The Seven Important Phases of the
Conflict Outlined, with Some De-
tails of Most Ambitious Battles

the East Prussan frontier, forced the Narcw-Bohr
line and came up TO the Bug in the rear OF Warsaw.
Ivangorod was virtually surrounded in the last
week in July. the NiStula forced south of War

Failing in the effort to strike what might have
been a mortal blow in Poland the German high COM

most demorallzed They discovered they could hold
their ground against the most desperate German at
tacks. but they we're in no condition to attack in
their turn SO far as Britain concerned, her old
army was gone, her new one was not ready and all
her ammunition had been shot away
France had lost probably thrccqmrters of mill
ion men in casualties, but her organization was in
tact; her cadres while pretty much shot to pieces
were in being.
SO rapid was the French recupemtion that Ianu
airy found them hoty attacking north of the Aisne
in the region of scissors They made few early
gains but at the crucial moment heavy rains caused
a flood in the valley and the Germans moved large
reinforcements up to the threatened front The
high waters washed away a bridge depended on by
the Trench for their supplies and they counter
attacked with great force. There was nothing for
them to do but effect us hasty retirement rs posi-

lost their own small gains but the ground the British
had conquered during the Battle of the Aisne ana

This was the first of a series of local offensives
directed by General Joffre, in which during the next
six months he carefully felt out every important
sector in the long line from the to the Nosges.
Champagne has been the scene Of some Of the
most sanguinary fighting of the war The narrow
strip Of rolling country between Rheims and the
Argonnc was selected for the next French blow,
which in the end involved more than half a million
men in the month it was in progress The purpose
of the French was TO obtain possession of the rail

and feeblemindedness. How may sickness and
feeblemindedness be cured They can't be
cured; they can only be prevented. Why don't
we prevent? Principally because we refuse to
listen to those who know. The Germans use
their scientists and reap benefits. We call our
scientists cranks and lose the benefits they
would bring to u.s.
The scientists tell us feebemindedness is a
matter of heredity. This is true. There is no
cure 1t may only be prevented, and this can
only be done by stopping absolutely the breed
ing of the unfit. Feeblemindedness increases
under our present methods of treatment. Asy-
lums, so-called charity societies." and public
relief" increase sickness and feebleminded-
ness. The real and great charity is to practice
prevention. Natures way is the best. 1t is
only as we follow nature that we succeed.
Hygiene is the science which can lower our
taxes. Lower taxes will never come with the
multiplying of insane asyums, hospitals, drug
stores and schools for the feebleminded. The
hygienists (health cranks) can practically ap-
ply hygiene. Lawyers, merchants, editors,
shoemakers and wall paper cleaners, etc.,can not
practically apply hygiene to everyday life
However,, they can be sensible and practical,
and see to it that our foolish faith in cure is
smitten hard and then stand for the ounce Of
prevention. Let us hope the scale will fall from
their eyes and that they will see and do. The
most important business before the business
man today is the business of the public health.

when that wonderful peace foods
your souls, arise, O voters, implore
you, arise in the dignity and strength
of manhood and help strike liquor
its death blow. Try to retrieve part
of the heartache you have caused.
Let us wipe this damnable traffic
from Gods fair world. Tho created in
Gods image we are not living up to
our calling nor to our privileges.
Liquor weakens the physical body;
liquor steals away the reason, the
will power, often the brain itself,
makes fiends and lunatics out of God S
creatures; liquor robs countless mil
lions of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness; liquor depopulates
homes but populates insane asylums,
hospitals for defective children, jaiis,
prisons, etc. yea, liquor buys the very
immortal souls of millions. Shall it
stay with your permission? Help wipe
it from your beautiful city so it will
be a fit place to rear the growing
generation.
Saloons cannot run without boys.
Have you one to spare? Help drive it
firm the face of the earth. There is
no place, no room for the accused
stuff. In Gods name and for the
sake of homes everywhere l plead
with you-vote dry.

AS a former resident of Richmond,
and having recently read two of your
papers telling of the numbering in
cold blood of two of your brave police
officers, please allow me, if there be
space to say few words. To the wet

that God and the temperance forces

dual murder committed in your fair

the trigger should be tried for murder,
