By W. T. MASON. (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK, Feb.

Tho occasional French reconnol tering raids along the St. Mihlel front euggeet enemy movements are sus pected to be in course of preparation at that part of the line. If a German fcttack were to be delivered from St. Mihlel, its purpose could only be to threaten the American troops in training some distance further south. St. Mihlel la «α secondary Verdun, About twenty miles south of the great Meuse fortress. It Is the most im portant supply base held by tho Ger mans on French soil near the Ameri can encampment. St. Mihlel would form α strong centre for offensive operations by the Qermans if they could spare tho .men and munitions for operations on a major scale.

CONCANNON Sll there might be reason for some un easiness concerning the inviolability of the American training ground. But, it is scarcely likely that any effort the Germans are now able to make would be sufficiently powerful to reach the American-practice trenches. I Operations against General Persh I log's rookies undoubtedly hold out a strong temptation to von Hindenburg, I who is notoriously favorable to the I strategy of striking the enemv first. I But, if the Germans fall a victim to this temptation in the present in stance, they will bo playing into the hands of the French and the Ameri cans. The district from St. Mililel to the region of the supposed American i encampment is honvily protected by an intricate series of defenses. Behind these positions the Americans would be admirably placed to protect them selves even without French assistance With French help In reserve, the chances would all favor the Kaiser meeting a defeat second only to dun if he were to attempt to swing his line southward from St. Mlhiiii. The Kaiser's sole chance of a sertoua success Is that he might develop a surprise major attack If the French were not alert. But, the constant patrol, raiding and reconnaissance attacks In which the French are en gaging near the American training centre Indicate that a surprise blow is out of the question. KEYPORT Mrs. P.

I guess I am leaving youth behind, j little book,'for I began to be afraid of observing emotions. I have lived very fully In these years of toy married life Someone, I remember, has written very poetically that we must not count our lives by the calendar of years, but by the events that »ear themselves Into our souls tn a way that we shall hold them there, "till memory fails. " If I count my life by these sign- ' posts, I think I must have lived a thousand years, for much as I wish to forget I cannot help tout remember. It seems to me now that I have never teen young, never been irresponsible, and yet when I look In the glass I do not see a tell-tale wrinkle or a single sign that my girlhood has passed. ι While my life has been crowded with great Joys and great sorrows, little book, yet apparently X have not lived In a way that has lined my face or hardened it. Thank God, little book. I yet have a few illusions left. I am like a friend of mine who once said to me when I asked her how she contrived to keep «uch a young lookout on life," keep your illusions." "You surely have lost some of your Illusions," I eaid. "Yes," she answered. "I have seen many of what I might say were my dearest illusions float out on the at mosphere and disappear, but do you know, I Immediately set to myself the task of putting other illusions in their places?" This woman, who was a friend of Sarah Bernhardt"», told me that two great women had been her greatest Inspiration, one of them the foremost of all French actresses.

"Always since then, Margie," said my friend, "I have tried to look upon life from this viewpoint. I don't al ways manage to succeed In this detenu, ination but this Idea has been a great help to me." One of Donna's friends, little book, remarked upon my youthful appear ance while I was \kriting lier and when I quietly told my age. lie said I was not like most women.

I Word From Local Soldiers & Sailors Corporal Jacob M. Klein, who gave up hi» law practice here some time ago and enlisted in the quartermas ter's -department, being sent to Fort Thomas, Ky., has written to W. H. Warr, general secretary of the Y. M. C. Α., a letter in which ho tells of j the work and activities of the asso ciation at that post. Before leaving for Camp Dix for hla three months of duty there, Mr. Warr left the let ter with the EVENING NEWS for publication. It follows: Fort Thomas, Ky., ■ January 24. 1918. Dear Mr. Warr-.—This is to thank you for your fine letter and to tell you at the same time of the splendid work which the Y. M. C. A. "hut" is doing here. I know you are interested in such work and I'll briefly narrate a few details of the local institution: I have always appreciated the ben efits of Y. M. C. A. activity In busy communities especially during times of peace, and I have read from time ~to time of the excellent service they offer on the war zones and at can tonments, but one cannot fully appre ciate the "unlimited possibilities they materialize until a close-up Intimacy is experienced. The "hut" at this place Is unusually attractive, the exterior as well as the Interior and at a first glancc one nBgJrt mistake it for a very large Cals. Kornia bungalow. The place U al ways well heated and cleaned and it reminds one of a big meeting room when men congregate during leisure hours to pass the time away. There are many large comfortable loathe» chairs and rockers and dozens of long benches, with a shelf like ar rangement on which the men write their letter*^,. A corps of workers is always at ones service and from tho questions which are asked by the hun dreds of soldiers who visit the Y. M. C. A· eveçy day, each attendant in back of the sects countr has to be a high grade almanac to come through Wrapping paper, heavy cord, address , tags are provided without charge. A large supply of stamps and postals are always on hand. Writing paper and envelopes, such as I am here with using, are constantly piled high on the counter and one may take whatever quantity he desires. The supply seems to be inexhaustible be-1 cause when one pile of paper disap-' pears there is another to take its place. Each writing shelf is equip ped with pens and Ink and any hour of the day at least fifty men can be seen busily writing letters. Inspired perhaps by the large signs which hang on the walls and read, "Have you written home today?" The only avail able telephones on the poet for public use are located at the "Y" and a line of the soldier boys making "dates" outside of the fort can usually be found in front of the booths. Two pianos, old, but still tuneful are at your service. As soon as some mu sical soldier sita down to play, a group collects around him and after the first few chords are struck a cho rus of willing voices soon fills tho "Y" from corner to corner. The at mosphere Is one of cheer and har mony, and it is a pleasure to sit down occasionally and study the faces ι which pass the counter. On account of an epidemic of measles, the nichtiv entertainments have been or dered discontinued by the commander and the boys cannot wait until the ban is lifted. Lectures by college pro fessors, concerts by the post band, and first class movies were the im portant features of each evening's program, and other musical numbers1 by Cincinnati people had a welcome place on the bulletin board. Sundays are given up to religious work and from the Roman Catholic mass at eight o'clock a. m. until the last reli gious service at 7 o'clock p. m., with Parson Green in charge, a different atmosphere pervades the "Y." The Cincinnati Library has Installed a branch at the "Y" and in addition to the 1,500 volumes on hand the sold iers may have any special book they wish brought down from the Cincin nati Library twice a week. Newspap ers and magazines published in all parts of the country are available. Game rooms for checkers and chess are provided. A committee or ladies comes frequently to do the necessary mending and patching for the bovs The hosnltal committee brings cheer to the sick soldiers three times each week and provides recreational fea tures for the convalescents. Arrange ments are made whereSjy the soldiers may be entertained In homes opened to t'»em hv hospitable citizens who live in this vicinity. A "Y" assistant goes I , _L to the cantonment building under quarantine, with writing material and magazines for the men who are not permitted to go out. General Secretary Wuntlcr exert· every effort to diverse new comfort* for the boys and to provide the bent talent for their entertainment. Hi» staff Is composed of efficient men whose constant aim Is to pleas*. And so I could continue to enumer ate the functions of the local branch, which is only one example of the work your Institution is doing the werUl over. Such environment, such spirit, such manifestation of unselfish interest is going to do much toward creating a \ real brotherhood of man when men v of all races, creeds and color mingle in a broadening manner before going into this war for democracy; when they will, shoulder to shoulder, bear the responsibility which they have as- ^ eumed for their country, they will,^fl when they are once again In civilfcirt^^ life, have a better understanding of the Big Thing3 in life and forget the sorrow prejudices, the petty differen ces, the unimportant heritages v.-ii irh have come down to us through the ages. I hope you and the rest of the Ferth Amboy T. M. C. A staff are w«*i and ' happy. I received a postal from tbe volley ball class of «which it is my desire to be a member. It was xigned by everyone of the men and I autels was pleased by their thoughtfâlneea. With best wishes to you all, I am Very cordially. 6ets Package of SimIk Two more American boys Ln France who have received packages of tobac co through the "Our Boys in Κ ranee Fund" have been heard from.
