IfABniHtrroH, Nov. 9. Should tha
firman anny eleot to fight further the
commander! no longer would be able to
Ehlft troops alone lateral communlca
lon lines to meet the thrusts of the
kllUd forces. In his weekly Interview
o-dy Gen. March, Chief or Start; em
phaslied the Importance of the advance
to Sedan and the capture of Maubeuge,
which has deprived the Germans of the
Valenclennes-Meti railway line. Behind
the Germane now are only lines run
pint back Into (let-many.
Oen. March also nWilo It clear that
the American Army would be In France
tor some time even If peace Is declargd.
(Supplies must continue to be sent to -it
and a great amount of shipping must
L available and used before it can be
proofht back.
The statement was prompted by the
erroneous report cf the signed armis
tice published Thursday afternoon, which
Den. March-said had been a very bad
thing for the military programme.
"For Instance." Gen. March said, "In
(Cew York stevedores who. were working
en ships sending supplies abroad to our
troops stopped work to Join the gen
ml celebration and many did not re
turn the next day. Our army has got
to have supplies no matter what hap
pens." Last Lateral Railway Gone.
News of the shifting. , of many corps
and divisional commanders waa also
gtvsn out by the Chief of Staff. The
American armies aro now made up of
seven army corps, which would mean
forty-two divisions. Major-Gen. Charlca
Jt Menoher, who has commanded the
Rainbows all through tho fighting in
France, has been placed In command
of the new Seventn Army Corps. In
his talk Gen. March said:'
"The Valenclennes-Metx railway, which
was the enemy's connection line along
this portion of the western front, has
been severed first by bombardment
near Montmedy. east of Sedan ; next at
Aulnoye and Maubeuge, where It loins
the JJamur-IJege railway, and finally on
Thursday and Friday at Sedan and
Mexierea, where u Joins the railway
down the Meuse. As a result the enemy
now has no line parallel td Its front, but
has only lines which radiate toward the
front; therefore it would be difficult for
him to shift forces from one sector to
another to meet a new attack.
The advance of the American First
Army to Sedan covered more than thirty
miles In eight flays. Since July 18 the
retirement of the encmjvhas Increased
the distance between his7 line and Paris
from thirty-six miles to more than 100
miles. On July 18 the enemy occupied
approximately 10,000 square miles of
French territory : he tow holds less than'
2.500 square miles.

It was to be done out of hand, and
America was to be too late to be of

oversee It all. So, politically v.d other
wise, the Kaiser was for a while In high

But It did not last. The promise of

HAD GIVEN AWAY $10,000
Spent $600 in an Evening, but
Still Had $25,000 Left
for tho Firm.
There waa sorrow last night In the
little front flat on the fourth floor of the
apartment house at 16S5 First avenue.
Samuel Shapiro, the nineteen-year-old
son, was In Jail for theft, the supper he
always before has shared with the fam
ily stood uncooked on the table, the
father and mother were away (perhaps
seeking ball for Sam no ono knew)
and Bertha, his sister, sat mourning
over the stain on their name which,
sho declared, "will never be wiped
away."
"Every tlmo I go out on the street,"
she said, "people will look me In the
face and say, 'Her brother Is a thief.' "
Bertha, a black haired, black eyed,
plump girl of sixteen or thereabout. In
sisted that Sam had always been "an
Ideal brother to me and an Ideal sen"
until this happened. Why the Impdlso
came to steal she could not Imagine, she
said. Ho was at home all election day,
part of the time In the house and part
of the time on the street, where the
policeman on the beat and many neigh
bors saw him. Wednesday morning he
went to the offices of Finch 4 Tarbell,
stock brokers, 120 Broadway, iby whom
ho was employed three weeks ago to
act as messenger. According to tha
police he called himself Harry Shaw
down there.
Disappeared With Bonds.
In the mornings he delivered bonds
and In the afternoons collected the
checks for thenr. Wednesday morning
he took $t00 worth of Liberty bonds
to Maybon A Co., 41 Wall street. Re
turning to his employers' place he
stopped by the cashier's window Just
as another messenger deposited (25,000
in bonds there. According to the police
he took these and unother bunch of
bonds, 110.000 worth, which were lying
near. No one saw him. do It, and he
remained at the ofTlce till sent out to
make his afternoon collections. He did
not return, and presently the Arm
learned that Maybon ft Co. had not
received the bonds Sam was sent to
take to them.
Yesterday morning In the cold and
darkness of the small hours, about 3
o'clock. Sam was found by tho detec
tives In front of 120 Broadway, with
1:3.000 worth of bonds and (2,000 In
cash In his pockets. He told them the
name of the person to whom he had
given (10.000 of the bonds, and ex
plained that he had been "living high"
on the remaining J600.
Bertha pointed out that Sam's being
iti front of his employers' office proved
that he was going to return the bonds.
WnttlnR for Office to Open.
"What else would he be there fbr?"
she asked. "I suppose he went early so
he'd be there when they opened. I told
him to take them right back. Yes, he
tpld me what he'd done. I said to him,
'Sam, you re not smart enough to bo a
thief. Take the bonds right back and
tell what you've done." The detectives
were watching him then, yes, and they
were watching me. Kvery time I went
out on the street they watched me. And
he said he'd take them back and ho did,
but now It won't do any good. All our
lives people will remember It.
"I don't know why he did It. Every
body Is tempted some tlmo in their
lives. I suppose that was Ma tempta
tion. He'd never done anything like
that before, he was always a good
brother to me and a good son."
Bertha was especially troubled lie-
cause It had been stated that her
brother paid her tuition at an art school.
"He did pay it," she said, "but the
way It was told It sounded as If he
mid it out of what he took. Why, that
Just happened Wednesday, and he's been
paying for my lessons for a year paid
it out of his wages that he earned.
What has anybody got to do with my
lessons, anyway?'
The father was a travelling salesman,
and the mother works In a department
store. There Is a sister younger than
Bertha. She, with Bertha, sat In the
little dining room last night, with the
unheeded supper, and looked down on
the street where neighbors In hushed
tones discussed 'the trouble that had
come -to the Shapiros."

Says "No Matter How Distant

tions' Task Is Vital.
Although unable because of the pres
sure of International affairs to launch
the great United War Work Campaign
with a public address President Wilson
In a letter to Dr. John It. Mott, director-general
of the drive, has placed him
.self and tlie Administration squarely
behind the nation wldo effort which
starts Monday. The opportunity and
need for the constructive work of the
seven war work organisations, the Pres
Ident's letter states, will be quite as
great during the period of demoblllza
tlon as during wartime.
"Gifts that provide the service which
this campaign makes possible," the Pres.
Ident further points out, "are not so
much gifts to organisations as gifts In
Valuable gifts to our soldiers, sailors
nnd marines and constitute nn appro,

The President's Letter.
The letter, which was given out at
national campaign headquarters by the
director-general yesterday, follows:
Tits Whits Hocss,
Washington, Nov. 8, 1918.
Mi DKAjt Da. Mott:
I am sure the people throughout the
country will understand why It Is that
I am unable to fulfil the desire of
my heart to mako a public address
at this time In the Interest of the ap
proaching campaign.
It has been with sincere gratifica
tion that I have observed the whole
hearted cooperation of the Toung
Men's Christian Association, the
Young Women's Christian Association,
tho National Catholic War Council,
tho Jewish Welfare Board, the War
Camp Community Service, the Amer
ican Library Association and the Sal
vation Army In response to my re
quest that they combine their respec
tive financial drives In one United War
Work Campaign, November U-1S. to
secure the sum of at least 1170,600,-
000 for their Invaluable work. Tho wise
economy of money and effort, the
Increased efficiency which will result
from a blending of experience, the
creation of an atmosphere of truer un
derstanding, the unmistakable evidence
of a growing unity of Bplrlt nnd the
Influence of all this In strengthening
the national solidarity Is reassuring
In the extreme.
As you now stand on the threshold
of .presenting your appeal to the en
tire American people I wish to renew
the expression of my conviction that
the service rendered by these welfare
agencies Is Indispensable and my
earnest hope for the abundant success
of the campaign.
Oversubscription Desirable.
The Inevitable growth of the Army
and Navy, and the multiplying de
mands for our help from France. Italy
and Russia, make It clear that a gen
erous oversubscription is highly de
sirable. No matter how distant the
day of peace may prove to be. It will
be followed by a long period of de
mobilisation, during which the oppor
tunity and need for the constructive
work of these organizations will be
quite as great as in war time, nnd
1 am glad to note that your plans con

I am particularly pleased to know of
the comprehensive rrogramme of ed

coming months.
Gifts that provide the service which
this campaign makes posalble are

In a statement Issued yesterday ex
President Theodore Itoosevelt called on
his fellow countrymen to rally to the
eupport of tho United War Work Cam
paign nnd to lot neither peace nor the
prospect of It In any way jeopardize
tho drive. Col. Iloosevelt, who has al
ready spoken for the Victory boys' divi
sion of the war work campaign, Is the
president of tho, drive for his county.
His appeal follows:
"The fact that peace la about to come
must ndt be allowed to permit any letup
In the efforts to back up the organiza
tions which are furnishing the comforts
and holp. recreations nnd civilizing Influ
ences absolutely Indispensable for our
men at the front. On tho contrary the
period between the close of the war
and the dsmobllzatlon of tho force may
be peculiarly a period when the men at
the front will need to havo everything
done for them by precisely such orga.nl
cations ns those for which the drive Is
undertaken.
"It would be a dreadful act of Ingrati
tude If this natlori failed In Its duty at
this time and gave our soldiers the be
lief that we forgot them ns soon as they
ceased risking their lives In the war. We
stay at homes owe everything to tho
men at the front, nnd unless we sub
scribe nnd oversubscribe the amount de
manded by the Allied War Work Coun
cil we will havo come shamefully short
In our duty."

WILL YOU GIVEIT?
Seven allied war organizations operating under Army and
Navy commissions with just one aim to serve the boys
abroad and in the camps to be with them from the time
they leave home until they gejt back to back them up and
to buck them up to do for them the very things that you
would do if you were there.
It's a big job, that. It takes all that all of us can do, work
ing together shoulder to shoulder. Will you help, by giving
just one day's pay, and will you see that the office, shop or
factory where you work is organized so that everyone in it
does his or her share?
