Germany has used one-third of her whole army since April 1G In fighting on tho Alsne and Champagne fronts, The terrific losses Inflicted upon this great force have been such that the enemy Is now entirely without re serve resources of human material except the 1918 class of youths.

'There Is now a comparative lull on tho Alsne River front, but the big guns are rumbling Incessantly and It Is bel!eed that the cannonading is the forerunner of a greater clash to come," says George Prade, war correspondent of the Journal, In a dis patch printed today. M. Prade gives a vivid plctuio of the battle for Craonne. when tho Germans, with huge masses of picked troops, launched their grand assaults alone tho Bhell-swept ridges of the twin plateaux of Callfornlo and Case nates. "A long, gray-black tableland, dipping gently toward the east, Is the Callfornlo plateau, dropping onto the plain ton aid Chevreaux and Corbeny and then to an Interminable ridge stretching to the west by the Casemates. Vauclerc and Hurteblse pla teau, bathed In soft lights." he writes. "Up there the tempest rages uninterruptedly like an active volcano with visions of earth hurled Into space and sharp bursts of red flame In the' black of the woods. Over all hangs the smoke of battle and through the valleys rattle the reverberations of the mighty guns. "Around us men are busy observing through glasses and wearing telephone hel ments yelling out figures. Others In shel ters carpeted with maps calculate and write orders. Bells ring like In a telephone ex change. "Outside In the valley, where formerly men lived, loved and dreamed, death Is pass ing. Behind us on the slope's crest grave faced men In blue trench helmets aie stretched on the grass and gaze with a far off look at the terrifying spectacle of the ridge aflame. At any moment they may be eent Into the furnace. "Tho hell of the battle of Craonne broke on the morning of July 19 with n lolence similar to the worst days at Verdun. Two German armies under the command of Gen eral von Boehm and General on Below, tomprrstng 100,000 men, or eight divisions f Westphallan, Prussian, Bavarian and aden troops, hurled themsehes In a gen eral assault on the Alsne River from Corry to'.the Callfornie plateau. "Eight days of steady bombardment had destroyed all the defenses. The principal point of attack was In the Craonne sector. There the German commanders hurled for ward picked storming troops from tho fifth guard. "Two hundred German batteries had pre pared the way along a narrow front of about one mile and three-quarters. This was the storm center. "The pollus were encompassed by the on slaught on both wings, but the enemy car ried the eplnlere trenches on the center For the next few days positions were lost "land rewon repeatedly until the morning of July 2, when the French re-established their line and the Germans were rendered powerless to obtain any advantage. As a result of their frightful loses the celebrated Twentieth Brandenburgers have been almost completely annihilated. The enemy is now reforming his shattered Fifth Guard, which represented the flower of the German army. The French losses were comparatively light."

The higning of this bill follows closely tho np proval of the Governor of the Vara an -narcotic bill, which promises to smash Il licit drug traffic throughout the State. The passage of tho "dope" Institution bill and 1U ratification by the Cernot was hailed today -by prominent Phlladei. imtans as a becond great victory of the Uveni.no LEDaun in the Interests of public welfare. In a series of articles revealing the 'inside" of the drug tralllo in Pennsyl vania, published last summer, the Evening Uedqeb outlined the need for adequate legislation to wipe out illicit drug tralllck lng and also emphasized the Imperative need for a Statd institution for the cure of the thousands of unfortunates in the State whose lives were blasted by drugso Dr Horatio C. AVood, Jr., noted narcotic drug exptrt, and a member of the citizens committee appointed by United States At torney Francis Fisher Kane to Investigate tho drug tralllc In Philadelphia, concurred In tho opinion of the Uvenino Ledoer that legislation for tho curtailment of the drug tralllc would not be truly effective unless an Institution was provided by the State for tho treatment of drug fiends. Now both these goals for which the Kvenino LEDOEn labored tirelessly and fearlessly have been nttalnel, with tho result that Pennsylvania Is today provided with more effective weapons for the stamping ojt of the drug vll than any other State In tho Union. Such an Institution as provided for In the bill is imperatively needed at this time, be cause of the passage of the drastic Vare antl-narcotlo bill, which has been the means of curtailing the "dope" supply of thou sands of victims. These unfortunates are now suffering nil of the agonies of forcible drug withdrawal, and there are fe places where they can go and obtain rellcT. John M. W. Rheln, drug expert, and a member of tho committee appointed by United States Attorney Kane, said: "Ratification by the Governor of the In stitutional bill Is one of the best things that could have happened for the State. The Vare antl-narcotlo bill Is already In.opera tlon. shutting off the drug supplies of thou sands of dope fiends, and we must have a clearing house for those unfortunates. At present "In Philadelphia there aro only two places whero drug fiends can go for treat ment the Philadelphia Hospital and tho Polyclinic Hospital. "I have faith that dope fiends can be cured If given the right Bort' of treatment. But'lt takes from six months to a year to effect a cure. After being cured of the craving for narcotics, addicts must be given healthy outdoor work In an environment ab solutely free from temptation. Under the present system In Inadequate Institutions, dope fiends are turned loose after a few days' treatment.
