diction
The Red Cross will offer assistance

VICTORY CERTAIN
PREDICTS MALvY,
FRENCH MINISTER
Says Every Citizen of the
Nation Is Back Of
Troops.

Paris, Aug. Louis J. Malvy, the
French Minister of Interior, replied
yesterday to the request of the Asso-
ciated Press for a statement outlln-
ing his views on the end of the third
year of the world war. The Minister
began by emphasizing the fact, which
he said sometimes bad not been suf-
f1ciently realized, that it was the
unanimous and concerted effort OF
every citizen which allows our regi-
ments to keep crushing the barbar-
Gus assaults on the moving frontier of
trenches
THE length of the war and the
enemy'S inauguration of submarine
piracy placed US last winter face to
face with fresh difficulties. Economi-
cally, as in every other way, France
has inf1exib1y and imperturbably con-
fronted each, and has already begun
to conquer. She has poured forth
her blood too freely to begrudge her
gold or endurance. With firm en-
durance she is accepting a regime OF
restrictions. After some inevitable
tentative efforts she will regulate be-
tween now and the beginning. of win
ter the food supply and heating.
'eNo less firmly has the world OF
WOIh applied the Only pOSSlO1e ISIii-
edy to the increased cost of living
namely "a proportionate increase in
wages. The strikes which were wit
messed last spring, have evolved in q
perfect calm. They constitute moth
ing more than one of those phenon-
ena of compensatory movements
whereby our social body seeks te
adapt itself to new conditions. They
were less numerous in France thar
in any other country. They arose il
calm and ended in q. closer, more
trusting unity between the employ
ers and employees.
"By the end of the three year.
France has endured every affection
suffering and glory. Without violencs
or shock, but not at times withou
discussion (for discussion is the yer.
essence of liberty and democratic
regime) she has maintained within
her land order and discipline-ac
cepted, not forced, discipline-ant
she will conquer. She is as united
as she was on August 2, 1914. Bet
ter still, she is unanimous, that is
forms but one soul for work as fol
combat.
THE country, then, is ready to en-
ter upon the fourth winter of the wa.
in the best condition of physical ant
moral health. 1t knows that, thank
to- American aid next spring, it will
apply at once all it's endurance ant

William, in speaking to
a deputation of German troops on the
Courland front, thanked them for
holding their own against superior
Russian forces, which made possible
the victorious Austro-German push in
southeastern Galicia. and concluded
with these words:
''Thus the old German persever-
ance, tenacity, iron courage and firm
will formed a barrier on which the
Russian advance was broken. It was
of importance to our operations in
the south.
eIt is our father1and, the beautiful
country of Germany, that we are de-

the bravery and excellent bearing you
have shown. We are accustomed in

living is felt less by the laborer than
by people working on a fixed salary
in the services of the state or cities.
These public employees have not made

come to a crisis for the civil service;
young well fitted men resign their

HORSES POINT OF
VIEW IN SUMMER,

If a horse could tall: he would have
many things to say when summer
comes.
He would tell his driver that he
feels the heat on very warm day
quite as much as If he could read a
thermometer.
He would say,-"Give me a little
water many times a day, when the
heat is intense, but not much at a
time if I am warm; if you want me
to keep well don't water me too soon
after I have eaten"
He would say,-'When the sun Is
hot and I am working let me breathe
once in a while in the shade of some
house or tree; If you have to leave
me on the street leave me in the
shade il possible. Anything III on
my head, between my ears, to keep
off the sun is bad for me If the air
cannot circulate freely underneath

when standing still in fly season, and
the boon to him of screens in the sta
BILE to keep out the insects that bite
and sting.
He would plead for as cool and
comfortable. a stable as possible in
which to rest at night after a days
work under the hot sun.
He would suggest that living
through a warm night in a narrow
stall neither properly cleaned nor bed
ded is suffering for him and poor
economy for the owner.
He would say that turning the hose
on him il altogether too risky a thing
to do unless you are looking for a
sick horse. Spraying the legs and
feet when he is not too warm on a
hot day he would find agreeable.
He would say,-"Please sponge out
my eyes and nose and dock when I
come in tired and dusty at night, and
also sponge me with clean cool water
under the collar and saddle of the
harness"
