That night she faced the problem
with her own frankness. If she could

And, once the decision was made,
it was astonishing how quickly she
forgot all about her novel -
She had signed it with pen name
She had given no address. To her it
seemed terrible undertaking, some
thing that was liable to call down on
her the scathing ridicule of the pub
fishers, if they knew who she was.
No doubt, she thought, the novel
would find its way quietly into the
waste basket, and that would be the
end of it. il

Clarice devoured the long article

FRENCH BEGIN MIGHTY
RUSH UPON GERMAN Line
Berlin Officially Admits Enemy
Has Penetrated Line
Near Arras

Paris, June lS.-Furious fighting on
an eight-mile front north of Arras.
over shell-wrecked trenches and bilI.
sides strewn with dead and dying
marked the centenary of the battle of
Waterloo.
One hundred years after the groot
army or Napoleon was crushed found
French soldiers today making desperate
efforts to gain advantages of few
yards of the Germans so securely dup
IN upon French soil. Determined ef,
iortS are being made to- surround n Ger.
man force in a ravine east of the Lo.
IGtte hills. From Souchez French mr..
CI!Ieiry IS sweeping the Notifications
OF the enemy, while the infantry forces
are hurting themselves against 100000
Germans before Lens.
The greatest Importance is attached
to the fighting now in progress in this
region.
Declaration Of the official statement
today that no reports of progress
might be expected for at least IL hours
increased the tension in Paris. For
weeks 1T has been ninted that mighty
smash against the German line might
be expected upon the anniversary of
Waterloo.
Furious counter attacks are being dc.
hyered by the Germans, all reports
from the front announce. Rushing for.
ward with the bayonet, hurting bombs
ana hand grenodes against the French
lines, the most desperate efforts are
being made by the enemy to stem the
French attack. The loss of Lens wouli
Iorce a readjustment Of the entire Ger.
man line from Arras to the sea. The
Germans are therefore battling for con
unued possession Of the ground they
now hold with utter disregard for hu
man life.
Thousands of shells are being hurled
against the German positions by Frencl
pieces. Hundreds OF yards of entapgle
megts before the German trenches ar,
declared to have been torn up bv tn,
