IMPENDING GERMAN RETREAT.
Correspondent Believes Army Will
Soon Leave Flanders.

Soon Leave Flanders.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-(4 a. m.)-The
correspondent of the Times in West
Flanders relates further indications of
an impending German retreat from the
line they are now holding. Their
transport, he says, has been moved
back several miles at different points
and the mining of roads has been car
ried out extensively in the past few
days. According to the correspondent,
the arrival of heavy British guns of
late has done much toward demoraliz-
ing the Germans, whose guns are be-
coming much the worse for heavy wear
from reckless use.

WHAT KIND ARE YOU?

Some fellow wrote a poem recently.
1t is about certain type Of good road
boosters. The idea, boiled down into
prose, is this:
Zone good husky with a mule team
can build more roads than twenty fat
men at a,tanQuet can"
This is the time of year for the An
nqal Banquet of the Feeding Boosters;
the fellows who boom their town by
eating a big meal late at night at the
hotel, and then feel proud, while they
pick their teeth and smoke, of 'iwhat
we have DONE"
A booster is a good thing--an excel
lent thing and everybody ought TO be
willing for him to feed al any time day
or night that his doctor will let him.
That is, real booster is good thing,
a man who has more brains than brag,
and more elbow grease than gas, a fell
low who really does things and gets
things done that are worth doing,
But every town has some profession
al boosters; hustlers who never let
grass grow under their feet nor ideas
in their head, These fellows are al
ways wanting the citizens who pay
their bills and saw wood to put up S74,
coo to hire a pickle factory to come to a
sweet potato, establish sugar mill on
a millet or locate an ak handle factory
in the middle of the prairie. They
could dig canal from New York TO
San FRANCISCO by CAB, or turn the
North Pole into an orange tree by pre-
dictions. They are always yamming
along some impossible project by
main strength of their jaws; and their
one big service to the town is that their
annual feed creates Temporary market
for fry chickens and ten-cent cigarss.

OF all the artists who have ever ap-
peared on the stage, there is scarcely
one so we'll known as Annette Keller
mann, the most wonderful swimmer
and graceful diver in the world. Miss
Kellermann has been called "The Div
ing Venus" and "The Perfect Woman"
but not until she produced that wonder
full pictorial production, ''Neptune's
Daughter, did her admirers realize
that she could do other things as well
as her aquatic feats. "Neptune's S
Daughter" was produced last spring,
and has since been the talk OF the
country. II has recently finished
an engagement of IA weeks at the
Detroit Opera House, breaking all
records for Michigan. and The praise It
received al the hands of the Detroit
newspapers, to say nothing of the l60,-
900 people who saw the performance,
has never been equalled 'Neptune's
Daughter" has been secured for early
appearance at the Temple Theatre,
for two nights only, Nov. IL and II.

they are unknown and some because
they are to well known.

NOVEMBER

Perhaps the greatest crime for which
November ever has been responsible
was the patenting of the gramaphone?
But of course you do. Ii used to be
the whole show at every picnic, and we
gladly paid dime to poke its rubber
tubes into ouears to hear a scraping
noise that sounded something like a
human voice. But, weak as its vocal
chords were, the old gramaphone has
sired some wonderful progenies. The
modern machines can talk as plainly,
as long, and almost as fast as any wo-
man.
November is responsible for Italian
Grand Opera, it having been born in
New York during this month of 1924.
We cannot say, however, that grand
opera has kept pace with the grama-
phone in improving itself. And still
another false alarm in November was
the dissolving of the oil trust in 1919
We expected much of that dissolve
and have gone right along expecting
every since.
Hannibal the Great was born in Nov
ember-247 b. c.. We were very
young at that time, and living some
distance from the Hannibal home,
never learned much about him. An
drew Carnegie, TOO, came into this
world in November-lS3z. During his
seventy-seven years among us Mr.
Carnegie has made great many friend
most of whom wish they were a rela-
tive. We do not know just what Mr.,
Carnegle's income is, but unless he
sometimes overdraws his bank account
considerably, it is greater than ours.
November, so the poets say, is cheer:
less, sober, gray, and seer but | have
always figured it the greatest month
of all the year. No melancholy tho

BRYAN TO SPEAK
70 MEETING Of
Y. M. c. A. BOYS

Since shortly after the Saginaw meet
ing OF the state Boys Conference the
older boys of the state have been bring
ing pressure to bear upon the United
States Secretary Of State trusting that
it would be possible for them to have
the privilege Of listening to some Of
Bryan's inspirational messages. On
last Friday J" A. VanDis, state boys
work secretary, was in conference
with Mr.. Bryan at Chicago and finally
made definite arrangement for him to
attend the 1914 conference which vii
be held in Ann Arbor on the Friday,
Saturday and Sunday following Thanks-
giving. The consent OF Mr.. Bryan to
come was based largely upon the ap-
peal of Minhigan's older boys four
thousand of whom signed a monster
petition that was sent TO him about a
month ago.
Mr. VanDis believes that at least 2OOO
of Michigan's older boys will be at the
conference and the local committee at
Ann Arbor is making every prspara.
ton for that number which will be a
record breaker for the United States.
The purpose of the conference is to
bring together representative older
boys to discuss their own moral
problems and to inspire them to go
back to their respective fields and or
CARNATIONS to do a larger Christian
service.
Thus far fifteen of the older boys of
the county have made arrangements to
ate I'd the conference but the Iupber
privileged to attend from this county is
unlimited and it is hoped that more
parents will see to il that their sons
have the Opportunity OF attending this
wonderfully inspiring conference. 1t
is planned to take the Charleyo,x x
county boys by way of Cadillac and
over the Ann Arbor' r. R. leaving Fri
day morbing and arriving in Ann Arbor
early in the evening. The delegation
will return on Monday afternoon. The
entire expense should not EXCEED sl5.-
90 for each delegate and that amount
can be slightly reduced.
= II you are interested y2u can SECURE
further information from the county
secretary, from any Sup't of schools or
from any of the pastors of the county
Monday of this week the county
secretary received letter from an old
er boy who left the county for an insti-
tuition of higher learning. A portion of
the letter is here quoted: "The morn
ing exercises certainly cheer fellow
up a great deal. When the whole
school gets together it seems nearly as
large as that good Y. M. c. A. Conven-
tion attended at Saginaw last fall.
Would be very glad to attend this fall
for know it is certainly fine" A high
school instructor said, 81 attended
three of the conferences while in high
school and the inspiration will never
leave me"
