know if there is anything to do to-

what You think of the matter. He can

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young
man of twenty-four, and recently
have been corresponding with a girl
of only seventeen, tho in actions and
judgment she is as mature as an in
telligent lady of twenty-five. She fin
ishes high school this year and in

of the next term.
We are very much devoted to each
other, and, a1tho apparently her par
ents wou11 not object to my going to

thought that she was too young and

There are many indications, that the
tide of war has turned and now is dis
tinctly favorable to the allies. The ex-
pected renewal of the German drive
continues to be delayed, as does the
Austrian advance on the Italian front
Every day of delay brings added
strength to the allies position and
man power and weakens the chances
of the Huns for winning even tenn
pouary advantage. The most that
could happen to the disadvantage of
Germany's enemies has already taken
place. Her Russian and Balkan con-
quests are becoming more OF a la
bilfty than an asset. Her allies give
promises of soon being reckoned in the
same class. From this time forward
her progress must be in the direction
of ultimate defeat and away from vic
tory. Civilized nations must now be-
ware of German peace overtures.
which are certain soon to come in one
form or another. In the peace finally
adopted the Huns must be permitted
to have no word except that of con-
sent to whatever terms the victors may
lay down. Germany is entitled to no
consideration from anybody in the
world and any show of mercy to her
will make the future unsafe for civil
fzation.

TURN OF THE TIDE.

IL There are many indications that the
tide of war has turned against Ger
many. While she is having a free
hand in Russia, she is making no
gains over the allies. The boiling up
of the entrances to her submarine
bases must soon put on end to her sea
activities, which already had become.
in great measure, abortive
s The German attack on the western
front, which began on March 21, has
continued with slight relaxations of
INTENSITY ever since. More men have
been in action than at any other time
of the war. and the casualties upon
both sides have been very large There
is every reason to believe that they
have been heavir to the attacking
sforcs than to those on the defensive.
since altho the latter have lost ground
they have not been demoralized, but
have retired in orderly manner.
Such wastage as the German armies
are now suffering must saten the end
sof the war, for it cannot be made good
or kept up for an indefinite period.
Internationally, the German war
council set out to smash the allied
line before the United States troops
arrive in force, and every possible re-
source is being used. This is the cri-
sis of the war. for while Germany is
sacrificing her divisions the allies are
growing stronger.
If Germany can not win now how
can she hope to do so later, with few
zer men and with an American army
of 100000 or 100000 men added
to the armies of the allies. and the
steel-making capacity of this country
which alone is twice that of Germany
devoted almost wholly to war ma
terials?
. 1t seems impossible that an awak-
nening of the German people and the
German soldiers to the fact that nc
important success is possible can be
long delayed. When such awakening
comes the end can not be far away.
