The Germans have tried at several
points along the front held by the
French to pierce the line. but every
where have been repulsed. notably in
the st. Mihiel and Luneville sectors,
where recently American troops were
stationed. Whether the Americans
again came into combat with the, en-
etny was not vouchsafed by the
French official communication.
The big guns of the French and the
Germans have been carrying out
mighty reciprocal bombardments all
along the entire front over that oi

the Germans are not prepared for tAs
present to resume the offensive which
has cost them so dearly in the men
killed, wounded or made prisoners.
Reports coming by way of London
are that in Germany there is much
perturbation over the inability Of the
Teutons to pierce the allied lines
and nervous depression over the cnor-
nous losses the Germans have suf-
fered.

"Our losses have been enormous.
The offensive in the west has arrived
at a deadlock. The enemy is much
stronger than the supreme command
assumed. We are unable to continue
the offensive owing to lack of horses.
The region before Ypres is great
lake, and therefore impossible. The
whole country between our Amfens
front and Paris is mined and will be
blown up.'

Harmful Loss of Temper.

Although unbridled rage is helpful in
light among the lower animals, need
less to say it is the reverse of service
able in the deliberate fighting of man
against man, as in boxing and fencing,
for here anger interferes with those
cautious methods of attack and de-
Tense which are essential to success.
To lose ones temper in fighting of this
kind may be to lose the fight. With
this reservation it is curious to note
the close kinship between the COM
Blatant instinct of man and of the low
er animals The untamed man, when
enraged, assumes in very truth the as
pect of the tiger; he puts himself in
a threatening attitude, frowns, glares,
rolls his eyes, grinds his teeth, snarls,
growls, even roars-thus instinctively
seeking to strike terror into his op
ponent.

ALIVE TO HIS SHORTCOMINGS
Tolstoy Harsh Critic of Even Petty
FaiIings, as Has Been Revealed
in His Diary.

Count Leo Tolstoy in his youth laid
down a large number of rules for his
own guidance says Every Week. The
first one was this: Fulfill everything
which you have set yourself" And
the second was: Regard feminine So
ciety as an inevitable evil of social life,
and, in so far as you can, avoid it,"
His failure to heed his own warnings
filled the pages Of his diary with a
gloomy record of shortcomings:
March 9th Yesterday it was late
before I opened my eyes, but eventual
ly got the better of myself. Then /
wrote (hurriedly and without refiec-
tion) letter to Nikolinka, and also
one, in the stupid form which l have
now adopted, to the office (self-delus-
ion). My gymnastics l did carelessly.
and with too little balancing of myself
against my strength. This failing I
shall term in general presumption. At
gymnastics l showed off (boastfulness).
Also | tried to impart to Kobylin my
candid opinion of myself (petty van
ity); | went to Volkonsky's without

Best Known Hunting DOGS.

Two distinct breeds of hunting dogs
in ancient times were the greyhound
and the bloodhound, and their origin
is lost in the misty ages of the long
ago. Tablets unearthed at Nineveh
show by pictures that both dogs were
common in that ancient day. The
bloodhound was first selected on ac-
count of his good nose in seeming

became the thinner Of olden days, that
is, the bloodhound led in leash or
line to track the quarry to it's lair
or harbor. He was used only to locate
the game and was never off the lead
while the greyhound's mission was to
race at the game and pin it by the
nose.

was accused of being a Stacker and
was passed to another officer, who de-
livered a lecture on the Importance of
doing ones duty, etc. The young man
couldn't interrupt and had to listen to
a long talk designed to strike terror to
his soul. He got chance to. explain
