THE WAR

Latest dispatches show that the
Allies are advancing all along the
line. The Huns continue their re-
treat.
The American forces engaged are
covering themselves with glory.
Their loses are heavy, but all accounts
agree in stating that for every Amer
ican killed three Germans pay the
penalty.
One Of the latest dispatches says:
1.-The French, Americans and Brit
ish have captured great quantities OF
ammunition and guns. In Paris 1t is
declared that when the aggregate
number of prisoners is known 1t will
thrill the allied world. The Ameri-
cans alone captured S,40O prisoners
and 1873 guns.
A dispatch from the front says:
"Among the Americans in tOday's
fighting were a number of Indiana,
who gave an excellent account OF
themselves"
The original Americans can be de-
pended on to give al excellent ac-
count of themselves.
LATEST-The British are now into
1t heavy and have delivered q smash
ing blow against the Huns on the
Flanders front.
The French and Americans are
still pounding the enemy along the
Vesle. Aisne front.
AT all points the battle is progress
ing most favorably for the Allies.
On this side Of the Atlantic, a few
German submarines are operating.

Serious Accidents

with a very serious accident.

lowered to the water in the bottom of

the well and investigate. The pump

Mr.. Lytle, breaking his right arm
and badly bruising his left hand, and
using him up badly generally.
The injured man WAS brought to
town as quickly rs possible, and DIR.

so badly shattered that IL was thought
amputxtion would have to be resort

At this time Mr.. Lytle Is resting

be expected.

The dinner was endless, which was
necessary, since nothing was TO follow
but conversation. There could, under
the circumstances. be no dancing. And
| the talk at the table, through course
| after course, was somewhat hectic,
even under the constraining presence
of King Karl. There were two reasons
| for this: Karl's presence and his pur-
| pose-as yet unannounced, but sur
missed, and even known-and the sit
uation in the city.
That was bad. The papers had been
ordered to make no mention Of the
occurrence of the afternoon, but it was
well known. There were many at the
table who felt the whole attempt fool
hardy, the setting Of a match to in
flammable material. There were 9TH
ers who resented Karl's presence in
Livonia, and all that it implied. And

Gently sat in less august and more aw-

Beneath all the brilliance and chat

then, uneasiness, wretchedness, and
even treachery. And outside the pal

c<fI eSa - ~ hn crowd
which had watched the arrival OF the
carriages and automobiles, had craned
forward to catch a glimpse Of uniform
or brilliantly shrouded figure entering
the palace. and muttered as 1t looked.
Dinner was over at last. The party
empty place, hung with tapestries and
gayly lighted. Here the semblance OF
gayety persisted, and Karl, affability
itself, spoke few words to each OF
the guests. Then it was over. The
guests left, the members of the coun-
Gil, each with a wife on his arm,
frowsy, overdressed women most OF
them. The council was chosen for
ability and not for birth. At last only
the. suite remained, and constraint
vanished.
The family Withdrew shortly after to
small salon OFF the large one. And
there, at last, Karl cornered Hedwig
and demanded speech.
"Where?" she asked, glancing around
the crowded room.
II shall have to leave that to you"
he said. "Unless-there II bal
cony."
"But do you think 1t is necessary
"Why notY
Because what I have to say does
not matter"
1T matters very much to me-" he
replied gravely.
Hedwig went first, slipping away
quietly and unnoticed. Karl asked tho
permission to follow her
and found her waiting there alone,
rather desperately calm now, and with
a tinge OF excited color in her cheeks.
Because he cared great deal, and be
cause, as kings 60, he was neither
bad nor hard, his hrst words
were kind and genuine. and almost
brought her to tears.

She did not reply, and he drew q

was seated, he took up his position
beside her, one arm against pillar.

Hedwig stared up with startled eyes.
1t was not enough to be sacrificed.
And as she realized all that hung on
the situation, the very life of the king
dom, perhaps the safety of her family,
everything, she closed her eyes for
fear he might see the fright in them.
Karl bent over and took one of her
cold hands between his two warm ones.

"Why should marriage be always
