Efforts to break into the
new ground won by the
British in the renewal of
the Flanders offensive on
Wednesday, are being con-
tinued by the Germans.
Failing to shake the British
line elsewhere they tried it
out last night at Zonnobeke
where the British have
pushed far along the road
to Roulers. The attack,
however, was broken up.
The present position Of the British
in Zonne beke places them within a
half dozen miles of the important

Meeting Lille with Ostend, on the
coast, the cutting OF which or its
domination by even medium range
artillery fire, would seriously handt-

operations.
In the Tower Hamlets and Poly
gon wood regions, the clearing up
process which followed Wednesdays
battle was carried out further last
night and the Germans were driven
from isolated positions to which
strong parties of them were cling
ing.
There has been little other military
activity of a notable nature except
in the ATgonne region. on the French
front. The Germans made an at
tempt last night to break into the
French lines in this sector attacking
three times. These assaults were all
repulsed, the Germans sustaining
heavy losses. says today's PARIS war

How Not to Choose a

Is at hand, we arc told, and indeed we
already have experts galore-scientihc man
agement experts, educational experts, food
experts, and so on. We have with us also
the vocational expert. How to Choose the
Right Vocation" by Holmes w. Merton, is
an example OF the expert idea running Wild.
Il aims to be scientifically up-to-date
guide for the young man seeking to avoid
the unfortunate condition of round peg

the problems of vocational choice and place
ment know that elaborate cataloguing
methods are folly both for employer and
employe actually causing moro mistakes
than they prevent. The students who are
making the most progress in the field are
the ones who are going slow. The present
book assumes TO make easy the choice OF
vocation "by presenting a practical analy-

gesting large number OF interesting men

can find IL told in little book by Stacy
Aumonier London landscape painter, who
has proved that he is an artist In words
well as in pigments. He has told the
story of such men with a calm realism
that makes his types recognizable even in
America, in spite Of the fact that they are
Londoners. THE Friends" describes the
life of n brass bed salesman and a sales
man Of bed springs and the effect of their
conviviality on them and their families.
There is no preaching, he simply shows
what happens and then stops. THE
Packet" the second story in the volume,
has plot a little more complicated than
that Of THE Friends" but it is the same
story with the same kind of men, meeting
n similar end. And "In the Way of Bust
ness" n similar problem is handled in a
similar calm and impartial manner
All three tales show how the curse Of
drink blasts the lives of men and destroys
the happiness Of women The book is n
powerful preachment, powerful because II
does not morallze at all. II shows what
can be done when a literary artist of great
gifts sets himself to a study Of a social
problem II the professional preachers do
not use it as text for sermons they will
miss the opportunity OF their lives.
