YOUNG FRIEND! IF GEORGE WASH INGTOk COULD RISE
 FROM HIS GRAVE

and see our cities at midnight lighted as bright as day, hear the whirl of the electric car, talk over wireless telephone, send a message Dy wireless to a ship far out at sea, examine his own bones with an X-ray, view the snowy fields. sunny plains and canals of Mars through tele- scope, take a flight from ocean to ocean ln an air ship, cross the ocean in a submarine, get run over by an automobile going ninety miles an hour-but whats the use going back a hundred years2 A system Of shorthand and bookkeeping twenty year- old is of but little use today.
 As the steamship has crowded oat the sail boat as the tYpe
 ~slter, the goose quill pen and faheberry ink, so nave the ia nous ByrGe s#r,ems of B5s'l- keeping ana Bus ness training and Shorthand taken the place of the old systems. The reason Is plain: these systems cut m halt the time and cost of be- coming an expert accountant or stenographer; they teach 6usI- ness as well as bookkeeping, they make 1t possible for the stu dent to graduate and begin earn ing while the student of the other systems is less than hall through his course; they give the student a better practical work ing knowledge, which means a higher salary.
 These practical, modern, time saving systems can be had in this section only in the Tyler Commercial College. You would not think of riding in an OK cart in preference to an automobile. Then why think of studying the old OK cart systems of account ing and stenography when you can get the Byrne systems which possess such wonderful advan- tages that they enabled the man. agement of the Tyler Commer, cal College to build the largest business training school in Amer lea, with an annual enrolment 0 more than 2500.

permitted to talk these, as we'll as other matters over with you. and has himself hinted to me the advisability of an exchange of transfers. This however, yWould be with the idea of the gradual absorption of your hell by my own. l am perfectly frank with you. You must realize my dear Lucifer, that you are getting old, You are not up to our modern methods, and when you wander around with your spike tail peo- pie only smile in a good natured way and murmer, Who the devil is he?" or II wonder what mis- chief Satan is up to now.
 You are all right for running a Kindergarten, but as the boss of real blood red, rip. snorting, con- cert pitch hell. you are mostly rabbit. You are altogether too easy. Why 1 understand you even shy at grease. You ought to have seen the way 1 cleaned them up in Belgium. Women first? We'll l guess yes. Any old way. We turned it into q patch of Bottomless Prussia over night. That ancient party who ran Wicks through Christians and Used them to light up his grounds was poor fish at thinking up things, We could show him few things that would make him green with envy. He never p0is- oned whole regiment with gas bombs and he never blew up and sunK q ship!oad of women and children with a torpedo from a submarine.
 You mean well. Lucifer, but you are a slow performer. Take a week off and come eyer to real hell. We will show you the time of your life and you can see what you are up against. You can discover why your proposi- ton to abdicate in my favor does not materially interest. How ever, am a real sport, and I'll tell you what I'll do; I'll play you a game of pitch to see whether you abdicate or 1 throw you out. In either event, you are welcome to a permanent home with me and I'll show you a hell of a time. There's no use of old friends quarreling is there, Lucy?
 Fraternally yours,

DEVILS PLANS ROOTED AT
 BY WILHELM IMP


 WilheIm's answer to the Devils letter of last week.
 In Berlin, Dec. 31, 1917. Imp. Lucifer Hotspur Satan:
 My dear Lucifer, or shall 1 call you Lucy for short? Your note of recent date came to our imperial hand. Your offer to ab dicate the throne of Hades in my favor would be interesting were it wholly serious; but conditions are implied that make it inadvis- able that 1 accept. 1 do not think much of Gehenna any how. It is a secondhand state at best and 1 would not care to live there permanently.
 As a matter of fact 1 have made a splendid start toward a hell of my own-We call 1t bot tomless Prussia. It has all the modern improvements. such as running hot water. red fire, cya- hide gas, calcium lights, wide open plumbing and vacuum clean CTS. At the present time we are getting practically all the busi ness and when it comes to Q ma ter of competition 1t is my oplh- ion that We would have you pushed off the map. To be per fectly frank with you We have considered the adyisahllity ot talk ing over your plant about the time it is ripe for bankruptcy You are not making expenses, while We are turning them away. Every body says that 1 am 8 much bigger devil than you ever dared to be and there's not a day gees by without my picture being ln the papers. You may once have thought you were a hell of tel- Iow, but you have nothing on me. Your place is back number and when the time comes We will move in and take possession, ii we think it worth while. It is not usual for Prussia to give warning or apology. We usually do things and leave 1t to history to explain, but 1 am telling you this because of our old time friendship, and also because l realize that you can do nothing to forestall or prevent our action. Abdicate in my favor? Why, you poor old stiff. you have nothing to abdicate. You couldn't float bond issue on your plant Tn a million years. In the commercial market 1t would be called junk You have a bunch of ancient HoorWalkers like Judas Iscariot, Nero, Annanias, Caliguay, Rich ard Il and Captain Kidd that are really driving business'awaV from the place. Talk about the Huns, Why l wouldn't let AaulIa brine my shaving water.

They are the boy who bring home the bacon aae they are filling our hetl with tai- lent of their own creation and de veIopment. Blu. while they ar finished performers, of course l am still the boss of the whole works. It is my genius and in spiration that has made our new hell possible. Hell without me would be merely a word. have made it a torrid reality. You may as well understand first as last that you cannot run a hel without some of our Prussian ef tieieney. In a competitive race with us you would probably bring up as second rate cold storage plant.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
AMERICAN TROOPS
LONDON TIMES CORRESPOND.
EMIT GIVES VIEWS OF U. S.
MEN AT FRONT

AMERICAN ARMY, FRANCE
After observing America at war for
the past month on a front consid-
erably wider than the half Of France.
the impressions gathered may have
some value Possibly the divisions
with which | have come in contact
may represent something slightly
over the average of the army, being
in certain cases those which have
proved quickest at learning their
Job, and have been able to draw
somewhat more largely than their
successors on the army nucleus that
existed in the states, but, on the
other hand, they have had the con
siderable disadvantage of working
as separate units from which the
united army of America will not suf-
fer.
The plain facts of the past months
fighting are that wherever the Ger
mans have met Americans the Ger.
mans have been beaten, though
possessing long experience of war
and in most cases considerable
superiority in numbers, and while
being able to inflict regrettable
losses they have always paid much
more dearly than have the Ameri
cans for victory. That is incontest
able. and speaks for itself.
My impression is that the Ger
mans will find in their new foes
men more resembling our Dominion
soldiers than the home-born soldier

OFFENSIVE HELD
UP BY RESERVES
OF THE FIRST DAY


LONDON, July 16.-The Germans
this morning contipued their attacks
against the French line in pursuance
of their offensive. Information IN
dicates the offensive remains held
up and that attacks, up to this morn
ing, had been nearly everywhere re-
pulsed with heavy losses. Adviees
received at noon said little change
had been created by the German Of
fensive. The attacks are conducted
by the forces of General Won Below
and General Won Bohm, who are di-
recting operations of the two armies
on the left wing of the German
crown prince group.
West of Rheims the enemy in
very considerable strength at two
places by way of the Marne railway
and country south of Dormans. In
this neighborhood they succeeded IN
throwing six bridges across the
Marne between Reuilly and Dor
mans, but at no point on this 25
mile front has the enemy pene
trated more than four French posi-
tions.
Great numbers of German corpses
are hanging on the tangle barbet
wire in front of the French posi-
tlons and all reports state the losses
of the Germans must have been ex
ceedingly heavy
