news that the sound of terrific can.
nonading has not diminished since the
battle opened. Wounded French and
German soldiers are pouring into
Paris, the article says, and German
prisoners are also arriving. England
is, organizing an auxiliary corps to
care for the wounded of the allies.
A dispatch TO the Havas News
agency says that a bloody battle is
being fought at Luttre, a small town
on the Sambre to the westward OF
Charleroi. .
The French and English had the op-
pOrtunity to hold their very strong DO
sttion at the French frontier and wait
until the Germans were forced to at
tack, but they have not done this.
Their savage attack at this time has a
two-fOld purpOse-to break the ad-
vance OF the center Of the Germans on
Dtnant. and to cut off the German
right wing which had marched through
Brussels, Client Bruges and Ostend
and now threatens to flank Lille in
France. A great victory now would
place the Germans in a critical posi-
ton.
ChaTleroi, which seems to be the
center of the French line of battle, is
the chief Of the great Belgian iron and
steel industry, and is a great railway
center, making it important strategic
ally. 1t is % miles east of Mons.
The Belgian forts with which the
country is dotted will be a great aid
to the allies, as they are a constant
menace to the Germans, and take the
attention of much of the German artil-
lery.
France and England have agreed to
share equally the burden of advancing
500, 100000 to Belgium In recognition
of her services in holding back the
Germans for three weeks. - ....,

 Times there were when she would have fled from the place in a sudden fit of hysteria induced by thinking of the urgency for the information in her possession being in Manila. Cooler thought always made her grapple with the impulse for hate and place herself in the hands of this superior power which had looked after her through such startling happenings
 If the international spy was at work and at work she knew he assuredIy was, now he had located her-why did he not strike? That was the hardest part of her stay in the y1llage-the constant strain of waiting for the fn- evitable.

BENCH WARMER HAS
 HARDEST POSITION

Brick Owens, the leading umpire fof the American association, was en- gagged in a flaming bee with some players recently, when some one asked: '.Whateis the hardest position | to play ?'
 The hardest position to play said Owens, strange to say. is thesone that lrequires the lest work. In fact. it requires no work at. all Maybe that is why it is so hard, for you know that doing nothing is sometimes a very tiresome job.
 Some think the pitcher is the hard est work man on the team: some think the catcher, and some the third Tbasenan; but it is all mistake, as we said before. The hardest worked man on any ball team is the man who warns the bench. It is the worst job in the world, and if you doubt that it is the hardest position to playy 1 why ask any player-any of them can tell you.
 "Of course, every man who makes good has to serve long apprentice | ship That is fair, as no club is go- ing to discharge a veteran immed- lately upon signing a 'busher.'
 Pretty soft,s you say. Pretty soft-just sitting there and drawing | a big salary
 l .sBut don't deceive yourself. If the l salary was twice the size, the bench warmer would earn every cent of it.
 There is not a bench-warmer today
 but would trade places with any man playing regularly on the team for one
 half the salary he is getting for sit ting still.
 l Then, when you come to think about it, the busiest place on the l field is the players bench. Here is where the manager usually is and where, he is busy. A fellow will grow old faster on the bench than out on the grass. E'he agony of sit l ting by and watching team mates throw away a game or watching. a
 rival acknowledge the plaudits of an adrniring multitude, is enough to
 bring gray hairs to the head.
 Then, worst Of all, the bench
 warmer never lived that did not think
 he could play better ball than the
 fellows that were doing it. It is
