7. St. Quentin, the censer Of the
Hindenbure line between LaFere
on the south and Cambria on the
north. appears to be doomed.
French units have reached the
Disc river between verdeuiI and
rraveey, while the British seem to
be in a position to launch blow
along the line to the north Of the
city which will make a German re-
tirement from the place imperative.
Already ST. Quentin appears to
have lost its tactical value to the
Germans, The Somme canal, one
of the integral parts Of the de-
fenses Of the city, now IS under
direct fire Of the allied guns. while
the railroad lines must be under
constant homhardment.

A little boy at school saw his teacher
faint and fall. In the confusion It was
impossible to keep SO many heads cool,
and the little ones tlocked round the
PROSTATE lady and her sympathetic col
leagues. But this small boy kept both
his color and his GOODNESS.
Standing on bench and raising his
hand, he exclaimed: please. teach
er, can ! run and fetch father? He

which greeted this unconscious humor
reused the teacher from her short

the circumstances were explained to
her afterward.
