new blow.
From Amiens and Montdidier the line
now turns at sharp angle TO the east,
following the line OF the Disc and the
Aisne to Noyon and scissors. 1t Is
likely the Germans will deliver a sec
ondary attack along this line to attract
the allied reserves away from the CEN

an advance on Paris.
This attack, however. is not likely to
develop into a threatening offensive.
All things considered, the heaviest

their biggest forces and their heaviest

LOBBYISTS AND PASSES.

It will be generally recognized throughout the country that the order which has been issued by the director general of railroads, that the employ nent of all lobbyists and the issuing of free passes by the railroads must cease, is founded upon good judgment, That the policy of all roads did not make this order necessary can be be- lieved but it has been made general that 1t may include those who are still resorting to such practices and that any cases which might have been overlooked by designating those roads which are known to be thus engaged will be included hereunder.

America went up to the schoolrocrn fifteen minutes early ostensibly to cut some ration heaters into three inch Nngths for the men in the trenches, but really his purpose was to watch Giacomina knit on 8 khaki colored sweater. He wrote down in his geog raphy notebook, slip under, put over, take off," and holding pencil and q pen in the outside aisle he practiced with imaginary yarn. When he real ized that she was gazing at him with a mocking eye, he went to the work table and began sharpening the knife for the attack on the ration heaters.
 Just then Miss Black called Gia- eomina to the table to help Minnie cast on. America deserted his work and walked very gently to Giacom- ina's desk, where he picked up the sweater. The needles slipped into his hands. 'Slip under, put over, take off, he muttered. He twisted the yarn about his finger and before lie knew what had really happened, he found the stitches moving from one needle to the other.
 Gee, this is a cinch," he said. t
 He glanced toward the work table. Miss Black was entirely surrounded by little girls, who~ were clamoring for help. He took two stitches more and then. before any one had seen him, he slipped back to his cutting of the ration heaters.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

Just at the present time the local authorities are busy enforcing the pro- vision of the law which requires lights on all vehicles. It is matter which has received too little attention in the past, people have grown careless in it's observance and because it had not been enforced there are many who are being caught and fined for failure to respect it Lights on autos and other vehicles using the highways are necessary to insure safety. It is i'm should be lighted that others may have warning but it is equally inapor- tant that those making less speed should carry light as a warning to those who may come upon them quick lN. But respect for this ee well as other provisions of the law is some thing which should be constant and not spasmodic,
 That there is too much earelessness in this respect, more from the stand point of the yiolator than from the enforcement of the law. is pretty well set forth by the report which was made to the Hartford aldermen by the chief of police of that city to the ef- feet that there were 2ss arrests there in three months fer nea ebserYanee of the auto law and in addition 15l for violation of the traffic regulations It ought to be understood that laws are not made for the purpose of hay, ing them dAeregarded but when the, are not lived up to there is nothins else to expect than prosecution. I every user of the highway recognized his responsibility there would be, iittit trouble of this character. But as lens as they persist in doins as they pleast there Is nothing to do but enforce tn jaws and keep persiS.ently at t.
