The Offensive Is Not Broken

1t is useless for the Germans to set up the assertion
that the Anglo-FTench offensive has broken down It
is false hope which be of benefit to the morale
of the Teutons because it will be proved untrue.
The offensive is subject to luls now and then but
event to an outsider afar off clear that the offensive
has stopped, will it stop while the entente pow
ers have abundant forces of and still abun-
dant supplies of munitions So long the entente Is
able to sow every yard of enemy trenches with shells
without apparently diminishing the reserves; so long
as those shells are able to level the enemy works and
allow the infantry comparatively easy advance; so
long as Germans unable retain their positions
the face of paralyzing fire, just SO long Will the
British and French continue their offensive
They be counted TO every ounce of vgor in
maintaining the battle the western front to
prevent Germany from shifting forces to strengthen the
eastern line where Russia is trying to overwhelm the
Teutons.

pretty well illustrated at Douglas few nights ago
when at motion picture show, the nights went OUT
at 8:45 o'clock and stayed out until TO-
few of the audience left but the rest had the time
of their lives There were several hundred soldiers IN the
house and concert started everyone falling into
the spirit of the thing and singing when ne knew tne
song and bluffing when he didn't The Singing was SO
loud and so ovous that passersby attracted to the
place and paid the price of admission to get INTO the
game As finale the crowd got together on 1lppeIaIy
and nearly raised the roof We have the word OF the
newspapers for that And then, the audience having
sung everything it knew, and being little hoarse De-
sides filed out and went home.
That crowd had its moneys worth 1t mad us even

Fake Accident Graft

In New York new kind of graft has been uncov-
cred at time when it seemed that every believable
kind of sly knavery had been tried at least
This is a fake accident graft, operated through
the COLLISION of ostensbe victims Of accident doctors
and lawyers The real victims accident insurance
companies and particularly large business firms
For instance a New York lawyer Of the tricky kind
will gather together a number Of men who have had
accidents of the most momentary and insignificant
character take them before the claim department Of
the street company and threaten suit, each
being certified by properly drawn medical certificate
But he will offer to settle the leases" all in lump at
certain fixed sum, usually about $3.50 each. Many
firm settles promptly, knowing full well it is being
backmailed prefe-Iing not to take the into
court and stand chance of having to pay the costs
as well as damages. This for the reason that
can know what a jury will do. Many half clever
shyster has played upon the sympathies of jury
to defeat justice.
In New York, accident insurance companies have
taken the initiative bring about through the district
attorneys office investigation of the frauds which
are declared to be widespread and constantly growing
1t is apparent the investigators are hampered night
at the start by the difficulty of distinguishing between
those in which real injury has been sustained
and the fakes.
