HER SIIDE---AND HIS
 MAN AND COMPROMISE
By ZOE BECKLEY

He outlined at dinner just what hap pened between himself and Rourke and the between-the-lines meaning Of Rowke's proposition.
 "It may surprise you, Chick, but what I liked least of all was his com plaisance about the collapse of the fac tory l had designed. Because if he wanted me to do nothing but leeiti- mate work an apparent failure like that would be.a drawback to my suit ability. As far as Rourke knows, my record as an architect is somewhat clouded. Now I suspect the man who knowingly hires a man with an off color record: that is, unless he does so out of highly humanitarian mo- tives. But the one thing I am sure about Rourke and his crowd is that they are not humanitarians. So it is not for my probity he is hiring me"
 "Davey, it isn't for any dishonest purpose, is it?" Cora cried anxiously.
 He hasn't said so-as yet David replied seriously. "But he is brother to Dan Rourke the political boss of the party in power in this city. The party in power is mulcting the city on all sorts of building projects mulcting it for millions of dollars, for some of which the city gets fair returns and for some of which it gets nothing or worse than nothing-rotten structures. Now do you see why I am not overpleased at Rourke's com plaisance at what he must suspect must have been a dishonest piece of work on my part? My suspicious that

Today the French once more hold all the hills about Yer dun, and of their losses in the defense they have retaken every yard that was of military value.

 So far as is publicly known the allies have made no protest to America about
 the U-53, but it is no secret that they are only biding their time and, after election, will make representations to Washington unless Washington tells Ger many that submarine operations in the western Atlantic are not permissible. In their state of intense indignation scme people berate the American navy for answering the 0 of the sinking ships, thus maring it possible for the sub marine to comply with the American gov ernments requirements that the passen- gers be put in place of safety. Such as these give no consideration to the tremendous outcry that would have gone up in England had the American ships at hand failed to respond to the distress signals from sinking British vessels A more legitimate criticism, but one based on theory. is that having once found the American navy ready to pick up peo- pie in Doats German submarines will now cross the Atlantic and make a practice Of sinking ships and then sending for the American navy to rescue passengers and crews

From Germany Makes a New Bid for
 Peace by Battle.' by Frank H. Sim
 onds, in the American Review of Re-
 views.
 On October 21. exactly eight months to the day after the first German attack, three French divisions, commanded by General Magin, left their trenches, swarmed up the famous slopes of Fort Douaumont, took the fort, took the vil- lage of Fleury. the woods of Caillette, of Laufee. of Fumin, took the Haudrau- mont quarries, the farm and work Of Thiaumont. took the Damloup battery. and stretched net around the Fort of Vaux village and about Vaux pond. In few hours there were retaken all the important places, all the component parts in the defensive system of the fortified camp of Verdun. save only the Fort Of Vaux, and that was evacuated by the Germans few days later.
 When the French attack had ended and Vaux had been evacuated. the French re- mained in possession of every fort and every prepared line which had been erected before the war and which be- longed to the old verdun defense system. They had retaken in less than six hours the ground which had occupied the Ger man army for more than seven months in daily fighting and cost the Germans
