TNHE old notion about the Incorrect
l. ness of beginning "A letter with the
personal pronoun "l" has hamnercd
many a good thought and spoiled many
a free>> swinging beginning. II Is
surprising to know that even now "A
great many people refuse to commence
letter with a." even when they have
to go all tho way around the alphabet
to find a stiltcd phrase for substi-
tute. They refuse to say what they
mean.
II is indeed a charming thing to be
able To write gracious letters, letters
that people like to get. In analyaing
the charm in a letter you find YOU love
It because YOU feel the writer is talk
ing TO YOU instead of writing at YOU.
That's the secret. To imagine YOU
are in a room with some one and then
10 write down the things you would
want to say.
This is not exactly as easy as il
But the encouraging part
about it is that this charm and case
comes with nraCtiCe. one sits down

and, having decided, She picks up her
pen and says ii regardless of which
pronoun comes first. Work on this
theory and eventually YOU Will be-

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE.
Aug 29.-The Third French Army. con-
tinuing its operations around Noyon. ad-
vanced along the road leading to Guis-
card to-day and occupied Happlincour
and the field Of man1uvres opposite.
The operations Of the last two days
have put the Germans into another
pocket between the Canal du Nord and
the River Aisne. They will have to
evacuate IT promptly or run big risk OF
having their positions there turned from
the north by the French along the valley
of the Somme.
l. Since the fall of Noyon. which was the
apex OF this salient. until this morning.
Mont St Simeon. mile and a quarter
to the east, is Its advance defence. Ihis
height dominates the valley of the Aisne
eastward and the valley OF the River
Meve and the Canal du Nord to the
north. These valleys were lines in the
salient last night
The taking of .Quesnoy Wood this
morning has frightened the pocket from
the western side. bringing the French
within shelling distance OF the main road
leading out OF It in the direction OF
Ham. The road from Noyon to Chauny.
which skirts the salient on the south. has
been under the fire of Gen. Mangin's
artillery for several days
Between the roads TO Ham and Chauny
a succession of heights extend from
Mont st. Simeon to Chauny, forming
position Of great strength. The Germans
are violently shelling the French lines
from there to-day. but the imminence
of danger threatening their communica-
tions to the north suggests that they are
merely using part OF their immense am
mutton supplies there to ease the pres
sure, which had become so strong as to
require them to abandon ammunition all
over the field of the Avre.
The French troops having gained a
foothold in the valley of the Somme
northeast OF Nesle may naturally be ex-
pected TO advance eastward on Ham.
which will render the stronghold of st.
Simeon and the ridge leading east use
less to the enemy while enormously in
creasing the difficulty OF getting the
rearguard out OF the salient.
The rapidly succeeding military events
not only confirm that the Germans have
lost all control OF their operations in the
regions of the Sommc. Avre and Oise
rivers. but they indicate that the enemy's
own retreat is getting out OF hand.
The Somme line having been rendered
difficult for the Germans by the rapidity
Of the Entente Allied pursuit there is
now a question. with the French troops
ready to cross the Somme at the enemy's
heels. where he will be able to make a
further stand.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-British troops
under Field Marshal Hais reached
the west bank of the Somme River,
south of Peronne, as far as Brie to-
day, thus fanking the Germans in
that important city.
On the southern end of the line
Gen. Mangln's army has advanced
beyond Noyon on the east and south
east, capturing Morlncourt and NOV.
ing up to the west bank of the Canal
du Nord, which they occupy for al
most Its entire length They have
crossed the Ailette at several places,
thus threatening the German posi-
tions on the Chemin des Danes and
making probable a withdrawal of the
Germans to the Crozat Canal.
Gen. Mangln also has captured
Juvigny, in the capture Of which
American troops participated, taking
n prominent part.
In the north the British are now in
possession Of Bapaume and are clos
ing In on Combles. On the entire
battle front from the Scarpe to the
olse the Germans are being thrown
back to the line of the Tortille River
ana the upper Somme between ST.
simon and Peronne. Here they may
make n stand before retreating to the
old Hindenburg line or beyond,
which now seems inevitable.
