A Raise In WAGES.

Everybody likes to have his wages
raised. and everybody feels o little
thrill of pride when he is told he is
going TO be paid more for his work.
Did you ever figure it out that you
were being paid wages when you go
to school. and can have them raised
every month II you want TOT Sure.
You study. and that's work. You get
paid for your work In knowledge. Sup
pose this month you bring home a re-
port card which shows you have been
only fair In arithmetic. That's not
bad. But you want your wages raised.
SO you work little harder and next
month the report is good instead OF
fair. You've had salary Increase
That's the only way to look at it,
From the American Boy.

and force them to send out the high
seas fleet so that his land operations
may be a success, according to the

He succeeded in compelling the

under full steam in its Kiel base.
The navy's information tends to in

from the fleet, unless the allied sea
power strikes first.
Hindenburg's theory, according to
the advices, is that even though he
were to take the channel ports by
land, German victory would still
be impossible while Britain's navy
was intact
American naval officers believe
confidently that if the German army

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD. April % (by mAil)-
Doclazattons made By German prison
ers render It quite apparent that II
the allied ARMIES had not checked the
German advance the world would
have witnessed one of the most as
founding compaigns Of pillage the
war has yet produced. So intent
were the Germans on this form Of sat
isfying their lust for conquest and
domination that orders to pi1laEe
were given as soon as they reached
Noyon, despite the fact that the VII
lage had been sacked to the last
monthtsL Of food and the last article
Of value Just year ago. Even the
small amount Of foodstuffs and house
hold furniture which the inhabitants
largely through the help OF v1fious
American charities had been able to
get together since Hindenburgs re-
treat in March, 1917, was not spared.
A typical description On this subject
Of which many have been made by
German prisoners, is the following
one by soldier OF the esventh Ger
man reserve division.
THE moment we had passed st.
Quentin the pillage began he said.
"All of the abandoned houses were
ransacked and entire stocks OF provl-
sions were carried away In many
places old men and women still re
manned and these pleaded that they
not be allowed to die Of starvation.
But the soldiers pushed them back
and carried away the s1iverware,
breaking everything else that could
not be taken away with them. Cloth
ing was torn from the bureaus and
wardrobes and tables and furniture
were smashed, while mirrors and pic
lures were snatched from the walls
and destroyed In the cellars and
wine caves, all the wine that could not
be drunk was poured out ON the
ground.
Captain Deterner, commanding one
of the battalions, gave the order TO
number of soldiers to go to Noyon for
the purpose Of pillaging 1t. They re-
turned with huge amount OF booty.
including thousands OF cigarettes ana
cigars, marmalade, preserves, VINE
chocolate, butter, potatoes, handker'
chiefs, soap and many other things.
.sEach soldier received for his
sbare twenty English cigarettes, 300
to 400 grammes Of soap, three OF four
cans of marmalade for each squad
and three or 'our cans OF condensed
milk. The under officers received
great deal more while the potatoes
