the Marne, July 16.-Reports
from one end of the battle line
to the other say that except for
few minor localities the great
German offensive so far has been
complete failure.
Additional Germans prisoners
taken to-day say they are con-
vinced that their commanders
have been beaten.
American troops to-day shot
down a courier pigeon belong

Thierry. 1t was carrying mes
sage from a German divisional
headquarters saying the situation
was serious; that the Germans
saw no chance of making
further progress in the locality
of that division.
With the American Army on
the Marne, July 16.-Word re-
ceived this morning from the
battle front to the east of Rheims
lshows that the allied defense is
not only still holding up the Ger

appears to have broken the
enemy's spirit.
At one nolnt on the front of the
offensive where American troops are

a taste of real American fighting,
Bearing the brunt of the blows be-
tween Chateau Thierry and Jaul-

The correspondent talked with
some American soldiers now in hos

were in complete agreement that the

breaking up the early Boche plans
for they stuck to their posts and
poured deadly streams of bullets into
the enemy, and only withdrew when
their guns were so that they could

Welfare Work

The story Of a big Comeback" in
the children's year campaign for
healthier babies centers in New Or
leans.
With the tidy sum of $4,000 gen
erously provided as a "wheel-greas-
er" for the welfare committees, the
machinery of the local organization
has operated with gratifying
smoothness and effectiveness.
Since the work started several
months ago twenty-nine new health
centers have been opened in this
city of the far south. Through the
cooperation of good physicians and
good public health nurses the entire
program has been splendidly put
over. knowledge has been driven
home to thousands of uniformed
or careless mothers of the value of
proper development during the early
years of the child. The fact that
there are real standards OF weight
and measurement which are used TO
indicate the health progress of the
CIlllu has UCCii HuduC SlcdI. MOtISIS,
Indifferent with the indifference of
ignorance, have been stirred to
realization of the "backwardness"
of their own children by a species of
neighborhood competition with
other mothers who faunt publicly
the proud fact that their babies have
been pronounced "up-to-normaf by
the committees. The principles OF
nutrition have been discussed in OBJ
scure neighborhoods, and in conse-
quence the meaning and results of
malnutrition are at least beginning
to be understood.

opment. 1t may even have to nc
repeated next year for the benefit OF
the 1919 crop of babies. But it has
at least been the means of stimulat-
ing the public conscience to realiza-
ton Of the need for even more
ample protection for all children.

Government to Discover
Right Places for the
Young Workers

For the ID per cent of the workers
of this country who are between the
ages Of 16 and Il the United States
employment service, Department Of
Labor, is organizing Junior Sec
ton.
During the, war period the place
ment of workers under Fl was car
ried on extensively, but under the
pressure of expanding the service
from go to 900 offices it was impos-
sible to give adequate attention to
the peculiar needs of the younger
workers. However, in several of the
large cities special junior placement
branches have been developed, and
these will now be continued under
the general policies of the federal
service.
Two specialists have been appoint
ed to organize ad direct the work
of the junior section. These are:
Jesse B. Davis, principal of Central
High school, Grand Rapids. Mich,
who has made thorough survey of
industrial conditions recently and
has had practical experience in voca-
tional guidance, and Mrs. Anna Y.
Reed of Seattle, Wash, who has
had experience in teaching, industrial
work and business management.
If the placement of the young
workers, who, according to the CEN
sus of 1910, equal the total number
of productive workers between 81
and A., can be handled wisely for
five years, it is believed that one Of
the most serious problems now con-
fronting the service will be solved
The last census showed that, in COM
parison with the women workers
over 81, girls were employed in the
surprising ratio of to 5.
The counselors employed in the
junior section may be part time or
full time workers. The right person
is the main consideration. These
counselors of young applicants must
know the industrial and industrial
demands of their communities and
must be familiar with the education
al facilities. They must be skillful
in handling young workers. 1t is
planned to employee for the boys
work specialists who understand the
peculiar needs of juvenile applicants,
and for the girls the counselors will
be women of wide experience. 1t is
believed that for both sexes the bes,
balanced guidance and placement
may be assured.

A Quarrel.

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:

for about two years. and our inten-
ton Is to be married some time soon.
The other night we got into a quar-
rel. He gets mad when [ talk to
other young men Of my friends; in
deed, he knows l think most of him.
l told him l was out helping my
cousin husk corn: also, | would give
my cousin a Christmas present and
l would give him the same for
Christmas. He let me understand
in very funny way it was for my
cousin l husked corn, and told me 1
didn't need to give him any present.
We were in little quarrel before,
but he followed me ali over and at
last came back. l am just a plain,
common working girl and l don't
know what to do about this. Please
give me your advice. EDA.
You are entitled to your friends
and no young man has right to
object so long as your relations with
these friends are entirely proper. If
this man loves you he is, perhaps,
just little bit jealous and your
quarrel will not amount to much.
Is He Sincere?

all manner of promises. 1 really

him, but doubt his sincerity About
four weeks ago he broke an appoint
ment with me, but was sorry and
said this was due to his navy duties.
l forgave him, but it happened
again. I also disappointed him the
last time he came to see me, but told
him the reason, which was a good
one. But l have not heard from
him since. Now, Miss Fairfax, do
you think it advisable to give him

if he has a good explanation for his

She gives you that list herself.
On this list is mentioned
Everything that was ever made,
According to your knowledge.
You cannot look at coral beads,
Ivory dressing sets, jewel cases,
Celluloid brushes and combs,
Leather handbags, side combs,
Cameo pins, whlskbrooms, pens,
Writing paper or vanity cases.
Then you think of something useful,
Like wringer or washboard,
But you haven't the courage.
Then you try the next day
And the next and the next,
And you are farther from the goal
Than when you started.
You are afraid to buy anything
For her to wear. You did that once.
Every husband does it once.
Finally, on the last day;
After telephoning all her friends
Without receiving any light,
You take the matter in firm hand
And go and buy her an Angora cat
Or globe of goldfish
And spoil her Christmas
