Life Continual Battle.

But even when no engagements. take
place the life of the troops in the
trenches is continual battle. The
first line of infantry, only a few meters
distant from the enemy. enjoys not
single minute of quietude; it Is under
the constant menace of grenades, burst
ing shrapnel. bombs from mine throw
ers, and there is continual fear of sub
terranean mines.
1.-The infantryman must remain con-
tinually on the ENTHUSIASTICALLY in
the smoke of asphyxiating bombs
hold himself ready at every moment to
repulse an attack, repair Notifications
remove Instructions that have fallen
into the trenches and live in the con-
tinued presence of death. Such life
demands continual activity on the part
of the officers. calmness on the part
of the men, patience and bravery at all
times.
The French army has gained from
it's long sojourn in the trenches mag
nif1cent endurance; it has lost nothing
of it's eagerness and confidence. It's
faith in the offensive remains intact;
its morale is the admiration of those
who command it. This morale is the
best gauge of final victory, by which
our territory will be liberated, Europe
freed and peace re-established."

Would Hold Forces in West.

IF. despite these difficulties. the
French army renews an offensive at
the price of bloody sacrifice. it is
with the conscientious mission of hold
ing large enemy forces on the western
front. By the Marine victory it stopped
the invasion and ruined the first Ger
man plan, which was. first. to shatter
France and return then against Russia
by the victory of the User, with the
aid of the allied armies closing the line
of defense. it effectively prevented the
enemy from getting a foothold in Pass
de Calais.
BY continuous offensive actions from
February to July in Champagne. the
Argonne and Artois. it demoralized ap-
proximately 100000 men and captured
an enormous amount of material.
stant's respite it forced the German
general staff to utilize on the western
front reserves in barracks and arsenals.

Guns Now Down Troops.

But no matter how numerous the
heavy guns or how well directed their
fire, it often happens that the prepara-
ton has been insufficient. One or two
rapid-firers NOW down the troops who
climb from the trenches ready for the
charge, and after suffering heavy sac
rifices the attacking party arrives at
the first line of the trenches of the en-
envy. The opposing artillery with a
liberal wall of fire effectively prevents
any reinforcements from advancing to
their support They must fortify the
captured trenches. being subjected the
while to much more accurate lombard
ment. as the enemy knows the exact
range of their former positions.
Such offensive movements could not
be multiplied nor prolonged Indefinite
ly, as much on account of the moral
and physical effort which they demand
of the men as on account of the losses
which they involve. Neither can such
offensive be improvised Before be-
ginning an attack large quantities of
material and projectiles must be gath

Real Goal Is Cited.

ut would be a serious mistake to
measure our effort by the ground con-
quered. The Generalization and wear
ing down of the German army is the
real goal.
I'VE have attained this goal, since it
has been proved that during these six
months the enemy has suffered heavy
losses, and taking everything into con-
sideration he can only remove from
our front per cent of his total eff
fectives.
The great battles on the western
front were fought in Champagne dur
ing the months of February and March.
between the Mouse and the Moselle
during the month of April. and in
Artois during May and June.
Elm Champagne we have taken the
enemy's defenses for a depth of from
two to seven kilometers from one and
one-third to four and one-third miles)
which repeated and heavy counter at
tacks have not been able to recapture.
Between four and five German army
corps have suffered heavy losses, two
regiments of the guard being almost
destroyed. On the captured ground
nearly 1000 German dead were count
ed. We took 1000 prisoners, rapid-are
guns and a large number of trench
cannon.

5000 Prisoners Taken.

"In Artois more than 5000 prisoners,
cannon of all calibers, hundred quick
firers and bombthrowers fell into our
hands.

(more than six miles) we have ad
vanced from two to four kilometers

operations of less Importance permitted
us to take, at Toutvent, 1900 meters
Of trenches, and at Quennevieres $500
meters.
''The capture of Vauquois, in the Ar
gonne, and Metzeral and Hartmans-
Weller in the Fecht valley in Alsace,
constituted brilliant victories for our
troops. Judging from the desperate
character of the fighting, the amount
of munitions expended and the number
of forces engaged. those engagements
were veritable battles. Their prepara-
ton and realization represent large
sacrifices.

Guaranteed.

In one of the little mountain towns
Of the south a Chautauqua meeting
was held last summer for the first
time. The fact was advertised for
some distance round the town, but the
older negroes especially did not under
stand what it was all about.
Across the front of the little hotel Of
the village was flung Il banner bearing
the one word "Chautauqua."
Up to this hotel one day drove an old
negro in a one horse wagon containing
a few vegetables. which he hoped to
sell to the proprietor, as he had done
on former occasions. But when he
saw the banner with it's ominous word
he was seized with fright and would
not go into the building or even get
out of his wagon. When the proprietor
appeared the old fellow inquired nerv-
ously. What disease is you all quar-
antined for, boss ?'-Youth's CompaD

THE MUDDY MISSOURI.
How the River Lowers the Surface OF
the Land It Drains.

The Missouri is the muddiest river in
the Mississippi valley. 1t carries more
silt than any other large river in the
United States except possibly the Rio
Grande and the Colorado. For every
square mile of country drained it il r
ries downstream 3S1 tons of dissolved
and suspended matter each year. In
other words, the river gathers annual
ly from the country that 1t drains
more than 1913. 600 900 tons Of silt and
soluble matter, some of which it dis
tributes over the flood plains below to
form productive agricultural lands.
but most of which finds its way at last
to the gulf of Mexico.
1t is by means Of data of this kind
that biologists compute the rate ut
which the lands are being erOded away.
1t has been shown that the Missouri
river is lowering the surface of the
land drained by it at the rate of l foot
in G,O3G years. The surface of the
United States as a whole is now being
worn down at the rate Of I foot in
9,12O years.
1t has been estimated that if this
erosive action of the streams of the
United States could have been cOncen
trated on the isthmus of Panama II
would have dug in seventy-three days
the canal which was completed after
ten years work with the most power
full appliances yet devised by man.

Tears.

If every wish were granted.
If every hope came true.
If every seed we planted
A lovely blossom grew,
If every day were sunny
And every one were wise,
There'd be no sweet in honey,
There'd be no Joys to prize.
If we knew that tomorrow
Would be just like today,
With not one touch Of sorrow.
Nc care to spoil u play.
No doubt and no misgiving,
No heartaches and no fears,
Then vain were all our living,
We'd crave the Joy Of tears.
We'd sigh for sacred sorrow,
We'd long to feel the rain,
And we should yearn to borrow
The blessedness of pain,
For more than all the pleasure
That came and quickly fled
Adown the years we treasure
The tears that we have shed.
