Frank A. Vanderlip, according to the Boston News Bureau, said recently: Tn French trench shell ex ploded Every in that trench went down, save one the young officer in charge. That man stepped up onto the firing bench and looked out and saw coming toward him charge German soldiers man loved France in his very soul He could bear to see an- other foot Of France taken away He turned to those men lying in the trench and shouted Dead men, get up! And, stunned and wounded as they were enough of them got that they manned the guns, drove back the enemy and held the trench for France And feel that Liberty is going to say all of up dead men! Wake up! So feel in your souls what your duty is that you do the superhuman thing Get up and fight this war'-Minng Journal

A SIMPLE REVIEW.

Three months and half ago Ludendorf struck the first blow in the German offensive of the season. We have therefore come to the half- way mark in the campaign of 1918. Last year weather conditions were so unfavOraDle Tn Aug ust and September as to paralze the British ot- fansive in Flanders. A repetition of climatic conditions of last year would preclude any major German success after September first. But in any event it is no exaggeraton to say that we are at least half way through the storm and stress of this critical year. What is there then to be said of German achievement, actual and relative? Three months and half ago the best and greatest trained German armies that had taken the field since the days of the Marne cam- paicn commanded by more experienced officers and vastly better equipped for contemporary warfare, struck the allied lines between the Disc and the Scarpe and scored one of the notable vic tories of the world war. Yet, despite their init ial successes, the victorious Germans were pinned down almost at the edge of the old devas- tated district of the Somme, with the road to Paris still barred and with the union between the British and French arme smainIained Thus the first battle of the campaign ended far short of any decisive result. Less than three weeks later, second and lesser German blow was struck in Flanders which resulted in local gains of some magnitude, but success was purchased at so heavy cost that the Germans have not been able to recover from their loss. And every time the enemy has tried to make headway, if he made any at all, it was at such cost that the gain was not worth the price. Since then, the United States has landed million men, half of that number on the firing lines. Conclusively, and while it may take some time, the war can- not be of long duration at this late day The Germans will be crushed by the soon to be allied irresistible forces.

raving over the Injustice"
 We are not inclined to believe that this was the only reason; and if we were to examine her record, the chances are very much in favor of finding that in many occasions the girl was late. But supposing it had been the first time; would she have stood shaving of her days wages when the company paid her? Unless she is an exception to the rule, she would not. Besides, what about the person whom she re!ieved' All wage earners now days want pay for every min- ute they work, which is right. In this case the company was made to pay twice for three min- utes of that time. This would not be considered if such would occur only once or twice in a week, say; but when it occurs often with many employ es, the whole counts at the end of the year. Elm ployes do not look at it in that light. It is a one-sided affair with them. Right here in our office, we have had employees who took all the way from one to ten minutes and more, every day of the week, yet they invariably stopt work on the minute. Now, had we kept count of the minutes lost, and had deducted the amount at the end of the weeks, there would have been hell to pay. That there are unreasonable and selfish employers need no answer but no more so than there are employees. The trouble is we look only at one-side-our side. How much better it would be for harmony's sake were we to adopt the ifty-ffty plan of give and take.

plains in the Navy have been ap-

IN the Army at present is something
more than seven hundred. And the

the applicants, and many who are
already overseas laboring among lads
new at the horrible game Of war,
have given up pastorates wherein the
remuneration was twice or thrice as
much as Army or Navy affords. The
Red Cross, which has asked the coun-
Gil for chaplains. and has been fur

work 500 a month and allows 100
francs for expenses. D.,
Recently the Red Cross requested
the council to recommend as many
as twenty-five ministers each month
for this purpose. Some OF them, as
a special request. were to be between
forty and fifty years of age. There
was an effort also to prevent any
minister with German name. or
whose father or grandfather were
German, from Red Cross chaplaincy.

hAQ gone wrong. II was
quiet place. with the dusk
deepening into dark. and the woman
obviously on the lookout-halted a
passerby to know II she happened to
have a piece of string.
White cotton tape is cheap, strong
and handy. SO the passerby paused to
pull the drawstring from her linen
handbag. And while she was about
it. the man excused himself with the
irritation that goes with being
caught:
This is the first time I've come Off
without the tool box. and Of course
something had to break-darn it!"
The lady of the automobile pro-
tested so that the tape woman would
guage. The tape refused to be
shocked. but put in a word to the eff
feet that the machine looked all
right.
you never can tell. Automobiles
are like men; all of US look pretty
works that makes the difference"
The string filled the bill and after
the little bubble Of thank-you's and
dont-mention-it's, the tape woman
passed out of the incident into the
Capitol grounds and across to the
Library, where she filled out card
for a book.
Naturally, you prefer an aisle seat
in the reading room, especially these
warm evenings. but an aisle seat was
what the woman wouldn't have got
that time except that two men arose
from couple of end seats and went
out together. They were nice. or

set down as being in. say, the ham
and cabbage class, which means
good and wholesome commonplace
ness, without the least trimmings in
the way of literary frills. So:
You know how you hate to have to
knitting bag at home and twiddling
thumbs out of fashion. And as inn
personal curiosity Is all right, any
how, even IL 1t does kill cats. the
woman took up the book the aisle
man had left to see what could have
interested him enough to come into
a library-unless he was a lonesome
man-when he might go Off and blow
himself to good time with a soda
and breeze.
1t was a bound magazine that told
how to build bungalows and garages
and mission furniture, and how to
make the artistic most of chimney
corners and dens and all the other
dear tomfoolishness that makes you
hunger for home, with deep
shelved pantry to row your jars on
and fence line to divide your gar
den from next door-the woman was
already talking over the fence to her
neighbor as to the surest method OF
canning without sugar, when q clerk
broke up the party to say that dear
Horace Walpole was visiting with
another reader. So the woman hand
ed another card over the counter and
filled in the wait by finding out IL the
other man was as domestic as Mr..
Home Sweet Home. He was not.
He preferred Egypt. along about
42I B. c., before paleolithic folks
generated into Lybians and the like
all illustrated with mummies and
gods and tombs and everything.
Which shows how dead right the
tool-boxless man was in his diagnosis
of automobiles and humans.
We are all about alike on the out =
side. It's the inside works that makes
the difference.
