AS in a drama the action must rise
till the final act, SO in the battle OF
the Champagne the fight around the
height and its end in defeat took
place.
During the last few battle days on
the war.tossed height we had noticed
comparatively large numbers OF
Frenchmen in their trenches but the
firmly expected attack had not taken
place. Not without reason did we
thereupon deduce that our opponents
no longer received their consignment
OF regiments promptly, and that our
artillery fire. kept them In their trench
So we no longer expected any ser
ious attack on this day. But the
French would not give up the struggle
without one last despairing attempt
Suddenly in the afternoon in great
masses they attacked Hill 1876 and its
eastern slope. The guards, reserves
and other troops Of the first line who
received the main force Of the con
flict, held their ground without way
ering.
The Fourth Turkish regiment ant
others attacked in five separate waves
man going past man, the company's
leader usually riding at the head. They
were received with hail of hand
grenades, which tore hundreds te
pieces and which threw the two from
lines into the air like letters of the
alphabet, while the ones at the real
Jared no better. Whoever escaped the
grenades fell under the bayonet at
tacks in the raging fight for possession
of the trench.
Despite all their "elan," despite
their tenacity and remarkable fearless
mess, the French were forced to re
treat. And now into the disorderet
masses as they retreated our heavy
artillery fire struck at front and side
the losses of the French were inhu
man.
With this last great attack on thu
height ended the winter battle in thu
Champagne. After a terrible struggle
that lasted for months, after the stak
ing of terrible human sacrifices, the
French had to give up their hope O.
making breach through to US.
The stalking thereon of their best
troops, who had fought with ALI the
tenacity Of the French and with the
greatest endurance, with the stalking
OF all their strength, had not only hat
no results, but had caused them
heavy loss For the main fact-thai
the attempt to make a breach hat
failed1showed that they, had suffered
q severe defeat.
German will power, the German
sense of duty, the4German discipline
and German heroism, had won one o
the most splendid sieges that thu
world has ever heard Of away from
gallic fanaticism and gallo impetuos

CONDEMNED BY ITS RECORD
Cold Facts Show That Democratic
Party Is Not Deserving OF the
Ccuntry's Confidence.

The Democratic party In congress,
by the record, shows the largest ex-
penditure in the country's history. out
side of preparedness expense.
The Democrats lack knowledge or
how to run the country.
They legislate and industries are
stifled and annihilated.
They kill business and give no re-
turn to the masses of the people.
They increase prices to the con-
sumer and destroy, or ut least lessen,
his chance of making n living.
They annul $G0,000,0oO or more an
nual revenue on sugar and'at the same
time increase its price to the CON
sumer, and allow the sugar interests
to buy ahead and make larger profits
and then afterward reverse their ac-
ton.
Vera Cruz fizzles, Mexican mud
dies and frenzied craftsmanship cry
to heaven.
A Republican victory next Novem-
ber In the White House and in con-
gress will be the salvation of these
United States.

AGAIN A failure
Democratic Party Has Once
More Shown Indifference.
Events Must Have Convinced the
Voters That the Country Will Sus-
fer From . Continuance OF
President Wilson'S Rule.

The people have had enough OF
Democratic rule once more to last
them for at least 20 years. The party
now In power has manifested its inefr-
cheney to govern the country proper
ly, whether the subject is regarded In
the light Of prosperity in our indus
tries. in the light of making the in
come and the outgo balance on the
books of the treasury, or in its deal
ing with foreign nations.
When the present party went into
office Its leader, Doctor Wilson. an
nounced with triumphant notes. with
Il courage based upon ignorance OF the
facts, that every act of his administra-
ton would be an open book to the
American people. He was to be like
the man who had glass window fixed
up in front of his heart in which
every beholder might read his every
thought. You would think from this
announcement of the president upon
his inauguration. or soon after. that
the representatives of the press were
to be invited to every council he held.
including cabinet meetings. He made
another flourish of trumpets which
was repeated several times by going
before congress and reading message
to that body very much after the fash
ion of the English monarch in his ad-
dress from the throne to the house OF
commons.
This promise of Mr.. Wilson has
been. like all the others he has made,
very much like thin pie crust. made
to be broken. There never was an ad-
ministration at Washington more Sc
cretive In Its actions than that carried
on under the leadership of the
Princeton professor. 1t was only the
other day that Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,. otherwise known as "GumshOe
Bill" raised tremendous howl In
the United States senate because
some enterprising newspaper man had
become possessed of the details of
the negotiations being carried on be-
tween the administration ut Washing
ton and the Danish government look
ing to the purchase of few little
patches of islands in the West Indies
at a price just five times as high as
that at which former Republican
administration barely failed tc Sc
cure possession of these few little cab
bage patches.

Promise. Of Economy Not Kept.

An indictment against the present
administration which the people will
not forget when they come to render
decision at the polls is the promise
of retrenchment In public expenditures
and Of economy made In the handling
of the public funds made by the presi-
dent and his followers. In the face of
these brave promises the administra-
ton has been extravagant In its use of
the taxpayers money. 1t has heaped
an Inheritance tax on the back of ev-
cry citizen Of the country who has a
dollar to be taxed out of. 1t has i'm
posed stamp tax on documents, on
California wines. and yet in spite of
these additional sources of revenue it
has been unable to make ends meet in
the government accounts, or come
within speaking distance of each other
Now we shall be treated to an addi-
tional tax in the increased Inheritance
tax, and now we are to have an in
crease in the income tax.

CARE FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
Do Not Worry Mother Hen by Inter
ference-Feed Bread Crumbs
When 48 Hours Old.

When the eggs begin to pip, do not
worry the hen by interference, but
let her severely alone till the chicks
are all out and dry. Then remove
to dry roomy coop which should he
rat and skunk proof. If you can have
a small runway attached to the south
side, enclosed by wire netting, SO
much the better. The hen should be
kept confined for a few days, allowing
the chicks to run in and out at will.
Do not be in hurry to feed the
little fellows, but scatter some coarse
sand or chick size grit in the chaff
or litter that you put on the floor of
their coop. They will pick at this
and beg. "A to learn to scratch for them
selves. When 4S hours old, give some
dry bread crumbs or hard-boiled egg.
Feed, often, but sparingly the first few
days. Vary the food given, using
rolled oats, cornbread, curd and stale
light bread ground fine, or soaked in
milk and squeezed dry.
Keep grit, charcoal and clean drink
ing water always before them. Feed
the hen first and the chick feed will
last longer. After the chicks are two
weeks old turn the old hen loose with
them to go where she will, always see
ing that they are securely cooped for
the night. At this age three feelings
a day are sufficient. Cracked corn,
kaffir and wheat Is a very good diet,
In addition to what they pick up.

UP TO PEOPLE TO DECIDE
simple Tariff Facts Which Make for
Prosperity, or Otherwise, Surely
Easy Of Comprehension.

large part of the Republican cam
paign argument is directed against the
Underwood tariff, which is asserted
TO be detrimental to ne interests of
iabof by encouraging imports and thus
providing men in other countries with
work and wages which might be done
and paid in this country.
In order to test the accuracy of this
argument it is necessary to consider
imports of finished manufactures apart
from imports of raw materials since
the working up of the latter provides
employment here and when the mate
rlals are not produced in this country
their Importation does not decrease de-
mand for American labor but provides
that demand
familiar illustration Is rubber,
which is hardly produced at all under
our flag, but whose import is the basis
of employment for many thousands of
workers, Textile manufactures and
Chemicals, on the other hand, when
imported in finished state, provide
work and wages in the country of or
igin which might have been done and
paid here.
Now the report of the department of
commerce for the fiscal year ended
June 30 shows that imports of chelni-
Gals and dyes and finished manufac-
lures of cotton, wool. silk and other
fibers increased in value from $3.50
3o5, 900 in 1918 to S399, ,392 900 in the
last fiscal year, The difference large
ly represents wage bill paid to for
eign labor, which under a different
tariff might have been paid to Ameri-
can labor.
Whether 1t would be to the advnn-
tage of the nation as a whole to have
u tariff which might divert this $780,
GOO, 900 or so from foreign workers to
Americans it is each voters privilege
to decide for himself. The broad facts

to the slender woman, with its avoid
ance of straight lines and its shapeli-

The Jacket has long revers and a

rather large at the top, but is mar

with an overlap along the forearm.
This, and the bottom of the sleeve, is
bound with braid.
Metal buttons are set along the
sleeve from the waist nearly to the ell
bow, and down the front of the velvet
vest. Larger buttons Of the same kind
are used for fastening the coat and
are Joined by silk cord. They are
set above the waistline.

HOPPER SYSTEM OF FEEDING
Begin by Supplying Dry Mash and
Later Include Grains-Feed Oats
for Bone and Muscle.

At this time of the year if it has
not previously been done, the hopper
system of feeding should be intro
duced for the growing chicks. Begin
by supplying the hoppers with dry
mash and later include grains. espe-
cially oats. Some tell US that their
chicks will not eat oats, but there is
nothing better for growing bone and
muscle. Hopper feeding greatly les
sens the amount of labor in caring
for chicks and gives the smaller and
weaker chicks an equal chance at the
feed with the others.
