 And then?" asked Mark in agita- tion.
 q remember nothing. I suppose the bullet that killed my father must have struck him while he was in the hut, but I have no picture in my mind at all."
 Mark mumbled something to con- ceal his agitation. And do you re- member me coming and picking you up?" he asked.
 She shook her head respectfully. T don't remember anything else" she answered. "Nothing until that dinner in the majors house."
 She linked her arm through his and looked at him earnestly. Uncle Mark, it makes me unhappy some times to think that I have no memory no clear memory of my parents. 1 am sure that some day all this mystery will be cleared up. Don't you hope sop
 "Yes," answered Mark miserably.
 He had always wondered what the child would be like. Towards half yearly letters had always assumed too much for granted. Mark had practi- calIy relinquished Eleanor to the Ma jor, and he had never learned anything about her that he had really wanted to know. He had net imagined the pre- cocious, high-strung, idealistic girl whom he now saw. He knew that the disclosure of her fathers dishonor, if ever it came about, would shock her into q revulsion of feeling that would be fatal to the true development of her character.
 He had often wished that he had not pressed that idea of the regimental mascot upon the major. It had been born in q mind attuned 10 the victory of tbat bloody day; in normal mo- ments he would never have enter tained it. Yet Major Howard had been more impressed than he had ad- mitted to Mark. The idea had spread through the minds of the other officers. There was never a Guard din- her but Eleanor was solemnly toasted, though she was not permitted to be present, and somehow the child had become q symbol in the minds of these plain men in business and professional life who spent two weeks in camp each year.
 After the war Mark had gone to the regulars; but he was still in touch with the officers of the Seventieth. and he knew that, If ever war came, he could obtain an appointment to it.
 T am sure that my father will prove to have been brave soldier" said Eleanor, clasping her hands eagerly. And sometimes" she continued, II think that there must have been a great mystery about him."
 "Why?" demanded Mark, startled.
 Because of the man who watches for me-"
 "Watches for you7 It is imagina- tion, Eleanor"

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. April 13.-All effofts of the German high command for the pres ent are directed toward the system atic dislocation of the British armies. Having failed to break the communi- cations between the British and French. the enemy has turned his sole attention northward and it ap- pears likely that the Germans will continue to throw all their available strength in that direction.
 Many Hammerng Blows
 The enemy's plan seems to be to deliver a succession of hammering blows at different points between the Somme and the sea and with the desire of bringing about a British evacuation of the entire northern district of France.
 Six German armies are participant ing in the battle raging along the front They are as follows:
 Six Armies Are Used
 Won Arnmier's, von Quests, Otto von Below's, von Marwitzs, von Hut ier's and von Boehms on the east Of the Disc.

cility than the allies, and thus by surprise attack with rapidly concen- trated superior forces, can compel the retirement of the allies at any point. Hitherto, owing to the great tenacity of the allies, the enemy has been unable to carry out his plans of ad- vance according to his pre- arranged program. This has been learned from orders captured on prisoners who have fallen into allied hands in considerable numbers lately dur ing close fighting. These orders fore saw the capture of the line along the Lys river on April g. While Be thune should have been taken April 10, but it was saved by the wonder ful defense of the British at Givenchy.
 Still Fight for Amiens
 On the French portion of the bat tie line, the principal fighting is progressing on the sectors toward Amiens, where the Germans persist in trying to pierce the line in order to obtain the moral victory of taking Amiens, but they are unable to over come the opposition of the French. During last night, the battle here never ceased a moment, enemy as- saults being immediately followed by French counter attacks which re- suited in the recapture of the im- portant village of Hangard with a number of prisoners.

BERLIN, April 13.-(Via Lon don). - The official statement from general headquarters to- night says:
 "On the battlefield of the Lys OUT attacks against English di- visions, which had been brought up as quickly as possible in motor cars and by railway, made good progress.
 From 'the heights of Messines we pushed forward across the SteenbeI<e river and reached the eastern border of Wulverghem. Troops which had advanced to the south of Ploegsteert wood swung around toward the north in a rapid and independent action under the regimental commander Lieutenant Colonel PoInnann and took the fortified heights of Ros sign by storm and joined hands with a detachment which had advanced to the north along the wood.
 "The strongly wired wood which would have been difficult to cap ture by means of a frontal at tack, fell through, being sur rounded.
 Between the railways leading from Armentieres to Baiileul and Merville, we carried our attack forward as far as the railway leading from Bailleul to Morris and as far as the eastern border of Nieppe wood.
 "To the south of MervilIe our troops captured the Clarence river, and after having taken Locon by storm, reached La Bas see canal to the northwest of Bethune.
 "On the battle front on both sides of the Somme, lively artil- Iery duels continue in many sec tors. Local advances of our in- fantry on both sides Of the Luce resulted in the bringing in of 400 prisoners, French and English.
 Between the Mouse and the MoselIe, reconnoiterinq detach- ments penetrated the French and American trenches and took pris- oners. In unsuccessful counter attacks, the enemy suffered heavy losses.
 ''In the other theaters there is nothing new"
 The evening statement from general headquarters says:
 "We gained ground on the bat tie front on the Lys all the way. Otherwise there is nothing new"

 SIOUX FALLS, s. D., April 13. The firing squad against a stone wall at sunrise was recommended as the penalty for acts of disloy- alty by Federal Judge j. Elliot in the United States district court here today in sentencing Henry Homan, Spanish American war veteran, who pleaded guilty to vi plating the espinoage act. Homan, who was indicted for disIoyal ut terance in connection with the an nouncement of the death of Major Augustus p. Gardner, in a south ern tarining camp, was fined $1,o0o. Homan's act, the court de- cIared, was inconsistent with the entire history of his life.
 "The firing squad against a stone wall at sunrise," Judge Elliott de- cIared, lis the only penalty that is commensurate with the offense; that is, if there is nothing more se- vere."

 "The following information was tel ograplld Friday evening from Berne, which gives Us an idea of the effect which may be produced by the revela- tions of MT. Clemenceau. It has been possible this morning to note the i'm presslon caused by this publication among the journalists of the central powers living at Berne. During an eX- trcmely animated conversation this morning in which several Germans and Austrian journalists took part, one of them exclaimed with the approval of his interlocutors, It is a veritable bomb that has just exploded. He will have to abdicate.'

 Before the publication of the text of the letter the Austro German press, conforming with the insane lies of the emperor Charles I and his minister, had the audacity to declare that it was a pure invention.

LONDON, April 13.-A Russian wireless message addressed to Der lin says:
 "The offensive of the Turkish troops and attachments on the Caucasian front has been followed by the murder of the whole Ar menian population. The peaceful population of women and children have been killed without mercy and their property has been plundered and burned.
 "The peace treaty, which we were forced to sign at Brest- Litovsk, left the determination of the future destiny of the people of the provinces of Ardahan, kars and Batum to themselves. The events which have taken place in these provinces testify that the old poll icy of the annihilation of the Ar menian people is still to be ap- piled.
 "On the Turkish front, the ad- Vantages in the war was on the side of Russia and Russia was forced to give up Ardahan, Kars and Batum only because Germany was the ally Of turkey. The re- sponsibility for all the horrors which the Armenian population now is suffering in those regions already occupied by the Turkish troops lies, therefore, with the German government, which direct Iy helped Turkey to secure these regions.
 'The peoples commissariat for foreign affairs protests against such abuse of the right of self de- termination of the population of these provinces and expresses the hope and insists on the necessity 0 immediate and energetic interven- ton on the part of Germany in the Caucasus with a view to stopping further murders and the annihila- ton of the peaceful population, such as has taken place in Arda- ham,

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Over op- timism, which has prompted workers in many communities to suspend op- erations after reaching their quota or to slacken their efforts, appeared to- day to officials as a serious menace to the success of the third Liberty Loan. This condition was evidence in scores of reports to headquarters.
 Federal reserve banks reported in quiries from local committee chairmen whether they should suspend adver- Using after towns goal was reached, and other messages reflected feeling that since the first weeks subscrip- tions had been so much greater than those of the first week in the second loan, the success of this campaign was assured.
 Must Work to End
 Messages from headquarters to com munities which showed signs of let ting up in their efforts stated emphat- ically that despite the success that has attended the campaign up to the pres ent, hard work to the very last day is necessary, particularly if Secretary McAdOo's hopes of large oversub- scription are to be realized.
 Official reports of subscriptions uI to last night, representing one weeh of canvasNng, gave total of S573,- 451 500 for the entire country excluding the Minneapolis federal reserve dis trict, where the campaign will opeI Monday. This is $121. ,600 more thar was reported last night.
