 As general principle of action it is sound to advocate improvement but insane advise others to do without the improvements they have, before the exists.
 In the field of material things almost nobody has any diff cuy in following this rule. In the of social change which is almost equally mechanical it is for those who advocate simple improvement to seek to halt the whole course of life until their change arrives.

THE KAISER'S SPEECH

TT HE SPEECH of the Kaiser to the workers of krupps is Il human than any utterance previously reported from him. and longer than any previous statement of his that has reached America.
 The speech is not from that bombas which usually weakens the imperial uerances, but it has distinctly less of the r1aty of paronzng superiority not much of the style of E. almighty to black beetle.
 The Kaiser abandOns hope of German victory He knows he is whipped But he wants peace without being willing to pay the price of peace This is plain enough.
 Facts peek through that the Kaiser would not wish to come within reach of Allied With intense earnestness he i'm pore the workers in krupp not to heed not to in dulge in gossip of the

London, Sept. 1.-The battle in Lorraine entered into its second phase yesterday, and thus began an entirely new chapter of the whole war. The great German fortress of Metz has been under continuous long range shelling all day.
 The American right wing swung forward four miles, capturing two inn portant villages, Villecy and Norroy, thus strengthening out the front fac ing the German Lorraine border. The Germans have withdrawn to their third line, northwest of St. N1ihiel, known as the "Kriemhild' sector of the Hindenburg line, be- tween Etain and Paguy-sur-Moselle.
 A single American division cap tured 72 guns out of an artillery park of 90, near Jaulny. The same division took 150 gas projectiles.
 The Forest -du-Petro (Priests s Wood,) which was the scene of such sanguinary fighting between the French and Germans in 1915, is firm ly in the possession of American troops. They are approaching Hill 327, which overlooks the Moselle as far as Pagny. Pershing's men are also close to Vandieres Con the Mo- selle, half way between Pont-aMous- son and Pagny.)
 A captured German army order in- sists upon extreme vigilance in the Moselle sector and upon the selection of the very best troops as sentinels on that front, owing to the violent and successful American surprise operations" The German order for bids the use of natives of Alsace-Lor- raine in this sector.
 American machines have been suc- cessfully bombing the roads and bridges between Corny and Arnaville Hits have been scored on trains al Longuyon.
 American planes shot down five German machines. French aviator. brought down one German plane anG three balloons.
 On the Vosges front the German. are nervously smelling the American army's back areas behind the St. Die railroad. For the first time in year they are using big calibre guns on thi front.
 The observer of German two scatter shot down near St. Die carried instructions to photograph American back areas. The Vosges front in Al sace is 65 miles from the Lorrain front.
