us get to thinking that a woman can't

always willing to let man use the

thinks he can do. But woman can
do it. A woman can do anything that
a man can do, and most things bet
ter, but men can't do anything near
what women can do. Now, maybe
you can imagine what women can do
in mechanics, and I know what they
can do. Leaving out big girls, I say
women can do any kind of mechanical
work that's consistent with their

FLANDERS FRONT
WALL Of STEEL
BRITISH AND FRENCH STAND
LIKE ROCK AS FOE STRIKES IN
FURIOUS DESPERATION.
The Very Area Through Which Three
Years Ago the Kaisers Leaions
Rushed Toward Paris Now in
Hands of the Allies.

LOndOn.-August 10 was another
bloody Sabbath on the western front.
In the very area through which near
ly three years ago the kaiser's legions
rushed in their headlong march on
Paris, and where they later halted in
their equally headlOng retreat and
dug in" BritOns and Frenchmen par
ried blow after blow, aimed at dis
lodging them from the previous three
days gains.
On the almost forgotten center of
the SOmme sector. on both sdes of st.
Quentin, the British made important
gains by raiding operations Sunday,
foreshadOwing a resumption of the
big push" on this front They stOrmed
some German trenches around HAY
rincOuFt
Far TO the south, in the Priests
wood, the French launched a success
full attack. The TeutOns made two
vain assaults at widely separated
points. Along the entire front the
German heavy guns roared furiously
and continuously all day The gun
duels on the Verdun front were es-
peciaIly violent.
All along the Flanders front from
the sand dunes around Dixmude
around the crater-dotted, bIoOd-sOaked
fields of both sides of the Ypres, the
troops of the Bavarian crown prince
stOrmed forward in unceasing attacks.
They bit granite everywhere. There
was no shaking the logged British
hold; no denting the tenacious French
wall of flesh and steel.
With losses that mock figuring they
had to cOncede at the end of the day
that the entente gains, including Ian
gemarck, cannot be wrested back.
German alrmen also tried their
hand at slipping through the British
air patrol and bombing In this they
also We're successful but the score
was against them in the end, for the
explosive they loosed fell on a Brit
ish prisoner clearing station. killing
ten Germans and inflicting further
wounds on nine men of their army who
had already met with hard usage at
the hands of the British guns.
There has been a considerable stiff
fleming in the front in ROumania and
also in Russia in the region of Wilma.
South of GrOzechti, southern MOlda-
via, the Russians have made a stand
against attacks of the Teutonic allies
and repulsed them, and in the Slanic
sector also have beaten off the invad-
erS.

MORE MEN FOR FRANCE.
Hundred Thousand Men Month Can

~ . HiiSigOl IChs
WashingtOn.-The war department
is planning to send more than 100000
infantrymen to France. On the basis
of two infantrymen to one artillery
man, the ratio preserved in the organ
izatiOn of the new divisions, this will
mean that at the very least our over
seas forces will number 100000 fight
ing men.
Of the more than a million and
half the United States will soon have
under arms, the remainder will be re-
tanned in the United States as depot
troops from which the vacancies in
the expeditionary forces will be filled.
This statement, the first authorita-
tive indication of the actual number
of fighters to go abroad, was con-
tanned quite incidentally in a bulle-
tin from the committee on public in
formation.
Officials have hitherto maintained
strict silence on the matter and no
further information as to the time or
order of the moving of troops has
been permitted to be published

TEUToN DEFENSE WEAKENING.
Germans Making Radical Changes in
Their Methods in France and Belgium.

itCll NlCNllOAS III GilSG anu DEl9luUls
LOndon.-The beginning of the
fourth year of the war finds the Ger
mans rapidly making a radical change
n their methods of defense along the
British battle front in northern
France and Belgium. The continuous
lines of wonderfully constructed for
ward trenches with their deep dug
outs, in which lived and fought great
numbers of men, are fast passing into
the discard.
The enemy is adopting the system
Of scattering his advance forces over
a great depth. Cunningly constructed
strOnghOldS among the shell-holes now
conceal innumerable small and more
Or less isolated garrisons of men who
formerly fought shoulder to shoulder
along great stretches of picturesque
land, through which communication
was not broken for miles.
This alteration has been brought
about by the ever-grOWing prepOnder-
ance of British artillery which has
buried the German front line trench
es under an avalanche of shells and
has left the defenses nothing but
heaped burrows of earth and has made
the famous dugOuts veritable man
traps in which countless thousands
have lost their lives without a chance
of fighting back.
The continuous deluge Of breaking
steel made repair work on the trench
es impossible and as the Germans
were gradually pushed back they, OF
necessity, were forced to invent an
other mode of stemming the ever-ad-
vancing tide.

Whence Khaki Came.

1t appears that khaki has been in
use in the British army for more than
forty years. 1t was in use at the time
of the Jowalki expedition in 1877. All
troops, British and native, engaged in
the Afghanistan war Of lSTS-1SSO wore
khaki. Even the shoes were tan-col-
cred leather, sword belts and saber
scabbards were tan-colored leather,
helmets were covered with khaki COW
ers and pugrees. Buttons and buckles
were not polished. Khaki is Il Hin
dustani word meaning crusty, earthly.
