Got Employers Days Income.

A woman who was for many years
a housekeeper in the family of the
late Alfred B. Nobel, the Swedish
founder of the Nobel prizes, was leav-
ing to be married. Mr.. Nobel wished
to reward her services and asked what
she would like for wedding gift,
saying that he would be glad to give
her whatever she asked. After con-
sulting with her fiance, the woman APP
preached Mr.. Nobel and said she had
decided what she wanted, but doubt
ed whether she would get it.
$50 ahead" said the rich dynamite
maker; II told you to ask for what
ever you wished"
"Will you give me your income for
one day, then, Mr.. Nobel?"
1t took IL men to figure it out, but
the housekeeper received for a we'd
ding present the sum of $2S,00O.-

Qons of War.

The canine department in the French
army is a command in itself; its four
footed recruits are enrolled almost
more carefully than real soldiers. They
have an official record, number, an
identity plate, and are never lost sight
of. The dogs already have their roll
of honor. Several have been cited In
orders for having saved whole COM
panies by their sagacity; others have
enabled surprises to be brought off as
well as avoided. AS liaison agents
they are invaluable, while as ammuni-
ton carriers they are practically in
dispensable. While few of them can
never get used to shot and shell, the
majority quickly get as case-hardened
as old soldiers. A dog carrying mes
sage through terrific barrage fire has
been seen blown into the air, to come
down with thud that made it sense
less, to remain stunned while, then
pick itself up, give itself good shake,
and resume its journey.

Jonah Vark.

Well AL one of the burgs along
the line is where Jonah Vark was
born when she was alive. It seems
like France was mixed up in another
war along about one hundred years
ago and they was getting licked and
Jonah was just young gal but she
dressed up in mems coat and pants
and went up to the front and led the
charges with horse and she carried
a white flag and the Dutchmens or
whoever they was fighting against
must of thought it was flag of tru-
ants and anyway they didn't fire at
them and the French captured New
Orleans and win the war. The Ger
mans is trying to pull the same stun
on our boys now and lots of times
they run up and holler Conrad like
they was going to give up and when
your back is turned they whang away
at you, but they won't pull none of
that stuff on me and when one OF
them trys to Conrad me I will percu-
late them with bayonet.-Ring W.

JUST LIKE TIMES or PEACE
Correspondent Finds That in Warfare
II Is the little Things" That
Really Count.

A few hundred yards to the rear we
came upon soldier sitting on stump.
From the waist up he was as naked as
a skinned rabbit. In his hand he held
his shirt turned inside out, and he was
studying the garment as intently as a
young son of one of the best families
stealing a chapter of a forbidden dime
novel. But the expression was more
that of man digesting bad news.
'What are you doing, SOM" the cap
tain called out.
The soldier on the stump slowly
raised his-eyes and looked us over. His
expression was that of detached and
world-weary man breaking under the
burden of secret sorrow. We didn't
seem to ease his mind much, for he
sighed deeply and returned to his In
tent inspection.
'T'm readin' over the personal col
umn o. my shirt to see If there were
any new arrivals las night" he an
swered the captains question finally.
II think / must be in a convention, the

"Are you finding any?"

me carefully.

Pays Tribute To First And Thirj
Corps For Part In Glorious Victory.

American Army in France.-General
John J. Pershing, commander-in-chiei
Of the American Army in France, has
issued the following order:
"It fills me with pride to record in
general orders tribute to the service
achievements of the First and Third
Corps, comprising the LIST, I'd, Sd, 4th,
26th, 28th, 32d and 42d divisions of
the American Expeditionary Forces.
"You came to the battlefield az a
crucial hour for the Allied cause For
almost four years the most formid
able army the world has yet seen had
pressed it's invasion of France and
stood threatening its capital At no
time has that army been more pow
erful and meracing than when, on
July IS, it struck again to destroy in
one great battle the brave men op-
posed to it and to enforce it's brutal
will upon the world and civilization.
Three days later, in conjunction
with our Allies, you counter-attacked.
The Allied armies gained brilliant
victory that marks the turning point
Of the war. You did more than to
give the Allies the support to which
as a nation, our faith was pledged.
You proved that our altruism, our
pacific spirit and our sense of justice
have not blunted our virility or our
courage.
"You have shown that American
initiative and energy are as fit for
the tasks of war as for the pursuits
of peace. You have justly won I'M
stinted praise from cur Allies and the
eternal gratitude of our countrymen.
1--WE have paid for our success with
the lives of many of our brave COM
rades. We shall cherish their men,
DRY always and claim for our history

.HA|G' At FORMER
H|NDENBURG LINE
Start Drive Along
Scarpe..
FRENCH ARE NEAR ROVE
General Msngin's Army Snashes-
Prussian Guards Thrown In To
Reduce Menace To German
Positions.

London.-While the Germans were
bus;ly engaged in defending them
selves against the attacks. Of the Brit
ish and French armies from the Ancre
River to the region of Scissors, Field
Marshal Haig struck another surprise
blow over a new front north of the
old battle zone. The new offensive
was launched from the east of Arras
on the Scarpe River and southwark
to the Cojeul. All along the front
the British pressed forward at some
places to depth OF more than two
miles and captured half dozen or
more villages, among them Monchy.
la-Preux, Guemppe and Walcourt.
Across the Cojeul the new British
attacks on the old battlefront brought
them to the village of Mory and st.
Leger, and farther south the small
town of Favreuil, one and half miles
northeast of Bapaume, from which
the British pressed On eastward about
j mile. Farther south the British are
reported unofficially to have reached
the western outskirts of Tnil!oy il the
nipper movement they are carrying
cut against Bapaume. With Haig's
men now standing well within gun
range Of the town it seems likely that
the Germans will be forced to eyaeuate
Bapaume in short order.
Additional gains also have been
made by the British east of Albert
and on both sides of the Somne River.
IN fact, Notwithstanding the efforts OF
the Germans, through the use Of large
rcinforcemelts, the British and French
all along the line from Albert to Sois-
sons have materially bettered their
positions AID carried further forward
their plan of making the Picardy bat
tleground untenable for the enemy.
The French again are hammering
away at the environs of Roye, one of
Ethe strong points of the Somme-Oise
front, the capture of Which doubtless
would cause the giving up by the
enemy of the entire salient from the
Somme, in the north, to Noyon Fres-
noy-les-Roye, to the north, and St.
Mard, to the south of Roye, both have
been captured by the French, despite
the desperate resistance of the Ger
mans, and Rove, like Bapaume in the
north, apparently is in danger of be-
ing pinched out of the line in an
enveloping movement. More than 600
prisoners were taken by the French
in the operation.
The Germans have thrown further
heavy counter-attacks against the
French in the region north of Sois-
sons, where the French continue their
pressure northward in maneuvers
which seriously threaten to outfank
the observation-disclosures and Laon sec
tors and to put the entire German
line from Ypres to Rheims in jeopardy.
All the attacks have been sustained
by General Mangin's forces and the
French even have pushed back the
Germans beyond the points from
which they started.
The operations of the British on the
northern part of the front, from the
east of Arras to the region of Bulle-
court, have brought them virtually
upon or very near the old Hindenburg
line.
