of their mass formation in battle. and
the losses to the allies from armored

of life in proportion to the men en-

1 know q woman who hates to go to
bed early. She will frequently sit up un-
til one or two O'Clock over an allurin2
book or . piece OF embroidery; she seldom
goes to bed before midnight and is un-
questionably inturing her health by the
short rations OF sleep she allows herself.
and yet when, Tor some reasons, any
member OF her family depends upon her
sitting up on some special evening and
tells her 30. she is very much aggrieved.
Il was planning to go to bed early to-
night" she invariably says.
On one such occasion she was particu-
larry disturbed. Il ar unusually tired and
meant to go to bed very early she said.
Thinking it would be shame to miss
such a mood: her family managed to ar

Germany has been insistent that all
the war news from Paris. London and
Petrograd 10 greatly exaggerated. And
the same would seem to apply. to at
least some OF the news that has come
from Berlin. In making up official
lists of their prisoners, the Germans
havc been able to find only $4,000. of
whom $4,000 are Russians. Previous
dispatches from Berlin stated that the
number of prisoners taken by the Ger
man forces amounted to NO less than
$4,000.
