then went back for the cigar he had

wept over the wickedness OF the

No doubt there were many good
men and true that voted In ''the
Foist of the Foist," but there was a
woeful lack OF soap. A virtue there
was. however; the men knew what
they wanted to do, and they did II.
You see, last winter when the air
was snow-laden and the streets were
OF ice and jobs were few, the men
OF the "Foist of the Foist" gathered
I'm long lines and ate hot soup and
meat and warmed shivering bodies
and one man was behind this gift.

long, especially with another winter

OF the booth was a policeman and
several individuals who were long on
Jaws but short on foreheads. They
didn't seem to have much business
and their most violent exercise was

pockets.
At 8 o'clock, a little, plump man
with smoothly-shaven face and a
smile walked briskly up from the al
rection OF the docks He nodded TO

PARIS, Nov. 8.-The Germans are
being hard pressed at score OF
boints In the long battle line. and the
military experts at headquarters here
Ileclare that their offensive has mate
rally lost force At every point the
ailies are pushing their advance.
|Blow progress is being made because
|Ibf the determined resistance Of the
enemy, now made UP more than half
bf second-line troops, but II Ii Insist
ed that there Is no longer any doubt
pf the final result.
The German attempt to advance to
the sea II characterized as the most
Dostly defeat OF the war. The Ger:
man losses have been enormous. and
today's ofiicial report emphasizes that
the flooding OF the territory contigu-
pus to the User was the last straw.
THE Germans had crossed the river
and moved three miles beyond before
the Belgians. who are experts at this
sort Of work, cut the dykes. Many
Germafs actually were drowned;
their artillery was demolished, and
their ammunition put out Of business.
and then the combined British and
French artillery cut loose on the
trapped columns.
The number slaughtered will never
be known. II Is estimated that II was
very large, enormous. some OF the re-
ports say. and the slaughter utterly
wrecked the morale of the army.
which up to that time had seemed to
he winning through In its dash
against the coast cities. Immediate
ly following the allies instituted 0
general offensive and they have now
|driven the enemy back at some
points, notably near Gheiuvelt. more
