timistic But Not Accepted by Americans

New London. Sept. 25.-Additions to
the already large mass of information
regarding Mexico's internal conditions
were made at the conference
Of the Mexican-American joint COM

Depth of Mile

From Martinpuich to Combles. a
distance of six miles, the British have
driven In their wedge to depth Of
more than a mile and captured In the
attack the important strategic towns
Of LesBoeufs and Morval, the latter
a scarft mile north Of Combles. To the
French fell Rancourt, two miles east
and the outskirts of Fregicourt, one
mile northeast Of Combles. In addi-
ton, trenches near Fregicourt, in the
vicinity Of Bouchavesnes and to the
south from the vicinity Of the Canal
du Nord to the Somme were taken.
CombIes Next
The capture Of Morval by the Brit
ish and of part Of Fregicourt by the

Combles, which the Germans have held
for weeks despite violent attacks
thrown against it, The defenders Of
the virtually surrounded town have left
to them for escape only the valley,
a mile in width, running north-north-
east and in the traversing Of which
they must come under the guns of the
British and French respectively from
Morval and the vicinity Of Fregicourt.
Important Trenches
Another notable step in their ap-
proach upon Peronne is marked in the
capture by the French Of trenches in
the Canal du Nord region.
Excepting France there has been no
important engagement on the fronts.
Berlin reports the repulse Of Rus
sian attacks in Volhynia, Galicia and
the Carpathian mountains. Petrograd
is still silent as to the operations on
the eastern front, but unofficial ad-
vices say the Russians have begun
a new offensive on a large scale in
the hope Of putting down the counter
attacks Of the Teutons and piercing
their front before winter sets in.
The Rumanians are still struggling
for supremacy over the Teutonic allies
in the Szurduk and Vulcan passes of
the Transylvanian Alps. but according
to Berlin all their attacks have been re-
pulsed.
In the Macedonian campaign contin-
ued reports Of successes for the En-
tente allies come from their various
war chancellories. West Of Florina the
Russians have captured hill from the
Bulgarians, the Serbians have crossed
the frontier into their own country and
reached a position Of Krusograd. while
the French northeast Of Florina have
penetrated the outskirts of Petorak.
The British to the north Of Lake Tahi-
nos on the eastern end Of the battle
line, also report an advance. but Berlin
says that all their attacks were repuls-
ed.
Aside from the capture by the Ital-
ians Of an important mountain peak on
the Trentino front. only bombardments
have taken place in the ,Austro-Italian
theatre.
Despite the loss Of two Zeppelins in
an air raid on eastern England Satur-
day night. the Germans Monday night
again returned to the attack with air
ships and dropped bombs in the north
ern and newfoundland counties.

WHY Fathers sing
TO THEIR i BABIES
One Of the Little Things
That Nature Attends
to- For Us.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 12.-why the
father, whose voice, II he ever had
any, had SO long since'b been relegated
byfitsl owner to the scrap heap. can
and must sing to his baby, was among
the highly interesting phenomena Of
family life explained by DR.. Earl
Barnes, psychologist of Philadelphia,
at the Cincinnati Woman's Club this
afternoon.
ct is in renewing the interests,
which their parents would otherwise
lose completely, that children per-
form their great educational func-
tion,n declared DIR. Barnes. "A man
may think that he can never again
sing, that he does not want to. But
put the baby In his lap and he will
sing to 1t. He has to. II not the first
time, he will the second. Nature at
tend to these matters for u.s."
! It Is nature. which is responsible e.
the family unit, which DR.. Barnes
clared should consist Of a man NJ
woman who, loved each ott'f
their children.
"This is the biological unit va.
against this society from time to time
puts forward the triangle, one man
and two women, which nature alb
hors,"" declared the speaker.
Men are responsible for the sub
Ititution OF the triangle. In the be-
ginning men were the rovers, women
i the creators. To these primitives
4 women the men always returned, and
I when weary OF roaming they took
! from women their primitative arts, be-
cause they possessed what women
lacked, inventive genius.
We hear constantly Of the enslave-
ment OF women, but It Is not true.
Men did not enslave women, but they
did what amounted to the same thing.
They heaped them with luxury, and
thus rendered them useless and fee
BILE. We find this history repeated
again. and again throughout the ages. .
DR.. Barnes voiced emphatic dissent
from suggestions made by modern
writer's on RELOCATING the care OF
children 70 other mothers. mo
mother has love enough for more than
one or two babies at time" declared
the psychologist. 'In fact, even the
whole OF a mothers love is not enough
for one single baby. 1t needs the love
Of father also. Babies thive on
love as do plants on light. The sta
