M'sieu Louis Does Ii Before

Although scientists have proved obso-
lutely that II Is impossible to remove

glcal problem was grappled successfully
yesterday afternoon when M'sieu Louis
Brac, n chef from that dear Paris,
proved In the ballroom OF the Hotel
Majestic before an elbow touching
clinic that It In possible to remove a
shad from his entire bony structure.
Removing all the bones from a shad
has a tendency, from tho shad's view
point, however. to ruin the shad ut.

the housewife and her shad hungry
husband M'sieu I>ouis's def methods OF

white cap--Spotless even after he had

Sir-The present tremendous war should bring

In this formidable struggle, contradiotng as 1t

States. and the public conviction is that the
Allies will defeat tho combined powers of Ger
many. Austria and Turkey
In that event the question arises VIII the
victory OF the Allies bring freedom and peace
10 the world for all time? or will II be a mere
settlement and adjustment of States, leaving
the world face TO face with future wars and
devastatlonsY And what measures and reforms
win bring and give to the world freedom and
peace9
Here are few vital reforms. roughly

Safety First Means Victory at Last

~ Balaklavas, for all our superstition about
the powers OF the man who never knows
when he Is beaten" retreat. quick retreat and
determined retreat is the most valuable fac
tor in modern military strategy. Nine times
out OF ten 1t stems disaster, half the time 1t
makes ultimate victory possible
That is a lesson the French learned long
ago. Their whole military temper and mili-
q tary strategy Is built on the expectation of
meeting superior forces, retiring before them
and finally leading them into position In
which they may be outmaneuvered. That
policy saved France in the present war. a
greatly outnumbered force received the shock
OF the German advance through Belgium re-
treated promptly but desperately before the
onslaught, left wounded stragglers guns and
stores all the way to the Aisne southeast OF
Paris But then!-the reserve forces were
ready, other portions of the line had their
orders and the principal mass of the French
army which would have been outnumbered
and defeated in a straight line resistance,
swung in upon the German right with a force
and local superiority that flung back the
invaders and definitely ended the Teutonic
menace. without the retreat from Mons and
the sambre, that result would never have
been possible The Kaiser would long ago
have dined in Paris.
The Teutons have never learned this vir-
tue of retreat Lemberg fell and half an
army was captured because of this. Neither
have they learned the companion lesson OF
evacuatinE town that will be surrounded
thus Przemysl furnished hundred thousand
captfves

and fallen back into strategically stronger
positions The case OF Warsaw seems the
same The Germans have failed to envelop
their eastern foe-the only decisive outcome
today---because the Russians have kept an
eye on the cardinal point OF sane strategy,
and have withdrawn at the first threat of
development from Lublin on the south and
at the Narew on the north 1t is, no doubt,
diHicult retreat the Grand Duke has had to
make from Warsaw. But 1t will have It's
