But by that time Amy was half way
out the front door and she pretended
not to hear him. There was lump in
her throat besides, and she did not
want TO speak to anyone Just then.
Gardner came back from New York
the next morning. and in the afternoon
he took Amy to tea at the most fash.
ionable hotel in town. Gardner liked
to be seen Al smart places-especially
in company with good-looking girl.
"Billy's sailing tomorrow" he said

"You great. big, beautiful doll" sang
Barclay Sill, softly, as he took his

dance with Eliene at Donna's party.

SILL" was my comment. Il have been

ARE PROVING METT[E
CALAMITY Of 10Th Division Told in
Letters Received at Camp
Meade.

When the history Of the part Amer
leans have played overseas in actual
fighting has been written the story
of the gallantry of the roth Division,
composed of men from the District of
Columbia, Pennsylvania and Mary
land, who were trained at Camp
Meade, will command attention.
The Liberty Division has made
good" with the 1st American Army,
news reports and letters received at
Camp Meade from officers and men
with the fighting unit giving evidence
Of this fact
One officer with the 10Th Division
has written that the command has
proved its mettle under fire. the men
advancing in attacks in the face OF
terrific machine gun and artillery hre
and gaining all detectives.
He stated that eleven or twelve pat
TALON commanders were either killed
or wounded in the two days lighting
and that some of the companies came
out of battle in charge of non-com
missioned officers. A battalion OF the
31Oth Infantry of the 18th Division is
said to have been literally shot to
pieces.
Losses in the Liberty Division have
been heavy. To date casualty lists
issued by the War Department have
contained a large number of names
of men from the division. Casualties
of the outfit, however, are probably
not complete, since the names OF
those slightly wounded are not cabled
to this country, but are brought by
courier.

FINLAND MONARCHY DUE
GERMAN DOMINATION

COPENHAGEN, October 5 (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Finland became a monarchy instead
Of republic solely because the Firms
yielded to German domination, ac-
cording to a communication from
Finnish sources published in the Ber-
lin Vorwaerts. The correspondent as
serts that up to April last the Finnish
leaders were determined to organize a
republic, but in May the government
withdrew the measure for it's organi-
cation and advocated monarchy, CIV
ing as its reason the fact that Ger
many desired it.
The Vorwaerts asserts that although
the German government pretended to
be neutral on this question, the politi-
cal section of the German general
staff supported monarchy in Fin
land.
I'm reality we were not free"
writes the Finnish correspondent.
throughout Finland and warships lay
in Helsingfors harbor. The Finnish
foreign minister announced in the
Finland diet in July that the German
government wanted a monarchist
government in Finland"
1He r llulSH communication asserts
that some of the Firms refuse to
ecognize German prince as q King of
Finland.
The vorwaerts predicts that a time
will come when the German rulers OF
the new Baltic countries will be
packed off home, bag and baggage.
1t asserts that the German people
,ave been kept in ignorance of the de-
-elopment in Finland, and that this has
created dangerous position for Ger
many in the east.

To Develop Men.
rom the Industrial Magazine.

From the Industrial Magazine.
I would watch my working force
and always be on the alert for I'M
usual workers. I would see that from
the standpoint of the business as a
whole it is tremendously important at
all times to hold forth all possible
incentives to men and women, and
would appreciate that promotion is
one of the greatest incentives that
can be offered any one. Having that in
mind 1 would not object to the trans
fer of excellent men, but would rather
pride myself on my ability to develop
good men and try to be in the posi-
ton of always having material for
better positions ready when the OPP
portunity presented itself. l would
consider developing men one of the
most pleasant features of my work,
and would take great pleasure in see
ing those at work under my super
vision passed on to more important
work. knowing it to be tribute to
my own particular work.
