HER PRAYER WAS ANSWERED
Little Girls Appeal for Automobile
Ride Proved That Her Argument
Was a Good One.

The six-year-old daughter Of an at
terney has been taught from infancy
TO have implicit faith in prayer. So
strongly has this been impressed on
her mind that practically all OF her de
sires and childish wishes sooner or
later find expression In prayerful APP
peal.
The child Is q motor enthusiast. ana
on the first warm day after the severe
winter weather she asked her father
10 take her out for a ride. He ex-
planned that their machine was put
away for the winter. and that 1t could
not be used at that time. The child
then sought her mother and asked her
10 pray for somebody to CONE around
and take them out for a ride. The
mother tried to explain that such a
prayer would be unavailing, but, I'M
daunted In her firm belief. the child
went To her room and prayed that she
might have an auto ride. An hour or
so passed. and the little girl waited
expeetantly and anxiously for the au-
tomohile To arrive.
Seeking to allay the child's disap-
pointment the mother started to ey-
plain more fully. when the shrek of
an automobile horn was heard outside.
The child rushed 70 the door. aud 10
the amazement Of the mother, a neigh
Dor asked the girl whether she desired
20 take a ride.
"Wiu you have room for mother.
too?f the girl asked.
NO. we just have roc for n lit
tie girl" replied The man al the wheel.
The child hurricdiy put on her coat
and cap. and us she left The doorway
she turned ~ her mother and said:
See, mother. If ven had prayed with
me- vou could have gone. too"
The mother is stln wondering.

War Is Informal Affair.

That the number OF full dress salts
purchased in America since Uncle Sam
threw down the gauntlet has fallen
of 30 per cent Is an indication Of a
realization on the part OF the nation
that war Is no dress affair.

across the street don't stand on cere-

TO Soldiers Who Have Suffered
Disagreement.

The high yelocities and high explo.

often result in facial wounds Of most
horrible appearance. in the repair OF
which the SURGEONS meet with extreme
difficulties. In particular. soldiers re-
turn from the line of fire not merely
with an eye shot out. but with the en-
tire lid and eye socket destroyed, and
the absence of these foundations has
often made the insertion of an arti-
fetal eye impossible.
Until the present moment there has
never existed any means for conceal

Heavy Demand for Rubber.

The world discarded $4,000 tons of
automobile tires during 1916. Adding
to this the large number of bicycle
tires thrown away every year by their
owners, II appears that the world
spends every year at least $600,000.-
900 for pneumatic tires alone. Nearly
100000 automobiles are now in use
in the United States. To supply these
with tires nearly $4,000 tons of India
rubber are needed every year, and the
American automobile owners pay every
year as much as 5000. 0O0, 900 for tires.

NEWPORT.

Thou land of the toilers lofty dream, Where the green fields wave their
 heads; And the White river sends it's gurg-
 ling stream, And the dew her silvery beads. Where the golden grain in flooded
 shoot, Sends her treasures across the sea; The zephyrs of spring play their mel
 odious lute, Can thy coronet, Newport be? Thou furrored soil as a mother loam, Bears her offspring every year; As her harvest sends it's towering
 dome, When the autumn stacks appear. T can see thy wealth like an Ophir
 Isle, Like an Anaconda jewel. I see in my dream thy lavishedl style, Thy wealth in it's vortex pool. Thou thrifty sons of the rocky soil, Tith muscle and brain hard bent.
 fopgh the weary years in endless You energies have been. spent. As il builds the hasty path you tread, With Eluster almost divine; While er your towering heads you The hol rs we own are thine. But with all the trophies you bear And the hA Anors you claim your own, And the Kingdom that bows before your sway, And the wealth that you call your
 throne; Do you hold in your heart godly
 fear,
 Which some higher wealth has bought, Alone with his, will there appear, The city, the great Newport. The harvest is good and so is the gold, I The intellect all would admire; Its perfecting plan would ever unfold, A luster that lives to inspire. But has there lived in the plans of
 men, As the higher goal they sought, A sway that shall honor their labours l when Departed from great Newport.

France and America

From The American Lumberman.
1t was only a little river, almost a brook it
was called the User; One could talk from one
side to the other without raising ones voice. and
the birds could fly over it with one sweep of
their wings. And on the two banks there were
millions of men, the one turned toward the
other, eye to eye. But the distance which sepa-
rated them greater than the stars in the sky;
it was the distance which separate right from
injustice.
The ocean is so vast that the sea gulls do not
dare to cross it. During seven days and seven
nights the great steamships OF America going
at full speed, drive through the deep waters be-.
fore the lighthouse of France come into view;
but from one side to the other hearts are touch
ing-LIetter of French school girl quoted by
DR.. John H. Finley.
Distance you are not measured in mere miles
Nor little inches-you are that divides
Foeman from foe, justice from right The sides
OF chasms almost touch yet flooded Niles
Might flow between. A thousand miles of plain,
Three thousand miles Of ocean, can not part
The beating heart of brother from the heart
OF bleeding brother kin in common pain
France and America! Across the seas
Your shores touch hands. The same red, white
The trinity Of colors. glory you
And stand the signal Of your liberties.
A thousand thoughts wing seaward with the
And cross the waters in an instant's time
And meet thousand kindred thoughts sub
lime
While yet unbridged the little chasm yawns
The outworn creed, the ancient right OF kings,
The lust Of conquest and the hope Of power,
They the centuries of this mad hour,
Farthest apart of all earths farthest things.
Rivers and mountains. borders, do not make
The nations neighbors; nations are akin
Only that have a common dream within
And to die for one another's sake
France and America. you are neighbors now
And have been neighbors all your mighty
years,
Your shores cenented by your common tears
greater ocean than your vessels plough.
France and America, in Gods own good day
Even the Teuton shall the union feel
And, taught by love, if need be taught by steel,
Shall wipe the last red borderne away.

THE FORUMS WAR MAPS.

The Forum takes a certain amount Of
pride in the war maps it is publishing these
days, showing the battle line up to 2 o'clock
of the day Of publication.
SO far as The Forum knows, there is no
other daily newspaper in the United States
giving this service at present, although
they might easily do 80.
To properly follow the daily progress Of
the greatest battle in the world s history,
The Forum would suggest to its readers
that they equip themselves with large
wall map of France, showing the entire
battle line. By reference to The Forum s
daily map, they can follow the progress of
the battle inteligently, correcting the lines
daily on their own map.

out in two or three weeks at the longest,
and the last one was stifled in three days.
The Foch offensive, on the contrary, has
continued without respite for more than
six weeks, and it is raging on wider front
and more vigorously now than at any time
since it began.
Where will it end and when9
The next few days are going to be big
factor in revealing the answer to that
question. Watch the attack between Ba-
paume and the Scarpe river during the
next few days 1t was predicted in The
Forum war review Saturday that this
stretch of the line would witness violent,
fighting this week, and the attack came
yesterday by the Canadians. The breach
they have made in the Hindenburg and
Drocourt- Queant lines of defense is the
vital spot in the whole battle at present.
If that breach can be widened and deep
ened, there may be no breathing spell for
the Germans and the retreat to the border
will be begun.
There is no we'll organized line of de-
Tense between the Hindenburg line and the
border, so far as is known to the war cor
respondents. That means the retreat of
the Germans, constantly harrassed by the
Allied armies, must continue, and the
chances for it becoming a disastrous rout
are increasing, with every day that passes
