FALL OF STATUE
BELIEVED CAUSE
OF WAR VICTORY

London. - People of Albert,
France, are convinced that their
prophecy has been fulfilled when
the famous statue of the Madonna
at Albert fell the war would end
in a victory for France and her al
lies. This quaint conceit grew out
of the fact that the statue was dis
lodged by German shell fire from
its perch on the tower of the
church at Albert during the first
mad rush of the Huns through
France in 1914. The base of the
statue was so shattered that it
hung over theNroad from Amiens to
Bapaume, which passed the walls
of the church.
The statue remained in that
strange poise after the Huns had
been rolled back by the battle of
the Marine An effort was made
to brace the statue in its recum-
bent position so that it could not
fall until the tower itself gave way.
When the British line was driven
back in March last the Hun again
entered Albert and when the Ger
mans retired at the beginning of the
allied offensive the tower with its
statue had fallen. This, curiously,
marked the high tide of German in
vasion. From that day on the Hun
hordes were pressed back. The
people of Albert believe luck of the
Germans deserted them when the
virgin of Albert was fell.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a
girl nineteen years of age and knew
a young man when | was in col
lege who was five years my senior.
We were good friends then, but he
never told me that he loved me.
Since we left college, which was
seventeen months ago, he has join
ed the army. l have not seen him
since, but heard from him while he
was in camp, and have heard on an
average Of once or twice a week
since he went to France. Still he
has never mentioned love to me.
l thought he would come to see
me before he left and tell me that
he loved me. | really love him and
would like to marry him.
Do you think he loves me? What
shall | do? | have a friend who is
very anxious for me to become en-
gagged to him, but / love this boy,
but remember he has never men
toned that he loves me.
ANXIOUS.
There is a possibility that the boy
loved you, but was not in a po-
siticn financially to tell you so.
When he entered war he could
hardly do so, becasue he had moth
ing to offer you. Many boys re-
Trained from becoming engaged be-
cause they did not want the girl 70

serious and lasting injury to them
selves.
Wait for the boy you love. II
would not be honorable to become
engaged to the other, knowing that
you cared more for someone else.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl twenty years old, and have
a man friend in camp who is TWEEN
ty-one. We corresponded for
long time-almost ever since he
went away two years ago. l got
letter from him in March. l an
swered it, but got no answer, and
so l wrote again and got no an
swer. did not write again.
Recently | got very nice letter
from him asking me why / did not
answer his letters last spring. He
said he wrote me three times and
got no answers. He asked me to
answer his letters.
Thinking he had not received my
other letters, wrote again and he
did not answer.
Do you think he never got my
letters and that is the reason he
did not write? We were very good
friends before he went away.
think he has changed camps. for
in his letter he said he would not
be there long.
His folks live in this town.
Should l ask them his address and
write again? IN LOVE.
You should judge the situation by
your knowledge of the boys char
acter. II you know him to be hon
orable and not inclined TO lie out
of difficulties, give him the bene-
fit of the doubt. 1t does seem
strange that he did not receive any
of your letters. but of course such
a thing is possible.
1t will not be long now before he
is released from service and re-
turns home. Do not write again;
wait until you see him to talk over

the depot to take a train and ar
rived at the spot where the hold

were confronted with a big, black,
