PLACE FOR EVERYBODY.

The United States government is
reaching out for a great number of
camoufeur recruits, and it will be
pleased to hear from those who are
expert in making objects seem differ
ent from what they actually are. In
the French army there are said to be
$4,000 such artists, and the opinion is
freely expressed that the United
States should have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the services of as many more,
says Christian Science Monitor. Stage
settlers, circus side-show painters, re-
tired dime-museuIn operators, people
with a genius for lending enchantment
to the view, near or distant, the man
who can make q cannon look like a
tree trunk, or a trench look like an
innocent irrigating ditch, will probably
be welcomed by the committee on ma
tional defense. There is place in
the nations service for everybody who
is willing and able, and the first-ctass
faker, apparently, is going to have an
honorable place in the war.

It was well for us to recognize and
to try to escape from our own limi-
tations even while we take an tndul-
gent attitude toward the limitations Of
others. Those others we can see so
plainly. Their limitations fairly OBJ
trude. They must be themselves, even
as we must be ourselves. The tone of
each individuality must go sounding
through the years. Is there not GER
tain pathos here? If we feel it, we
must find it easy to make allowances.
With those we really care for we, as
a rule, have little or no trouble. We
may even enjoy the little betrayals of
qualities in themselves not attractive
Some such sentiment must be felt by
q mother for her children, even for
those children that occasion the most
anxiety.

New Machine Gun Tripod.

Light in weight, free from the eff
fects of vibration and permitting of
rapid and free movement of the gun
In any direction, recently perfected
type Of machine gun tripod promises
to extend the field of the present wea-
pom. This tripod Is provided with a
ball and socket joint head, permitting
the gun to be freely moved in any di-
rection. To lock the gun lever Is
given a slight turn, while the gun may
be held at any angle in the clamp in
which it rests. The new tripod can be
readily carried about and 1t Is an ideal
weapon for use in u motorcar or mo-
torboat, and as an anti-aircraft piece.
In fact, 1t lends itself to all the GUS
tomary uses of the machine gun, with
many new ones besides.-Scientific

At the beginning Of the week the;
Germans, finding they could not make
much progress toward Bethune, at
the south part of their salient, because
of the stubborn resistance of the Brit
ish at Givenchy,, Festubert and LOGON,
turned to the north and undertook to
flank Ypres by driving the British
from the Bailleul-Neuve Eglise, Wul-
Observation-Disclosures line. For two
days the attacks of the Huns were
beaten back with fearful slaughter,
but then Field Marshal Haig was COM
PEELED to give ground and retired from
part of the famous Messines ridge, at
the same time drawing his lines nearer
to Ypres. There was still higher
ground at his rear, however, and his
generals and men displayed n cheerful
optimism that cOntrasted with the de-
preston caused In England and, to a
| considerable extent, in America by
what looked like serious reverses.
| Not for minute did the men who are
doing the fighting admit that they
were beaten or could be beaten by any
forces Hindenburg could bring against
! them, and though the Hun, when he
had taken Bailleul, was within "a
miles of Dunkirk, they still had no idea
of permitting him to force his way to
the coast.
In the effort to reach the La Bassee
! canal and take Hazebrouck, the enemy,
after intense artillery preparation, at
tackled along the front from Meteren
to Robecq, but was repulsed at almost
every point and sustained heavy
losses. The allied artillery was espe-
cially effective here and east of Be-
thune and the Germans found 1t al
most impossible to bring up their
transport trains.
On Thursday the enemy resumed
his attacks in the Bethune region
across La Bassee canal near LOGON
These were swept away by the British
artillery and machine-gun fire and
large numbers of Germans were killed
Again and again the Germans re
newed the attack, using more thar
125,000 fresh troops on the 12-milt
front between st. Venant and Given
chy, but each time they were thrown
back with appalling losses. Frencl

At the end of another week of the

ever known, the British army was still
it's lines still unbroken.
Overwhelmingly outnumbered in Flan-
derS, Haig's men We're forced to give
up some important positions, and east
of Ypres they withdrew from the bulg-
ing PasSchendaele salient before the
enemy observed the movement, and
Strengthened and shortened their de-
fensive line so that it was much
stronger and more secure. Meanwhile
French re-enforcements arrived to as
sist the British, the commanders hav-
ing decided that the Flanders offensive
was not merely a diversion. To the
south, on the Somme and the Aisne,
the French had been stoutly repulsing
every attack, and 1t was predicted
that the time was near when General
Foch, the allied commander in chief,
might be expected to start his counter
offensive. Though they were still
bringing fresh divisions into the bat
tie, it was figured the Germans must
be approaching the point of eXhaus-
ton, when return blow would be
most effective. Indeed, it did not
seem this blow could be much longer
delayed, for the British, though their
spirit and courage We're undiminished,
were sustaining continuous attacks by
an enemy which was immensely superb
or in numbers and was under leaders
whose disregard for life was utterly
reckless.

BASKETBALL GAMES

George Washington University
may have basketball, after all. The
champions Of last years District In
tercollegiate League are expecting
faculty action on basketball before
long, and Indications point to a con-
tInuance Of the floor game for the
winter at least.
Some time ago Manager Charley
Allen threw a bomb into the ranks
of the District intercollegiate Bas-
ketball League by announcing that
the Hatchetites would withdraw from
competition on the floor. The death
kneIl of the organization was sound
ed, as no other team could be found
to take the place OF the G. w. u.
men.
Since conditions at c. W. U. and
other colleges have materially
changed, due to the demobilization OF
the s. A. T. c. units and the readjust-
ment OF courses, there is every hope
that basketball win be put on the
map.
Manager Charley Allen is optimistic
over the outcome OF the faculty de-
eision. The fact that the faculty has
consented to give another decision is
taken to mean that the floor game
will be open for C. W. L. this season.
With the Hatchetitcs in line. there
will be four teams for the District
League, and II is expected that Prof.
c. Edward Beckett, of the Y. NJ. C. A..
who IL president OF the circuit. will
call the District college teams to-
gether again.
Owing to the rehabilitation process,
the teams will rest until after the
holidays. II is not unlikely that the
basketball squads will be called to-
gether before the Christmas recess.
