the Germans have smashed their way

as 800 yards. and the British official

Berlin SAYS that a majority Of the de

that one officer and several dozens OF

Paris. Feb. II. Soldiers who nave
taken part in the fighting in Arto's
during the last three weeks tell me
that the German army on the western
front to-day is very different from the
machine of six months ago. Even the
picked attacking troops" they say
have lost their elan. and there Is no
more Of that splendid disregard OF
death with which they formerly
marched in solid waves on the French
trenches.
The German artillery is still efhca-
cious and very much 10 be reckoned
with. But the general opinion is that
either guns or shells are now lacking
in numbers. for while the Germans are
supplied with quick firing gunt Of all
cslibres with which they csn do tre-
mendous execution on the opposing
trenches IN very short time, they
seem short either in guns or smells 10
distribute alcng an extended front Tor
al attack. 49,.
Ir ,nc recent Artois fighting their
practice has been TO concentrate
large number of heavy quick hring
guns against a short section of French
trenches. and apparently the guns have
20 be moved to the attack on an eN-
tended line.
The purpose Of the fighting in Artois.
which is not the grand offensive, but
local measure 10 strengthen again the
L., ,,-r, hold IN q
plsin Of Douai. may account for this
system Of using artillery. But. on the
other hand. there seems no doubt that
the morale Of the German troops has
suffered greatly.
Even after the artillery has thor
oughlv prepared the way. the troops
leave the trenches reluctantly and the
charge lacks the spirit and dash Of a
few months ago. When the French
counter attack TO retake the ground
seized, the Germans. instead OF put
ting up a struggle. put up their hands
and surrender tamely.
The French we're much surprised IN
the last three days Of the fighting TO
find two veteran Prussisn regiments,
specially brought in for the attack and
which had been only two days on the
Artois front, showing the same lack OF
stomach for the fight.
An incident related by surgeon in
Paris on o brief leave from Artois
illustrates the change. He had to am
putate the hand Of a French soldier,
and asked how he got wounded.
From a grenade" the soldier re-
piled.
"You held il TOO long," the -urgeon
said
NO" the soldier answered. ait went
of too soon. II was q German gren-
ade ! was throwing back at them
He explained that the Germans got
nervous and threw the grenades too
soon. so the French soldiers had time
to pick them up and throw them back.
I'VE have been doing it for months"

A SAM LLOYD PUZZLE.

A Boston man of means char tered two steamers at $5OOo a month and the same day re-chart9'' ed them for $13,O00 a month, the charter running for two years. So for two years this Bostonian Will draw $8,OO0 a month profit with out soiling a hand, turning a hair or doing anything more laborloas than signing his name to paper
 Now, good people all, that money does not come from Heaven Neither was it created by the Bos- ton man. The ships did not make that money for him nor did those who charter the vessel. But whe2 YOU next hear complaints of hign rates for shrring, just think o1 the Boston men who sit at ease making thousands month while you pay the piper. Then turn and admire the obvious beauties of our glorl- ous economic system. Let us prey.

HUGHES THE ENLIGHTENER.

The other day Charles E. Hughes spoke to university students upon Americanism. Hughes is brilliant mans and naturally after being upon the Supreme Bench he ought to be able to say whole lot with out any person understanding him He seems to have achieved a pecu- liarly brilliant success when he took for his subject Americanism. At least he left his hearers fairly con- yinced that Americanism was some- thing. He said: "Men and women must think out Americanism for themselves individually. They must be men or women who believe ii something. Americanism is some thing. Something that is the grand est thing in the United States. No one could read that without being convinced that Charles Hughes is the grandest exponent of American ism that ever lived.

FAILURE.

The Majority fail. The Minority succeed. But that is only the ex- pression of a condition. Many whom we believe have failed achieved the most eminent success. Many who apparently succeed have been me- lancholy failures.
 There is only just one test for any person in this world and that is: did he make money. Whatever gifts you have unless they are real ized in terms of dollars and cents you are branded a failure. Your deathlessness is in what money you make. The world has nothing but a sneering rhyme for the flower that wastes it's sweetness on the de- sert air, and the gems within the dark unfathomed caves of ocean are fttingly despised. But all admire the orchid rescued for the million aires conservatory and the glitter l ing jewel on his wife's hair attracts universal praise The qualities with in matter not. The financial gains are what count. The world lives on profit ideal. It worships cent per cent. It's law is the law of proper ty and it's ethical system is the mo- rality of the counting house. If you can pay enough for prayer you can save your immortal soul and with wealth you can always secure the services of. spiritual advised Nothing is impossible to money, and the rich man enters the kingdom of heaven because his money en- ables the camel to pass through the eye of a needle with ease. The li- tany of the ledger is more efficacl- ous than the book of prayer. Money
 is success. Nothing succeeds like money. There is no pity, no mercy for the failures.
