Mrs. Rowland did not notice that the
girl neglected to answer the other ques-
ton. She was too much relieved TO
discover that there yas to be no scan

mind. Jack and Ruth had had a lovers
quarrel and Jack had gone off in a
pique. That was why Ruth did not
want to talk about lC. of course. Why
hadn't she thought of that before Ruth
might even know where Jack was, but
she was a strange girl and probably
had determined to keep it to herself.
So perfectly did Mrs. Rowland reas-
sure herself in her own mind as TO what
was wrong that she did not even pro-
rest when Ruth arose from the table
and said something about being needed
downtown. She even said pleasantly.

THE close bonds of friendship uniting
Russia and France have not been

the Russian soldiers and their glorious
actions during the first years of the war.
France, confident of the resurrection and
the future of the Russian armies. ought,
as the other Allies, to respond To the
appeal from the normal parties of the

AMERICAN CAMPAIGN
AIMED TO MASK METZ

North
washington. Sept. %.

-'
Faced by a smashing attack by the
American First Army on The heights Of
the Meuse, determined French pressure
TO the west just beyond the .Algonne
forrest and a simultaneous British thrust
at Cambria, the German armies on the
western front are confronted by a mem
ace that makes II impossible to send
aid to Bulgaria. Realization that her
strongest ally could do nothing may
have had much TO do with the dispatch
OF eace oNertures by Bulgaria. it was
thought.
There is danger enough for the enemy.
American officers said. in the Franco
! American attack, linked up as it is will,
the British drive. As the thrust in the
Champagne develops it appears most
probable TO many observers here that the
direct object sought is to extend the
hattleline directly up the Meuse until
Metz Is masked and the German armies
surrounding IL virtually separated from
The enemy forces in northern France and
Belgium.
The progress made hy General Per
shing's men in their first swift rush
was startling in view OF the difficult
and broken country Through which the
drive Vas made and gave further evil
dence of waning German man-power
and also that German generals again
were outguessed.
As the drive progresses, II is believed
the French front west of the Suippe will
become involved and the operation will
be extended to the more open country
before Rheims. The cutting edge Of the
great attack, however, appears to be the
American advance on the Meuse. 1t
will require, many officers think. only a
comparatively limited further stride for
ward here 10 compel the enemy to under
lake a great withdrawal.
