KEGS VIII Not Be Denied.

With the American Army in the
Champagne, July 20.-American troops,
cooperating with the French in the
drive between the Marine and the
Aisne, already are within sight of
Scissors.
Latest reports received at headquar-
tiers indicated the Franco-American at
tack Is progressing satisfactorily along
the whole front. French cavalry is
said to have passed the main highway
from scissors to Chateau Thierry.
German Right Endangered.
The advance has been so rapid that
various ~regimental heaquarters have
been moved forward as many as three
times and couriers have had great diff,
ficulty in keeping in touch with the
commanders migrations.
The drive already is seriously threat,
enning the German right flank in the
Marine salient and holds possibilities
of forcing a great enemy withdrawal
Success of the present operations
has been the means of averting any
immediate danger to Paris. The at
tack is rapidly causing concentration
of men and artillery, which had been
held In readiness to continue the bat
tie to the southeastward. 1t is q
question whether the Germans will be
able to organize these, or will have to
withdraw them.
March All Night; Then Fight.
The element of surprise was the
great factor in the Franco-American
uccess Ability of the French and
Americans to hold the enemy along
the Marine line also contributed.
Many of the German soldiers were
at breakfast or were seeking shelter
from the rain when the Allies went
forward. The Americans had break.

without the handicap of observing

London, July 20.-Opinion Is united
here that the onward smash Of the

The navy isn't sleeping while the

INDIAN is LEARNING RAPIDLY
Beginning After Many Years to See
That the Ways of the White
Man are Good.

In the old days he depended upon
the wild deer and the buffalo for food.
He lived in smoky rogan or tepee,
and when anyone died there, he burned
it or moved away to keep the ghost of
the departed from haunting him.
In the old days he fought against
the white men and collected paleface
scalps. Then he called upon his medi-
cine man to cast spells over the mis-
sionary and drive him away.
Today he is learning to farm and
raise cattle. He builds house like
the white mans with floors and a Gel
lar for vegetables, and sometimes a
corrugated iron roof. In case Of a
death in the new cabin he does not
burn it, but uses the white mans dis
infectants to fumigate the place.
Now he is beginning to understand
what the "White Father" in Washing
ton is trying to do for him. He has
sent his full quota to our army in
France, and four-fifths Of the number
have been volunteers. He has sub
scribed nearly $4,000 900 to the Liberty
loans. Three times out Of four he
sends his children to school. Now forts
are disappearing, and churches are TAX
ing their place.
The Indian is beginning to "think
white."-Thomas G. Moffat, In World
Outlook.
