offensive, began their smashing blows.
The rest OF the story is known. The
Germans retreated precipitously leav-

The French praise the German COM
manders for escaping at all. Under
less able leaders, the French say,
they could not have extricated their
armies, so well prepared were the
plans of General Joffre.

The New Years reception at the y.

cessful in the history OF the association.
More than a thousand visitors were en-
tcrtained. The exercises started at $3.50
O'Clock, when the boys gymnasium class
gave an exhibition. An added attrac-
tion was the tumhling troup, consist
imp of Carl II. Meissner. physical di-
rector; Henry Marston, Richard Walker
and John Pierson. They executed a
number OF clever stunts. The cani-
val Of nations was well executed by the
boys. A feature attraction was the
drill by the y. NJ. G. A. Scout Troop, no.

they would be and as he is believed
to have planned, and the so-called
Battle of the Marne ended in a victory
for the Allies and the consequent
saving of the capital.
How did Joffre lead up to his vic
tory? BY refusing TO play the grand
stand; by attending to his job re-
gardless Of what the public might
think.
The French commander-in-chief de-
cided TO retire the bulk of his forces
east of Paris to positions south of
the Marne and the Ornain and there
prepare his offensive. On the first
of September this movement was well
under way and, so far as / can
gather, it was the rapidity of this
movement which fooled the German
commanders and led them into the
error Of believing the French and
English armies TO all intents routed.
From this supposed definite retreat
of the Allies, the German commanders
took to their cue. They had two al
ternatives before them Either they
would have to pursue the Allies with
the bulk of their armies, in the mo-
ment neglecting Paris. or else lei the
Allies go and take Paris, a result ap-
parently ardently desired from both
military and political points Of view
If they chose the first course, they
risked development in a country cut
by numerous water cOurses-Marne
Grand Norm. Petit NORM, etc.-but
il they chose the second such a vast
number of troops would be necessary
that elsewhere their lines would b'
so weakened that an offensive by th'
Allies might prove disastrous.
So they chose the first course, since
apparently the Allies were practical

them and annihilate both French ant

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT

New York; After talking with officers
here who took part in the lighting ana
who have since made an exhaustive
study of the situation, / am now able
to throw additional light on the "mys-
terv of August" that period of the war
leading up to the battle of the Marine
and about which practically nothing
thus far mas been made public.
The official communiques during Au-

tails. All that the world knew was thar
fierce fighting was in progress that the
French and English armies were IN re-

most of her lights out, her population

what was going on at the front the
public did not know. Rumor had It, to
wards the first of September that tn
Germans were in the Paris suburbs
and the exodus was increased, railway
stations were pacKeu. and many peopl
with first class tickets were glad to tin'
plank seats in freight cars bound TO
The South.
At this precise moment, without tn
public knowing it, the tide had turned
the Germans had abandoned Paris a
their objective; General Johre had out

It now appears certain that Genera

New News Of Yesterday
The Curious Sounds That
Are Never Heard
By Holland.

A manufacturer OF a certain kind of
equipment which at one time was used
in large amounts by Edison in his
workshop at West Orange. n. j.. was
reminded when he read the report
telling of the destruction by fire of
much the greater part of the Edison
plant of an incident which happened
years ago at time when he saw more
of Edison than he has been able TO do
in recent years. The incident was
described to me by David c. Grant,
now cashier of one of the largest ma
/ tional banks of New York, who was
member of the family of the manu-
/ facturer with when Edison dealt One
! day, years ago, at a time when Edison
was making his preliminary studies
and experiments which afterward
made the perfected. phonograph possi-
ble he met his friend. the manufac-
turer. Fortunately, Edison was not
for the moment especially busy 50
that he was able to make exposition
of certain wonderful things which had
come within his knowledge during
his experiments of one kind and an
other
He said to his friend: How is your
hearing? Is It normal? DO you hear
pretty well?"
In reply. the friend said that "he
sometimes thought that his hearing
was more acute that that of most
persons. He could hear a watch tick
although IL was held some distance
from his ear"
There are some sounds. a great
many. in fact" said Edison, (which
you do not hear. no matter how good
your hearing may be. Now. listenl
Do you hear any unusual sound In
the air?"
The man listened, but said that he
heard nothing but the usual sounds
"Now let me fix this little apparatu:
to your ear" said Edison "and wher
I have adjusted it you stand perfect
ly quiet and listen a while and ther
tell me what you hear"
He adjusted the apparatus to his
friends ear and stood watching in
tently the change on his friends face
There appeared at last an expression
which indicated wonder, something
like awe.
AT last Edison said, "Well. did yol
hear any unfamiliar soundsT
The man replied by saying that n
heard curious, indescribable sound
and there we're many different ones
He could not explain them and h
asked Edison for an explanation, won
dering whether there might not b.
some trick about the apparatus.
Edison said: "Our atmosphere j
filled full of all kinds of sounds. Som
of these | am sure the birds hear, al
though We do not. The human ear

There is never any cessation of thes
sounds excepting probably at grea
