AN AMERICAN OFFENSIVE.

AS first attempt their account entirely, the
drive began by the Americans yesterday decided
success An advance of eight miles at point on
tweny-me front and capture of 5000 prisoners is
showing Of which boys may well feel proud. The
drive demonstrated the trench system of warfare is
failure and that the trenches easily taken as any
other defense systems. The Americans went through
The German defenses with but little trouble the cavalry
penetrating the enemy territory for distance OF ten
miles, That this could be done indicates the German
strength behind the lines is not great Yesterday was
but the beginning of the offensive under General Per-
shng and it will be several days before the force of the
drive can be made felt in it's fullest strength 1t is up to
Hindenburg to stop this drive and stop it quickly or his
retreat to the Rhine must take place at once To check
the Americans he must draw the line north and If this
is DONE is safe to say Foch will stick probe into the
weak spots left
1t is according to the eternal fitness of things that
the Americans who were forced into the war by Germany
should be the first to carry the onto German terri
tory With Pershings drive successful the fighting will
soon be carried onto German SOIL and this will do more
to stir the German people to frantic peace propaganda
than any other one thing could possibly do With Per-
shng properly supported it looks as though sue
cessfu break through the German lines could be made
that would throw the whole German armies in France
and Belgium into turmoil of retreat 1t would seem that
the opportunity has arrived for clearing the territory
south and west Of the German boundaries of the kasers

:: THE WIFE ::
By JANE PHELPS

where large orders had been taken
so making it imperative some one be
on the spot while they were being
carried out.
What would Brian say when he
learned all these things. When he un-
derstood that part of her job was to
go wherever she was sent, either alone
or with one of the firm She smiled to
herself as she thought of the entirely
[ detached way Mr.. Mandel had treated
/ her; just as if she were a man on a
business errand with him. Then her
lip curled ever so slightly as she
thought that Brian held her so lightly
as to think she would have consented
to go with anyone save on a strictly
business errand. But her seorn did not
last. She loved her husband too dear
lily.
"He's a great, big goose" she NUT
tered lovingly, then went to sleep.
Ruth had come back from her bust
ness iaunt with Arthur Mandel in a
most pleasant glow of feeling for her
employer. Now she had an unpleas-
fant remembrance of Brian's remarks,
of his jealousy, and insensibly it ting
ed her manner with Mandel.
Then, too, Ruth could not help but
see the worn, sometimes disheartened,
look in Brian's face, and her own
good fortune made her heart ache for
him. In spite of his extravaganza
with the theater tickets he had brought
home less than usual, the last month.
And altho she had said nothing about
it, she was sure he felt hurt and al
most embarrassed when with her, be-
cause of it.
"I want to make a name for my
self in the profession" she had con-
fided, one evening when her work had
gone particularly well and she had
been praised by Mr.. Mandel.
$50 that / can be known as Mrs.
Hackett s husband, / suppose, " Brian
had replied with bitterness, causing
Ruth to bite her lip with annoyance
that she had spoken, and to resolve
more earnestly than ever to keep every
thing connected with her work to her
self
"Yet, it doesn't seem right not to
be able to talk things over with one S
own husband" she said as she ling
cred in the kitchen a moment after
Mrs. Crawford had gone for the night.
81 do wish he felt differently" f"
But Ruth and Brian were not un-
happy, nor were they at cross pur-
poses all the time. They had many
happy days into which there crept no
mention of business, and in which they
happily went out together or had some
of their friends in to play bridge with
them.
"Your husband does not approve of
your working. Why?" Mr.. Mandel
had asked, anent something she had
said.
81 think he had conscientious scru-
pies or something" she replied, en-
barrassed, "He, like most men, thinks
women should stay at homes" she
wanted to add, "and wash dishes -

BRIAN SPENDS 81 FOR THEATRE
TICKETS. RUTH is DISTRESSED.
CHAPTER XXI.

CHAPTER AAAl.
Seven dollars for two seats to q
showl 1t seemed dreadful, when they
had so little to spend for luxuries
Ruth could understand economy when
applied to other things than food and
clothes. Those two items were the one;
which, at her aunt 5, never had been
restricted. But amusements were few
anl far between. An occasional play
at the old theater, and later a movie
which cost twenty-five cents, were a.
bout the limit of amusement possibili-
ties in the town. The young people
danced at each other s homes in good
old southern style, the boys playing the
banjos or other instruments, save when
the niggars took that part in the en-
tertainment so that the boys might
dance. Of course everyone rode horse
back and played tennis, but as for
spending seven dollars for tickets when
he needed other things Ruth s
thoughts halted. 1t was Brian s own
money, what right had she to criticize
him for spending it as he ehose9 She
would expect to spend her S as she
wished.
So it was with a bright face that
she asked.
care they good seats, dear?"
"They ought to be. They cost e.
nough," Brian growled, yet he smiled
triumphantly at Ruth when they were
ushered to two Of the choicest seats
in the house.
"You can get anything you want,
if you pay for it, he whispered as
they sat down.
"Yes, it is nice to have plenty of
money" Ruth replied, hiding her
smile. "We shall be able to go to the
play often, this winter, and perhaps
occasionally to the OPERA
The raising of the curtain stopped
the remark Brian started to make
but did not prevent the scowl from
appearing on his face at Ruth's i'm
plication.
Ruth gave herself up to the enjoy
ment Of the evening. Brian, too, seem
ed to be having a good time, if one
could judge from the frequency and
spontaniety of his laughter. After
ward, they went directly home. Moth
ing more was said of Ruth S trip with
her employer, and Brian was soon fast
asleep. But Ruth could not so easily
lay aside her anxiety. Someway, she
felt afraid, Had you asked her Of
what, she would have had no answer
ready. Brian's unreasonableness, as
she called it, had affected her greatly;
then, his causeless jealousy had shown
her side of his nature she had only
dimly suspected. If he were going to
develop into a jealous husband, she
would have anything but happy
lime.
She recalled what La Monte had
told her of the times when Miss Can
dee was sent away without notice to
be gone several days; of long trips
taken in the interests Of the business;
of protracted remaining in the places

Whatever else may be said of the primary nominat-

So far the allied offensive has peculiar, in that
the Germans wanted to retire and General Foch was en-
Gagged in making the retirement as costly to them in men
and supplies as possible Had they been let alone they
would have been back the Hindenburg line nearly
month ago, but they would have had half million more
men than they have now. Evidently the Germans are
going to try to hold their old ine and this will test the
peneTalship of the allied commander 1t is up to him to
say whether the trench system be abandoned and the
Hun lines crushed or another winter of watchfu waiting
be put in along the frontier of France We miss our guess
