The Results of the Drive.

On July Is, for the first time in more
than six weary months, the allied
armies undertook an attack on con-
siderable scale ~
What of the results? An advance of
about 20 miles in some directions gain
ed by the American and French troops
And this, is notable not so much for
what was accomplished. The square
miles Of territory liberated are not vet
more than half Of what was captured
by the Germans in their drive of May
q south of the Aisne. But the notable
thing is that it was an impromptu
affair, gotten up without the vast en-
ginery of artillery preparation and gas
shell attacks by which the Germans
have initiated their vast drives, and
submerged sections of the allied line
Meanwhile we know that in our
country and in France we are prepar-
ing a vast mechanism of war, of which
the Boche today has but had slight
foretaste. We are preparing our great
machinery of chemical warfare, our
fleet of airplanes, our array of heavy
and light guns, and last but not least,
many thousands of armored tanks.
If in an ipromptu attack without
elaborate preparation, with our equip
ment far from ready, our troops can
gain 20 miles, what will they gain next
spring when this vast enginery of war
is ready for the real thing? =

large numbers! You can stick your
head in the sand for few months yet
but by next April, get ready to hear
something drop.

Boys Who Leave School.

It is reported as probable that a
great many boys will leave school this
fall earlier than they expected, on ac-
count Of chances to earn high wages.
In SO far as young boys quit study at
an immature age, the country will suf-
fer from the interruption of their ed
Our prospective army Of 100000
men compels a reimbursement of our
economic life while the war is in pro-
gress. The majority Of these men come
from essential industries. Their places
must be filled. Many of the boys who
take up their work will be doing good
couraged.
We must expect that great many
men who are called into the army will
not be able to complete their regular
scholastic education. That is one of
the sacrifices called for by war; The
country will suffer, but it must pay
this as part of the price. 1t is worth
it for what we shall get.
But a great many Of these boys will
leave school at the age of IA to 16
from mere money making motive, and
will enter industries that could get
along somehow without them. A great
many such boys will take places that
could be filled by women and girls who
have completed their education.
When the education of young people

is stulnted. Also they are not so likely
to develop into the most intelligent
type of citizens.
Some Of these boys Of II to 16 think
they are performing a great stroke
when they quit school, tempted by
some job at good pay. They usually
squander good deal of their money,
and they are forever handicapped by
the incompleteness Of their training.

Where the Trouble Was.

A young mother was doing her best
to stop the screams of her child. The
harder she tried the louder the baby
announced his general dissatisfaction.
A ,crusty-looking individual sat near
by, with scowl on his face that spoke
of wrath rising to the boiling-over
stage.
"Does my child annoy ycsl, sir?" ask
ed the mother.
"Oh, nothing to speak of. l assure
you, madam" replied the man with
gorgeous sarcasm, "except that the
shock is so great when he stops too

have been even more surprised and
pleased.

of Commerce.
GREETED MOST CORDIALLY

DR.. Joseph II Odell, who was recently
chosen director general of the new State
civic organization, known as the Service
Citizens of Delaware, discussed inter
esting current topics before the Chamber
OF Commerce. today at noon, at the
luncheon held by the chamber at the
Hotel du pont. The attendance was
large, the greeting to the guest OF honor
most cordial and much interest was shown
IN what he had TO say.
Mr. 0dell is now pastor OF a large
church at Troy, \. y, having resigned
the pastorate IN order 10 take the post
offered him by the Service Citizens.
The latter organization was formed a
few months sgo, by prominent Della
wareans from all sections of the State,
the purpose, it was stated, being To work
for civic and material betterments all
over the State.
While those interested have had a
number of surveys ma c, thereby obtain
ing information as to many of the press
ing needs of the commonwealth, the
actual mapping out of a definite program
was left until such time as competent
director could be secured, and, follow
ing the selection of DR. Odell, several
weeks ago. it was stated that the matter
of mapping out program and direct
ing its execution, had been placed In
his hands.
Notwithstanding the fact that Dr.
Odell does not actually assume his new
office until January | he is spendln 2
much of his time this month IN Della
ware n order TO fapiliarize himself with
the v prk that IS To be done.
Whln war came. DR.. Odeli told hls
hearefk DeorIe ceased to think of petty
things. Protestants, Catholics aud Jews,
and a'so people of ali political parties
worked together for the good OF the world
PROS 10 war peoples chief interests
were ia their local churches, clubs and
perhaps IN their city. When war came
they hacame Interested IN larger things:
They also became ideallsts, but were OF

to become narrow and cramped now, he

to do for ourselves. Ii would be shame
