Delay in the launching Of the ex-

is giving the allied troops little con-
cern as they improve their positions
here and there by strong local at
tacks. Whether the Germans are
Is not yet clear, but strangely, they
do not react against the Anglo
French nibbling tactics.
On the Lys front between Mont
Kennel and the heights Of Mont
Rouge and Scherpenberg the French
have greatly improved their positions
in a forward movement along a front
of two miles. Not only were inn

400 German prisoners were captured.

effort to retake the village Of WILLIE

MAJOR E. W. LEE SERIOUSLY ILL

San Juan, Porto Rico, Aug, g.
Major Edward w. Lee, of the Medi-
cal Reserve Corps, who was one Of
the physicians called to attend Will
liam Mckinley when the President
was shot at Buffalo, has been seri-
ously ill with typhoid fever. He is
attached to the Base Hospital.
Major Lee came to Porto Rico
about three months ago with the first
!, group of reserve officers assigned to
the hospital Prior to entering the
reserve corps he had been for years
a surgeon in New York City. The
fact that he is the only one of the
officers coming from the North who
has been attacked by typhoid Is re
garded as interesting from medical
viewpoint for the reason that he was
the only one of these officers who die
not take the typhoid vaccination. j
has been a popular theory among
medical men that for persons ovel
As or SO years of age vaccination was
not necessary, as the likelihood o
their contracting the disease wal
very slight. Major Lee is man o
perhaps So years.

VALUABLE CARRIER PIGEONS
USED TO MAKE FINE PIES

London, July 31.-The most ex-
pensive pigeon pie which perhaps has
even been served anywhere was en-
joyed by members of the Allied dip
matte colony in Jassy last spring.
One February afternoon one of the
Allied ministers received crate OF
fine pigeons. There was no mark to
indicate the sender. The pigeons
were killed and cooked that evening,
and a number of the minister's col
leagues, including American Minister
vopicka, had their fill of pigeon pie.
A week later a delayed telegram
reached the minister who had been
host at the dinner. It was from
high military officer of his govern
ment, directing him as to the disposal
of a Every valuable consignment" OF
carrier pigeons which had been sent
him after long course OF training
and which were designed to take an
important part in certain highly con-
fdential negotiations then pending.

AN UNFORTUNATE RECOGNITION

The minister's wife sat on the front
porch mending the clothes Of one OF
her numerous progeny. A neighbol
passing stopped in for social chat.
A large work basket, half full OF but
tons, sat on the floor of the porch. AZ
ter various remarks of a gossipy ma
ture the visitor said
"You seem to be we'll supplied with
buttons, Mrs. Goodman"
Eyes; very we'll, indeed"
my gracious! II there amt two OF
the same buttons my husband mad on
his last winter suit I'd know 'em
anywhere.
Indeed said the minister's wife,
calmly. I am sorry to hear 1t, as all
these buttons were found in the con-
tribution box. So thought I might
as we'll put them to some use, so L
what! must you go. Well, be sure to
call again"

SOME PLANT MAY BE THE
NATURAL ENEMY OF WORMS
miami Metropolis.)

et lmidlul mOtiopohoD
Claiming that every bit Of insect
life has an antidote in some form OF
vegetable life and backing up her
theory with specific instances, Mrs.
John Valentine Kloeber of this city
declares that there must be some form
Iof plant life which will put stop to
the raids made by the army worm.
"a little bit of experimenting will
discover the right thing and then a
hedge of that plant can be placed
about the fields to keep out the pest,
she says.
"There has been an enormous in
crease in insect life in Florida re-
Gently and we are especially troubled
with ants. Now I have discovered
that a bit of rose geranium placed in
the sugar bowl will do wonders to
keep away the ants. At home we now
say Please pass me the bouquet when

Pennyroyal and wild mustard have
been found so effective by Mrs. Kloe-
der that she suggests that these plants
be selected first to experiment with.
"Once when I was spending the
summer in the country, made the
remark that | was afraid to sit under
a tree for fear Of the ants and my
hostess called my attention to the fact
that she often sat there and never
was bothered by ants or any insect
life. noticed y great lot of penny
royal growing in that neighborhood
and I decided that that was the rea-
son. Mrs. Kloeber says of her dis
covery.
Before | went home I gathered a
quantity of penny-royal and upon my

folding bed which we kept as an heir
