Headquarters of the French Army
on the French Front, April lS.-Not
only did the French army get astride
and partly around the so-called Hin
denburg line yesterday but in so do
ing they captured many thousands of
German prisoners. After one of the
most intensive artillery lombard
ments of the war, the French ad-
vanced along another 25-mile front.
Shells were poured into the German
positions and from north of scissors
to just west of Rheims the French in
fantry started the work for which they
had been patiently waiting The total
German losses were estimated at l00,-
600 killed, wounded and captured.
The Germans opposed the advance
with their utmost power, bringing into
play thousands of cannon and ma
chine guns, which had been emplaced
in the most advantageous positions.
Nothing, however. could withstand
the gallantry and skill of the French
sight of the desolation through which
they passed.
There was no hesitation among the
French soldiers when the order to ad-
vance was given, but they did not
throw their lives away There was no
hurry; every movement was executed
rs il on parade.
Advantage was taken of every inch
Of cover, and thus the infantry were
able to approach up the sloping
ground until within striking distance
of the numerous entrances to the tun-
nels; then they encircled the whole
plateau and left sufficient men around
to prevent the garrison's retreat or its
communication with the main body OF
Germans. Its fate was then sealed.
Meanwhile the bulk of the French
troops continued their advance both
here and on other parts of the line.
Everywhere behind the advancing
French, groups of German prisoners
were to be seen on their way to cap
tivity. Before evening more than TO-
600 had been counted and others were
arriving. Some of the prisoners told
of exceedingly severe losses. their
companies being reduced in several
cases from $50 to eighty men or there.
abouts All seemed pleased over their
capture, some Of them saying that
there would be many assertions eX-
cept for the constant vigilance of
their superiors, as most OF them were
tired of the war.

A German Born American
Speaks of Germany

Every once in a while some distinguish
ed citizen of German ancestry. but nat
uralized as an American, speaks in burn
ing words that should be dinned into the
ears Of all, native-born or naturalized.
Professor Max +. Meyer of the Univer-
sity of Missouri. recently the recipient Of
an invitation to join one OF the organi-
cations with high-sounding names whose
real object is to paralyze the fighting arm
of the American government, in replying
that the invitation was an Insult, said:

Professor Meyer cites these things TO
show that he knows Germany not from
the outside, but from the inside, as
land in which the military class is the
governing class. Stating these facts,
Professor Meyer then utters this solemn
warning to disloyalists in this country
"1f Germany wins this war. 80 years
hence its government will rule the Amer

lean children to be put under this yoke

My hope is that the German government

peace and justice.
"But the German government, this
fearful danger to our future, can be
overthrow only by raising armies, not
by sitting around your council tables and
working for the repeal OF CONSUMPTION

Brothers in Blood

A wonderful and pleasing sight was

Hohenzollerns, emperor Of Germany, and

There was no reason why they should
not be as thick as thieves. Tho one is a
European and, supposedly. a Christian
and the other an Oriental and a Moham-

in blood.

The Morality of Beauty
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

In its very core and heart morality is
beauty. And goodness is not goodness
unless it be deep JOY
This is the haunting truth hat per
SiStS back of the souls Of men. The
profound creed OF the instincts that can
never be quite disproved by subtleties Of
logic and expediences Of theology is that
somewhere, somehow. all lovelineSS must
be righteousness and all justice must be
gladness.
We see in our mother, nature, not only
memorable law, the eXactness Of mathe-
MATES and the inevitableness of chemical
reactions and physical forces, but also
an imperishable. universal beauty
We are never going to arrive at a
morality that is not offensive. that does
not bit repel honest and fortnight
minds, until we discover the deep unity
OF pleasure and purity on the me hand,
and of pain and dirt on the other.
Love is the fulfilling of the law, be-
cause love is the highest functioning of
the spirit -AatAingl 1N.aA2n IS SO
sweet and appealing and never was there
a human creature from the king on his
throne 20 the criminal in his cell, that
did not crave it. And love is the inner
fact of which the outer counterpart is
beauty. :.
Some day or other society will decree
that all unlovelness must cease, all ugli-
ness must be destroyed The only reason
We dwell in ugly houses and uncomey
cities. endure ash heaps and Sums,

first thing they would DO would be to

and build both dwellings and Office build
