THE FALL OF COMPLIES

HNHE capture OF Combles, after weeks OF
L investment by the English on the
north and the French on the south, unties
a hard knot at the point where the two
Allies lines meet But the fair OF the
pocketed village was inevitable, ana is
far less significant than the steady nib
bling of the offensive In the last fort
night, which won far more territory
and yet was comparatively unheralded.
Combles was honeycombed with subter-
ranean retreats. and the Allies swept
past the strongly defended place until
the retreat of its garrison was cut OF.
This is in line with their policy of 'saving
men, no matter how much time is spent
In doing 50.
The latest advance on a line from ten
to fifteen miles long closes another chap
ter in the tale OF a constant three
months offensive Each chapter begins
with a terrific pounding Of big guns and
invariably ends with the demonstrated
superiority OF the Allies artillery over
their enemy's. and the consequent ~ad-
vance OF the infantry. 1t Is the belief
IN London that Won Hindenburg is trans
ferring every unit that can be spared
from the somme 10 relieve the increasine
strain I'm the Balkans and in Hungary.
Such transfers, II continued. will mean
that the Germans have determined to
abandon by slow degrees their present
line In France. But military observers
point out that this method OF retreat Is
risky business. especially as the Allies
aircraft can keep their armies posted
about the weakened points In the Ger
mans second and third lines. behind the
battlefront. as from time TO time the gaps
sppeaf IN the reinforcements. should the
Allies burst through one OF these weak
points, the slow retreat might be turned
Into Z rout

BANKS OF BRANDYWINE

By D. S. HIGGINS. in wilmington Journal
There is no place upon this earth.
On which the sun does shine;
No place so full of happiness
When loving hearts entwine:
No place where pleasure reigns supreme
Over hills and green ravine,
As that place in little Delaware,
The banks Of Brandywine.
Here is where nature first unrobed.
And made her grand display;
Here is where Cupid keeps his dates.
And with them often plays;
Where little rils winding down the hills,
And through the green ravine.
In that howery dell at Wilmington.
The banks OF Brandywine.
Here from the base OF giant rocks.
Flows streamlets to the brink.
Where Neptune loves to wander,
To take his nectar drink.
His daughters. with their brush and combs,
On slippery rocks recline;
And daisies dancing over the hills,
On the banks of Brandywine.
