This One Achievement Worth the

Washington, Aug. 9.-The driving of
the Germans out of sbelling distance Of
Amiens alive was great benefit derived
from Foch's new drive, says military
expert, who continues.
As if in answer to the question which
has been oft repeated of late, "Why do
not the British attack the British
struck the German lines yesterday be-
tween Albert on the Ancrc and Breaches
on the Avrc in one of the heaviest al
lied attacks since the battle of the Sommc.
'In this attack both the British and
the French furnished an army, the

number of men engaged was about 200,-

there are from two 10 three army corps
to an army which is usual

Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties of so-called pearls there are at times small dark gray or blackish pearls, which are more or less tlattened and lack the jet black luster and perfect shape of the so-called black pearls. These are true pearls, probably secured from pin na shell, and possess some small value. They may be easily distinguished from the false pearls by their color and shape. Very small round pearls of q golden luster are secured from small avicula that has beautiful golden luster on the inside. The avicula shell is usually less than six centimeters in diameter, and have never seen pearl produced by this shell that was larger than No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly round yellow pearls offered for sale are usually frauds.
