PARIS. Aug. 5.-For the first time
since the beginning OF the war the
Socialists have refused TO vote conf
dence in the Government; slxty-one voted
nc and thirty of them abstained from
voting.
This is not altogether to be regretted,
for the differences between the Socialists
and the other members OF the Chamber
are frankly recognized. The French So
cialists are acting largely under the
influence of the events in Russia and
have allowed themselves to be pushed
into a situation which from the point
OF view Of practical politics Is unten-
able.
Technically the Socialist party repre-
sents a sixth of the population of
France in reality. many of it's members
were elected on a second ballot; that IL.
as compromise candidates. This was due
to the extraordinarily bad feeling which
was aroused between Catholic candidates
who were unsuccessful on the first bal
lots in the last general elections.
Nevertheless. the Socialists have been
acting as II they alone are the true IN
terpreters Of national feeling, and as an
outcome of the controversy over their
attendance at the Stockholm conference
they have accepted the notion that they
speak for France.
This claim is combated by the Gov
eminent and the elements which repre-
sent that part of the country upon which
the majority is based. Yesterdays vote,
majority OF 331. showed clearly the
nature of the division. 1t was not SO
much vote of confidence as a vote
against the whole policy of the Stock
holm conference and the deep feeling
for peace brought out there, This at
the present moment would play directly
into the hands OF the enemy.

BRITISH HEADoUARTERs IN FRANCE,
Aug. Sit has been learned from Ger
man prisoners that in the big drive on
the Flanders front last Tuesday every
gun OF certain batteries in the Zonnc .
beke area was destroyed by the British
artillery fire and no food for the German
troops had been delivered at the ad-
vanoed positions for two. and in some
cases, for three days 1t was impossible
in some sectors to man the German
trenches
German artillery officers who were
captured say that the British FIRE was
80 deadly and uninterrupted that they
were compelled to remain in their dug
outs and could make no attempt to serve
their guns for day and a half
The reward for this efficiency was Sc en-
in the extraordinarily light casualties the
British suffered when assembling men
for attack and when the attack took
place.

 T wish somebody would tell Miss Dash that she is getting in wrong with me and the other fellows in the department by insisting on going to lunch with us.'
 You are her chief. Why don't you tell her yourself?' I asked curiously
 Because she'll have hysterics," was the mans blunt reply. T tried it once. Never againv'
 How did it all start?' well one day she did a particularly clever piece of work and couple ot us men invited her out to lunch as a com later, she had birthday and wanted to return the compliment by entertaining us at lunch. Of course, we couldn't accept that sort of thing. so we gave her a birthday lunch. From that day on, there was always some excuse for her to drop a hint that she would like to lunch with us. She always offers to pay her check
 but with the full realization that 1t will be paid for her, which, down in her heart she expects. And she Is becoming all sorts of a nuisance"
