According to a dlspntch received In Paris
from llaxebrouck, the retirement Is Already

Military experts here, basing their lews
on certain engineering works reported long
under construction behind the German lines,
today suggested that tho Germans were
preparing to open the rnnnls, dikes and
rivers in all this territory, flooding It to
Impede the Ilrltlsh progress uftor tho re

Reports indicate another "strittCRic roircnt" on the purt of Iho Geimnns
in West Flanders. Preparations now under way will result in another
"HindcnburR victory" on the west front in the near future that will
net thcAlljes more than two hundred squnrc miles of Deliriun territory.
All indications point out that the Germans, holding a firm footing on
the coast, will retreat sufficiently to straighten out their line east of
Ypres, with Thourout, Roulers and Courtral as the basic points.
Although Raining a considerable amount of territory, General Ilaig will
not have accomplished his principal object to flank the German line
and the entire struggle of the last spring and summer will have to be

'In good old Blighty oh, back in
Blighty, the women are doin' our
work."
So sings Tommy in the trenches.
And Blighty is his war-coined word
for home.
Our own soldiers are now leaving
big responsibilities behind them.
And that necessitates greater activ
ity and usefulness for us all.
In the new order of things, women
are playing an increasingly vital part.
If personal efficiency is to count
with them they must have the right
equipment.
So just now it is the absolute de
pendability of the Packard always that
recommends it especially to women.
This new Packard model is a crea
tion of exceptional beauty. It has
all the comfort and elegance a motor
carriage can possess. And it gives a
surprising demonstration of gasoline
economy.
But its certainty of operation is what
tells most for it now.
If you go in a Packard you are
morally sure to get "there and back"
and that with no waste of time.
Freedom from mechanical annoy
ances women must have.
If they are to do a greater part of the
world's important work they must cm
ploy the most dependable equipment.

WASHINGTON. Sect. 5.
Mary Wlttsor, of Haverford, I'a daunt
less buffruglst, heroine of many a clash
with foes of "the causa," ns well as with
tho authorities, refused to bo nwetl Into
silence today when Judgo I'urIi sentenced
her to pay n lino of Si!5 or go to Jail for
sixty days for Whlto Hotiso picketing.
riho nnd Lucy Hrannon, of Halllniore,
were two of twelve suffragists who faced
tho Judge and nil were- treated alike, but
Miss Wlnsor and Miss lirnnnon told tho
court what they thought of Its judgment.
They said tho sentence was loo severe and
the Judge didn't say anything until they
had finished. Then ho told them suffrage
would never obtain as long ns tho women
persisted in their present policy.
Tho court said the next sentence would
bo six months, tho maximum sentence.
The thirteenth defendant, Julia A. Kmoiy,
of llalllniorc, was paroled in tho custody of
her mother, :i wealthy widow, who gave ti
bond of $100 that hor daughter would not
repeat the offense within six months.
Tho twelve declined to pay their lines nnd
will spend the next thirty days in the
vorkhouse at Occotiuan, Va.
A pathetic sceno was enacted when tho
case of Miss lhnory was called. Her
mother, In deep mourning, pleaded with her
daughter .u open court to glvo her word to
tho Judge that sho refrain from picketing.
Tho daughter insumed u defiant altitude,
which prornped Judge l'ugh to remark:
'it Is n pity you cannot be disciplined In
another way."
Miss Kmoi-.v, nftcr asserting that women
were being railroaded to Occoquan,, Anally
yielded to her mother and Judgo Cligh and
was released In tho custodj of her parent
