WHAT HAPPENED
SINCE SUNDAY.

To take up the story of what has
happened from the moment on sun
day when temporarily the German
advance was checked on all fronts.
is perhaps the easiest way 10 explain
the present situation. ON Sunday
afternoon the Germans i'm French

represented hy three sides of a
square. To the south the British
we're ON the high ground east and
west Of Bethune pounding the Ger
mans in the Flanders along the Us
valley. Ten miles TO the north the
British were occupying the high
ground south OF Ypres along the
ridges that run from Messines TO
BauleuI Westward the German ad-
vance had touched the edge of the
great forest OF Nieppe. which is "a
low living boEEy woodland-an adj
mirable obstacle covering the road
to Hazebrouck.
AT this moment the situation en-
tireiy reproduced that before Amiens
two weeks before. when the German
thrust upon Amiens had beer halted
by the converging fire of the French
west of the Avre and the British
west OF the Ancre. Unless they
could escape from the northern
salient by breaking in one or the
other sides, the German advance was
checked and most military OBJ
servers believed that the check had
come But the Germans turned
north and assaulted the British along
the high ground from Bailleul &c
NIessines on Monday and took Bail
leul. On TUESDAY they stormed the
rest OF the Messincs and White
sheet" ridge In doing this they
broke out OF the northern side oil

WHAT OUR DEFENDERS COST
At Home 1t Is 1927 ana Overseas $42s
Year for Each Man in the
Service.

Statistics have been collected by the
clothing and equipage, subsistence,
conservation, reclamation and hard
ware and metals division of the quar-
termasters' corps, United States army,
to indicate just what 1t costs a year to
maintain a soldier overseas and in the
United States.
These, according to the Army and
Navy journal, show that the cost Is
$423.47 year to equip and maintain
soldier overseas and $3277S TO equip
and maintain one in the United States.
Subsistence, figured at GO cents day,
amounts to $25185 yearly for each
man overseas; figured at 81 cents a
day in the United States, it amounts
to $lS9.S0. The cost OF the initial
equipment for the soldier the first year
In the United States is $11530, while
the cost Of his additional equipment
for the first year overseas is S42.4l.
Thus it appears that IL the soldier
going overseas did not take with him
a great deal of his equipment already
supplied in the United States the con-
trast between the cost of equppiug
and maintaining a soldier in this coun-
try and abroad would be much more
marked. Not only is the amount Of
equipment needed abroad greater than
that needed in this country, but the
statistics Of the conservation and re-
clamaNon division show that equip
ment ana clothing overseas are subject
to much harder use, wear out more
quickly and are less effectively re-
claimed than similar material, cloth
ing and equipment used in the United
States. The amount Of reclamation Of
each individual soldiers equipment in
this country is $3.50 Il year while the
amount OF reclamation Of similar ma
terial abroad is but S33.31.

Ostentatious Words.

Why cannot scientific persons who
undertake to be informing 10 the pub.
lie learn to display their learning less
ostentatiously and 10 convey their
meaning more intelllgibly? One health
authority tells us profoundly that "an-
orcNia" also Is present with Spanish
influenza. We take this, from the die
tionary, to mean loss Of appetite,
which really would not be n bad thing
these days; but unless it is assumed
that nobody but medical men are to
have the disease, it might be well 10
give the miscellaneous lay public a
chance to know what may all it.
