The Battle of YpFes
(From the New York Tribune).

The new British victory near Ypres
IS the Allied answer TO Field Marshal
Hindenburg's recent boastings. The
German commander IN chief assured
the Kaiser and the German people
that the enemy's offensive on the
West front had been brought TO a
standstin. In that he was self-de.
ceived The German high command
has probably moderated the .possi.
bilities OF the FrancO.Britlsh often.
sive In 1917 II has measured what
might be accomplished by such an
offensive IN terms OF what was ac-
complished last summer in the Battle
OF the Somme.
The great Allied effort OF last year
was checked. II made no fatal
breaches In the German line. although
its serious sfter-effects were seen this
spring in the withdrawal OF the Ger
man armies from the Noyon salient.
That withdrawal effected with great
skill by Hindenburg, was hailed in
Germany as the equivalent OF q vic
tory. Il was advertised as upsetting
Allied plans for n spring offensive
and thus postponing for months the
renewal Of the driving tactics on
which the Allies must depend TO force
the German armies out Of France.
But Hindenburg's retreat failed to
do what It was intended to do. II did
not postpone the Allied offensive Of
1917 Hardly the Germans estab-
lished themselves in their straight
ened line. when the British and
French attacked simultaneously. the
British at the northern junction Of
the new and old lines, from the direc-
tlon OF Arras, and the French at the
southern junction, from the direction
Of SCISSORS and Rheims. Those two
offensives were moderately success
ful-successful as local operations, in
numbers OF prisoners were captured,

Taste and Temperature.

The sense of taste resides in little fiask-shaped pockets imbedded in the skin of the surface of the tongue an6 in the upper part of the throat. Eacl of these bulbs has fibril of nerve connecting it with the larger nerves o1 its region. Anything to be tasted must be in dissolved or gaseous condition and differences in taste depend upor the varying intensity with which the impression is transmitted through the nerves. It is not surprising, then, thai taste is much influenced by tempera. ture and may temporarily be stopped altogether by extreme heat or cold The sense of taste is, it appears strongest at temperature between q and 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

GOOD HABITS FIRST
Most important Requirement for
 Mate, Say Students.
Women Are lnsistent Also on lntei- iectuaI Ability While Men Demand Physical Beauty as lmpor-
 tant Requisite.

What are your requirements of the person whom you would marry?
 That question was asked of the stu dents in connection with the discussion on convention" by Prof. L. L. Bernard, in his sociology class in the University of Missouri, says the Kansas City Star. Sixty-eight students, Al women and 27 men, placed on the professors desk anonymous statements in answer to the question.
 The tabulated opinions show the women consider good moral habits as the prime requisite. Nineteen women make it the first requirement., six the second requirement, eight the third re- quirement, six the fourth requirement., one the fifth requirement. and one does not mention it, evidently considering it of no importance.
 Good social position is considered most important by seven women, while the average place this requirement in fourth place.
 importance by five women, while seven teen hold 1t to be of secondary and ten of tertiary importance.
 COngeniality and good treatment is placed among the first four requisites by 31 women, three of whom make it the first requirement..
 One signifies her willingness to abide with a middle-aged man, while 13 place youth as fifth in importance. One insists that good looks is the first essential in a husband, while the majority seem willing to waive this quality after putting in requests for a good income, congeniality and good social position.
 Just as the women require good moral habits as the prime essentials so the men insist on good character and 20 demand it as the first require ment.
 While the women are more insistent for intellectual ability, the men base their faith on physical beauty. Five men make it first requirement., 15 make 1t second requirement, while no one places it below the fourth place. All except five of the men express an opinion on eongeniality but they do not hold it as a high requirement. and in- dicate their trust in character, youth and beauty to include that quality. The men are generally interested in the training for home making. making this requirement. average fourth in i'm pOrtance. The men are decidedly in. tereSted in good heredity while the women make no mention of it.
 Two women and two men desire their mates to be religious. One man yearns for mutual infatuation and places it as third requirement in h.s scheme of things for marital bliss. One woman longs for sympathy and assigns it in fifth place. One man insists on sincerity and common sense while an- other requires musical talent in his wife-to-be and third demands his wife must be economical.
