poets Of victory have never been 50
bright as they are today. Six months
ago the rulers of Germany deliberate
ly rejected the just and reasonable
settlement proposed by the allies.
Throwing aside the last mask of mod
GRAFTON, they partitioned Russia. en-
slaved Rumania, and attempted to
seize supreme power by overthrow
ing the allies in final and desperate
attack. Thanks to the invincible brav-
cry of all the allied armies, il is now
evident to all that this dream OF un-
iyersal conquest, for the sake of
which they wanted only to prolong
the war, can never be fulfilled
But the battle is not yet won The
great autocracy of Prussia will still
endeayor, by violence or guile, to
avoid defeat and so give militarism
new lease of life. We cannot seek to
escape the horrors of war for our
selves by laying them up for our chill
dren. Having set our hands to the

Just and lasting settlement is achieved
In no other way can we secure

Between Muizon and Rheims,
where we are firmly established on

hard fighting
There was hot encounter at the
Valutes farm, close to Muizon for the
passage of the river. After its capture

"The artillery is very active on both
sides of this region.
West Of Braisne the enemy stub

JEW IN HIGH COMMAND

Monash valley, one Of the names
with which the Anzacs have enriched,
the geographical nomenclature Of Gal
Hpoli peninsula, was so called by the
men Of an Australian regiment in
honor Of their colonel, now Sir John
Monash, who has just been promoted
to the rank Of lieutenant general and
placed in the command Of British
army corps in France.
Sir John Monash has the distinc.
ton of being both the first Australian
and the first Jew to reach so high
position in the British army. The dis
tinction is all the more notable because
he comes from outside the ranks of
the regular army. His promotion has
been won entirely by merit, personal
qualities and technical abilities. Mon
ash was born in Melbourne on June q,
1865. and is thus fifty-three years Of
age.

HEAD OF GIANT BUSINESS

Who's Teagle? This was ques-
ton generally asked when it was an
nounced that Walter Clark Teagle
had been chosen president of the
Standard Oil company Of New Jersey,
the worlds greatest oil refners since
the disintegration Of the original
Standard Oil company. Aside from his
business associates and personal
friends few had ever heard Of Teagle.
He is only thirty-nine years old, and
his success in life has been due to In
dustry and the careful training Of hia
mind In absorbing infinite detail.
In Cleveland, where he was born
on May i, 1873, both he and his fam
lily were known perhaps as well as any
citizen Of that community.
Mr.. Teagle's father, who was Of
English birth, became interested in the
Oil business and it was in his fathers
offices that Walter Teagle as boy re-
ceived his first business inspirations
and instructions. He entered Cornell
