Mystery still attaches to certain ex-
plosive sounds, heard in various parts
of the world and known to science as
"brontides" ON the coast of Belgium
these sounds seem to come from the
sea. and are called locally "mistpoef-
fers." In the Ganges delta If India,
similar sounds are called Barisa!
guns" Brontides are well known IN
some parts of Italy, where they bear
a great variety of names. In Haiti d
sound of this character Is known as
the "gouffre." while in parts of. Aus.
tValia IL is called the desert sound"
RrontideS mostly take the form Of muf-
lied detonations, of indefinite direction
Probably they are of subterranean or.
igin. Studies of eccentricities in the
transmission of sound through the MT,
mosphere lead to the conclusion that
some of the sounds hitherto reported
as hrontides were really due to can
nonading or blasting Sci

FRENCH DISPUTE EVERY INCH

TOLL OF ADVANCING HUNS.
Enemy Attacks on Approximately
Twenty-Five Mile Front.--Americans
RepuIse Hun Attack in the
Marine Sector

paris.-In a new thrust, directed at
the sector between Mondidier and
Noy0n, the Germans have succeeded
in gaining ground along about
twenty-mile front to depth of about
two and half miles at certain points,
according to the war office announce
ment.
The fighting was very heavy and the
French offered powerful resistance
to the multiplied efforts Of the enemy
and finally succeeded in checking the
advance, particularly on the two
wings.
The feeling of confidence evident
made that the Germans had resumed
their offensive seemed justified by
statement that the enemy's attack on
the approximately 22-mile front had
succeeded in advancing a bare four
miles at one point only, and then at an
appalling cost. Everywhere else, the
statement said, the Germans We're be
ing held.
Attacks by the Germans in the
Marine sector have again been repulsed
by the Americans, who inflicted heavy
losses ON the enemy.
A new German division, the Fifth
Grenadier guards, was identified by
the Americans for the first time on
Saturday.
1t is understood that the entire
American force participating in the
second battle of the Marine will be
decorated by the French government.

SERBIA RIPE FOR ALLIED AID.
President Advised Now Is the Time
to Extend Helping Hand.

Westinghouse is ripe for
allied Intervention of the right sort,
President Wilson has been told. Men
on whose Judgment he has heretofore
relied have laid before him plan
whereby the allied armies are to be ac-
companied by economic missions to
restore order in the country as the
armies march ahead.
1t is further understood that the
president has been deferred from Civ
ing his assent to these plans because
of the opposition of the state and war
departments.
The state department is understood
to be standing out for the observance
of punctillous procedure with re-
gard to Russia. The war department
is understood to be solidly behind the
zone front" idea and to discourage
any suggestion that tends to weaken
allied effort on the battlefields of
France.

A GOOD SUGGESTION
Miami Metropolis)


With fifty years of fine service for
his country and his state and his
home folks written fair upon the re-
cord books, Editor Frank Harris
"Nestor of the Florida press" has
sold his paper, the 0cala Banner, and
retires from active newspaper work.
In those fifty years of newspaper
publishing in Florida, Mr.. Harris has
seen many thingss and has taken a
hand in many good fight. He re-
tires possessed of experience and
knowledge that are priceless and his
friends are happy to know that he
also retires possessed of vigor and
unimpaired faculties that have kept
him young in spite of the years he
has lived and worked.
Now that Mr.. Harris is not reuuir-
ed to handle daily duties in a news
paper Office, it is to be hoped that he
will take time to write his memoirs
of Florida. Such book would not
only be of great historical value but
would be certain to be of exceptional
literary excellence and interest.
Unless Editor Harris is planning to
do something like that, he cannot be
spared at all from his newspaper
post.

the scale of his operations as his
ability-he had entire armies to
handle where Lee had only brigades.
Stonewall Jackson, Joseph E. John
ston, Grant and Sherman, showed as
much military genius as any Euro
pean general except Napoleon. There
may be scores of Fredericks, Lees and
Napoleons in the immense battles of
this war. And if any one of the great
generals of the past was brought to
life and sent to the western front, he
would hardly be able to fill more than
private's place until he had studied
war from the standpoint of the pres

When the ability of modern gen.
erals is judged by what they have &C.
complished, the candid historian
must admit that Frederick the Great
of Prussia deserves the palm. In the
Seven Years War he had against
him greater odds than any command
er since the masses of Persia were
hurled against Greece. Next to Fred
erick should stand our Robert E. Lee,
and next to Lee may be placed Napol-
con. In 1874. when Napoleon's last
campaign against Austria, Prussia
and Russia began, he had just about
such force in proportion as Lee had
fifty years later when Grant made his
first advance on Richmond. But Ma
poleon was crushed in a few weeks
and had to abdicate, while Lee fought
for eleven months. Neither Frederick
nor Napoleon defeated such great
odds as Lee and his men overcame at
Fredericksburg and Charlottesville
or the series of battles from the VIII
derness to Petersburg. Napoleon's
fame as general rests as much OF.

A special to the Miami Metropolis
says: CAS- the result of an opinion
just rendered by Attorney General
Van c. Swearingen, railroads of Flor
ida owning land for speculative pur-
poses and not used in connection with
the operation of the railroads must
give in such property to the county
tax assessors and not to the state
railroad commission as has heretofore
been done. This, when carried out, il
is claimed, by the state tax commits
sion, will result in putting on the
assessment rolls many thousands of
dollars worth of valuable property
which has escaped taxes, for in giving
in the road taxes to the state railroad
assessment board the value of the
lands was not added to the value of
the roads,"

Sometimes the best way to put an
end to the need for a curfew law is
for the self-respecting boys and girls
to take hand in the matter. Let
the boys and girls at school and out
of school create a sentiment against
unchaperoned young people, and il
will go long way toward protecting
the reputation of nice folks.-Miami
Metropolis.
There is mighty little use in cur
few laws. No city can afford to pay
enough policemen to enforce them.
Such sentiment as the Metropolis
recommends, however, is something
that nobody can evade and only nat
ural born outlaws will defy.

The Star is sorry for boys and girls
who are sent to reform schools. And
it is sorry for them not on the basis
of sentiment but on that of common
sense. Most of them are children who
would be good if they had been
brought up in good homes with pro-
per surroundings. There is great
deal of stuff handed out about char
acter, but there is not so much diff
ference in the average, character OF
normal people. Environment has far
more to do with building character
than character has with shaping the
course of peoples lives. Most of the
children sent to reform schools are
the children of people who are either
unable or unwilling to give their boys
and girls proper training. Mostly for
the former reason, for in our big
cities are millions of families who in
the struggle to keep the wolf from
the door are simply unable to protect
their children from temptation. A few,
months, not to say years, on the
streets OF any city or moderate sized
town will teach a child more wicked
ness than it will unlearn in a life
time. Then when the child goes to a
reform school, it must learn to be-
have as well as the child from a good
home, without the basis of good be-
havior that good home only can
teach. And they have not the help
that is extended on every hand to the
more fortunate children. No matter
how kind their custodians may be,
they are to certain extent jailers,
and it is human nature to try to
break the rules and escape from any
place OF even the most nominal con-
fnement. Of course, it is to the in
terest of the children to obey the
rules and help the state in it's efforts
to rebuild their characters, but they
do not understand this; and we can.
not blame them when we remember
how many children with every oppor-
tunity and inducement to go right are
not able to understand. Also, we are
sorry for those who have such chill
dren in charge. Popular sentiment is
against them. and they are generally
considered as more or less brutal. The
public but dimly understands the diff
ficulty they have to contend with.
When they try to do right, only the
most sensible of the children can un-
derstand them; If, provoked beyond
human endurance by the bad behavior
of some of their charges they are too
severe, they are condemned by every
body who has no idea of what thew
have to contend with. Reform schools
are like almost everything else that
society has so far instituted in deal
ing with evil-they deal with the
branches of the tree. Humanity must
begin at the beginning and cultivate
a healthy growth in which reforms
will not be necessary. And it is not
going to be wise enough to do that
for quite little while yet.

DUTY is AMERICAS
NEW DRILLMASTER

There is no flare of trumpets, no
blast of whistles nor ringing words
of command to mark the presence,
but the orders are none the less in
sistent because of that absence. For
duty's voice has reached the heart of
every patriot and the call 'aTo Serv-
ice" is heard and needed.
Millions of Americans are showing
they have donned the uniform of serv-
ice by preaching the patriotism of
service, generous, untiring and COM
plete. So many new and unexpected
things have happened within the last
twelve months, that many of US are
bit confused and tempted to think
in the old way that the country is so
big and rich, it does not need our
support and can get along without us.
In preaching the message of duty and
service, we are doing the best posi-
bic work toward dispelling that fall
lacy.
The country does need our help,
duty demands that we give it. And
the government has provided the
means for each of us giving our aid.
Such a means is offered through the
medium of war savings and thrift
stamps. Each one of us can play
worthwhile part by saving a little
each week and investing in these
stamps, which pay an unusually high
interst rate and which can be redeem
ed at any time. So small a sum as
rs cents obtained by the thrift and
economies of a child, will purchase
stamp and will soon multiply into an
interest bearing security. 1t is our
duty to teach our children this and to
encourage them to save and to invest
in the stamps as much as it is our
duty to set them the example.
