over the thought that a branch railroad
and county road will be built from Luke

the busiest seasons ever before ex-

each day during the month just closed.

Of protest from the more conservative
of many nations.
Even Ellen Key, the Swedish femin-

considered by many the last word in

to trained specialists the care, educa-

that the individual mother Is, or ever

he needs in ever increasing addition

against Thanh and Muelhausen, he
earned the distinction Of destroying an
entire German artillery battery, thus
permitting the temporary capture of
Thanh.
During the Marne- Ourcq battle he
commanded the Seventh army corps
artillery under General Manoury.
Promoted to be a general in October,
1914, he scored a decisive check against
the Germans when they LAUGHED the

A sturdy, semi-blonde type of
Frenchman with plentiful hair, close

eyes and yise-like mouth and chin,
Nivelle is loved alike by officers and
soldiers and credited with having in
