Signals Are Changed.

Apparently, the German signal
that night for increased artillery fire
was a great cluster of crimson lights
thrown from a single bomb rocket.
These signals change nightly, but
the increasing German fire following
the appearance of each red shower
indicated the source of the signals.
Then there were bombs throwing a
ghostly green glow, others whose
rays were bright blue. Added to
these was a bright light from the
French parachute bombs of illumina-
ton, which hung high over the
German rockets, drifting slowly with
the breeze until the flame flickered
out.
"The German Illuminating bombs,
which are not sustained with para
chutes, shot up behind their lines,
falling in a long arc of fire until the
ball struck the earth and disappear
ed in a cloud of smoke and sparks.
The smoke chung densely to the hill
sides. obscuring the clear view 1.-The
Illuminating rockets otherwise would
have given.
"The activity was maintained un-
till midnight, when the French had
strongly established themselves in
Thiaumont and the Germans ceas-
ed to rush up more men in the costly
effort"

must go on. Granting that neither
side can overcome the other, why
not make peace2 That is the basis
of the peace talk you hear about.
But the German people would not
accept a peace the terms of which
placed them In the position of a de-
feated nation. Rather than that
they will go on with the war for
years. ".F.
The allies do not reckon on Ger
many being nearly exhausted in
men or supplies. They know that
she is still strong in both. They are
immensely stronger in men than Ger
many, but II was not until they got
the advantage in artillery on the
western front that they could ad-
vance. II they can still keep on ad-
vancing and can ultimately force the
Germans back to the Rhine. Few
conservative military men think that
the Germans can ever be driven
AZ tht WOhot AOi oNA hhohy
the war will end at the Rhine.
With Germany still strong and I'M
beaten it is entirely possible that
some unforeseen circumstances might
give her the advantage again. The
allies are aiming their most effective
blows at Germany's partners. Tur-
key is in bad way. Bulgaria may
be surrounded and overwhelmed.
But every effort is being made to
deal a death stroke to Austria. If
the dual monarchy can be put out of
the war Germany will have to face
all her enemies single handed. That
she can do so no one doubts, and
but for the British mastery of the
sea she might hold out for years.

Paris, Sept. "Details from an

describing the retaking of ThiaumOnt,
for months a desperately contested
point on the Verdun front. The
French officer penning the account
says the struggle exceeded in fero-
sity anything since the beginning of
the battle. He writes:
About $40 in the evening hun
dreds Of guns, mostly of large cali
bre, opened their destructive fire pre-

The Story Of The Olive.

The story of the olive is one that
begins back in the dim and misty
past. For thousands of years man
has used this magnificent fruit, and
many prominent personages have con-
sidered it an indispensable article of
food. 1t was given prominent
place on the tables of Egyptian kings
and was revered and often blessed
by the patriarchs and Apostolic
Fathers. Noah knew that the food
had subsidized because his dove re-
turned to the ark with an olive
branch. The olive tree has been Gull
tivated for its fruit for thousands of
years, and its branches are the en-
blems of peace. 1t has been greatly
improved by cultivation, and today
is considered one of the most deli
cious luxuries of the table.
Olives grow in different parts of
the world, but nowhere to such per-
lection as along the shores of the
mediterranean. The edible varie-
ties are grown in a very restricted
area with a radius of fifty miles, of
which Seville, Spain, is the center.
Here are produced what are known
as the Queen and Manzanilla olives
varieties that mans ingenuity has
never been able to satisfactorily
grow Observation-Disclosures Distinc-
ton through Pure Food Ideals" W.

September.

BIRDS IN POULTRY
PLANT HIGH filters

California, Mo-, Sept. 9.-"The
birds in the poultry plant here are
real high fiiers." They have one
convenience that no monarch could
have enjoyed fifty years ago. That
convenience is electric fans.
Electric fans and running water
have been installed in the large feed
ing station of the A. B. Cole & Sons
plant here. Under the play of a
fountain in the feeding station is the
favorite haunt for the ducks and
geese.
The management found the fans
and water save the lives of many
fowls, and make them fatten faster
in hot weather.

Watches Across River.

when the infantry advanced l was
1T Charny, across the river and above
Thiaumont, of which l had a good
view. As usual in trench sorties, the
first line of attack was followed by
trench cleaners, then reserves. The
first line opened the way with hand
grenad es and rifles, finding less re-
sistance than was anticipated. In
places the German earthworks cav
ed in, burying the men in the exca-
Vations at the rear. The trench
cleaners, whose duty is to make GER
tain the subjugation of the Germans
who are alive after the lombard

attack. quickly disarmed the remain
ing Germans and sent them to the
rear. The reserves arrived and sue
asssfuIIy gated and held the former
snemy positions.
1T was dark when the attack be-

9:30 last night The gas gnted by electrical machinery
exploded with terrific force.
Ten bodies Of the victims have been taken from the
death hole Rescuers estimate 13 men are dead in
the tunnel. Ten escaped with injuries
The ten removed were members of the three rescue
parties who descended into the death trap although they
had no helmets.
Burrowing towards Shore little band of workmen

monster natural gas pocket With tremendous force, it
swept in upon the helpless workmen trapping them in
the ten foot concrete tube Then terrific expos
ion the gas ignited from spark in electrical machn

twinkling. .,..-.
Failure to make proper tests of gas strength and lack
of sufficient air pressure in the tube pointed out
contributing causes Of the disaster.
