 Esteban stroked her hand softly. "You can't do that, Miss Evans. You have been wonderful to me and can't begin to express my gratitude" No rine stirred, but he retained his grasp of her fingers, gaining courage from the contact to proceed. T have been trying for long time to tell you some thing. Will you listen?" "Not now" she exclaimed, with visible lessening of color. Don't bother to tell me now"
 i've waited too long; l must speak. You have stayed on here just to nurse me. Isn't that true"
 She nodded somewhat doubtfully.
 "Now, then, you must stop thinking about me and-make your arrange ments to go home."
 There was a moment of silence. "Yes. You see, I know how tired you are of this misery, this poverty, this hopeless struggle. You're not Cuban and our cause isn't yours. Expeditions come from the United States every now and then and the government will see that you are put safely aboard the first ship that returns. I'll manage to get well somehow"
 Norines color had returned. She stood over the hammock, looking down mistily. Don't you need me, want me any more?" she inquired.
 Esteban turned his tired eyes away, fearing to betray in them his utter wretchedness. You have done all there is to do. want you to go back into your own world and forget"

HUNS EXPECT INVASION.
German Retirement in West Making
Worst Possible Impression.

London. = The German population
along the Rhine expect an allied inva-

who has just returned to Amsterdam
from small village near Bonn on the
Rhine. In a statement TO the Amster-
dam correspondent of the Daily Ex-
press she said:
1.-THE impression gathered from what
l saw and heard in Germany was one
of real despair. The German retire
ment in the west is making the worst
possible impression.
1.-THE idea that German soil is to re-
main inviolate has disappeared com

ADVANCING ALLIES
HUNS DRIVEN BACK OF POINT
FROM WHICH LUDENDORFF
STARTED DRIVE IN MARCH.
Roye, in Picardy, the Key to NesIer
Captured by French and it is Elk
pected Germans Will Retreat
Across the Somme.

London.-The progress of the Huns
toward Paris is going fine for the
allies In fact the kaisers army is
just now bound for Berlin, and evident
ly going faster every moment.
Each day of the campaign brings
stories of allied successes that are
pleasing reading to the people of the
allied nations.
So great and continued were Tues
days successes of the French and
decide where to begin in telling the
story. Geographically the capture of
Roye in Picardy the key to Nesle, by
the French first army is the principal
result of a day of many triumphs.
From strategic and moral standpoint,
the foremost achievement was the rip
ping of a hole into the old Hindenburg
line by the British north of the Scarpe
Haigs troops at night stood fully
mile and half beyond that line from
which Ludendorff launched his super
drive on March 81
were Overrun by the allies in their vic
torious eastward rush-the French on
a thirteen-mile front between Chaulnes
and LacOurt, the British on thirty
mile line between the northeast of Ar
ras and the Chaulnes region.
Prisoners? Hordes of them. But
there is little time now for counting
captives. Both Haig and Petain con-
tent themselves with reporting "hun-
dreds" here, hundreds there and
"many" in various other sectors.
The critical stage of the whole of

great er-offensive, or whether

Flanders and the Champagne. and re-
tire not to the old Hindenburg line, but
far beyond it to the Meuse in the
south, and to the Franco-Belgian from
tier in the north.
With Roye fell another keypoint
in the stop-gap line, to hold which the
Germans have been struggling with
desperate fury ever since the allied
Picardy drive began. When Won Hut
ers army was in the Montdidier
pocket, Roye mslnt to him what Fere-
had meant to the crown
prince in the Marine funnel. Only two
'Oads run out from ROye, one toward
Ham, thirteen miles east of Roye, and
he other to the Somme through Nesle,
Tx and half miles to the northeast.
Roye is the key to Nesle, the fall of
which would compel the Germans to
etreat across the Somme.

WASTE OF MILLIONS
CHARGED IN REPORT
SENATE COMMITTEE PLACES
THE BLAME FOR DELAYS IN
AIRCRAFT PROGRAM.
Coupled with Criticism is Statement
That Quantity Production Soon
May Be Expected.-Committee
Urges One Man Control.

Washington.-S Structures upon fail
ures, disappointment and delays in the
American aircraft program are coupled
with praise for what now has been
accomplished and statement that
quantity production soon may be ex-
pected In n. long report submitted Aug
ust % by the senate military subcom-
mittee on its aircraft investigation.
While commenting favorably upon re-
organization already effected, the com
mittee strongly urges one-man control,
through the creation of a new depart
ment of aviation headed by a cabinet
member.
Waste of millions of dollars, faulty
executive organization, improper loca-
ton of training fields, employment of
inexperienced inspectors and favorit-
ism to contractors are among the
faults charged to the old organization
by the committee.
The report is impersonal, explaining
that question of individual dishonesty
or official corruption were left for In
vestigation to the department of justice
inquiry directed by Charles f. Hughes.
1t was submitted with the unanimous
Endorsement of the senators who have
conducted the inquiry during the last
few months-Senator Thomas of Colo
RADIO, chairman, and Senators Reed of
Smith of Georgia, New of
Indiana and Frelinghusen of New
Jersey. After approval by the full
committee it was read to the
senate.
In statement later commenting on
he report, Secretary Baker said the
country should be gratified to know that
quantity production of airplanes now
S assured. Senator Thomas put a letter |
nto the records from Howard Il. Cof |
in. former chairman of the aircraft |
production board, disclaiming RESPONSE
,ility for himself and other civilian
members for action of army and navy
,fficers.

MAN-POWER BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
BRINGS WITHIN THE DRAFT ALL
MEN FROM 18 TO 40
YEARS OLD.
Work or Fight Clause Is Changed in
Regard to Striking Workers, Rule
to Not Apply if Men Submit
Disputes TO War Board.

Washington. - The manpower bill
bringing within the army draft all men
from IS 10 45 years old was passed
on August u by the senate, with a
modified work or fight" clause.
A final amendment by Senator Poin-
dexter to make the minimum age 10
was defeated, 81 to q, after many
minor amendments proposed had been
defeated.
The senate was recorded unanimous
ly for the bill. Senator Gore of Okla
homa, who cast the only negative vote
on the roll call, Withdrew it and was
excused from voting. There were sew
enty-fve affirmative votes.
All efforts to change the age limits
or to direct separate classification of
youths under II failed and the meas
ure now goes to conference between
the house and senate, with no differ
ence for serious controversy except the
work or fight provision.
Strike Clause Changed.
TO the "wOrk or fight amendment
providing subsection to the draft Of
men exempted for industrial and other
reasons who do not continue to work,
a provis0 was added that in case of
strikes penalties of the work or fight"
rule shall not apply if the men submit
their disputes to the war labor board
and continue their labor. This limi-
tatlon, offered by Senator Cummins of
Iowa, was Incorporated, 70 to O.
Besides the ''work or fight amend
ment, the final fate of which generally
is regarded in doubt because of house
opposition and lack of administration
support, the senate wrote in an amend
ment by Senator Penrose of Pennsyl- |
vania, Republican, providing that draft
boards shall determine questions of |
deferred classlfications without requir- |
ng registrants to claim exemption or
deferred classification.
