GERMANS LEAVING

BocHE INGENUITY ILLUSTRATED
BY THE INTERNAL MACHINES

Dugouts Blown Up Ten Days After

Days After Hun Evacuation.

Paris.-The boches are showing
which they are leaving internal ma
chimes behind them as they retreat to-
ward the Rhine. This ingenuity seems
to depend upon the time Heinie had-to
work it out. In some regions eN cry
dugout has its little contrivance of
one he left at Chatel Cherhery ranks
first. 1t was here that ammunition
dumps and dugouts began to explode
four days after the Germans left the
place some two weeks ago. Ten days
after the enemy was gone two dugouts
neers have found many types of in
fernal machines, such as those fixed
to eight-day clocks and thermometers.
For ingenuity one found few days
ago was remarkable. Eight feet from
the entrance of a handsome dugout
that would make good shelter for
weary doughboys was found cane,
hanging carelessly over the balustrade

Il certain engineer lieutenant had
learned to be wary. Walking around
the cane he examined 1t. 1t appeared
to he all right. Turning on his flash
light he went over it infinitely, and
half way between the ferrule and the
handle he saw small black string tied
to it. This string led to the balustrade
and down to where IL person would
naturally stand at the foot of the
stairs when grasping the cane. Be

Partners In JOY. and sorrow..

A writer says In the American Maya
zine: ut is good phrase we have
for describing women, partners of our
joys and sorrows I know not how 1t
may be with other men, but 1t is thus
with me: In the regular routine Of life,
when nothing much is happening, when
the days go by one after the other
filed with their monotonous rounds of
duties, / can, If necessary, exist for
long periods without the company of
women. In such days and weeks they
are sometimes, to be sure, a pleasing
distraction; but they are not food and
drink and shelter. can, II need be,
survive. But let success break through
the monotony of the daily grind; and
]. must have woman to share it; half
IT'S sweetness is lost otherwise. And
failure without their God-given chat
ter and unquenchable optimism Is
utterly fntolerable. / say 1 know not
how 1t may be with other Eaen, but 1t
Is thus with me-"

Premier Lloyd George of England is rightly famous among other things for his ability an orator. That the great burdens of the war have not deprived him of any of his power to make an ef- fective speech is shown in the address delivered in Edinburgh May 24.
