beautiful natural wave and curliness has
resulted, and the effect will last many
days. even in damp weather.
The liquid siimerine is very beneficial
and is not sticky or greasy. Neither does
it streak the hair or stain, the scalp. You

thoroughly from roet to tip.'-Adv.

in the Balkans is broken, while in
France it is estimated that one
quarter of the German artillery has
been captured, and about that per-
centage of the electives put out of
the fight.
The capture of Durazzo was a
very brilliant feat. Italian and
allied warships steamed into the
harbor, disregarding mine fields and
shore guns, sank the Austrian fleet
hiding there, and destroyed the mil
itary works of the port. At the
same time the Italians from south
ern Albania were making forced
marches over the intervening hun
dred miles of wild and roadless
country. They drove the Austrians
out of the mountains and took the
city before the enemy could rally.
The fall of Durazzo completely
frees the lower Adriatic of the Aus
trian menace, and paves the way
for an invasion of Austria itself.
Italian troops are also fighting
magnihcently in France. They hold
the lines in the Champagne north of
Rheims. Fighting side by side with
the French they took the important
city of Sissone, east of Laon. 1t
was largely due to the Italians that
the German offensive at Rheims in
July was stopped dead in its tracks.

Germans either had not time to de-
stroy or they are needing the words
of President Wilson. Present indi-
cations are for stand by the Ger
mans on line of defense drawn
from Antwerp south to Metz, This
will enable them to retreat in bet
ter order to the frontier defenses
of Germany which would seem i'm
minent.
The present dazzling allied sue
cesses in the Balkans has had GER
tain spectator on the German side
who must feel the irony of the sit
uation keenly. That person is Field
Marshal Won Mackensen. Yet, in
the working OF the destruction of
Germany, it is altogether fitting that
Won Mackensen should suffer first
He began his military career some
Is years ago by numbering four
French women who trusted him.
The present war gave him unlim-
tied opportunity to develop all the
Prussianism that there was in him.
1t is said that even the Germans
hate him. He directed the overrun-
ming of Serbia, and boosted that he
had utterly crushed that small coun-
try. A year later, he destroyed
Roumania in the same manner, and
in 1917 he superintended the Capor-
etto disaster which so nearly sent
Italy to ruin. But the Italians turn
ed the Germans back at the Piave,
and General Byng with his tanks
at Cambria showed the Germans
that they did not dare to take their
troops out of France. Mackensen,
therefore, was sent back to the near
east to wiring food and money out
Of the helpless people, and leave the
western front free to his rivals, Hin
denburg and Ludendorf.
When the present Balkan often
sive started Won Mackensen tele-
graphed frantically to the kaiser for
more troops, but got in reply de-
mand to furnish soldiers for the
fighting in France. Hindenburg's
lines were crumpllng under the
blows of General Foch, and every
available soldier was needed to
stiffen the defense. So, with a
handful of troops scraped together
from Roumania, Mackensen rushed
to Sofia, trying to stem the rush
but he was too late. Bulgaria was
whipped, and out of the war, when
he got there, and the Austrians
were in wild retreat, with German
units leading in the flight, while
the Serbians, Italians, French and
British were hotly pursuing the
broken army. Mackensen ground
his teeth, but could do no more, as
he saw his Serbian conquests slip
away-as Uskub,-then Nish,-then
Durazzo, fell to the Italian armies
and their allies, and the way into
Austria was opened.
The black areas on the general
map show the extent of the allied
gains in 1918. They mean more,
however, than just so much terri
tory taken. The German resistance

Behind the lines there was great ac-

would raise our curtain of fire
as If in an actual attack. All
down our trenches the men would
shout and cheer, and Fritz would turn
loose with machine-gun, rifle, and
shrapnel fire, thinking we were COM
ing over.
After three or four Of these dummy
attacks his nerves must have been
near the breaking point.
On June "a, 1918, at 9:40 in the
morning our guns opened up, and hell
was let loose. The din was terrific, a
constant boom-boom-boom in your ear.
At night the sky was a red glare.
Our bombardment had lasted about
two hours when Fritz started reply
ing. Although we we're sending over
ten shells to his one, our casualties
were heavy. There was a constant
stream Of stretchers coming out Of the
communication trenches and burial
parties were a common sight.
In the dugouts the noise Of the guns
almost hurt. You had the same sensa-
ton as when riding on the subway you
enter the tube under the river going
to Brooklyn-a sort of pressure on the
ear drums, and the ground constantly
trembling.
The roads behind the trenches were
very dangerous because Boche shrap-
mel was constantly bursting over them.
We avoided these dangerous spots by
crossing through open fields.
The destruction in the German lines
was awful and I really felt sorry for
them because I realized how they must
be clicking 1t.
From our front-line trench, every
now and again, we could hear sharp
whistle blasts in the German trenches.
These blasts we're the signals for
stretcher bearers, and meant the
wounding or killing of some German In
the service Of his fatherland.

patrolling the different trenches at
night, but after awhile got used to it.
My old outfit, the machine gun COM

dugouts about four hundred yards be-
hind the front-line trench-they were
in reserve. Occasionally ! would stop
In their dugout and have confab with
my former mates. Although we tried
to be jolly, still, there was a lurking
feeling Of impending disaster. Each
man was wondering, If, after the
slogan, "Over the top with the best Of
luck" had been sounded, would he still
be alive or would he be lying "some-
where in France" In an old dilapidated
