to speak the word 'victory" in con-
nection with the big military events
Of the last two days. highly en-
couraging phase Of the battle so far
is the attitude of the German SOL
diers now in the hands of the Allies.
Almost unanimously they speak the
bitterest words for their officers,
who apparently remained we'll in
the rear during the main attack.
Some are bold enough to denounce
the German high command, which
assured them before the attack that
it was positively the last and would
bring victorious peace.
Shock Forces Discouraged
Several days ago wrote report
of the lowered morale of the enemy
troops in line, but with the drub
bing they received while holding
until the great offensive began it
was natural for them to be down
hearted. But the attitude to-day of
prisoners from the we'll fed shock
divisions appears also to be one of
profound Encouragement mixed
with anger for their leaders, whose
empty promises have already re-
suited in the bloodiest losses from
one end of the long battlefield to
the other.

Probably the most stubborn re-
sistance to the Allied advance devel-
oped in the region west of Chaudun,

Of Scissors. The Americans and
French, fighting side by side, how
ever, refused to be checked. The
American machine guns moved the
enemy down and then our troops
went on.
In the region of Scissors, where
the attack was especially successful,
the Americans carried everything
before them by storm Early this

The second objectives were usu-

Funeral of Mrs. Costigan.

The funeral of Mrs. Costigan, who died on Oct. 9th, after less than a weeks illness, took place from the Church of the Nativity last Saturday morning, after which the remains were inferred in the Catolic cemetery south of town.
 Mrs. Costigan was born in Kansas City, Kansas, Nov. 8, 1891, and was a graduate of St. Anthony's Acade- my of that place. She was married to MT. Costigan nine years ago in Kan sas City, Mo-, and they moved to Flagstaff six years ago.
 Besides the husband and three children, the oldest of whom is only five years old, the deceased leaves a father and mother, five sisters and two brothers, all residents of Kansas City, to mourn her sudden death.
 The father of Mrs. Costigan, Will liam Delaney, arrived the day before the funeral, the mother going to the bedside of her son, who was reported in a dying condition with influenza at Camp Funston, where he is in the U. s. service.
 In April, last year, Mir. and Mrs. Costigan lost their oldest child and only daughter, Marie, she passing away at Detroit, Mich., where they took her for treatment by specialist.
 MT. Costigan's mother and sister, Miss Mary, who have been residing in Flagstaff for several months, will make their home with him and look after the care of the little ones left behind.

NEED OF ANIMAL FOOD.

It has been found that such animal food as milk, eggs, and meat con- tains growth-producing substances in quantities sufficient for the rapid growth and development of the body. While these substances are found in certain vegetables and grains, they are in quantities so small that often in the ordinary diet sufficient quanti- ties are not consumed to meet the needs of the growing body.
