Tor her purpose. For example, this
method Of holding business confer
ences on secret affairs-for she al
ways set her appointments in some
lut2f-the-way open space. 1t was
a highly original, highly effective
plan. One could enter without at.

eyes were laughing!
"IIow do you do?" he repeated after
her. And then, az though he must be

The first official communication
from Bordeaux, the new seRt Of the
French government. speaks CT the
German movement on Parts as having
been diverted to the eastward in which
direction the invaders have reached
La Forte Sous JouarTe, some thirty
miles cast of Paris. This would seem
to confirm the German announcement
that the allied forces have been driven
back 10, and IN some cases across the
river Marine.
According to other sources of infor-
nation, the German troops are much
nearer Paris than he's been indicated
officially; they are said to be within
a few miles OF ChanIlly, 90 miles north
of the capital.
The German general staff has moved
from Brussels to Mons. Belgium, near
