port TO YOU that we now have every

cation to us when we realize how
difficult it is to secure competent
teachers.

The Germans have paused IN their
flight before the Anglo-Amcrican
advance from the Cambral-St
Quentin line long enough to at
tempt a stand along the Selle river
southwark from the tip OF the all
lied wedge at lie Cateau.
Momentarily, therefore, the line
appears to be stationary along this
front, where the enemy has hastily
dug in. Field Marshal llaig, in his
official report today, did not mem
ton any new forward movement
here.
The line is an extremely unsta-
bic one, however, and the German
defenses are described as mer,
scratches on the surface.
There seems every probability
therefore, that the allied drive will
be resumed as soon as the artillery
and the transports catch up with
the advanced clement tor power
ful push at the improyised German
positions.

Meanwhile, the British sweep Oh
the more northerly front has result
ed in an extremely close approach
to the city OF Douai. Closing in on
the south. west and northwest, the
British are hardly more than mile
and a half from the center OF the
place through their capture OF
Quincy, and the announcement OF
Douai's fall at any hour would not
be surprising.
Equally sweeping advances are
being made by the French III the
Champagne. The German front
there seems to have lost its power OF
successful resistance, and General
Petains troops have made Il quick
advance OF from three to four miles.
The important town OF NouzlerS has
been penetrated and the French line
in Champagne has been brought up
to a level with it lar to the west
along the Retourne river
The advance in the Champage
now has reached a depth of nearly
Is miles since the Franco-American
offensive was started on this front
September 20 hardly more than two
weeks ago.
American Army Drives On.
Aiding markedly in the success
OF thi, operation and striking at
even more vital German positions is
the continued American attack in
the Argonne and eastward in the
Meuse district. The American First
army fought its way northward yes
terday to the vicinity OF Landries-
et-St. Georges. which apparently
marks at least a mile and half
progress beyond the famous kriem-
hild line.
To-day the Americans were again
attacking. against such determined
resistance as to indicate plainly the
realization OF the Germans that they
are facing here a menace to the
safety of their entire position in
northern France through the threat
to their vital communicating lines IN
the Montmedy area.

serve of health and vigor lacking in the natives, withstood the ordeal. It is the second or third summer that tells.
 The flies and mosquitos of the val ley know no pity. In the early days of the fighting, when 1t was impos- sible to take the necessary sanitary precautions, they bred in myriads, but now pools of stagnant water have been eliminated and large tracts of scrub burned. As a result, the num- Der of malaria cases has been sur prisingly low.
 Of the minor evils, the snakes are the worst, but due to the precautions taken by officers and men, casualties from snake-bites have been compara- lively insignificant, despite the num- Der of the reptiles and their venomous species.
 One captured Turk. had been at tackled and bitten by a serpent four feet long, and as he lay on his cot in British hospital, he told how he had strangled the reptile and then faint ed His nerves were shattered by the incident, and medical officers said it would be years before they were again normal.

to enlarge the inheritance given to the children of men.
 Thus he represents a type more or less dead year and a half ago. Civilization had gotten into bad rut, with it's selfishness and money get ting. We were not very anxious to discover anything much higher and better, except how to get rich faster. The war has brought back into our lives something of the spirit of ad- venture and courage that men like Co., lumbus had in the. days of discovery. The great navigators who sailed into unknown seas, have something akin to our boys, who cross seas not un- known, but equally dangerous from the malice of men. They too risk their lives for an idea and a generous desire to discover new benefits for their people at home.
 So let us remember that our coun- try was built up by the spirit of faith and adventure and daring of the old heroes. They were never content to settle down to the satisfaction of easy and comfortable lives. Let us too start out on the errands of citizenship, and resolve never again to settle back to inaction until we have discovered and created a nobler America.
