Miss Dorothy Campbell knew that 1

She opened the door and stepped on
to find that the top stone step was still
a glare. Miss Dorothy was falling and
screaming when a male pedestrian
who happened to be passing at tina,

and received her In his arms. The
shock landed both of them on the walk
but on their feet and they suffered nc
injury.

"Oh, l am pretty s%urefooted." she
laughed as she noticed that he had

As Miss Dorothy was moving away
she noticed that her escuer was a
man Of perhaps TWENTY-FIVE. with a
professional look about HIM. He had
dark hair and eyes and a smile that
was good nature itself. He was still
standing. and she realized that he
would watch her until she had crossed
the street. and, though there was ice
under her feet. she stepped out boldly.
She saw two or three pedestrians slip
ping and falling, but she would take
no warning. BY sheer good luck she
reached the destination she had set out
for. and in time she started to make
her way home. She had made half the
distance when q rough neck Of a man
In passing her seemed to give her his
elbow with intent to make her fall,
and fall she did. But Miss Dorothy
didn't go right down amid the slush,

she turned to find the man who had
saved her before.

dozen voices in chorus. and then there
was a mad scramble among those on
the platform. One OF the freight cara

she was still standing and wondering,
when an arm went around her waist

that man." He lifted his hat and
calmly explained:

IMPROVE
 THEIR VESLE POSITIONS,

With the American Army In France, Aug. 22.-(By the Associated Press)- The Americans made a local attack west of Fishes, on the Vesle River between Soissons and Rheims, We'd nesday night. The attacks rendered the Vesle holdings more secure and also resulted in the cleaning out of a position from which German snipers had been causing the Americans con siderable annoyance. The, attack was preceded by barrage. -
 The Germans made a counter -at- tack at daylight this morning in an endeavor to offset the American suc- cess. The Americans, however, killed a number of the Germans, made four teen prisoner and forced the remaind- CT to flee in disorder.
 In the attacks by the Americans a substantial stone building formerly used as a tannery was occupied most of the Germans having fled or been killed when the American barrase be- gan. The tannery commands the Vesle bridges and other important points.
 The Germans started their attacks with a barrage; then the infantry en- deavored to wrest he tannery from the Americans. Close fighting ensued, the Americans taking three prisoners at one place and eleven at another.
 The Germans during the day used minenWerfers and machine guns at in tervals, but made no concentrated at tacks and the Americans are holding the tannery and other positions which help make their Vesle positions more secure.

Washington, Aug. 22RStrictures upon failures disappointments and delays in the American aircraft pro- gramme are coupled with praise for what now has been accomplished and statement that quantity production soon may be expected, in long re- port submitted today by the senate military sub- committee on it's air craft investigation.

TWO AMERICAN REGIMENTS
 AT PORT OF VLADIVOSTOK

Washington, Aug. p. -- The an- nouncement by Secretary Baker to- day of the arrival of the Thirty First Regiment, Regulars, United States Infantry, at Vladivostok brings the military representation of the Uni>ed States at that port to two full regi- ments, the arrival of the Twenty Seventh Infantry having been an- nounced several days ago. Secretary Baker said that Major General Will jam $. Graves, who is to command the American contingent had not yet arrived at Vladivostok.
 Re- establishment of civil govern ment at Vladivostok and Archangel will be the first task of the interna- tional councils, it was said by off cials here who pointed out that such action at Vladivostok would allow the military commands to devote them selves exclusively to clearing that re- zion between lrkutsk and the Pacific of the Bolsheviki and their allies, lib- erated German and Austrian prison CTS This accomplished, the work of the VIadivostok commission would be to push westward and eventually CO., ordinate with the commission al Archangel.

HOW MOONEY CASE MAY
 REACH THE SUPREME COURT

Washingon Aug. 22.-In view of the refusal of the circuit court of appeals in California to grant an appeal in the case of Thomas J. Mooney, officials said today the case could not reach the supreme court unless a writ of error was granted by one of the su- preme court justices. A request for a writ of error would go to Associate Justice McKenna, who represents the Ninth Judicial District and who now is spending his vacation in Medfeld, Mass. Although an appeal does not automatically prevent the carrying out of judgment It always is customary for lower courts pending the final determination of case taken to a higher court temporarily to withhold enforcement of a judgment.
