Another of the periods of compare
tive calm that have always followed
the attainment by the British troops
of their immediate detectives, has
fallen over the entire fighting front
between Arras and Queant. Here
the British now are resting, unham-
pered by the Germans except by ar
tillery fire on various sectors, consol-
idating their gains and making ready
for another plunge toward the Dro-
ourt-Queant switchline. AS they rest,
the British are secure on the possess
ion Of all Of the famous Hindenburg
line, except about 1000 yards of it
directly west OF Bullecourt, where
another heavy battle must be fought
before the enemy can be dislodged
and sent eastward.

EatInq With Finqers.

In ancient times among Orientals, as
is largely the custom in those lands
today, each person handled his food
with his fingers. Each person broke
of small piece Of bread, dipped 1t In
the dish and then conveyed 1t to his
mouth with a small piece of the meat
or other contents of the dish. To pick
out delicate morsel and hand 1t to a
friend or guest, perhaps to clap 1t
into his mouth, is today in Afghanis-
tan, In Persia. and In some other coun-
tries. esteemed a compliment, and to
refuse such IN offering is contrary to
good manners.

GREAT MusIeIans Loved silence.

Among musicians taciturnity has al
ways been prevalent, both Beethoven
and Mozart being renowned among
their friends for their long periods OF
silent thought and their dislike to tn
chatter" Of general conversation.
Even Chopin, whose music would lead
one to suppose him fond Of people,
was said to 'love silence even better
than music" while Wagner, except
when discussing musical matters, was
silent even to the point Of actual rude
ness.

WEST CHESTER HOTELS
ADMON1SH PATRONS
Placards Forbid Them to "Stand
Around" as Licenses Are
Placed Under Fire

WEST CHESTER, Pa. March 19.--Above
every hotel bar in this place today this
advice appears in big black letters:
After being served persons will please
pass OUT no standing around permitted
Remonstrance court opened this fore
noon and fifteen of the forty-one applica-
tions for license in the county are under
fire. Just what the no-license leaders have
in store for the hotelmen is not divulged,
but from the actions of some of the pro-
prietors they are worried 1t is probable
that much new fire will be opened upon
them, which was not used at the recent
hearings against the Coatesville and Down.
ingtown hotels, all of which lost their
licenses by revocation proceedings.
1t is said a renewal of work on the part
OF detectives for the no-license forces may
develop some things not yet revealed. 1t
Is known that their operatives have been
active in gathering evidence against all
hotels, even those against which there are
no remonstrances. A sample of this is
furnished by the proceeding against the
Parkesburg Hotel. conducted by r. Parke
Gable. There Is no remonstrance filed
against the place, but revocation Of the
license is asked because of alleged viola
tions occurring since the Coatesville and
Downingtown bars were closed.
