HAVE FAILED TO UNDERSTAND
Writer in Atlantic Monthly Criticizes the Ideas Held by Great Men
 Concerning Women.

It seems that the intelligence of man cannot solve the problem of woman,~ which is a bad sign in su- perior intelligence. The trouble lies in this man assumes far too readily that woman essentially differs from man. Hardly man has lived who did not so exaggerate. Nietzsche, Scho- penhauer, agreed to despise wom- en; Napoleon seemed to view them as engines of pleasure; for Shake speare they may we'll have embodied a romantic ideal, qualified by sport i've wantonness. In Walter Scott women appear as romance in cheap edition; Byron in their regard is beast of prey, Doctor Johnson a pompous brute, and a puritanical sensualist. Cervantes mixed in his romantic outlook a sort of suspi- cious hatred, while Alexandre Du- mas thought them born only to lay laurel wreaths and orange blossoms (together with coronets) opon the heads of musketeers. All, all-from Thackeray, who never laid his hand upon a woman save in the way of patronage, to Goethe, to Dante, to Montaigne, to Wellington-al har- bored this curious idea; in one way or another woman differs from man. And today, whether we read Bernard Shaw, George Moore, M. Paul Bour- get or Hall Caine, we find that there still persists a belief in Byron's words: ''What a strange thing il mani And what stranger is wom- an !"-Atlantic Monthly.

REFUSES TO ADMIT DEFEAT
French Commander Applies the PrIn- cipIes of Christian Science to His
 Military Operations.

In ''Behind the Scenes at the Front" MT. George Adam, Paris cor respondent of the London Times, tells a good deal that is interesting about the opinions of General Foch, who for five years lectured on strat- egy and tactics at the Ecole de Guerre. There he used often to quote saying of Joseph de Maistre, which summed up the psychological element in defeat: "A battle lost is battle that you think is lost, for battles are not lost materially"
 To that military summary of the doctrine of Christian Science, Gen. eral Foch added this formula of vic- tory: Battles are, accordingly, lost morally, and 1t is, therefore, morally that battles are gained and a battle won is battle in which you refuse to admit yourself beaten"
 That IS the more convincing since 1t comes from a soldier with scien- tific mind. Moreover, on at least one occasion, when he had been forced three times to retire, he put his faith into practice.
 After each retirement General Foch refused to admit defeat. He and the men under him had the moral strength, in which science plays no part, to refuse to know when they were beaten. On the third day the retirement began early in the morning. In the course of the day General Foch once more took the of- fensive, and by nightfall he had de- llvered the decisive blow on the cen- ter of the German army that led to its final retreat all along the line.- Youths Companion.

VIRGINIA HAS ENOCH ARDEN
After Half Century Man Returns to Find That His Wife Has Another
 Husband.

Wandering over many of the vest ern and New England states for more than fifty years, his departure from this country being due to do- mestic infelicity, his return to his native heath only to find the wife of his youth the legal partner of an- other man, is the experience of George Rivan Sunday, who recently arrived here from Boston.
 Sunday, man now more than seventy-five years of age, makes no effort to absolve himself from being a contributing cause to family mis- understanding, followed by an ap- parently s'unhealable'' rupture, as he now declares, and then his departure. And now his Enoch Arden appear ance in this county after the lapse of half a century has no significance further than his native heath is a good place for rehabilitation and atonement. He says he entertains nothing but the kindliest feelings for his former wife and the man who replaced him in her affections.-Lu- ray (Va.) Dispatch Philadelphia Record.

Doughton Wants Tax of SIS on Dogs

Congressman Doughton is advocat-
ing tax on the dogs of the nation
to produce several hundred million
dollars of taxes besides saving lot
of food consumed by the cannes,
states a Washington dispatch of the
26th. He would tax all dogs SIS each.
He estimates this would result in
half of them being killed, which, in
itself, would prove saving of food
and prevent the killing of sheep.
| He received from the North Caro-
lima Farmers union Thursday reso-
luton to place a war tax on dogs,
which will add needed funds to the
war budget, reduce the number of
!, worthless dogs, conserve the food sup
ply and quickly increase the much
needed supply of meat and clothing
through the encouragement Of the
: sheep industry.
= Mr.. Doughton estimates on a basis
of 100000 dogs that half of them
will save 100000. The tax Of
: SIS on the others will bring in $50,
Z 100000.

ready to vote for Ajo as the best station on the border. We will hate to leave and hope that we will not have to leave until we are required to go to the front.
 The weather is warm here, of course, but we have not felt it worse than at Douglas or Naco, and we have the advant- age of having a good breeze all the time without any dust.
 I neglected to state that the mining company is building 9 very large and handsome hos pital, which is practically con- pleted, which is to take the place of the present hospital. The town has a bank, large furniture store, besides other grocery stores, soft drink par lors, harness shop, tailor shop. bottling works, garage and a Standard Oil Company distrib- uting station.
 In fact, when the hotel now being built, is completed, Ajo will be an excellent little city, prepared to take care of quite a large population.
 I did not mean to write so much, but myself and the en- tire company have fallen in love with Ajo and the people, and we want the folks at home to know how pleasantly sur prised we were when we arriv- ed and how comfortable the boys are.
