shows buoyancy upon the part of the
Americans which means high morale

The Germans declared repeatedly
before American troops arrived that
they would be ineffective against Ger

IN America was busy with the same
allegation. 1t was prosecuted vigor-

America would have to take part in
the struggle.

one of the great munitions centers of
the eastern United States. Its growth
has been of the mushroom variety,
which has marked the development
of most munitions manufacturing
towns. Originality Eddystone was
modest, even isolated community,
taken under the placid guardianship
of the Delaware, with no more pre-
tension to note than a couple of
wooden mills and a boathouse or two.
Nest of its inhabitants were English
mill workers, or the descendants of
emigrant weavers from Nottingham
who founded the colony in the eight
zenith century. and a few boatmen liv-
ing in the cottages by the river front.
A few years back, the Baldwin Loco
motive works established a plant at
Eddystone and brought to the hamlet
a drove of it's mechanics and laborers.
Some time after the outbreak of the
European war, the plant was turned
into a munitions factory which led to
still further influx Of workmen from
Philadelphia, Chester, Wilmington
and other places. Then the Reming-
ton Arms company built it's factory
there, to be followed shortly by the
Midvale Steel corporation, and the
transformation of Eddystone was
complete.

The difference in tactics which the
commanders of the opposing forces in
Europe have exhibited can hardly fail
to interest even the unmilitary OBJ
server of the progress of the war
From the beginning of hostilities the
German plan of action has consisted
Of fierce rushes of large bodies of
troops on single sector with the evil
dent intention of breaking thru the
allied line. Up to the time that Mar
shall Foch took over the supreme COM
mand of the military forces of the al
lies, the commanders of these forces
had pursued tactics similar to those of
Hindenburg and Ludendorf. Now all
has been changed and Marshal Foch
In the past week has attacked the
enemy on almost a continuous front
extending from Rheims to Ypres, a
distance of approximately $50 miles
without any apparent effort to break
thru. His movements seemingly are
intended to wear down and pinch off
bits of the Hun army. The new tao
tics are being crowned with success
The enemy continues to retire, now
here and now there, all along the
line, losing heavily all the time in
men and material, not to mention
morale. The smashing blow which it
has been promised Marshal Foch
would deliver at some future time may
be nearer than has been expected,

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH rHoNPsoH.

am a girl eighteen years old and
am in love with a boy about two
years my senior. ! do not believe
would want to marry this boy. He
says he Is going to ask me to marry
in two years. But do not want him
to marry any, other girl. L have not
seen him in about three weeks. What
would you do? Do you think he is
quitting me?
1t looks as IL the boy were losing
interest, or you would have heard
from him in three weeks time. Do
not take your relationship with him
too seriously. If you lose him, take
your loss philosophicaily and know
that there are a lot more boys left
and you are going to enjoy some OF
them.
Probably you are holding too tight
reins on the boy. You certainly want
him to be happy and If he could be
happier with some other girl, you
should be willing to let him. 1t is
very selfish to begrudge his marriage
to another. He probably feels your
attitude and does not like 1t.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think
a girl sixteen years old is too young
to have boy friends call at night
A girl of sixteen is very young to
receive boy callers in the evening.
Sometimes, however, her parents do
not object and then II she lets a boy

is older before she entertains boys

In these days of advancing prices
and high cost OF living, Topeka has
cause. for pride and congratulations
all around on the fact that there will
be no advance in the city tax rate
next year. While maintaining the tax
levy at last years figure, the city COM
mission has been able to provide for
considerable increases in the salaries
of its employees and also for needed
improvements. The situation calls at
tention to the fact that our municipal
affairs are in the hands of a business
like administration. The people are
getting what they pay for and there
is no evidence ofWaste or profligacy
anywhere. This year has seen the
carrying out Of a number of impor-
tant public improvements and still
others have been provided for. A
number of substantial bridges have
been built and the money for others
rs on hand. This business-like con-
duct of the city's affairs Of course is
no more than our right, but we have
so often missed it in the past that it
seems worthy of more than passing
notice. Let US give to our commits
sioners the praise which is due to
good and faithful service.

Ing gum.
In the past year the allies have
made rapid progress in developing
their high-power bombing planes. In
the early part of the war the Germans
claimed and are admitted to have had
the advantage in the air. The Yep
pelins were undeniably successful. But
the Germans, either thru lack of ma
terial or false optimism. have remain
ed satisfied with a few standard makes
and have allowed the allies to get
ahead OF them. Since the German
offensive at Picardy on March 81, the
allies have held the advantage in the
air. Their machines are better, their
fighters better trained. This is be-
cause they have not stuck to a few
models; they have constantly built
new ones. So rapid has been the de-
velopment in aeronautics in the allied
countries that one type OF aeroplane
becomes obsolete in a single year.
What the allies know about aero
bers of the Italian aviation corps are
in this country showing American
manufacturers how to make italian
war models; plans of the newest
French types have been turned over to
the American government, and a new
British motor. which carries a ma
chine to an altitude of $4,000 feet and
gives it a speed of $50 miles an hour

country. In addition to these ready
made facilities at our disposal, Ameri-
cans are applying their own inventive
genius to the manufacture of aircraft
In the next six months hundreds of
planes will be ready for shipment, but
will there be sufficient shipping
space? There seems to be a great deal
Of doubt concerning this, but appar-
emily very little concerning the FEAST
bility of a transatlantic flight. If
the war lasts thru another summer
we may yet deliver American aero
planes in France on their own power.

The low water pressure which has
existed in the past week has been
charged to the alleged incompetency
of Superintendent Shaw. Commits
sioner Newland also has been blamed
for not putting a more competent man
in Shaw's place. Does anybody be-
lieev that a more capable man for
the job can be obtained for the sal
airy which the superintendent is now
receiving? Probably nothing will be
done to improve the water service IN

astrous fire. 1t is certain that talk

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds OF men In
Americas Fighting Service

Alert. fearless, efficient, the story
of the armed guard is always the
same. Harry r. Chambers, chief gum
ner's mate, United States navy. was
in command of the armed guard on a
vessel when it was attacked by ar
enemy submarine. The subma rine
came to the surface at a distance of
1000 yards from the steamer and
about two points abaft the port beam.
The ship swung from port to star
board and the submarine launched
four torpedoes, two missing the bow
by about twelve feet and two barely
missing the stern. The port gun of
the steamer went promptly into ac-
ton. The fourth shot hit the coming
tower Of the submarine as 1t SUBJ
merged. A heavy black smoke rose
over the U-boat from the explosion
of the shell.
Chambers has been recommended
by Secretary Daniels for his efficient
conduct. He enlisted at Philadelphia
on June IS, 1915. His mother, Mrs.
Mollie Chambers, resides in Atlanta,
Georgia.
