ALLIES NEAR VICTORY
War Decided by Recent Success
es, Says CIemenceau.
Foch and Entente Commanders Will
Bring About Decisive Collapse Of
Enemy, Asserts Premier.

Paris, Aug. 26.-Premer Clemenceau
teiegraphed the presidents of the gen.
eral councils that they could rely upon
the government and Marshal Foch and
his magnificent staff and the allied
military commanders to turn the pres
ent success of the allied arms into q
complete and decisive collapse of the
enemy
"The splendid victories of recent
weeks, M. Clemenceau said, "in which

Gently rivaled ours, has definitely set

bewildered, deceiving himself as to his

EXERCISE OF WILL, NEEDED
No Reason Why Women Should Not
Obtain Maximum Of Physical
Strength and Power.

Women can obtain greater physical
strength and power Sc soon as they
determine to do so, and adopt diff
ferent mode of living. There is absO-
lutely nothing in the wOman's Organi-
zatiOn that fOrbids it, as we are finding
out more and more daily. Many young
women are too lazy to grow strong.
They cannot walk dozen blocks, or
do anything that calls for the slight
est physical strength. Why? Because
there is any inherent quality in the
woman's body forbidding it? Not at
all. Because they never have done it.
There is no other reason on earth.
The women who are growing strong
er mentally and physically can smile
at the objectors who tell them they
cannot do this or that, and answer by
doing what they are accused Of being
incapable Of doing. But the more TIM
Id and younger ones, who yet hesitate
to venture into new fields of activity
in the face of opposition and ridicule,
need the assistance of professional
opinion and the encouragement Of
those who have gone before.-Montreal

INSCRIPTION ON FISH'S TAIL
Though Scientists Say 1t Is Moth
} ing Much Out of the Ordinary.

A strange fish was recently caught
at Zanzibar with Arabic characters
upon its tail. The fish was not one
of large haul, but was caught by a
single fisherman, who brought it to the
fish market There it remained for
some time, having no purchaser, as it
was a strange fish and one that had
never been seen before in those wa
ters. Finally an Indian of the sect
called "Memen" purchased it and, on
the strange markings being noticed, it
was taken to a widely-knOwn Arab
scholar, who, deciphered the inscrip-
ton. 1t was afterward taken to the
sultan, who also recognized the word
ing.
That night 5000 rupees was offered
for the fish and refused, and on the
following day 5000 rupees was re-
fused, according to Scientific Amer
lean. The original price paid for the
fish was pice (about 8 cents) and it
was eventually decided to have it pre-
served. For this purpose it was taken
to the government laboratory, where it
was treated with fOrmaline It has
since been placed on public exhibition.
There are two distinct inscriptions
on the tail, one on each side. On the
one side it reads "Laillnha Illalah"
('"There is no God but Allah') and on
the other "Shani Allah" GA warning
sent from Allah"). There is no sus-
picion of anything in the nature Of a
fake about the matter and the mystery
is so complete that no explanation Of
the strange phenomenon is forthcom-
ing. The Arabic lettering is perfectly
plain and the discovery has caused
wonderment throughout the Moham-
medan community Of Zanzibar.
It was identified as holacanthus
semicirculatus, Cuv. ct VAL, widely
distributed Indo-Pacific species of
chaetontidae. An authority on zoology
considers the markings as falling with
In the limits Of normal variation Of the
species.

London, Aug. GA week of con-
tinuOus allied success closed glorious
ly Saturday when the British stOrmed
no fewer than 10 important strong
holds. A semiofficial statement from
Paris emphasizes that the whole inter-
est Saturday centered on the British
front, where gains of ground of the
most important tactical value had
been achieved.
The significant part Of the success
Is that the Americans west of Fismes
and south of the Vesle have been late
ly assigned to the task Of hammering
the German communications in the re-
gion north of the Aisne district.
They have been steadily REINFORCED
all the time, and if their present move
ment develops it is likely to have seri-
GUS consequences for the Germans,
whom Generals Mangin and Humbert
are outflanking. While General Luden-
dOrff deems it prudent to retire from
this region, hiss.iecisiOn to withdraw
to the 1917 line may be hastened by
the Americans.
Germans Retire From VesIe.
With the American Army in France
Aug. 26.-Reports from various sources
say that the Germans are withdrawing
north of the Vesle owing to continued
pressure along the French and British
fronts.
In the Fismes district the German
artillery fired in desultory fashion
Sunday, and there was no infantry ac-
ton except patrol engagements at a
few places. Much heavy cannonading
has been hear around scissors.
The Americans are endeavoring to
confirm the withdrawal reports.
Prisoners taken by American troops
in the region of Chateau du Diable, to
the west of Fismes, said they had been
ordered to keep in constant contact
with the Americans along the Vesle
river.
The German retreat north of the
Marne river had been carried but in an
orderly manner, they declared, hence
German soldiers believe it to have been
premeditated and tactical maneuver
intended to eliminate an awkward
salient.

Her Golden Circiet.

There are several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring. Here Is
one of them: Before the time of mintS
and coinage the gold money in Egypt
was made in the form of ring, usu-
ally worn on the finger as convenient
method of carrying and safe keeping.
The men and women, therefore, had all
their gold or wealth made into rings,
and for the majority of people these
rings were no larger than the plain
gold bands of today. Thus. when the
groom placed the ring on the brides
finger he meant exactly what the mod
ern service makes him say-he did ac-
tually endOw his bride with all his
worldly goods.

court has issued decision, in which
he declares the sinking Of the Lusita-

was sunk.
Judge Mayer said the warning adver-

require the captain and his company
"to yield to an attempt of the German
government to terrify British ship
