WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES N
THE FIELD, Aug i3-lNoonl-With
local fighting proceeding at many
points, the general situation on the
British front has changed little during
the past "a hours.
North OF the Somme the night was
quiet. except at Et!neham, where Brit

fenses and took some prisoners. Ger
man casualties have been rather heavy
as the result OF lighting in the region

the night In Flanders causing some al

have gone.

der the stern of a fisherman's boat.
Finally their heads come to the sur
face. They gasp, catch hold of the
rudder and look up into the sky
afraid Perry might return. The
boat starts to move away and they
seize the rudder with firmer grip.
The fisherman realizes something
is holding the boat back and drops
his oars as woman's hand and
then a mans seize the stern from
behind. He helps lima and then
Harry into the boat. Explanations
are cut short by Harry's eagerness
to get to shore.
Kismet returns to Ilma's apart
ment in hopes of finding her. He
sees her and Harry through the
glass. He holds out his arms and
then she hesitantly crosses to him
and places her head on his shoulder
raising her face towards his to be
kissed. Suddenly she draws back.
Seeing lima frozen with horror,
Harry wonders what is the matter.
Sne can't explain. When Harry
leaves, Kismet walks out and
speaks: Those lips are consecrated
to my master! One kiss and
slay you both"
That night Harry meets lima and
they again attempt to enter Mason's

decides as long as they are there
they will search the place.
While Perry's servant sleeps they
search the house in vain. A small
safe seems likely to be the place,
but they can't open it. While lima
steps into another room, Harry
wakes the servant and tries to make
him open the safe, but he says he
does not know how. To friehten
him, lima whitens her face and
walks in, pretending that she is
ghost. This is too much for the
superstitiOus servant, who recog-
nizes her as the girl he helped to
send to death. When she orders
him to open the safe he does so, but
after all it is empty. In the mean
time, Perry has returned in his
hydroplane and looked into the
room just as they are extorting
confession from the niger. Harry
and lima pursue him. He runs
downstairs into a watertight room
which he uses for experiments on
models of submarines.
Following Perry, Harry and lima
are trapped in this room. Perry
now sees at last a way of covering
his crimes. He turns on the water
and leaves Harry and lima to
drown. Upstairs. Perry piles the

would be too great to even contem.
plate, and so instead of saying this
world war, if it is won, let us rather
say that it must be won by the
Gnited States, not by the United
States soldiers alone, but by the
people of the United States. by the
men, women and children. We dc
\ not except even the children. Each
and every one must do his share OF
his bit and do it cheerfully and un
.complaininely.
The national government must
have the loyal support of all When
soldiers are called for whether in
the way of volunteers in the regular
army or in the navy or in the way
Of selective conscription the call
must be promptly answered. No
one, man or woman, mother, wife
or sweetheart must even think of
putting a stumbling block in the
way.
1t is a heart breaking matter, we
know, for a father or a mother to
even think of a son in the trenches,
or on the ocean subject to the dan
gers of q barbarous war conducted
by the German forces on sea and on
land. 1t seems almost unbearable
for the wife to bid farewell to the
husband who feels that duty calls
him to the army, but they 90 at
their country's call; they 60. to the
end that there may be an abiding
peace for all the people of all the
world. peace that can be brought
about only by fighting this war out
to the bitter end.
They 90, to the end that this free
land of ours shall not be placed un
der the domination of a brutal au-
tocratic foreign powers that knows
no way to govern except by force
and frighIfulness.
Life is dear to every man, but it
is not so dear as to be purchased
at such price. or least it is not
valued that highly by a free born,
liberty loving American citizen.
This war is not to be won, we re.
peat, by the soldiers alone. The
winning depends largely upon the
conservation of food, the cheerful
compliance with each and every
rule laid down by the United States
food administrator. which strict
compliance will make it possible
for this country to supply the
wants of our oversee allies.
The winning depends, too, large
ly upon the liberal answer on the
part of the people to every call
made by the nation for money with
!, which to prosecute the war, wheth-
er that call be in the way of pur-
chase of liberty loan bonds, war
savings stamps or thrift stamps.
The soldiers at the front are giving
their lives. Is it asking too much
of the people at home, not to give,
but to loan their money to the gov
eminent.
