OBJECTIVE CLEAR
German Plan Was To Close On
Paris From Two Sides.
Used Equipment Given to Rus
STA by Allies.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, Friday, Aug. . (evening).-
The Franco-British offensive in the
Aniens region inaugurated the fourth
phase of the 1918 operations which
began with the German drive against
the same sector in the closing days of
March. The Champagne drive was
the third and the great peace often
sive, while that delivered against the
Scissors Rheims sector is classed as
first blow which brought the enemy
into the Amiens region, temporarily
forcing the British back from long oc-
cupled terrain. Reviewing these four
months of battle. the allies may feel
content.
German Objective Clear.
The German objective now is clear.
course. In March his purpose was
twofold, first, to cut the northern rail
communication to the channel ports
and second to establish a western jaw
in the gne-Soissons-Rh
vicinity and close slowly on Paris. His
one success was toward Amiens. The
last forty eight hours proved that that
was but temporary as time counts in
this war. Elsewhere the enemy not
only has failed, but he has met with
reyerses. In the Soissons-Rheims ana
Champagne operations the enemy
sought 10 lntTu0e the eastern Jaw OF
his pincers and by dominating the
Champagne heights to force himself
between Paris and Verdun and at the
same time open q direct southern
route TO the capital. He met with, a
resistance which in both physical and
moral aspects he apparently was not
prepared for.
German Food Plentiful.
In this fighting the allies felt the
f!Fat nhXRicAl effect of the dnOvnfan M
Russia Much of the war material
which has fallen into allied hands
was that supplied to Russia by the all
lies in happier days. Officers who in
spected the dead and questioned the
prisoners say the German clothing
was of good quality, that the arms
were in excellent condition and that
the rations taken from the dead and
wounded as the allies advanced were
plentiful and nutritious.

MANY WAR LIBEL SUITS
Judge Finds "War Mania" Causes of
Many Gases in British Court

London, Aug. 10-British courts
have had to contend recently with an
unusual number of libels on public
men, which led Justice Darling in Old
Bailey court 10 inquire recently
whether some of the cases had been
brought about by mania due to the
war.
Justice Darling referred to the 'swar
mania" which, he said, affects a con-
siderable number of persons in this
country, saying:
TT is obvious that some people. ow-
Ing perhaps to the long continued mil
itary operations and the strain which
they put on every one, people who in
ordinary circumstances would be quiet

OF their senses to some extent, and do
things which they would not do in or
binary times.

Race Horses Than Amy Man.

Lexington, KY, Aug. 10.@John e.
Madden, owner of Hamburg Place
here. the most extensive breeder Of
racing horses in the world,

Mr.. Madden will continue to race

will be given to agricultural pursuits
The dispersal date of the Hamburg
Place stations and mares has not been
announced. It is expected to surpass
the Wickliffe stud sales here last
January, when $3.50 worth of
thorobred horses were sold in one
afternoon.

Some Of he sires to be sold by Mr..
Madden are Ogden. the four time

Boots, the futurity> winner: Ormon-
dale and the Kentucky Derby winner.

America and England.
Mr.. Madden is credited with having
sold at high prices more racing ma
terial than any other man living:
Coincident with the announcement of
his retirement, Madden made the sale

Power of Prayer

DOME Bush, the Detroit shortstop,
was playing in an exhibition game
against an indianapolis colored. team.
One old negro was sitting in the
bleachers watching his brethren per-
form. Also, he had wagered all his
spare change and all he could borrow
on them.
The teams were playing the ninth
inning and the colored lads were one
run behind. They also had q man on
third with two out and their heaviest
hitter at bat The batter popped q
foul.
Bush, scampering over, neared the
ball and just as he was about to make
the catch the old darby dropped on
his knees and howled:
"Oh. Gawdi Paralyze dat mani"
Bush heard him, started to laugh
and dropped the ball The batter
slammed the next pitch for a home
run, winning the game.
There is one colored gentleman in
Indianapolis who is far from being
in need of advice from Billy Sunday
on the power of prayer.

the feature OF the getaway card OF the
second Grand Circuit summer meet
ing here, in straight heats. The time

the heavy track. The second half of
the final mile was paced in 50 n sec
onds and the last quarter in 29A.
Both heats were hard fought. In the
opening, William, second choice to
Single G, romped off in front and led

the outsid, and drew on terms with
William. The latter hung on for a
short distance and then broke, Miss
Harris NJ chasing Single @ to the wire
and losing by short half length.
In the second heat Single G led all
the way. William tried to overtake
him at the half mile but was shaken
off. In the stretch, Miss Harris NJ
challenged. making Single @ step the
fast half and final quarter.
The All trot went to Sybil J. After
finishing fourth to Selah Baird in the
first heat, the mare won the next two
and the race.

COMMON SENSE?
Some Freak "Lieso of Golf
Balls Not Covered in Rules.
Storms and Debris of Storms
Fail of Consideration.

Chicago, Aug. 1o.-Despite the nu-
merous rules OF golf. situation fire.
quently arises in an important match
that can not be satisfactorily decided
under the letter of go1fing law. Many
decisions are made by inverse deduc-
tons from the precepts OF the game.
For example, one rule provides that
after the ball is in play. nothing fixed
or growing shall be moved, bent or
broken. except in taking the stance.
or IN the regular swing at the ball.
This is held to forSid practice strokes
after the player leaves the tee.
Another rule. which came up for
decision at the recent Red Cross tour
nament at the Ridgemoor Country
club, and not being decided. caused
Pat Doyle of Deal. N. J., to cut away
a tree branch with his niblick, pro-
vides that nothing shall be done to
Improve the lie of a ball in a hazard.
The compilers of the rules probably
Gid not figure on the contingency Of
finding a tree limb, blown off by q
storm, in the precincts of bunker.
He Had to Chop.
That was what Doyle encountered
when his long drive from the 18th tee
found a bunker. A storm, which had
interrupted lne play, ndO DloWn u
leafy branch of q nearby oak into the
trap. Doyle was barely able to see his
ball under the limb. While some Of
the onlookers thought the limb might
be removed under a rule which pro-
vides for dropping the ball away from
q hole made by the greenkeeper or
from ground opened for repair, Doyle
decided to play the ball as it lay.
The plucky Irishman gave a fine
exhibition of woodchopping and
pitching when he chopped clear thru
the branch and lofted the ball high
across the fairway.
Caused Big Argument.
A more puzzling question was at the
Women's Western championship at
Hinsdale, several years ago. After
one of the players had driven and the
rest Of the foursome advanced to play
their brassies, it was found that a
small snake had curled itself around
the ball of the first driver. A caddie
grabbed the snake by the tail and
shook the bail loose several feet from
its original lie. There was quite a
discussion until it was proved that the
caddie did not touch the ball and that
no mention of snakes is made in the
rules. altho the reptile was a. grow
ing thing"

twelve years ago to work with their

Out of that wide experience with
farm equipment is it not logical that
they should build tractors that would
best operate all the machines, field and

think so, and that is one reason why we
