Mark Twain's FAMOUS Character

Mark Twain's FAMOUS Character
Made Good In France
"You can't always tell how young
stcrs will turn out when they grow TO
manhood, says Nine. Clara Clemens,
who, though well known singer, is
a mother tcrself and ought to know;
"but anybody would know that my
father, Mark Twain, wouldn't devote
so much time and attention to Tom
Sawyer if he weren't a real worth
while fellow.
And recent events have proved the
wisdom Of his Judgment. Private
Tom Sawyer. has helped to win the
war and las been recommended to
General Pcrshing for bravery.
II read about him in the last issue
of the Stars and Stripes, the official
publication of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. At midnight, un-
aided and unaccompanied,h he left the
American lines, crawling on hands
and knees until he reached the Ger
man lines Then he had to cut
through The barbed wire fence which
marks the line with an instrument
which made harsh noise, fearing
every moment that the noise might
attract the attention of some watch
full Boche, who would Immediately
send him to join the angel choir. But
nothing happened Tom Sawyer
worked his way through the wires
and found himself in the land of the
Hun He went on a. little further and
found himself in a dense forest. So
far he hadn't sighted living SOUL.
but he did sight. some machine guns
and cannon, and, though he wasn't
able to take them back for Uncle Sam,
he did succeed in putting them into
such shape that they'd never sing
their hymn of hate again. After
going on d little further and gather
ing the information he had been sent
to get he was about to return, when
suddenly he ran right into half a
dozen of the Huns. Tom Sawyer
admits that his heart skipped several
! beats and he didn't take a breath
! for what seemed at least ten minutes,
when, much to his arlazement, they
fed with ere accord, muttering Der
Ameriixauer'
SO Tom Sawyer has made good
81 always knew he would, declares
Nine Clemens.-New York Herald.

Cold Knees and Feet

A tall, ! ewerful soldier in the uni
form of Il Scottish Highlander board
ed a streee car in Toronto the other
day and excited considerable admira-
ton, especially among the women.
He sat lin seat opposite young
man and his sweetheart. Though
her escort was very attentive to her
the girl could not resist casting sly
glances st the soldier in the pic
tufesque Scotch uniform, whose bare
knees shone just below his kits. The
young man noticed the girls chances
and CLEARLY showed his annoyance.
Il think that uniform is most II
diculous," he said in sarcastic tones.
"That fellows knees look as if they
were frozen
The Scotchman heard the remark,
and, glancing contemptuously at the
young fellows civilian clothes, he re-
piled:
'fWell, young man, it's sure thing
my knees aren't as cold as your feet. -

Todlay's War


Austria's offensive against the Ita.-
ian front has been checked for the
moment IL not brought to complete
failure. Fighting has ceased in the
mountains from Lake Garda to the
Piave where the allies broke up tho
first enemy blows. Along tho Piave
the Austrians have been unable %
advance from the western bank Of the
river.
Despite months OF preparation and
a etupendous preliminary lombard
ment, the Austrian attack in the north
on the Asiago plateau and between
almost at it's inception before the stout
resistance of the French and Italians.
In a counter-thrust the Italians Mon
day regained several positions in the
mountains.
Around Montel1o. just below whore
the battle-line reaches the Piave, the
Italians hold their positions await
ing further efforts but the enemy
made no attacks there Monday. The
enemy command Is recognizing its
shattered units.
Between Zanson and Fossalta. a dis
lance of less than three miles. the
Austrians succeeded in crossing the
river after having been defeated in
efforts to debouch north and south of
these points. Zenson is east of Treviso
and IL the Piave line should break
while. the northern line holds, the
Venetian plains would be open to the
Rome, however, in it's latest state
ment reports that all the Austrian ef-
forts to enlarge the gains on the west
ern bank between Zenson and Fossalta
have been checked by counter-attacks.
Prisoners taken by the Italians,
French and British now total 5000.
The latest report from Vienna
makes claim Of no marked gains ex-
cept the capture of Capo SHE on the
west bank of the Piave south of Fos-
reported as 1900 W.
Emperor Charles is reported to be
in the southern Trentino directing the
offensive and dispatches from Switzer-
land say that thousands of troops are
being ent into the Trentino,' further
Austrian effort undoubtedly may be
expected. @
Activity on the front in France con-
tinues Of O minor character. German
efforts to drive the French from their
new gains around Hautebraye, north
west of scissors, were repulsed by the
French who increased their captures
to $40 prisoners. Small raids have been
carried out by the Germans against
British positions In Picardy and F1an-
ders.
American positions northwest Of
chateau-Thierry are being bombarded
heavily with gas shells and there are
indications that the enemy may again
try to drive the Americans from Bel
leau wood and other territory recently
gained. The enemy artillery fire also
