In cementing America's association
with the nations now its allies, numer
ous exchanges of missions' were ar
ranged. France, Great Britain, Italy,
Belgium, Russia and other entente
belligerents sent delegations to the
United States as a .step toward unifi

wise. The United States, sent mis
sions to Russia and other countries.
Six Phase of War. v
Fighting on the western front dur
ing the third year of the war may
roughly be divided into six phases
two in the latter part of 1916 before
winter called a halt, and four after the
entente offensive was resumed in the
early spring. "' ' ' " " , ,
At the close of the second year the
Germans were still unwilling to con
cede failure in the operations center
ing on Verdun. After August 3, 1916,
the French gained the ascendancy,
culminating in the retaking of Douau.
'ihiaumont and Fort Vaux, with thou
sands of prisoners and many guns.
By November the French had once
complete circle of Mhe: Verdun . de
fenses. !.
The second phase dates back to the
commencement of the Franco-British
offensive the first battle of the
Sommein July of 1916. By mid
Septtmber this had reached such pro-,
portions that the Germans were cred
ited with bringing up seven new di
visions against the British and five
against the French It was estimated
that thirty-eight German divisions, or,
basecj on the strength of those German
units at that period, about 760.000 men
opposed the British and French on this
twenty-mile front. In this battle the
British air supremacy became domi
nant By November the British and
French had taken St. Pierre-Divion.
Beautnont-Hatnel and Beaucpurt and
had penetrated German positions for
a depth of six miles.
J Germans in Retreat
In'the sprwg the Germans, antici
pating resumption of the Somme
operations, began what lias become
known as the "Hinderburg victorious
rCircav VJ ncwijr hcuiisi vvi
lines. In this second battle of the
Somme, Bipaume. Irles, Peronne,
Nesle, Fayette. Gricourt. Vaux, Roye,
Tergnier, Ham and hundreds of other
positions were lost to the Germans.
In an evacuation which French critics
regard as memorable, the Germans
left track of widespread devastation
which aroused world-wide indigna
tion. The British claimed 'capture of
"nearly 5,000. prisoner! in .'the ? three
months of this German retirement for
a depth of from -five to fifteen miles
along a front., pf about forty-six
miles. ' . .
Offensive Transferred.
Tn'Anril the British transferred
their offensive northeast of Arras,
forcing Von Hindenburg to' redis-
tribute his forces along fifteen-mile
front Canadians played historic part
in this fighting. Monchy-le-Preux
was taken, and Vtmy Ridge wis cap
tured after one of the world s blood
iest -battles. Canadians neia me
ridge against desperate counter at
tacks. This success east of Arras
turned Hindenburg'a northern, pivot
and British critics regarded it as the
greatest in the history of British arms
in the. present war. This offensive
continued, placed the British astride
the Hindenburg line, and the Germans
retired to positions ft mile or two
westi of the Drocourt-Queant line.
These they held aa the third year
closed. . ' -
. Meanwhile the battle of Cham
paign and the Aisne had been earned
on by the French, Who in April cap
tured Auberive. In the first dayi of
Champaign offensive, one of the great
est struggles of the war, the Germans
sustained an estimated loss of 100,000
killed, wounded and taken' prisoners
through their desperate defensive operations-'
Fighting in these regions
continues after three months, during
which the French have advanced from
one to five miles along S fifty-mile
front. The present French line runs
from northwest of Soissoni through
Rheims to Auberive. .

themselves astride the Ypres-Com-ines
; canal, having advancedthree
miles on an eight-mile front Portu
gese and Belgian troops aided in this
offensive. In recent days the fight
ing there had been confined to raid
ing operations.
It is estimated that during April,
Mav and June the Germans suffered
350,000 casualties on the western
front.
j Russ Advance Begins.
The Russians having in June of
1916 becun an offensive from' the
Prinet marshes to the Rumanian fron
tier, speedily captured Ciernowitt and
the rest of Bukowina." together with
Brody, in Galicia and in August they
entered Stanislau tor the tnira time

Closed are the barber shops today,

would have said, placing the verb be

Closed, because, like the coming of
Mary's little lamb to school, it is
"against the rule."
The wise and neveMo-be-suffi-ciently-honored
legislators in conven
tion assembled at Lin-oln last winter
passed a law that the barbers should
have one day of rest in seven in order
that they may not be deprived of the
privilege of attending divine .services
liketotner people.
And so the man who reelined erst
while in the tonsorial chair of a Sun
day morning and permitted himself to
be denuded of his whiskers will now
have to endure the whiskers until
Monday or remove them himself. For
the barber is having his day of rest
and occupying his pew with his family
at church perhaps.
The legislators have defined bar

BRITISH VIEW OF
THIRD YEAR OF WAR
General Maurice Says Entrance
of United States Makes
Victory for Entente Al
lies Certain.
London, July 28. America's en
trance into the war is" the most im
portant development of the third year
of the great conflict in the opinion of
Major General Frederick B. Maurice,
cfcief director of military operations
at the British war office, as expressed
in an interview in which he reviewed
the main events of the third year and
summed up the present situation.
"Today, Major General Maurice
said, Germany, whose whole military
gospel was to prosecute a vigorous
offensive, is reduced to "a pitiful state
of military helplessness in which it
is barely able to hang on" in the hope
that its submarines will force the
people of the entente powers to de
mand peace at a time when Germany
has "he "big pawns" with which to
make a bargain.
"Speaking from the military point
of view," said Major General Maurice,
"the greatest event of the third year
of the war is the fact that the Ameri
can people joined us. Up to the pres
ent, France and Russia always have
been able to sax 'to their people that
the English power had not yet been
developed to the fullest extent and
that, when England's full weight was
in the field, the pressure on the
French and Russians would be some
what lessened. That still is true, but
only to a limited extent. Even Eng
land is getting near the point where
it must say that it cannot extend its
work much further in France. Mean
while, the strain in the continental
countries is becoming greater and
the French are in real need of more
and more support.
. "Of course, the same is true and
probably in far greater measure in
enemy quarters.
Last Reserves Will Win. '
"But the whole lesson of the three
years of warfare is to emphasize -the
military maxim that the man with the
last reserves is going to win, ind we
still have got the whole power of the
United States-to draw upon. The
United States is today the general re
serve of the entente. With that re
serve intact,, we may look the fourth
year in the- face with entire confi
dence, v " ' ' ' .
"Germany has made the same mis-takc-with
regard to the United States,
as three years ago it made with re
gard to England. It argued, "we do
not believe England will come in but,
it does come in.'it is not a military
nation and cannot'become a military
power, soon enough to play part in
this war," We ' proved that theory
wrong as you will prove its theories
regarding the United States wrong.
"What was it that led Germany
into war with the United States? It
found it Could not win on land. It
was necessary to try U-boat warfare,
'will defeat England and bring the
reign of the entente to an end. We do
not believe the United States will
come in but, if it does, it is an un
militafy nation, has no. army, cannot
create one for many months, perhaps
years, certainly cannot become a mil
itary factor soon enough to play any
part in this war.'j- ' '
"That reasoning sounds unbeliev
able to us, but a drowning man
clutches at. a straw. We, believe the
German theorists will be proved ,as
wrong in their estimates of the United
States as they were in their estimates
of England,
Three Years of Fighting.
"You asked me what is the out
look at the opening . of the fourth
year of the war. First, let me give
you in epitome the history of the
first three years as I understand it
The first year, broadly, speaking,
was an attempt by Germany to put
into effect elaborate plans which jits
military strategists had been prepar
ing over the space of many long
years. The first phase -was a concen
trated attack on France and Belgium
during a certain allotted period of
time, in which the Germans estimated
it would be impossible for Russia to
disturb them in the east. .
"The attack on France was check
ed, first on the Marne, later on the
Yser and at Ypres, although France
and Belgium suffered severely in the
process.
"Germany then, according to its
plan, took the defensive on the west
ern front and turned its offensive
effort eastward in an effort to knock
out Russia. Here again it failed, al
though it attack enormously weak
ened Russia's offensive power.
"Mitel-Europa" Scheme.
"In the autumn of 1915 Germany
definitely abandoned its old pre-war
strategic scheme and started in on a
new plan developed since the war
began; namely, an effort to upbuild
'Mitel-Europa' as a great block com
posed of four so-called central pow-

crs which would command the road
to the east. The autumn campaign
of 1915 consisted, in essence, of the
furtherance of this scheme by con
quering Serbia, bring in Bulgaria and
halting our Dardanelles effort by
rushing munitigns. supplies and sol
diers to the assistance of the Turks.
"By the winter of 1915 Germany
had gone a long way toward realiza
tion of its ambition and this point
represents to my mind the grand cli
macteric of Germany's offensive
power. All this time Great Britain
had been building up armies and with
the beginning of 1915 we for the first
time had a real army in the field.
"With the spring of 1916 Germany
had come to realize that the conquest
of Russia was impossible; Russia was
too massive to kill or crush. So the
German staff again turned on France
and the Verdun attack was the re
sult. Germans Lose at Verdun.
"With the defeat of Germany at
Verdun came a turning of the tide of
which further manifestation was seen
iii a successful British offensive. Pre
vious British military efforts had
been, comparatively speaking, minor
operations or operations undertaken
in support of the French. At the
Somme we started our new work and
really great, important work it was,
although a great deal of the contem
porary effect of the Verdun defeat and
of the Somme victory was neutralized
by Germany's push into Rumania.
The Rumanian push, however, viewed
in true historical perspective, was
merely a flash in the pan. The Ger
man military power already was on
the decline and its offensive strength
was nothing like what it had been
the vear before.
"The end of 1916 found the situation
between the two great groups of con
testants about equally balanced, but
with the scales leaning slightly in
favor of the entente.
Third Year Situation.
"The year 1916 has presented a
still rosier picture. During the whole
third year of the war Germany and
its allies have attempted nothing on
land. They everywhere have been
on the defensive. The Turks lost
Bagdad and the Sinai peninsula. On
Germany's eastern frontier, although
the Russian revolution enormously
weakened Russia's military power,
Germany was incapable of taking ad
vantage of the situation. On the
Austrian front the Italians got in
powerful blows. In the west the
British and French struck repeatedly
and the Germans have been powerless
to answer back.
"This is the pitiful state to which
we have reduced the great power,
whose whole military gospel was
summed up in the phrase 'vigorous
offensive.' Germany's military help
lessness, owing to the long strain
on its man-power, material and' re
sources, is such that today it barely
is able to hang on and its only hope
is that it may find some way of similarly-
wearing us down and forcing us
out of the war before we get up mo
mentum to drive it back.
"At present Germany is . banking
on the U-boat. It hopes against hope
that the U-boat, will reduce the peo
ple of the entente powers to the same
state of want, privation and suffering
which it has been enduring for months
and years past. It hopes to make
the entente peoples cry enough and
start peace parleys while it still has
got the big pawns with which to
bargain at a peace conference."
