Dinners Do No
Sell Goods

The American habit of buying many
drinks, of giving big dinners, is often
looked on suspiciously over there, and
little things like that may ruin good
deal l remember once in Dusseldorf,
Germany, many years ago, in talking
with the head of big firm of steel
product buyers, the man told me about
town and at once gave banquet to
him and his friends-something gor-
geous in the way of banquet. "The
next day the salesman came around to
sell, and / cut his prices down." related
the man, because l figured that firm
able to throw money away on banquets
must be making big profits and could
sell much cheaper than quoted prices"
We accept good-naturedly the pc
culiarities of people whose ways are
NOT our ways, and try to use our wits
to accomplish our end just the same.
Many, many years ago I was selling
harvesting machinery in Germany.

WHERE GERMANS
WILL ATTEMPT
ANOTHER STAND
Hindenburg Line is But one
Part Of Defense System
Huns Have Prepared.

With the American Forces in
France. Sept. 2S.-(Correspandence
OF The Associated Press.)-Where the
German army will endeavor to make
its next stand once the whole Hin
denburg line is definitely abandoned Is
now g big question in the minds OF the
intelligence officers OF the American
army. Information has reached them
showing that the Hindenburg line Is
but n element, Of a multiple system
of defense work6 which the Germans
have CONSTRUCTED across northern
France. The cities OF Lille and Metz
lines of resistance. The two cities are
enormous entranched camps and are
the extrernities Of a series Of curved
lines one inside the other.
The first of these lines was the Hin
denburg system now crumbling be-
fore the Allied attacks. Back Of this
is a second German line Of resistance
which is called here the Hunding line.
Possibly the Germans may endeavor.
to stem the tide Of defeat by standing
upon that line. It starts from south
Of Lille, extends from the western out
skirts Of Douai, passes east Of LIE
bank Of the Disc and the right bank of
the serre, bends back toward Sis
some, follows the northern bank of
the Aisne to southeast Of ,vouziers.
Thence 1t extends southeast along the
base Of the sinuous st. Michel salient.
Behind the Hunding line Is a third
system known as the Metz-Lille line.
It starts at the Scarpe river about
eight miles east Of Douai, crosses the
Escout river, passes through LIE
Cateau and west Of Avesnes and Hir-
sen. covers misunderstanding and
Sedan, follows the right bank of the
Meuse. defends Briey and Contains
Jarny and virtually rejoins the Hin
denburg line at Pagny-sur-Moselle.
Finally, the elements of a fourth
line of retreat exists, running from
valenciennes to Givet. on which the
Germans also were reported recently
as being hard at work.
These principal lines are, natural

for a retirement from Belgium, the
Germans had prepared three success

broken by the Allied advance and the
third will b~esreached in a few days.
At 1.-THE beginning of the Allied at
tack October IA there were eight di-
visions in the German first lines.
These were reinforced by seven new
divisions, but the new divisions al
ready were exhausted and were Of
little help. During the night Of Oc-

Russian front were thrown into the
battle, but their strength had been
greatly, reduced and their morale was
weak. The seventeen divisions have
lost heavily in prisoners, Killed and
wounded.
