Talk is scarce during courtship, but
married life brings up the average.
An undertaken is probably so called
because he eventually overtakes the
rsst of mankind.
Woman's nature is mystery that
man has never been able to solve.
Neither has woman.
You never see a married man applaud
a wife who gets the best OF her hus-
band in play.

Temporary Lull
Before Great Storm

Washington, April 2O.-The com
narrative quietness on the western
battle front is regarded here as only
temporary before another great
storm. Both sides are undergoing re.
adjustments. The battle has been SO
severe-so telling on both forces that
a let down at this time was antici-
pated. Reinforcements are being
brought up 70 both British and Ger.
mans to reform some Of their shatter-
ed battallions or to relieve them en-
tirely. The battle is by no means
ended. The British are holding firmly
and viii continue to check the BOehe.
It is felt, although that there are
troubIous days still ahead. American
and British authorities rely absolu-
tely upon General Fochs wisdom.

Largely Due
ToU.S. Boys

With the American Armies in
France, April 2O.-General Pershing
has received letter from General
Rawlinson, commander Of the British
Fifth army, in which the latter de-
clared it was largely due to the assist
ance Of the American Engineers that
the British army was able to check
the Germans at Amiens.
ExcelIent Work.
"The army commander wishes to
record his appreciation" it reads, "of
the excellent work of your regiment
in assisting the British army to resist
the enemy's powerful offensive.
"It was largely due to this that the
enemy was checked. We rely upon
you to assist us still further. Best

DOZEN HUNS POUNCE
ON AMERICAN SOLDIERS
BEHEADING ONE

A ghastly illustration of German
hatred Of American soldiers is given
in Salvation Army letter made pub
Kc in Chicago by Adjt Fletcher Ag-
new. 1t was written in France by
r. G. Starboard, who has charge Of a
Salvation Army hut, to Commander
Eva Booth, who turned it over to Adj
jutant Agnew.
II visited base hospital recently" "
says the letter, "and had this story
from sergeant who had passed
through one Of the raids. The ser
geant was horribly wounded by gre
made and was passed by the Germans
as dead.
Before the sergeant lost con-
seriousness, however, he saw a dozen
Germans overpower three American
boys and cut their throats from ear
to ear. The sergeant said the murder
Of a third American was the most hor-
rible. Four Germans held him while
a fifth fairly severed his head from his
body.
II have just learned" continued
the letter, ''that this same company
ofsAmericans passed through here to-
day with their bayonets sharpened
like razors, sworn to avenge this aw-
full crime against their comrades.
What can you say to men bound on
such an errand except bid them strike
with all their might and harder, be-
cause Of the righteousness Of our
cause and the meanness Of the en-
emy."

U-Boats Are Built
Faster Than Sunk,
Won Capelle Says

Amsterdam, April 2O.-That U.
boat construction is exceeding the los.
ses and that sinkings of British ton
mage is six times as great as produc-
tion, was the claim of Vice Admiral
Won Capelle, German minister of the
navy, in an address before the main
Reichstag committee.
The American destroyers have fail
ed in their object, he said. America
does not want the large mercantile
feet planned on order for war, ut
for after the war commerce, when
america will become England's
worlds freight carrier"
"America's help in men and air
planes and Americas participation in
the war" said Won Capelle, SIS COM
paratively small. If later America
wants to maintain half million
troops in France, she would need a
tonnage of about 100000, which
would have to be withdrawn from the
Allies supply service"
The German navy head summed up
his discussion by declaring that ''it
can be stated that the economic diff
fculties Of our enemy have been in
creased by Americas entrance into
the war
Nothing, he said, has proved how
far the shipping shortage has already
gone more than the robbery Of
Ouch onnage whereby Anglo-saxOn
have incurred the worst kind Of obi
um for decades TO come"

Division to Each
Mile Used by Huns
Against British

Washington, April Reinforced
by French troops the allied line is
holding hard against further incur
siens by the Germans from the region
of La Basse to the north of Ypres.
Everywhere the Germans have
struck the line in an endeavor to
press back the defenders they have
been repulsed with heavy losses and
have been successful nowhere in gain
ing further ground.
Attacks of an extraordinary violent
nature are being thrown by the Ger
mans on the 10-mile front between
Givenchy and Robecq, where an en-
deavor is being made to cross the La
Basse Canal and bend southwark the
salient which now outfanks the inn
portant railroad town Of Bethune. A
division Of troops to each mile is be-
ing used by the Germans on this sec
tor. but the British At last accounts

dividuals, and you will do service in
notifying your friends that any com

ed.
