Aug. 2S.-The attack Of the first
French army against the German line
from south of Chaulnes to Laucourt is
making progress all along the line.
Counter attacks were launched from
Roye by the Germans during the night
but were repulsed. One company

Cactus Candy.

Louisiana sugar cane planters have
evolved a plan for manufacturing
candy from the spineless cactus. In
the process the peel Of the plant In
removed. dipped into hot molasses
and coated with graduated or pow
dered sugar. The result is a confec-
ton of rich and delicious flavor.
So successful have been the expert
ments with the new sweet that cane
planters are now growing cactus.
which formerly was utilized. when
used at all, for cattie fodder. Planters
can in this way furnish plenty of raw
material for the new product.
Another important result In the
making Of what some enterprising adj
yertisef may call s-kaktus-kandy,"
says an exchange. is that sugar mills
which have heretofore been idle for
nine months in the year can now use
part Of their equipment in the candy
manufacturing industry.

THE DEMAND OF THE TIMES.

The need of this, as of all time, is
mutual understanding upon public ques-
tiOns. That the leading thought upon
this subject has not only appreciated
this fact, but is expressing its convie-
tions is evidenced by recent utterances
of leading men.
In an address before the Standard
Literary Society New Years day DR..
B. F. Riley emphasized this need. On
the same evening Ex-Governor Charles s.
Deneen, speaking before the Negro Fell
lowship League, suggested the same
idea.
We are also of the opinion that since
there seems to be some doubt on the
part of the uniformed as to just what
the Colored Americans attitude is upon
the great questions which are agitating
the thought of the world, we should
make our position clear in an authentic
manner. And since We are becoming a
race of independent thinkers the most
an individual can do is reflect the
thought of his community. We therefor
suggest that local townships or county
conventions be held and that delegates
be chosen to state conventions and that
such state conventions choose delegates
to a national convention to be held in
some central city most convenient to the
largest number. This national cenven-
ton after due deliberation shall publish
to the world declaration Of the Col
ored people Is conception of the primer
pies of Democracy, patriotism and hui
manity, so that there shall be no further
question as to our attitude upon world
problems as they affect us and hu'
mainly.
The columns of THE BROAD AK are
open to the public for an expression of
opinion upon this question, both as to
the need of such PRONUNCIATION and as
to the manner of securing same.

HApPIEsT PERIOD OF LIFE
Generation That Really Knows What
oIadness 10 Has Not Been Born,
Asserts Church Paper.

Some sage has arisen to remark
that human life up to about fifty years
ago was not worth living-that only
the inventions and institutions of the
last half century have made life bear.
able.
Unfortunately. there is no way accu-
rately to gauge the degree of happi-
ness Of any period or even to define
exactly what happiness is, says the
Christian Herald.
All we can know for certain Is that
the happiness Of our own times is the
best that is attainable TO us. and lucky
is he who gets his share of II.
Happiness. like health. is known to
us chiefly through its opposite. Health
Is known through disease and pain.
and happiness through dlsappoint-
ment and misery.
The masses Of mankind. until this
century almost dumb, now make heard
their sufferings and dissatisfaction.
The woes Of centuries are finding ut
teranee In the free speech of our day.
AhS wan may Cdust lHc uuiHiuhtus
to suppose that the sun Of human
happiness is suddenly obscured. But,
to the contrary. the remedies follow
Ing the better understanding of wrong
conditions steadily improve the con-
ditions under which happiness may
become more general. The more we
hear Of wrongs, the fewer wrongs we
have.
Philosophers may wrangle about II
until doomsday, and no doubt they
Will; but the age which knows the
least earthly misery and woe is the
one that has been longest dead, and
the generation that really knows what
happiness is and can realize its full
possession is a long time yet unborn.
