SAVE THE BAGS.

The Food Administration empha-

save bags Of all kinds. burlap, rope,

patriotic service in which all may
JOIN. Military demands for these prod

which combined with shipping diff

ROMANCE IN RUsKIN's LIFE
Divergent Religious Views fer Long
Time Separated Him From tho
Woman He Loved.

In 1865 RusIxin declared his love for
Rosie La Touche and told her parents
OF his hope to make her his wife, says
j. Howard Whitehouse in Scribner's.
There was 9 great difference of years
between them. RusixIn was forty-sev-
en-; Rosie was in her eighteenth year
There was some natural hesitation on
the part OF the parents. and II was ar
ranged that the matter should.be post
poned for three years.
But when the period Of PROBATE
was ended new difficulties arose.
There was hesitation not only on the
part OF the parents, but also by Rosie.
Miss La Touche WINS OF q deeply re
lIgious nature. but her views were or
thodox and she did not share the wider
views on spiritual questions in which
Ruslrtn increasingly believed.
Her love for him had never wav-
cred since the days OF her childhood;
but she doubted IL, holding the views
she did, she could marry him. Both
she and Ruskin suffered the deepest
distress.
For a little time there was es-
arrangement. and there Is a moving en-
try in Ruslzin's diary In the year 1870:
'sLast Friday about twelve o'clock at
noon my mistress passed me and
would not speak, In the following
| year there was reconciliation.
The end Of Rnskin's dream came in
1876. Miss La Touches health never
strong. began to fall, and she died In
May Of that year.

TURNS TABLES ON THE
GERMAN HOSTS.
Wrests the Initiative In Operations
from the Huns and obllues Them
to Order Retreat or Suffer
Terrible Losses.

Paris.-The situation since the bat
tie of the Avre shows a change, which,
for rapIdlty and extent, has rarely
been approached In military history.
Marshal Foch's strategy and the mas
terly tactics have In three weeks
wrested from the Germans what re-
quired four months for them to obtain
ut a cost variously estimated at from
100000 to 100000 men.
The Immediate results of the coun-
ter-offensives which will have the
greatest bearing on subsequent opera
lions are the clearing OF the Chateau
Thierry pocket, ending the menace to
Epernay and Paris; the liberation OF
Montdldier, ending the menace to
Amiens; the freeing of the important
eastern railroad line from Paris 10
Chalons and the equally important
northern line from Paris to Amiens,
restoring to the allies means of COM
munication which give them enormous
Iy greater ease In future movements
of troops.
These successes render impossible
any rupture Of the line which would
separate the French armies Of the CEN
ter from those to the east, or rup-
fure of the junction between the
French and British. The most disas-
trous consequence to the Germans,
aside from the heavy losses they sus-
tanned In men and material, is the col
lapse OF their plan to drive wedges
into the allied lines and the snbse-
quent widening and joining which
would have threatened general dIsloca-
ton,
Initiative Wrested Away.
Marshal Foch'g strategy In reducing

as the Somme, or to engage reserves.
The enemy adopted the second alterna-
tive which, having failed, makes
eventual retirement immensely more
difficult.
( The first phase OF the battle Of the
Avre finds the French with footing
upon Thiescourt plateau, west Of No
