War Summary
1,526th day Of the war.

1,oEotn Gay OF tne war.
West front, eencrai--The Germans
are burning cities and villages be-
hind their front, from Flanders south
to the Champagne. This Is believed
to be preliminary to great retro
ment.
From the North sea to Lens-con-
tInued stubborn resistance by tho
enemy, together with bad weather Is
slowing up the Analo-Beigian ad-
vance.
From Lens to LaFere-Vlolent
fighting Is under way north OF St
Quentin, where several villages have
been taken and retaken by the op-
posing armies a number of times.
The French lost TiIIoy farms, but
the British made slight advance
near LeCatelet. British troops also
made a small gain between Lens and
Cambrai.
From LaFere to Rhelms-The
French have carried their line north
ward to within a mile of the impor-
tant railway center to Neufchatii,
twelve miles north of Rheims.
The Germans are reported to have
set fire to Laon.
From Rheims to Verdun- ne
Americans, attacking between the
Meuse river and the Araonne forest,
have showed both wings forward In
the face of bitter German resistance.
The center Is being held by continued
enemy counter attacks.
The Franco-American advance in
the Champagne has progressed until
practically the whole Suippe valley is
in their hands. The Germans at their
nearest point are about seven miles
from Rheims.
Ralkans-The Serbians have occu-
pied both vranje and Debra, defeat-
ina Austro-German forces driving
them northward. The latter town is
near the Serbo-AIbania border, and is
east and slightly north OF Duarzzo.
The Austrians retiring before the
Italians in Albania are thus menaced
by a flankina movement from the
east.
The German retirement north Of
Rheims, which freed that city from
artillery domination for the first time
in four years is expected TO be fol-
lowed soon by general retreat along
the whole line from that region
northward into Flanders.
Unofficial reports state the enemy
has set fire to cities and villages be-
hind their lines throughout this area
Foreign military experts declare this
presaees a retrograde movement by
the Germans.
The present fighting which Is said
to be the heaviest of the war, Is re-
aarded as a gigantic rear guard ac-
tion to protect the retreat to new
defense lines which are not yet COM
p.etcd. The allied armies are maxi
ina their own answer to Gcrmany's
peace drive by attacking furiousiy
at every point on the battle front in
an effort to throw the Germans Into
confusion and turn their expected re-
tirement into great disaster.
Meanwhile the allies are pressing
forward In Serbia and Albania de
feating Austro-German reinforce
ments in the former country and
harassing the Austrian retirement In
the latter. Capture of Debra by the
Serbians, seriously menaces the east
flank of the Austrians-this place is
east and slightly north Of Durazzo

so badly about it, perhaps, but it was
adding insult to injury to call that
stuff tea" which with them is al
most a national institution.
Sometimes with this meal they
gave us butter instead of jam, and
once in while we had some kind of
canned meat.
This comprised the usual run of
eatables for the day-I can eat more
than that for breakfast! In the days

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

The best way to fail is to think
you are going TOTO imagine your
self unsuccessful-to worry!
Worry is lost energy. 1t travels,
but it never arrives anywhere at all.
1t cannot keep Monday from coming
after Sunday-but it will waste Sun
day in agitating itself over that fact
Concentrate your mind on your
headache or the pain in your tooth
or the throb of your cut finger and
see how pitilessly your suffering will
perform to order. Agitate yourself
over how you are going to meet the
payment on your Victrola, and,
whatever tune it plays, you will hear
Il owe $40" How am l going to get
it before Tuesday? Owe! Debt!
Worry"
Worry is completely destructive.
A glad heart truly goes the whole
day long, while the sad one tires in
a mile. Worry never acts as a tonic.
Instead, it conducts itself like a
sleeping potion.

on, and We used to have to stay un-

at $50 in the morning. a terrible
blizzard came up. Helen lived way
out in Westchester, and it didn't look
to me as if she'd get home much be-
fore l in the morning. / spoke to
her about it around o'clock. And
what do you think she answered?
All right, Mary, it may take me an
hour to travel home, or even a cou-
pie of them, but I'm not going to

sense of responsibility, can you?"
What l can Just see" is that Helen
Olsen didn't let her imagination run
away with her.

yourself out of it a burglar-armed,

Leftover Potatoes

There is no other vegetable for
which there are so many delightful
uses as for potatoe. 1t combines well
with other materials or it can be
used all by itself. Surely you are
not failing to make use of this ver-
satile vegetable.
Stewed Potatoes
Cut cold baked or boiled potatoes
into dice, put into a stew pan with
salt, tiny bit of onion minced fine,
and milk enough to half cover the
potatoes. Set on the back of the
stove and stew slowly, stirring with
a fork occasionally until all the milk
is taken up. Season with fat and
pepper and serve.
