STUNNED GERMANS
TARRY IN ATTACKS;
FRENCH MAKE GAIN
Continued from First Pass.)

apt to reckon victory in terms Of often
sive success, but a defensive victory
ike that on Monday may contribute
equally toward the ultimate object OF
the campaign, namely, destruction OF
the enemy's fighting strength.
From this viewpoint the Germans.
DESPITE their spectacular successes. can
be regarded as having had the worst
Of the balance Of nearly six weeks
lighting, for 1t must not be forgotten
that they sustained series Of dfsas-
trous losses, of which that of Monday
was the most sanguinary OF the last
fortnight.
One Complete Failure.
Indeed, apart from the capture Of
KENNEL hill, it has been one complete
failure, including four separate defeats
in pitched battles. These were on La
Bassee canal, on the Belgian front. at
Villers-Bretonneux and now on the
Bailleul-Ypres front. The eliminating
effect Of this has been to immensely
increase the confidence of the Anglo
French troops, whom the correspondent
describes as now feeling that they have
got the measure of new enemy divisions.
Other strokes undoubtedly will come
before the German reserves are exhaust
ed, but confidence is felt that wherever
the Germans try they will find the allies
ready. Now that the attack of no fewer
than hundred thousand Germans has
been broken in a sheer trial OF strength
on ground none too favorble by the
thinner allied line, there is growing
hope that Ypres will not be abandoned.

The piano player went on, and the
actor followed. And he almost died
at the sight that met him. The piano
had been moved up from the pit onto
the stage. and the piano players back
was to the audience. A great chance
for an act depending largely for it's
success upon the back -and-forth be-

Also there were several thousand
palms all about the STAGE which
made the actor very nervous.

did not know that boys often dig

"And them" said Tip to himself.
with laugh, She'll squeal louder
than the brown pig does when pull
Der tail, and SILVER with fright worse
than I did last year when I had the
ague"
X
He had plenty of time to accom-
plish this task, for Mombi had gone
to a village-to buy groceries. she
said-and it was a journey of at
least two days.
So he took his axe to the forest and
selected some stout, straight saplings,
which he cut down and trimmed of all
their twigs and leaves. From these
he would make the arms, legs and
feet of his man. For the body he
stripped sheet of thick bark from
around big tree, and with much
labor fashioned 1t into a cylinder of
about the right size, pinning the
edges together with wooden pegs.
Then, whistling happily as he worked,
he carefully jointed the limbs and
fastened them to the body with pegs
whitfield into shape with his knife.
By the time this feat had been ac-
ccmplished 1T began to grow dark,
and Tip remembered he must milk
the cow and feed the pigs. So he
picked up his wooden man and carried
1t back to the house with him.

tainly, he thought. singing cannot be
any worse than springing jokes which
do not get over.
I may live to be an old. old man,
but I never hope to see a singer get
worse reception than he did The
crowd apparently took his singing Sc.
riously. which was the last thing III
the world he wanted 1t to do. When
he made a joke. the crowd yawned.
When he sang, the crowd moaned At
last saddened beyond words, he be-
gan to rush through his lines, in the
faint hope that he would reach the
end of his act before some one drew
a gun: Which. of course. is fatal. If
an act has merit at all. the only way
1t can be gotten over is to do it in
ones own sweet time. To rush jokes
and songs has the sanre general effect
as rolling chinaware down hill in or
quickly, all right. but. great suffering

Half the crowd was snoring when
the actor. by Jumping two verses, came
to an end and dashed back from the
stage into the palms. He was only3a
leap ahead of the pianist. For, as I
nave said before. the pianist was
real performer, and he knew when

upon me that had forgotten to buy

or course I ran. But not fast enough.
The actor was soon on my heels. and
with reason. The crowd was right
after him. They wanted moro of him,
1t appeared. Just how badly they
wanted more of him, however, was
apparent to him, and he lost no time.
Nor did I. We went up 9TH street at
a mad rate and finally outdstanced
