Gigantic Armies Fight Each
Other to Exhaustion.
REINFORCEMENTs ON WAY
Struggle In France and Belgium
Becoming An Endurance Test.

UNI has occupied Ramscappelle, two
miles east Of Newport, and our attacks
on Ypres are progressing Further
south also we have gained ground to
the east of scissors, The enemy has
been chased from several strongly for
titled positions to the north Of Vailly.
In the Argonne and to the west of Yer
dun, several French attacks were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to the eaemy
Paris special: The official reports
by the French government indicate
that in Belgium Sunday the allies sue
cessfully defended ground won Satur-
day, while steadfastly holding posi-
lions north of the Aisne and making
some progress in the center and in the
east.
1t would appear that the fighting
was less violent in Flanders and In the
north of France, probably because each
side found it necessary to sIacken g.
fort. Allies and Germans have suf
fered terribly in these hard fought,
prolonged and indecisive struggles
Each side, it is assumed. is bringing
up reinforcements to fill ranks depict
ed by exhaustion and injuries
Powerless to make progress in the
extreme north, the Germans strength
ened their attack Sunday near the
hinge of the old battle line northeast
of Scissor and along the heights of
the Aisne They were beaten back. m
the region northeast of Rheims, where
the French have developed powerfus
offensive, they continued to bend back
the German line north of Souain.
In the Argonne Forest.
AT the east of the battle line the
fighting was severe. The German army
in the Argonne forest renewed it's at
tempt to approach Verdun from the
northwest and was checked in the for
est of Grurie. simultaneously the
French made progress to the east Of
Verdun and captured the heights
around Sainte Marie.
There is unofficial news that Ger
many is determined to break the al
lied line even at the cost of her often
sive in East Prussia and Silesia, and is
sending army corps westward as rap
idly as possible. This report causes
no apprehension here because com
plete confidence is felt In the ability
of General Joffre to detect and check
every new effort against the allies.
The confidence is supported by re-
view Of operations in Belgium and
France.
For fifty days the Germans have
struggled with ever increasing energy
to put in motion a new advance and
are actually in less favorable positions
today than they were on Sept 49, The
allies have matched reinforcements
with achievements, maneuver with
maneuver, while slowly gaining
strength in numbers and in confidence
For seventeen days the Germans have
sought to profit by their occupation of
Antwerp and Ostend, but are as far, at
least, from Dunkirk and Calais as they
were the day after they reached the
Belgian coast The opinion of the
military writer's, therefore, is that the
kaiser has lost every advantage count
ed on from sudden attack and thet
every day is gain for the allies, even
though the battle issue is indecisiye

FAME OVERNIGHT.

a London audience was bored.
American theater going audiences
sometimes get restless or disgusted.
but it takes a real English audience to
get that inpenctrable bored feeling.
"Rigolctto" was being presented and
it was failing dismally. According to
the press notices, there was not even
a noted prima donna TO support the
leading role. No wonder the audience
was bored.
Gilda was bdng played and sung
by Missouri girl, an American not
yet twenty. who had never boen heard
of before. There was no thrill when
she appeared before that bored audi

scared to fabulous heights with perfect
ease and fuency. she won the hearts
OF the bored audience. Newspapers
the next day heralded the hitherto un-
known Felice Lyme as an American
successor of the famous Adelina Patti.
To the casual observer. Miss Lyme S
success came in one night. True. it
was recognition that came to her in
her first concert, but back of that there
were five long years of hard study
in Paris. Natural talent, genius,
coupled with hard work are RESPONSE
BILE for the wonderful achievement of
Miss Lyme.
Missouri may be proud TO claim TINS

greatest prima dOnnas of the world.

These are a few things that can be

Women's heads are favorites. They
can be found i'm all varieties, but ugly
ones prevail. A little search will re-
veal caricatures of some Of the pro
fessors. Sometimes little devils and
gOblins and dragons chase each other
across the desks or dance on the walls.
This DETACHMENT of property is a
popular pastime of many University
young men and a few girls. They ac-
uuired the habit along with hankerinc

were youngsters and never outgrew 1t.
When a lecture proves dull or les

ters his attention upon work OF art
constructed with his pencil, pen or
knife upon the arm of his chair or
on his desk. Or as he fingers in the
corridors waiting for some fair coed
he scribbles his autograph upon the
wall along with other weird designs.
The composite result of few years
of such decorations resembles a cross
between a crazy quilt. eubist picture
of a girl demonstrating the new dances
and a proof sheet of the telephone di-

DETACHMENT of property is a misde-

JOURNALISM WEEK.

A state university is not serving the
people of the state in the largest way
unless it is doing something more
than merely educating the youths who
are fortunate enough TO attend it. The
university that is doing real service
is going to the pnopA. or making it
possible for more people to come to it.
by its extension work. by the issuing
and distribution of bulletins, and by
short courses the University of Mis-
souri, is cndaAvoring to serve its pur-
pose. Journalism Week. which will
be held here lIay IS to -, Is one of
the means for bringing the University
to those who need if and for bringing
TO the University the practical knoWl-
edge that the -who-dOes-it-every-
day can give.

ed from trip around the world, in
which he has brushed elbows with

gone farther and discriminate in the
kinds of truth, the kinds of news they
give. This attitude is aptly expressed
in a recent article by Melville f. Stone.
general manager of the Associated
Press. He says:
We, as class, are news-mad peo-
pie. We often treat as news such
things as prize fights, executions. and
divorces. Now, as a matter of fact,
these things are episodes. 80. They
are in no sense contributions to the
real history of the world. Seeking
to secure a proper prospective of the
worlds happenings, l dismissed the
episodes of the hour in short measure
and set out to learn and present the
things which the world was doing in
the field of science, of ethics, of poll
tics, of economies. | found that a re-
sponsive chord was touched at once"
If the critic of the newspaper will
stop criticising long enough to study
several newspapers carefully for a
short time, he will have no trouble
in finding one of this high standard.
Much of the fault finding comes from
the fact that the reader never takes
the trouble to really find ont what is
in the paper.

THE NEWSPAPER OF TODAY.

The newspapers of today are bearing
the burden of the mistakes of the
newspaprrs of yesterday; they are
trying to overcome tAe impression that
newspapers consist of nothing but
untruths and humbugs.
If the readers of newspapers could
get inside an office once and help make
"A paper they would soon realize that
the one great aim was truth, accuracy.
Now this is high aim and difficult
one to attain. No newspaper claims to
be entirely free from error. but II Is
not because the truth is untried for.
On the other hand. the majority OF
newspapers are far more accurate
than the readers think. The reader
forgets that the newspaper has to rely
on many different persons for its
news. and that each of several ac-
counts of the same thing may be truth
ful. No two persons see the same
thing.
This seeking for truth is the essen
tial business of practically every
newspaper of today, but some have

Editor the MissOurian: - Among
many of those who discuss wOman'S 5
suffrage there seems to exist con
fusion in regard TO the proper use of
the terms. "suffragist' and ''suffra-

ymous. for English women, only. are
suffragettes. Rhat term is always ap-
piled to militancy.
American women are suffragists.
The American woman believes intense
ly in woman's suffrage but she has
confidence enough in her men to know
that the English methods are unnec-
