Both the allies and Germans are
''now ready for battle" on the
west front, Secretary of War Bak-
or announced today in his weekly
war review.
1.-THE Germans recently have

front line trenches and are busily
training them in mobile warfare.
According to advices received,
the German general staff hopes
that by massing a large number
of these picked shock battalions
which have been intensively train
ed, they may deliver a crushing
blow"
Baker expressed a belief that
the Germans may find it expe-
dent to advance on Petrograd."
The secretary also told of Amer
lean trench activities during the
week. Rainy weather kept the
men at the pumps much OF the
time, to keep the trenches livable.
Later in the week, hostile air.
craft appeared generally over the
American positions and n mark

George does resign, he will be

In six weeks more Evans will have

Chad. who is apt to be quite de-
monstrative to Mollie, would
never have said that"
That evening we were all over
to Eliene's waiting for Mary and
Max and told them the little
story.
81 should say not" said Dick
emphatically. "A woman would
think a man was q blooming ass
that would talk that way to her

or five years"
How about before marriage?'

us.

old married men how to behave
to our wives"
Well" said Jim stoutly, 81
don't believe there is a man here
that has not said something quite
as assinine, IL you call II hat, to
some woman not his wife, then
why should he not keep up the
camouflaging after marriage?"
ITO much effort Jim," said
Dick.
ut would not be too much eff.
fort for me-" continued Jim. 81
think there Is altogether too
much taking things for granted
in this world. We do not tell
people often enough we love
them"
Great heavens, Jim!" ex.
claimed Dick, who is she? Tote
her out!"
"Oh, shut up, Dick" said Jim
you know I will never get any
girl to fall in love with me, but
all the same. I think any one OF
the girls here, Mollie, Margie OF
Eliene, deserves all the lovemak-
ing one can give them and I give
you fair warning that l am going
to offer myself for a part of lover
to each and all of them IL any
one of you chaps make the slight
est detection"
We all laughed, but, little book,
l think Jim was more than half
In earnest. What a splendid hus-
band he would make, and yet he
seems fated to live alone.
1t Is all so strange, little book,
/ could not help thinking about 1t.
| 1t was not so MANY years ago that
Mary was dead In love with Jack
and Jack was telling me he could
not live without her. Now Jack
was dead and apparently forgot
ten, and Mary and Max were per-
fectly happy.
Truly, as I told you, there is
no place in ones heart that cannot
be filled by someone else, IL II
happens to be left vacant for a
little while.

Little attempt was made to dis
guise the aims Of the persons who
entered the labor hall Tuesday
night.
Small sums of money, not
amounting to 81 in all, were
taken, together with a fountain
pen and 81 worth of stamps.
The desk Of A. L. Dickson, sec
rotary of the shipyard workers
was forced open with an ak. A
large number of receipts for cash
spent by the union were stolen
The thief looked thru a check
book Of the union, and tore out
one set of stubs, throwing it on
the floor, but ignored three
checks in the book that had al
ready been signed by union Off
GERS and could have been cashed
easily.
All the keys to a filing cabi-
net in which the union records
have been kept were stolen and
Dickson summoned a locksmith
Wednesday to open the cabinet
and determine whether any OF
the records had been taken. Con-
tents of pigeon-holes and desk
drawers were scanned. One small

their patrols with the resultant
death of five men.
An American sentry sighted
two Germans in the darkness of
No Mans land last night. His
challenge was answered by q
shot. Rifle and machine gun fire
began to pour from the American
trenches. In response to a sig
nal, the artillery laid down a
barrage between the concealed
German patrol and its trenches.
The Boches, who are believed
to have been lying in wait for an
American patrol, fled. They took
their casualties with them. but the
ground was stained with blood
A number of bombs and a re-

an American bullet were left be-

could be learned, nothing from

A MAN MUST STILL
MAKE LOVE TO HIS WIFE

MANY LoSE NJ nIo WIT u
Some way everything good or
bad comes to me out of clear
sky.
No one had heard from Mary
and Max for ages and yesterday
who should call me up from the
hotel but Mary; they have come
over from Italy for long stay.
Immediately started over to see
them. Mary is a beautiful woman,
much more beautiful than she
promised to be when she was q
girl.
Happiness is the best cosmetic
in the world, Margie," she said.
You remember that while you
have been over here part of the
time i'll, l have been in glorious
Italy with Max who really seems
to have copied from the Italians
the way of making love to perfec-
ton"
do the Italians make love per-
fectly?" l asked.
Mary was silent for a moment
while a tender smile played about
her lips. Il think" she said, "if
l had not married Max, Margie, |
would have wanted to marry an
Italian. The Italian man is always
the lover of his wife when he Is
with her. Why, l have a friend in
Florence who is 10 years older
than her husband and yet I never
saw such devotion in my life.
Before I came away / was at
their home just as he was leaving
for week away from home.
