PEACE DRIVE GERMANY's NEXT MOVE.

Here is the opinion of the west front war sittuaon
held by ]. W. T. Mason who has attracted considerable
attention the war expert of the United Press Associa
ton He calls attention to certain important facts and
draws conclusions which are say the least worthy of
thoughtful consideration.
Mr. Mason argues that the reducing Of the intensity
cf the fighting the west front is normal condition of
the strategy dominating both Won Hindenburg's and
Marshal Fochs purposes.
1t is Won Hindenburgs natural desire to rest briefly
after his difficult retirement and it is wholly in accord
with Marshal Fochs plans to his own driving
power until Won Hindenburg sumes his dreary with
drawa to the Belgian frontier In this respect Won Hin
nburg may be said to possess quescent initiative 1t
is for him to say when his backward movement shall be
voluntarily resumed Until that time it is not prob
able Marshal Foch will order offensives large scale
against the enemy's positions.
Announcement was made yesterday that Admiral
Won Hintze the German foreign minister had gone to
field headquarters for conference with Won Hndenbrg
and Ludendorff This conference may well control for
the time being the military situation One Of the major
conditions now confronting the kaiser is to control as
much territory he when peace is declared. Won
Hintze has just visited Vienna for what is generally be-
lieved in Germany and Austria Hungary to have been
discussion about peace offensive.
If Won Hintze reports to Won Hndenburg and Luden-
dorff that there any hope of peace drive succeeding
it is highly probable the German retreat along the west
ern front will be held down temporarily to the lowest
minimum of which Won Hindenburg capable Of direct
ing Won Hntze will report at least that the wel-wom
Hungarian peace camouflage sto be tired once
more for Baron Buran the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister has already begun to play his part as principal
assisted by minor chorus.
Nevertheless Won Hindenburg cannot give Won
Hntze very much time for his peace maneuver without
gravey endangering the work Of building up German
reserve force While the German armies cling to their
present elongated front in vain hape that enchanted
words from Vienna will conjure up peace, Americas
quarter of million troops monthly will continue to ar
rive in France.
Won Hndenburg knows he must not tarry ndefn-
itey in western France if he is to defend the Rhine against
the Americans Therefore, If Won Hintze's peace cam
paign doesn't show quick results, every consideration OF
strategy will require Won Hindenburg to resume once
more his homeward tramp.

Allied Troops Are Ready.

Washington. Sept. 12.-With Ameri-
can troops landed at Archangel to back
up allied marines and United States
sailors already IN that region, it was
held here today that the proposed boil
sheviki thrust in the north will be fu-
tile
Germany has done her utmost to stir
the bolsheviki to make a drive in north
ern Russia, even getting a treaty pro-
viding fir such an effort. On the other
hand, there have been indications that
the allies expected to forestall such
movement by taking the initiative and
moving southwest.
The number or nature of the new
troops is not revealed, but it is assumed
that they came from English or French
camps and were well seasoned.
Unofficial reports that the bolsheviki
had seized Consul Poole of Moscow came
as no surprise here. Poole has been
staying bravely on at Moscow as moral
support for his detained allied colleagu-
es. Germany has launched well plan
ned campaign to strip Russia of all oh.
tainable loot before she is compelled to
retreat to her own frontiers by the

THURSDAY-THE WIFE
BRIAN OBJECTS TO BUSINESS
TRIPS FOR RUTH.
CHAPTER XXX.

CHAPTER AAA.
The journey home was entirely with
out incident. Ruth had been tiret
from her two days work in the Ole
mansion, and had retired to her state
room Immediately. In the morning she
went directly to the shop, altho Mr.
Mandel told her she was at liberty
to go home.
81 want to do some more work
while it is all so fresh in my mind,
she told him, and he objected no fur
ther. In fact, could Ruth have heard
him mutter GA find, without doubt, .
she might have begun to realize that
he believed in her-was pleased with
her. and with her work.
All day she worked steadily over
her plans. When closing time came
she regretfully laid them aside and
went home.
Mrs. Crawford was there, and din
ner was nearly ready. Ruth asked nc
questions, but stationed herself at the
window to watch for Brian. He would
be along in a minute. In some way
she missed seeing him, and the turn-
ing of his key in the lock was the
first intimation she had that he had
arrived.
"Oh. Brian!" and she ran to him
and threw her arms around his neck,
Were you lonely, Brian dear9 Did
you miss me "
"Was there any reason why ]
shouldn't be lonely?" he asked gruff,
ly. The soft feel of her clinging arms
had helped to evaporate his anger.
"Well, | am back now and we II
make it all up. | have so much to
tell you, dcar such wonderful old
place, and | am to do anything |

she corrected with little laugh,
"And Newport is lovely! L never
knew a place could be so heavenly
and -
"Did you 60 alone9'' Brian inter
rupted.
S'Why-no-" amazement in her
tones, "Mr. Mandel went with me. =
''You mean to tell me that you went
galivanting off with a man for three
days!" the veins in his face swelled
to almost bursting.
Brian-of course--he had to
go. He had to see to things. l

her trip, to tell him of how kind Ner.
Mandel had been; now she would tell
him nothing. He didn't deserve her
confidence. And-he didn't I trust her
or else he would not say such things,
Just then the situation was reliev-
ed by the call to dinner.
Ruth dashed the tears from her eyes,
and with head up and a defiant feel
ing in her heart led the way to the
table.
She did not again speak of her trip,
neither did Brian refer to it while
at table. They ate in silence save
when speaking of their food. After
dinner Ruth unpacked her bag, taking
no pains to hide what she was doing,
"Might as well leave it out, then
you II be ready the next time he wants
you to go somewhere with him." Bri
an sneered.
Again Ruth s eyes filled, but she
made no reply, altho an angry one
rose to her lips. Quietly she put the
bag away, then took a magazine and
sat down to read,
"I'm not going to sit in this stuffy
hole all the evening"" Brian blurted
"If you arel I'm going to a show. 4"
Ruth rose with alacrity. She knew
that Brian dreaded the long evening
with her because he was too proud
to own he had been wrong in talking
to her as he had, and that he was
also too proud to own the fault.
"Tp5's gold idea,t she said
brightly, "I'll be ready in minute. -
While She changed her dress for
one more appropriate, Ruth repressed
smile. What child Brian was, she
thought again, regular baby. Well,
she would treat him as such, humor
him. What difference did it make,
and it made things pleasanter. Moth
ing would make her give up her work,
or anything that her work made nee
essary. Beyond that, she would not
do anything save what Brian approx
ed, and she would keep her temper
when he was angry, even if he were
angry without cause.
So it was a bright face she pre-
sented to her husband when she join
ed him, ready to go out
'Where shall we go?'' she asked,
taking his arm, and smuggling close
to him. Even if he was cross and
grouchy, she loved him, and it was
good to be with him again.
He mentioned a play that she knew
was very popular, and the seats in
great demand and very expensive, as
they had to be bought from the spec
ulators. But she said nothing. He
wanted to show her he could take
care of her. Well, let him. She would
save the cost of tickets in some way.
"Nothing left in the house" the
man in the box office told Brian.
"It's an outrage, making people buy
tickets of those robbers" indicating
the spectators.
"Why buy them then? We can
come some other night. -
"I1l attend to this' and Brian
handed the man a ten dollar bill, re-
ceiving only three dollars in change.
