Allies North and East OF Paris Win
Successes
IGERMANs UNABLE TO ADVANCE
Russians Succeeding In Campaign
Against Austrians In Galicia
Interest Ccnters in
France

Paris, Sept. 9.-The French wal
office announces that II Is sending
reserves to Morocco, and the incor'
poration OF territorial troops now
residing there in order to release the
regular forces in Morocco for service
with the French army.
London, Sept. 9.-The British and
French forces north and east OF
Paris have had further successes
against the German invaders. ac-
,cording to the official bulletin Is
sued today, while in Galicia the Rus
slams continue with considerable sue
cess their attempt to envelope and
defeat the Austrian army Of four
hundred thousand men under Cen
.eral Auffenburg.
For the moment at least interest
centers in the campaign in France,
for 1t is felt that the battle proceed
ing there is the first real crisis OF
the war and will have a vital effect
.on the outcome.
The allies, according to bulletin
issued by the French war office,
have successfully repulsed another
attempt of the Germans to penetrate
their left center between Fuercham-
penoise and Vitry lie Francois, where
the roads and railways are more
suited to the French movements
than they have been further north.
There have been many rumors OF
achievements having been sent
this army of the allies. Some OF the
rumors are to the effect that Rus
sian troops actually have Joined 1t
and others that the Indian troops
took part in the fighting. These ru-
,mors, however, remain without con-
firmation and the more thoughtful
observers of the war consider that
the increased strength of the allies
left wing is due to the arrival OF
fresh troops from England and
France and to the fact that the ad-
vanced defensive army of Paris Is
taking part in the operations.

BACHELOR GIRL REFLECTIONS

About the hardest thing to re-
member is to remember to forget.
You know the tone Of voice a
man uses when he says, Now isn't
that lust like a woman?" but the
fact is, that is the very thing ne
likes about her.
After perusing the current maya
zines one can't help thinking that
there are now two kinds of babies
real babies and experiments.
Men are divided into two classes
those who smoke, and those who
leave the wash cloth in . ball In the
soap dish.
True love is a triple compound
composed of federation, unselfishness
and income; and to keep an harmon
ious whole, a deficiency OF one part
may be offset by an increase IN the
others.
q e e
There are three things for which
there is apparently no need-a front
door on the average farm house. the
fancy twist on hotel napkin, and
an empty seat in an automobile.
e e e
Many a man has played the sturdy
oak to the extent Of becoming q block
head, and many a girl has played
the clinging vine to the extent Of
becoming fiber door mat.

SOMETHING ABOUT A MAN
WHO'S MADE OF REAL STUFF

Fred e. Gates the new rural su-
perintendent of the state Sunday
school association is in town this
week.
He's one of the fellows that's diff
ferent.
In a little Kansas country town
the minister, after the preliminaries,
said with customary formality,
Brother Gates will now preach to
u.s.
Brother Gates will do nothing Of
the kind. You get more preaching
now than you want, at least more
than you do, and better preaching
than could give you in any case.
I'll tell you story instead"
He started in, "Once there was a
little town with three little churches,
and three little Sunday schools, and
three little parsonages, and three
preachers with three little salaries
and two pool halls"
That's Dover" blurted one old
fellow.
The secret was out. Everyone
knew the allusion. The Dover aud
fence had identified the picture of
their town.
"Well," continued Gates, that
clears the deck for action. Now for
business. don't like the arrange
ment. You need one more pool hall
-one for each church. How can you
men from the different churches
think Of playing your pool in the
same hall? How can you do that
and maintain your distinctive doc
trines'?"
Suffice II to state that by the first
Of the following January one Of the
preachers was on the mission fields
Of Africa, another was serving a re-
sponsible post on this continent, and
the third remained on the Job preach
