II is never worth while to grleve

cause you have found her out, BE-
THANKFUL that you have not wasted
your confidence on her any longer.

all is still. Every minute or two comes
the sound of a great shell whizzing
through the air, and this is followed
by a loud report. No smoke can be
seen, and 1t is impossible to locate the
position of a battery, which in most
cases is hidden by branches of trees.
Spy Aids Discovery.
On the central part of the battle line.
not far from Rheims, French battery
was well hidden. and despite close
search of the German aeroplanes its
position remained undiscovered for
several days. Then German shells be-
gan to drop around it and shortly aft
erward the major in command FOUND
that a white line had been hung out
right behind his position, ostensibly to
dry, but in reality it was placed there
by a German spy to indicate to Ger
man airmen the exact emplacement OF
the French guns. A supposedly un-
concerned washwoman was caught and
was found to be a German off1cer. he
suffered the usual fate of spies.
The city of Rheims itself still SUI

buildings around the edif1ce have suf-
fered terribly, while the cathedral It's
self presents a shocking spectacle.
Movement of Germans.
The direction in which German rein
forcements are being moved whether te
the east or the west continues to be a
prolific source Of discussion which Is
not likely to be settled until the full
extent Of the Russian operations along
the German border is known.
Despite the reverses which the Aus.
tro-German armies have suffered In the
east, where the Russians have now set
their feet in German territory. both In
East Prussia and Posen, the Germans
are said to be still sending reinforce
ments to the west in an endeavor to
break down the resistance Of the
French. British and Belgians.
Notwithstanding claims that more
German troops are being transported
to the west the correspondent of the
Tijd at Antwerp says:
'The movement Of German troops
from the western theater of war on a
big scale is now progressing. A large
number appear to have withdrawn from
the User.
Long military trains filled with men
and munitions are moving into Ger
many by way of Brussels and Lou
