follow it up and convert AL ad
vantage into decisive victory, per-
haps victory into a Sedan, is yet
to be told in events of the future.
Plainly, the allies are making a
speciality Of the blsinCs.: of
destroying the German right.
If they achieve that they will
then be in position 20 mass all their
force against the other German
armies, with the hope OF repeating
the Performance.
There are probably some very i'm
portant factors in tire situation that
the French and German war Offices
are not disclosing. The Belgians
are getting busy in the rear Of the
German right. If, rs is rot NJ all
unlikely, the Belgians have been
strongly re-enforced by new British
ievies, and perhaps also by more
Russians from the Archangel route,
then it becomes easier to understand
the precipitation of the German re-
treat. There is danger of the Ger
man right being caught between this
army in the reac and the now VIC
torious allies at the front.
In the eastern war zone, the Ger
mans are doing magnificent work TO
stem and even turn backward the
Russian tide in east Prussia; but
the Russians farther south are still
pressing their advantage over the
Austrians, which threatens to drive
austria out Of the field of a-tion.
Political conditions in Austria
Hungary are such that this seems
to be the most Immediately fruitful
policy for III, allies. Austria cannot
very long stand the strain, either in
a military or political way.
That the Russians expect the war
to continue for several months yet
is indicated strongly by the fact
that they are not pressing their cam
paign in east Prussia. An under
starding Of geographical conditions
in that region will help explain their
hesitation, and their preference for
concentrating their forces, at this
time, against Austria.
The lake and swamp region in
which the Russians received their
first severe setback in east Prussia
will be frozen solid in a few weeks.
Then the very obstacles that today
make an offensive campaign most
difficult win male the fiat country
easy to traverse. Over tie frozen
lakes, bogs, and mires, the Russians
hore to advance their lines with
vastly less difficulty to the lire of
the Oder river. Meantime their
business is to brush the 4ustrians
aside from their flank, 81 that the
big movement toward Berlic may
not be interfere.l with. This pro-
gram would contemplate nothing
less than winter campaign in Frus-
sia. That campaign would nean
that the war must last through the
cold season. Ic must be said, despite
peace talk Of the moment, that no
one Of the cor1batants save possibly
Austria has given serious sign of
entertaining any notion that the war
will close this year.

SOPHIE MCALLAN."
Pauline laughed again. 1t was Ike her
unconventional chum Sophie. to arrange her
wedding with the same startling haste that
had marked all the breathless events OF her
life. The lions she mentioned are typical
OF her original ideas. She had suddenly
announced TO her parents one day that she
was tired of domestic animals and was going
TO keep lions instead. And her amused and
amazed father had not only been forced to
yield, but to keep his eye out all over
Europe, Asia and Africa for new bargains In
wellbred lions ever since.
1t was also typical of Sophie that she had
selected from among all the dashing wooers
at her heels, Walter Trumwell, simple and
sedate, who was Mortified by her pranks and
shocked by her use OF slang. but who adored
her with the devotion OF frightened puppy.
Their engagement had been long announced.
1t was only In its htgh-handed abruptness
that the wedding was a surprise.
Pauline dropped the letter on the table
and hurried from the room TO look for Harry.
AS she passed through the hall, Raymond
Owen greeted her. She nodded brightly to
him and hurried on. Her happy excitement
drew his attention, and he followed her with
his eyes as she ran out to the veranda
Harry had heard her first call and was
coming in from the garage. He paused at
the door OF the library, where he had last
seen her, and he narrowly avoided a collision
with Owen, who was hurrying out. The look
OF covert guilt on the secretary's face
aroused his latent suspicion. But Owen,
quickly recovering himself, bowed. apologized
and passed on.
Harry stepped into the library. He saw
the open letter on the table, looked at the
snvelope and saw that he was Included In
the address. He read the letter, and the old
look of trouble came into his eyes as he
turned 10 see IL owen were watching.
AS ne stepped into the hall he saw the
Secretary leaving the house. He stood in
the doorway and watched Owen depart In

chauffeur. a sullen young fellow whom the
other employees held In aversion.
