LITTLE NEWS FROM
FRONT RECEIVED BY
GIRL LEFT BEHIND
(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, Oct. 22.-The tragedy
of war is pictured in the letter of an
unnamed first lieutenant which APP
peared in the Cologne Gazette Of re-
cent date.
1.-THE woman in whose house l am
uuartered, and whose husband is in the
field" he writes, told me in tears
this morning:
Since two months no news. We do
not know where my husband is.
"The woman and her family do moi
even know in what regiment the man
serves. That is terrible! The wo-
man wanted to know how many French
had been killed. l tried to console
her by telling her that many had been
made prisoners of war. And now she
has fastened every hope upon this.
when / hear that at home children
go to school and that everything pro.
crosses more or less in the regular
channels, am COMPEL to say a prayer
of thanks giving that our country has
been spared. You ought to see the
disorder here. The countryside is
overcrowded with troops, there is no
administration, the crops are still in
the fields, and famine threatens. The
people are irresolute and detected.
1T is now eight days since the fight
ing in the Forest of -. l thins
of the event with a shudder 1t is diff
ferent when you are fighting out in the
open, but to fight in the woods-in the
deep dark forests awful. The ex-
blossoms. of the shells reverberatad
through the forest and the heavy
bombs cut lanes through the trees.
We did not even know most of the
time where the shells came from. Il
was impossible to return the fire. In
the morning we saw the French cook
their breakfast, but we could do moth
ing because we had to conceal our
position.
There is one picture I will never
forget On September first, we shot
down a patrol of chasseurs; two men
who were in cover were taken prison
ers. When the skirmish was over, l
went with one of the chasseurs to
where the officer in charge of the pa
troll had fallen.
Il saw Immediately that the man
had died from a shot through the
heart. But the chasseur who accom-
panied me, and who evidently was
very fond of the officer, asked me,
with great concern in his voice:
"rDoes my officer liver
81 shook my head, saying:
"'No; he is dead.
And then a very touching thing oc-
CURED. The soldier fell to his knees
beside the dead officer and prayed for
a long time. A gripping picture. On
the ground, in flood of sunlight, lay
four dead horses. My men stood about
them in a ring, and in this circle rest
ed the dead officer with the private
praying at his side. We were silent
the silence of death was upon us; but
through it we heard the steps Of
Death, who may gather US tomorrow
Il, too, said prayer for the brave
enemy, the dead comrade-Lieutenan
of Reserves CASTOR Forgues, of Bor-
deaux."

ALLIES THREAT ]! ] ! TO
ENvELOP GERMANS.

Paris, Oct. 23.--The allies are roll
ing back the German lines.
They have pushed a wedge through
the invading force thirteen miles
north of Lille and for the first time
since the series of battles in the north
commenced they have pushed their
forces east of Lille.
The advantage gained is slight
two miles-but it is declared extreme
" important. The allies are now in
position to envelop the German
right flank and it is confidently ex-
pected here that they will be able to
do so within the next week or ten
days.
Officials in touch with the situa-
ton declare that the Germans have
lost the chief move in the strategicaI
battle by their failure to maintain
the perpendicular line extending from
Lille to the coast near Ostend
They declare that the center of the
German right flank has been pierced
and that it is now only question of
a short time when the German head
quarters at Lille must move east
ward or be lost.

or sauu ana compressed air shot from
a nozzle and is used for polishing or
cutting hard materials or cleaning
paint off metals, etc. 1t is also used
for etching figures on glass. Now the
question arises as to what the glass is
covered with in those parts that are
to remain free from etching.
A thin sheet of rubber is used, 1t
having been found that the sharp sand
particles will rebound from the rubber,
although cutting deeply into the glass.
AS rubber is much softer than glass it
seems more or less peculiar The ex-
planation lies in the fact that the sand
particles striking the rubber take a
longer time to stop than those striking
the glass, and 1t is a law of mechanics
that the longer 1t takes a given body
to stop the smaller the force exerted
on the object struck
This is q well known phenomenon in
other ways. A player catches a base
ball with a backward swing of his
hand instead of holding 1t rigid. The
mitt itself allows the ball some time
to stop before the stuffing is COM
pressed sufficiently to become rigid A
pair OF eyeglasses dropped on a carpet
do not break, but do dropped on ce-
ment sidewalk from the same height
They have the same amount of energy
to be destroyed by the body that stops
them, for they fall from the same
height, but the carpet took longer to
stop them than the cement
The same reasoning applies when a
man is hit on the jaw and on the f1eshy
part of the arm with the same amount
OF force in each blow. Damage is
done to the jaw but not to the arm.
Thus. If fat man be kicked, nothing
in the world is hurt but his dignity

THE "HITLESS WONDERS."
Qualities That Made the Old White
Sox Club Famous.


Sox Club Famous.
Back in 1906 the Chicago White Sox
We're known as the TIitless Wonders,
because of their ability to win games
with uniformly poor batting. and
though Frank isbell, the best club
swinger on the team finished il season
of 132 games with an average Of only
279, this club qualified for chance
to fight for worlds championship.
And what is still more TO the point.
they won the great series from Frank
Chances Cubs when that aggregation
was at its best
But there was a reason for this. and
the reason was the wonderful pitch
ing staff, which consisted of Ed
Walsh, Doc White, Nick Altrock, Roy
Patterson. Frank Owens and Frank
Smith, an aggregation OF twirling
talent seldom equaled SO clever were
the members of this snvtat th"- -
werv 'rp'v amt opposing teams 10
a minimum of runs, and 1t was only
necessary for the batters of the White
SoX to collect three or four tallies to
win most contests.
But even if the club was shy on
heavy hitters such men as Jiggs
Donohue, Lee Tannehill, George Robe.
George Davis. Billy Sullivan, Fielder
Jones, Dougherty and Hahn had plenty
of speed, knew their inside play" like
book and in most pinches could be
depended upon to come through with
enough good plays to score at the right
moments.
In every other instance where a team
has won a championship In the majors
the batters as whole have been un-
usually strong and did not have to de
pend OH the pitchers to keep them in
the running more than half of the
time. Nevertheless number of clubs
have endeayored to emulate the ex
ample of the White Sox, but they al
ways have come to grief.-Ed A. Goe-
wey in Leslies.
