STAND ON THEIR NEW LINE

BIG TASK AHEAD OF BRITISH

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE. March . ,via London).-
What may bc termed the iirst stage
of the German retirement plan on the
ArraS- -Sominc sectors seems to have
been about completed. and the Ger
mans are making a definite stand.
Their line runs from F.ssartS. through
Achiet- Petit To about ,0Do yards
southeast Of Bapaume. Along this line
is the I.oupart wood, situated on high
ground. which Is typical German
field fortress. The Germans are not
expected 10 yield this line until further
pressure is brought TO bear against
them.
Meantime. the task Of connecting IN
their new positions and building roads
through the former No Mans Land is
proving in enormous one for the
British, as all the Sommc and Ancrc
area presents an aspect more or less
of liquid mud. resulting from the
weeks thaw The Germans undoubt-
edly timed their retirement to coin
eide with this condition OF terrain. In
other words. the Germans got started
while the ground was I'm good condi-
tion, knowing that the British would
have 10 pursue them when IL was at
its worst.

An Illuminating Postcard.

A young girl of plebeian ancestry
achieved fame MS an actress in Lon
don. Feeling the necessity, however,
of rest from her labors. she wrote to
her uncle, police sergeant Of a coun-
try village, asking him II she might
come and stay with him to recuperate.
She ended her note: "Please send a r.
G. to say if 1 may come"
A few days later her landlady rushed
upstairs with an awestricken coun-
tenance-a policeman wanted heri The
girl descended with an ominous feel
ing at her heart, says London Tit-Bits.
"If you please, MISS" said the stolid
being who confronted her, eyeing her
with stern disapproval, "I'm the p. G..
what you asked your uncle to send.

away as I'm n respectable married

THE AMERICAN VICTORY At SARATOGA

service, fought calamity under Ack-
land, but Gates hurled in more troops
and the action became general. The
Germans in the center could give the
grenadiers no aid, but the British light
infantry and the Twenty-fourth, how
ever, managed by falling back to sup
port the grenadiers. Arnold came
rushing up with three new regiments
and plunged against the British double
line. With the Twenty-fourth and the
light infantry checking the fury of the
onslaught in the center, Burgoyne was
able to retreat to his camp, but he lost
six guns and many men in the process.
Moreover, the Americans delivered
most furious attack against the camp
Itself, Arnold finally forcing his way
into the works, where he fell with q
wound in the same leg which had been
hit Mt Quebec. Brooke also forced the
intrenchments on the right, where
Breyman died in defense of his post.
This gave the Americans an abundance
of supplies as well as turning the Brit
tsh flank and securing command of the
rear.
Burgoyne extricated himself by re-
treat to the heights, where he was
completely hemmed in and where Gates
sat himself down to wait the work of
famine. OF Burgoyne's host there re-
mained but 5000. less than half Of
whom were English, all in pitiful con-
dition and opposed by twice their num-
Der.
At length the 18th Of October having
arrived with no aid in sight-for Bur-
goyne was still unaware of Clinton's
successful Rdvance-the British opened
parley. On the fifteenth the articles
were signed. That very evening mes
senger arrived from Clinton-too late.
On the seventh the entire British army
laid down its arms in surrender.
At once the tide of events was
turned. The British ministry lost its
confidence, the French were decided to
join arms with the Americans, the sue
cess of the Revolution was assured.

WANT TO BE A CARD SHARP?
Here's an Easy Trick to Be Performed
With Four Kings and Two
Jacks.

Select the four kings from the pack,
also two other court cards-preferably
jacks-and spread them fanwise, be-
ing careful not to show the jacks. In
adjusting these cards place the two
jacks back of the first king. AS these
jacks are hidden behind the king they
are invisible to the audience, who
must be satisfied that the cards are
all kings and nothing else. The cards
are then placed on top Of the pack.
State that you are about to distri-
butte the four kings in various parts Of
the pack. Take up the top card, which
is really king, and exhibit 1t, If need
be. The next card, being jack, should
not be shown to the audience, but
should be taken up carefully and
placed anywhere in the pack. The
next card is also a jack. and it is
placed in another part of the pack.
The next card can be taken up care
less and replaced on top. Three kings
will be at the top and one at the bot
tom of the pack.
When the cards are cut the four
kings will be in the center.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer.

Small Breaks In Lace.

Where there are only few threads
broken in Irish or Swiss lace they can
easily be repaired with a needle and
thread the same size as that used In
the manufacture of the lace. Place n
tiny knot at the end of the thread on
the needle and draw this through the
place where the broken thread joins
the body Of the lace. Having done
this, draw n succession of loop knots
over the floating thread very tightly
close to the base. Now follow with
the new thread the course that the old
thread has taken, and do the same
with the other loose end, knotting 1t Sc
curely close to the body lace. Cut
away the loose ends and the break Is
no longer perceptible.

COSTLY CHIMES FOR CADETS
Big Set of Bells Is Being Made for
Chapel at United States Military
Academy at West Point.

What is said to be the most costly
chime of bells in America and one OF
the most musical sets in existence Is
now being made at the foundry Of the
Meneely Bell company of Troy, N. T.,
for the massive tower of Cadet chapel,
Rev. II. P. Silver, chaplain, at the
United States military academy, West
Point, as the gift of Mrs. James M.
Lawton, in memory of her father, the
late Maj. Gen. Robert Anderson, who
was graduated from the academy In
1925, and whose brilliant command OF
Fort Sumner at the outbreak of the
Civil war has thrilled millions Of read
ers of American history, says the
Watchman-EXaminer
There will be u bells in the chime,
the largest weighing nearly two tons
and measuring SO inches at Its mouth.
The cadet chapel is of stone, Quarried
from rock found on the military
grounds and cost to build about half
a million dollars. Its commanding po-
sition on the hill back from the Hud-
son river makes an ideal place for
bells, and the patriotic airs from the
chime will sound throughout the beau
tiful highlands, in the midst of which
the military academy is situated. and
prove n source of inspiration to the fu-
ture generals of the United States
army that will always linger with them
pleasantly.

Treasures Of Tours.

One Of the most interesting medieval
treasures of Tours is the Cathedral Of
Saint Gratin, begun in ITO, but not
completed for nearly four centuries.
Two other famous structures are the
towers of st. Martin and of Charlie
magne. The first commentaries the
deeds of the great apostle Of Gaul, pa
tron saint of France, who aided Clovis
against Alaric and who in return re-
ceived many rare gifts for his Tours
church from the grateful Frankish
leader. The Charlemagne tower Is so
called because 1t marks the burial
place Of that monarch's third wife,
Luitgard.

A successful costume depends more
upon handsome accessories like these,

is lifted into brilllancy by tricks of ele-

OH, RATS

Am article m the last issue of the Ma tional Geographic Magazine by Edward w.. Nelson. chief of the U \. Biological Survey, on "Thc Hat Pest, " iS deserving the attcn- tiou of all persons interested in the wei fare of their country The writer gives figures to prove that ten per cent of all the roodstuT produced in the United States to say nothing of millions of dollars worth of other material, iS annually de- sIrovcd bv rats. In other words, the result of the labor of 100000 Americans iS an- mally eaten by rats.
 The figures given of the number of rats and the amount of property they annually destroy are unbelievable and, in addition to the monetary loss for which they are re- sponsiblc. tEcy are the greatest disease ear ricrs i'm the world. Nmc-tcuths of the dread diseases introduced in seaport towns are carried there by rats in steamships In tt- teen wears following the outbreak of the bu- homie plague i'm China the disease was found ou mo less than l56 different ships and it was introduced into 5l different countries though its distribution by rats ou ships. Also it was proven that hcos from rats transmitted the disease to hu- man beings.
 The article by Dr.. Nelson Is a most m- tcrcstmg one and should be generally read. His suggestions given for riddiug the world of the rat pest should be followed and cs- pcciaIIy at the present time when the needs of the world are such that such waste as the economic output of 100000 men m Am erica can not we'll be spared to feed and otherwise provide for rats.

AMERICA AND THE WAR

There are still many Americans, patri- otic and true, who are ready to argue that the United States should have kept out of the European war. To this element we can only say: You do mot understand why America is in the war OF what she Is fight ing for
 When America rcbclcd against the ty- rany of England something like l4O years ago. she fought for independence and won. Today she is fighting for that same indc- pcudcucc and if she does not fight for 1t ou European soil, where she will have the assistance of her allies, she will fight for it practically ,iuglc-houdcd ou her own soil.
 The eyes of America have been opened within the past three years At the out break of the present war and for some time thereafter. Germany had not shown her hand. Her ambitions and constituencies program were not then known. The war was proclaimed by Germany as one of de- frusc. Her actions have since shown it Co bc war of couQucSt-not only of middle Europe. but of the world. Her plans for the invasion, not only of England, but of America as we'll were all made before she started ou her ruthless invasion of Belgium. Germany was threatening the mdcpndcncc of the United States so nobly achieved in the war of the Revolution, and to defend that independence our pcacc-loving coun- try has been forced to enter the strife.
 It is Co these facts that President Will son refers in his farewell message to the American soldiers about to leave for Flu rope. ''I should like to be with them, he says, 'ou the field and in the trenches, where the real and final battle for ndc- pcndcucc of the United States is to be fought, alongside the other peoples of the world, struggling, like ourselves, to make am end of those things which have threat cucd the integrity of their territory, the lives of their people and the very eharac- ter and independence of their govern mcntS.
 Was ever cause more noble!
Douglas Island news., 1917-09-21

The German general who offered a re- ward of four hundred marks for the first American soldier, dead or alive, should also pay am indemnity on German soldiers who are killed in their attempt to win the reward As the war progresses there IS no doubt that many American soldiers will be taken prisoner or killed on the battlefield, but the casualties won't be all on one side by a long shot
