pictures to suit the occasion.
Perhaps you will begin In this way:
Once upon time there was little
girl called Susie. She was seven years
old and she had long, curly hair. Now,
look through your books and find a
picture of Susie"
Then the children will spend five
happy minutes in finding Susie. cut
ting her out, and fastening her at the
top OF the blank sheet. As the tale
continues the sheet will become full
of portraits of the different people
whom Susie met, the pet animals she
had, and SO on.
1t will take an hour or more to fill
a sheet, and the children will be qui-
city and happily occupied all thu time.

disappointment over the German ad-

Paris. Aug. 24.-The enormous in

against the French frontier.
The war office admits that The al

of the German strength. as its out
posts have been forced back by sheer
weight of numbers.
All information regarding where the
fighting now is in progress is with
held, but there is no mistaking the
seriousness of the war officials, who
are in constant touch with the front.
The war office, In discussing the sit.
uation in Belgium, said 1t believed
no attempt would be made to storm
the Namur fortresses. They are al
ready under very heavy fire from
the German heavy guns. The Off cial
communication says:
Heavy artillery is pouring a con,
stant fire on the Namur forts, but the
Belgian artillery is replying with good
effect There is no danger of the cap
ture of Namur Everything is going
on well on the Belgian front.
THE Germans continue to press
forward over the Meuse and have
constructed scores of bridges over the
river.
THE Belgian defense was a vast
help to the French armies, which are
now awaiting the German advance, al
ready in progress.
'The forts at Namur are far strong
er than were those at Liege, and the
Belgian garrison is well supplied with
ammunition and food"
The fighting in Lorraine also shows
the great strength of the advancing
German armies.
The German advance is now In such
great force that it has been necessa-
ry for the French to retire from Lor-
raine and hope of fianking the Ger.
