" While there is no OFFICIAL information
regarding the situation in Belgium, 1t
Is generally accepted that the Germans
have occupied ostend. When the last
boat left there yesterday the advance
guard Of the Uhlans was already in
sight. Communication has been inter-
rupted, which would indicate that the
Germans are in the coast city.
Meanwhile it is reported here that
heavy rain is again falling over the
entire Belgian French theatre of war.
This of itself naturally will slow up
operations Of the Allies, who avoided
the German circling movement, mas
much as the roads have become diffi-
cult for travel in their terribly torn-up
condition and the trenches filled with
water.
The Germans now are attempting
new general advance. Advices from
the front confirm the earlier reports
shat heavy reinforcements are being
sent through Aix.la- -Chapelle. 1t is
accepted here that these troops COM
prise the first line OF the new army, as
It was reported about ready to take
the field.

will be required to hold the German

Interesting Description of His New

Healdsburg is located about 66
miles from San Francisco in Sonoma
county, on the Russian river, with
four passenger trains daily each way
to and from the city. II is the CEN
ter Of very rich and productive
country, and land in the valley and
on the hillsides has become very val
liable for the raising of fruit. Prune
land is worth $1,000 per acre. French
prunes are the principal variety. They
do not pick them, but shake them
from the trees and then pick them
up and dry them. For the handling
of fruit the secret of success here is
the fact that the people are organ
lied and have the market This week
visit was made by myself TO an
eight-acre orange orchard one mile
distant from the city. 1t was beau
tiful sight to me to behold the trees
loaded with yellow fruit and pleas
ant experience to sample them. On
the same tract the owner raises figs,
olives, pears, apples, peaches, prunes,
persimmons, plums and lemons. !
have also sampled very nice English
wainuts. This gives an idea of what
can be grown here Grapes are also
raised here very extensively.
The town is making a substantial
growth The contract was let since
we came for the construction of
three story building. The lower floor
is to be used for stores, while the

is a place where old age is dominant.
The other day as | was calling in a
certain home, while conversing with
man 90 years old, they told me that
just around the corner was lady
who would be 104 years old the 10Th.
A few minutes was spent pleasantly
with her. When 100 years old, on her
birthday she rode in an automobile
from her home to the depot and back,
steering the car herself part of the
way. At 102 she was taken into the
Eastern Star as a member, making
the trip to Santa Rosa for the pur-
pose. 1t is her ambition now to take
trip in an airship before she dies.
She will keep open house on her
birthday,
An opportunity presents itself here
for aggressive work along church
lines. We passed safely through the
ordeal of the first Sabbath and en-
joyed the reception given to us, which
was attended by $50 people. The

The Boston Transcript is inclined to
question the new course idea at Ann
herst college advanced by President
Meiklejohn, who believes that it is not
enough that a student know a little OF
everything; so far as it is possible he
should be given a knowledge of the
world 90 extensive and so unified that
by means of it he may get fair un-
derstanding of human experience. 1t
is not enough that he should have
studied one subject three years; he
should go into one field and learn how
thinking is done in that field. The
PRONUNCIATION of this motion SAYS the
Transcript is likely to start an inter
esting discussion. The plan as outlined
involves the setting of arbitrary stand
ards of study, and virtually sends each
man through the same mental training.
II Amherst adopts the idea it will
surely be standing against all the ten
denotes of an era which protests against
standardized education and demands n
