compass was known in a crude way
to the Chinese and it was used by them
for purposes of navigation as early as
the third century of the Christian era.
But the policy of the rulers and the
habits and character of the people con-
spired to render the Chinese Indifferent
sailors. and the compass did not be-
come of the great Importance to them
that it did to the seafaring nations of
Europe.

The great novelist or the great COM
poser can afford a telephoneless hut

quiet to think Plain Americans must
have the telephone at their elbow day

cially as well as commercially. The
joyousness with which Americans
have welcomed the telephone to their
ears and lips no doubt flows in part at
least from our national distaste for
privacy. We don't pull down our

chanoed Dresses Chance Lovers

Dorothy and Elsie We're virtually
twins, not only in appearance but in
taste. Each had a dress the other one
liked, and they decided to trade. 1t
happened that Dorothy and Elsie had
previously met two young men, and
being only slightly acquainted with
the girls, they judged each girl by the
dress she wore, with the natural result
that they traded girls. Time passed.
The inevitable happened. AS their
wedding day approached they were
still unaware of the mistaken identity.

FRENCH BEAT OFF FOE
BY associated rress

After five days of extraordinary
hard fighting between the Canadians
and the Germans, the little village
OF Fresnoy, lying southeast of Lens,
and the adjacent wood are again in
German hands.
In the retaking of these positions,
where the Canadians had stood for
DAYS holding the most advanced sa-
hent in the British line projecting
toward Dourai. the Germans evident
~ paid a terrible price. Preceded
by heavy artillery fire, In which
asphyXiating gas shells also were
used in large numbers, the counter
attack was launched in the early
morning.
Lost and Rccapturcd.
The machine gun and rifle fire Of
the defenders met the Germans as
they threw themselves forward, but
they would not be denied and finally
penetrated the trenches northeast of
the village and even entered the out
skirts of the village itself Their
tenure of the position, however, was
short lived, for the Canadians soon
afterward returned to the fray, drove
ont the Germans and again held full
sway.
Reforming later and reinforced by
two fresh divisions. the Germans
again made a bid for victory along
the entire front before the village
and wood.
British Left Wing Fails.
The right wing of the defenders
held steadfastly and inflicted heavy
losses on the Germans. The left wing,
however, Notwithstanding its stub
born resistance was compelled to
give ground and to evacuate the viii
lage and wood, leaving them in the
hands of the Germans. Berlin re-
ports that two hundred prisoners and
six machine guns fell into the hands
of the Germans.
