found out afterward that this
man was divorced and living
rather unhappily with his second
wife. So perhaps, little book, his
opinion was slightly colored by his
experience.
1t seems that when one lives so
closely with discomfort as is nee
essary to two people married to
each other, 1t is very difficult to
keep a sane outlook and a clear
judgment on each other. Folks
who are living In domestic felicity
are apt to think the institution of
marriage a generally satisfactory
one. Those who live in an atmos-
phere Of discomfort or discord are
pretty sure to regard the marriage
ties as the chatting thongs Of
bondage.
Happy married people, little
book, 1t seems to me, think all
other married people happy. Dis
contented married people think
there are no happy people, married
or free.

Paris, Sept. 11.-Between the Somme
and the Disc the French have ad-
vanced beyond Hinacourt, despite
strong enemy resistance. according to
the war office announcement.
Near Gouzeaucourt and Havrincourt
the British pressed little further to-
ward Cambria in the former region
after having put down counter at
tacks. To the south the French, from
the district west of st. Quentin south
ward to the western side Of the st.
Gobain forest, have pushed eastward
toward the Disc river, which they are
virtually upon all along this front,
with their.flanks now resting danger
ously near both st. Quentin and La
Fere.
st. Quentin now stands only little
more than three miles away, while La
Fere is SO closely encroached upon
from the west and outflanked from the
north that seemingly it must soon fall.
In their latest endeavors. the Fran
co-American forces have made some
slight progress in the face of the ex-
tremely stubborn resistance Of the en-
emy. Likewise, In the sector east of
Scissors the French and Americans
have gained additional ground between
the Vesle and Aisne rivers.

Haig. commander-in-chief of the Brit

"The enemy has now spent his ef-
fort"
The order of the day follows:
"One month has now passed since
the British armies, having successful
ly withstood all attacks by the enemy,
once more took the offensive in their
turn.
''In. that short space of time. by a
series of brilliant and skillfully execut-
ed actions, our troops repeatedly de-
feated the same German armies whose
vastly superior numbers compelled our
retreat last spring.
What has happened on the British
front has happened on the front of
our allies less than six months after
the launching of the great German Of
fensive, which was to have cut the
allied front in two
"The allied armies are everywhere
advancing victoriously side by side
over the same battlefields on which,
by courage and the steadfastness Of
their defense, they broke the enemy's
assaults"
Field Marshal Haig added that the
capture of $4,000 German prisoners
and 750 guns in the course of four
weeks fighting showed the magnitude
of the British achievement, and adds:
yet more than that has been done.
Already we have pressed beyond our

YOUNG MEN FOR WAR

day that the success Of the war de-
ponds upon young men Is in line with

the Civil War S44,S91 were II years
old or less and 2,159,79S were between

army were properly referred to as the
"boys In blue"
1t would hardly be fair to say that
the best soldiers are youths, but II Is
undeniably true that in given NUM-
Der Of the population, such as con-
scription laws comprehended. more
good soldiers will be found below rs
than above 1t. This is not due to ply
steal strength alone. 1t proceeds also
from spirit as OF generosity, idealism
enterprise and the fighting instinct.
Every army needs middle-aged men
either as a stedying element in the
ranks or as officers, and these are
freely supplied in our case by volun-
tcering. The objection that our youth
Is being exposed to disease, wounds
and death is the argument that should
sustain us in the struggle upon which
we have entered, its purpose being to
put an end to such tragedies forever

The cutting edge Of the difficulty Is
that children make such extreme de-
mands upon our moral nature.
II would not be so hard II we could

And then, how they call upon our

And how also do they reveal to us
our ignorance.

EARNS IA CENTS A DAY;
HAS WIFE and BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his "unfailing"
sense Of humor.
Take, for Instance, the case Of q
man from Lille, soldier, Waeltele by
name and only twenty-three. He had
done pretty well, for the youngster had
already his own printing shop In that
northern French town, which is still In
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and
he was sent to hospital at Grenoble.
There he was considered incurable,
and after the usual three months of
treatment he was granted his IA cents
day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor, "My son, you can perhaps cure
yourself II you will live In the noun
tains, If you will eat plenty Of nour-
ishing food and, above all, If you don't
worry"
WaeItele should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking Of hIs baby
and hls wIfe-and HE Il cents. "Don't
worry!" Tho humor Of Il entirely e.
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped in. He
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Gross money
for just such cases, and within few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
He was sent to the mountains at La.
mure, In the French Alps, happy In
the knowledge that his family was be-
ing cared for by these amazingly kind
Americans.
And now the army doctors words
are coming true. Waeltele's lung is
healing fast, and he is dreaming of
another printing shop and Of living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of tuberculosis in France since
the war started, and to care for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread is merely one of the big Jobs
the American Red Cross has set out to
accomplish.
