dispensed among them.
Those who left today were as

EXPERT ANALYSIS
ON COAL SUPPLY
Waterburians Should Have
80% of Winter’s Solid
Fuel Supply Left
If you live in the Nutmeg State,
(Ou should not have used up more
han 20 percent of your total Win
er's quota of solid fuels on Decem
ber 1, even making allowance for
Connecticut’s slightly colder than
lormal weather during the first
hree months of the current heat
ng season.
In case you have used more, it’s
;oing to be tougher keeping warm
;he rest of the winter, according
o the Solid Fuels Administration
’or War Office, New Haven.
During the first three fuel-bum
ng months this fall and winter,
;emperatures in Connecticut have
•un somewhat lower than the aver
ige o fthose for the past 42 years,
iccording to the weather bureau’s
igures. This indicates that 80 per
:ent of the winter’s cold still faced
Connecticut residents after Decem
ber 1, if the weather returns to a
lormal course.
Even though anthracite, ooke and
llgh grade bituminous coal produc
tion is much higher than in peace
;lme, it is still short of meeting
bur tremendous wartime require
nents. With fuel deliveries limited,
beople who bum more than is war
ranted by the weather during the
'all and early winter will have to
ret along on proportionately less in
he period when temperatures nor
nally are lowest.
People can save fuel without dis
:omfort by such measures as ksep
ng heating equipment clean and in
rood order, economical furnace fiv
ng. avoiding, overheating, keeping
vlndows and doors closed, drawing
hades at night, closing off unused
ipace, weather stripping, storm
loors and windows, Insulation ,etc.
Jot only it is good heating insur
ance to do so, but it is patriotic and
aves, too boot.
