POWERFUL FRENCH ARMY MAY BEGIN
 GERMAN PURSUIT

London. Sept 14.-A deseatch to the Times from Paris says:
 s'The general in command in Paris has e. half million fresh troops under his control to be used presumably in pursuing the enemy.
 . News that the German forces from Pont-A-AIo11sson to Saint Die are fall ing back shows that the five German armies of Generals Won Kuck, Won Buelow, Crown Prince Frederick Will liam, the Duke of Wuerttemberg and that operating in MoseHe are in re- treat
 'aThe difficulties Of the retreating army are many and there are good chances that the allies may annihilate them before they reach the frontier. The Germans appear to be abandon ing their. natural route, the valley of the Disc, endeavoring to withdraw further eastward to the barren and diBcult country of the Champagne. where the roads are poor and pro vision scant Beyond Is the forest of Ardennes and to the east the WoOdeS and cIayed regions of the Forest of Argonne, a formidable barrier to prog ress. Beyond is the Meuse, most of the bridges of which will be de- stroyed-
 4'1fs they have actually abandoned the Disc valley, the German lines of communication are reduced to one, passing by Givet, Namur and Liege. The other, passing Mezirers. Mont medy and Trumburg, the next line to the south, is commanded by the guns at Verdon.''

 The military stores and even the stock of uniforms proved to be insuf- fcient, the correspondent says, and as a result the third levy of reservists are going to the frontier in civiIfa nattire.
 Russians to the number of 2,5O0 lfb- erated from captivity in Germany have arrived in Petrograd- by way of Fin land. It is stated that; the reason for this liberation is that the German eoz> chequer~ is somewhat depleted.

Hotels the Same tho World over.

An American hotel manager has
spent seven weeks touring the Eu.
ropean hotels-which is all that some
seekers after pleasure can accomplish
without being paid for it. Says the
hotel man:
Il made my first acquaintance with
plovers' eggs. which / was told cost
something like dollar apiece. and a
few other dishes not common to bills
Of fare over here, but in general /
found that the eating in hotels was
pretty much on the same lines as here,
and that the standard of what con.
stituted first class hotel in Europe
and in the United States was pretty
much the same"
This is one of the things that makes
conventional travel without any def,
mite object so deadly dull for intelli.
gent people. People dress very much
alike at hotels in the temperate zone,
and their conversation Is about equally
insipid, and they eat very much the
same indigestible food Usually 1t is
bad food (called by French names)
and priced rather high.-Collier's
Weekly.
