Indian Summer.

The term Indian summer" is APP
piled to a period of mild, open weather
that comes in the fall, embracing the
most of October and sometimes exe
tending into November and character:
lied by a sort of dry mist or haziness
that differentiates it from other sea-
sons of the year. What causes the dis
tinctive features of the season, espe-
cially the hazy atmosphere, is I'M
known, and the origin of the term
equally so. Different explanations
have been given of both, but they seem
to be largely fanciful.

Finding the Ship at Sea.

When the captain wishes to find the
position of his ship he makes num-
Der of determinations of the altitude
of the sun with his sextant, bringing
its reflection down until it graZes the
horizon. The suns place in the sky
is continually changing, and every al
titude means a corresponding local
time. He notes the difference between
his time and the time of the port he
left, or that of Greenwich, and he has
his longitude BY q slightly different
manipulation OF the same figures he
finds his latitude. A skillful person
can locate a ship within quarter of
mile of its true position.

being made, but how could he get 80

ter's reply was: 81 had no 4 ut the

GERMAN PRESS DECLARES
RETREAT IS NECESSARY
Attempts to ReaSsure Public,
French Papers Comment
on u, S. AirpIaneS

PARIS, aug. 19.-(Havas Agency.)-
The German press is attempting to re-
assure its public that a general retreat
is necessary on the western front to
allow General Ludendorff room to ma
neuver and to assume the initiative on
a vast scale, the newspapers here say.
A German retreat, they say, would be a
direct result of the recent allied sue
cesses. The newspapers assert that
even if the Germans receive reinforce
ments from Austria they have lost the
power to command events as Marshal
Foch has the initiative and will keep it,
German propaganda insists that the
German general staff will retain the
initiative by forcing premature engage
ments on the American army, thus
wearing it out before fully prepared.
L'Eomme Libre says that the Ameri-
can forces taking part in the Picardy
offensive could not be compared in size
with those of the French and British.
1t says that America will soon have.
f1rst-class army in France and that it
will have airplanes which the German
aviators will have reason to fear.

CLERK IS CHARGED WITH
LO0TING SOLDIERS MAIL
Local Postoffice-Em pIoyeAl
Apprehended = Damaging
Evidence Is Discovered

A continued systematic theft of money
from letters addressed to Camp Gordon
soldiers is thought to have been broken
up through the arrest on Saturday by
the local postoffice inspection depart
ment of Willis Lumpki Webb, a sub
stitute postoffice clerk, who, it is said,
was apprehended while in the act of
rifling two pieces of mail matter con-
tanning stamps and money, and who is
reported to have confessed to previous
thefts after $3.50 in currency had been
discovered concealed in tobacco tins in
his wardrobe locker.
Webb, who had been under Surveil-
lance, had access only to Camp Gordon
mail. On Saturday, it is said he was
observed to be examining letters appar
emily to ascertain whether they contain
ed currency. When arrested two special
delivery letters are said to have been
found in his pockets, together with two
81 bills, New York exchange for 500
and a book of stamps which he is said
to have admitted purloining from en-
velopes he had destroyed.
In his locker two ostensibly unopened
tobacco tins were said to have been
found. The waXed paper inclosing the
contents appeared undisturbed, but when
the cans We're emptied it developed that
both paper and tobacco had been re-
moved and the bottom of the tins lined
with bills totalfng $3.50. webb, who was
been lodged in the Tower without bond
pending a hearing before United States
Commissioner Colquitt Carter, is said to
have confessed that most of this amount
had been stolen. Webb'S home is said
to be in East Point.

Sergeant Made Officer
For Trench Suggestion

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, July 14.-(By MaiD-A GER
tain American General wanted a sup
port trench dug across a flat spot in an
American sector.
The trench would be two miles long
Ordinarily, it would have been easy to
dig. This time it wasn't. German guns
dominated the place and the first nights
work would be followed by a heavy
enemy barrage which would cost Ameri-
can. lives.
The general and his staff were dis
cussing the problem. An American en-
cheering sergeant was with the group
as guide. He could hardly control
his interest in the work. Finally, he
had to cut loose.
Il beg your pardon. SIR" he said.
It's not military for me to speak, but
if you'd give me a thousand men to-
night, I'd have that two miles of trench
in tomorrow morning, before the Heinies
know it,"
The general smiled and asked the SER
geant how he would do it. The sergeant
was ready with an explanation.
That night a sergeant was in charge
of a thousand men, or rather, his plans
were being followed. The thousand
doughboys went out after dark. Each
group knew exactly where to go and
where to begin digging under direction
of officers. They dug speedily, and
quietly and every time a German flare
went up they dropped to the ground or
stood perfectly still.
Not German gun was fired in that
direction during the night and it wasn't
because the Germans, didn't have their
guns ready.

LUDENDORFF MUST
RETREAT OR THROW
IN MORE RESERVES
Foch'S Policy Of Creating
Pockets and Forcing Great
.NumverS' of Huns in First
Line Shown in Latest Thrust

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The essential
instability of the German front in the
west is again demonstrated by Marshal
Foch's sudden thrust between the Las
signy and scissors battle fronts.
This is one of the most important
sectors to which Ludendorff must cling
if he is resolved upon preserving his
present position in Picardy and along
the Vesle. Meanwhile, Marshal Foch s
easily accomplished lunge means that
Lndendorf cannot. count on holding any
single area in the west end; in fact,
has entered strategically well into the
grip of the allies relentless initiative.
The new advance made by the French
is highly dangerous for Ludendorff be-
cause it marks the beginning of a wedge
which threatens to make a new pocket
in Picardy and at the same time create
another salient north of scissors on
top of the old Marine pocket Luden-
dorff must desperately resist the con-
tinuance of this maneuver, or admit his
intention to retire still farther toward
Belgium and Germany. If he decides on
resistance, more troops must be found
for the first line operations, which
means a further depletion of Germanys
sadly wilted reserves.
Marshal Foch has the Germans back
ing into an increasingly hopeless posi-
ion. 1t is impossible for them to retain
possession of their present trench mile
age while Marshal Foch continues his
incessant local drives and at the same
time assimilate reserves to serve
against Americas forthcoming major Of

JAPANESE RIOT ON
SCARCITY Of FOOD
AND LOW WAGES
PopuIaCe Rises Against Prof.
teerS-NewSpaperS Protest
Order SURPRISING News,
Cause May Be Political

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Food riot
ing in Japan threatens to develop into
political revolt unless prompt steps are
taken by the Toxic government to pro-
vide rice for the population, according
10 the unofficial view here today.
German agents may be working
among the masses to stir up disorder BIZ
taking advantage of the profiteering sit
uation which is rapidly becoming acute
there. AEti-anneXationists who are
strenuously opposing Japan's plans for
Intervention in Siberia are also believed
10 be squirting the people on to bold
steps which might unseat the present
ministry
Officials here were reluctant to draw
any conclusions from the rioting re -
ported III ali parts of the island empire.
That abe germ of class revolution may
be spreading to Japan is regarded posi-
bic.
Japan's political system has not modi-
fed greatly n recent years and the
democratic ferment of the western Eu-
rOpean nation is becoming stronger
there, especially since the war began
and the democratic nations have be-
come more closely associated with ia
PAN
Details of the rioting are arriving
several days late. but latest informa-
ton here attributes the immediate out
break 10 the food situation. Profiteers
in rice have cornered the market and
are hol ling the price beyond reach of
the unIerpaid classes.
War industries in Japan as here have
thrived under the demand for NUM-
tions and the wealthy have grown more
wealthy as the poor find it hard to
meet the rising living costs.
Rioters are reported TO have stoned
homes of the wealthy, breaking into
restaurants and rice depots and attack
lrg the seisha girls as they rode through
the streets.
Predictions are freely made here that
a social crisis is fast approaching.
State department officials attributed
the outbreak entirely to the desperate
food situation in Japan. Rice has prac-
ticaIly doubled in price since the war
began and wages have continued very
low Japanese spectators have been
boarding rice TO force a higher price and
the government is greatly concerned
over their actions. Steps to break up
the rice trust have already been taken.
Among them is prohibition fexporta-
ton of rice. Measures against rice
speculation may be taken and it is al
most certain the government will buy
vast quantities TO distribute TO the peo-
pie at cost
officials scout the theory that pro-
German or Bolshevik activities are re-
sponsibIe for the uprising and declare
that Socialistic thought is entirely alb
sent in Japan. There is no political
significance in the outbreak, they say.
Through the strong national military
police the government probably will be
able to hold a strong hand over the
masses and shortly put down disorder,
officials say.
