planes over to blow up the railway
station and tracks, to interrupt the
traffic. Bombs had been dropped in
many places. One hit the train that
left Paris four hours ahead of us, and
another had hit the track just ahead
of US, SO that when dawn came we
were stranded about three miles from
Amiens.
Looking out of the window we
could see airplanes flying back and
forth, singly, in pairs and three or
fours.
All along the highways people were
fleeing before the onrush of the Ger
mans. Women and children had
gathered what few belongings they
could convey and were walking along
the road and pathways, trying to
reach the station, hoping to 60 some
where, anywhere, that would afford
safety. They used wheelbarrows,
baby carts, top wagons-anything
with wheels that would carry load,

As the morning wore on, passen-
GERS began to leave the train. One
man, with important papers that ne
didn't want the Germans to get,
caught train back to Paris, with a
plan of reaching London by way OF
Havre; we were going by way OF
Boulogne.
Hunger came with the noontime,
and we left the train to hunt food,
which we found after a walk of about
two miles. A house had been aban-
doned and with it some bread and a
dish of salmon which we appropriated.
It was while on this road to Amiens
that we were brought to a realization
of what the Germans really had done.
I had been in the city two weeks be-
fore. It was occupied by women and
children and old men. In 1906 it had
a population of $4,000. The streets
on the first visit were clean and or

planes had dropped 200 bombs on the
city, blowing up homes and store
buildings, killing women, children and
old men.
Added to the population of two
weeks before were wounded soldiers
and Red Cross nurses. We could see
many Of the men brought from the
front being carried to the station on
stretchers, to be taken further back
to French or British hospitals.
By the roadside we saw about sixty
soldiers resting. They were in khaki
and carried packs, but they appeared
weary and worn. A British officer
told us that they had been in hos
pital nearer the front; that an ambul-
ance had taken out the patients who
were unable to walk, and that these,
so far recovered as to be nearly ready
for their discharges, had walked sew
eral miles to get away from the Ger

The Beginning of the End.

The allied armies are smashing in the
defensive lines of the central powers
every time they strike. There are seven

enemy has failed to hold his lines at any
one place where they have been serious

has surrendered Internationally and have
ordered their allies to evacuate Bulgaria
within 80 days. A powerful Turkish
army has been annihi1ated Germany
and Hungary asks the allies to
consider a basis of peace and discon-
tentment among the civilian population
of the central powers is developing to
serious proportions.
On the Italian front the Austrians are

ualties during the fighting this year.
The, Germans have lost more heavily
than, the Allies; but let us take for
granted that the casualties are in the
same proportion. The Germans have
lost approximately q per cent of their
! fighting men in four years of war. Sup
posing that million men were fighting
on both sides of the western front, the
loss would be at the rate of seven per
cent per annum; or, 100000, which is at
the rate of 10000 per month. Now the
United States troops have been moving
! to France at the rate of nearly 100000
men month lately. That would fill
the gap left by casualties and provide
an additional army each month of
100000 men. The Germans on the other
hand must replace the men lost. Since
March 2lst last, their losses have been
greatly in excess of 10000 per month.
Previous to this summer the opposing
armies could checknate each other
pretty well. Now the allies are smash
ing the Teuton lines frequently in vari-
GUS sections, and they are not check
mated. Following the allegory of the
chessboard, this means that before long

longer be able to prevent the checkrnating

A new program for all public eating
places, effective October a. is announced
through R. F. Bicknell, federal food adj
ministrator for Idaho, by the United
States food administration. The new
rules apply to all places throughout the
United States where cooked food is sold
to be eaten on the premises and affect
nine million regular or occasional pa
irons 'The public's cooperation IS re-
quested in enabling full compliance by
our eating places says Idaho's admin
istratOr
These new regulations carry into effect
the recent announcement of the food
administration that in fulfilling the Am
erican promise to the allies to send
them seventeen and a half million tons
of food this year, the public eating places
would be called upon to undertake in
many particulars a more strict program
than last year."
The general plan of the food admin
istration with regard to the conduct of
public eating places has been reduced to
twelve definite general orders" These
twelve rules furnish the specific meas
ures by which the food administration
plans to carry out, so far as public eat
ing places are concerned, the announced
plan that for next year the American
food program will be direct reduction j
in the consumption of all food, particu-
larly the staples, rather than series of
emergency regulations such as meatless /
and wheat1ess days and meals, and the I
of one food for another.

HAVE Y. N. C. A. HUT
Mr.. MORGAN, EXPERIENCED
WORKER, COMES TO TAKE
CHARGE OF WORK

+. E. Morgan, the associate student
secretary for the western department oil
the Y. M. c. A., will be here for the next
week or ten days organizing work along
the lines of social entertainments and re-
liglous services for the men and students
in training here.
Mr.. Morgan spent several months
working at Camp Kearny, San Diego,
California. Recently, however, he has
been visiting educational institutions in
Utah and Montana in the interests of
the Y. M. c. A. All student work under
the war work council is to be the same
as in the camps.
The student classes in the, different
Sunday schools of Moscow are expected
to take very important part in the
work of the Y M. C. A. 1t is hoped,
with the aid of the ministers, to put on
the work in the classes which is best
adapted to the needs of the students.
The question of Y. M. C. A. building
can not be answered at this. time. The
Y. M. c. A. work with the S. A. T. c..
was not included in the 1918 budget, and
the money used for it must be taken
from funds which belong to other de-
partments. Moreover, the funds for
1919 are fifteen million dollars less than
is needed. However, President Lind1ey
and others interested in Y. M. C. A.
work have taken the matter up with the
war work council at San Francisco, and

"At any rate" said Mr.. Morgan,
