REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH
Portuguese Statesman May Not Have
Been FIattered, but at Least rio
Won One Vote.

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, Is excusing himself from max
ing speech on the ground that he was
no orator. told an amusing anecdote mt
luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit TO London. Ii
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by abiding frankly to his
lack Of oratoricnl gifts. After he had
finished a man pushed forward. grasp
ed his hand warmly, and said:
SENIOR, I've becl n lifelong oppo-
nent Of yours, but at the coming cleo
ton shall vote for YOU"
"Thank YOU" said Costa, much graf
flied. MAY ask the particular rea-
son for your change OF views?"
Because you are the first speaker
on either side that have heard tell
the TRUTH" was the reply. "You said
when you began that you couldn't
make much Of a speech, and by heav-

perhaps over-eatlng, lack of good exer-

SECRET SERVICE WORK
And THE AIR, SYSTEM
They Contributed Greatly to the
as Success of Holding Foe Il
~ In Check
EDWARD L. KEENE df

London, July 17.-Among the chief
causes for the great success OF the
allies in repulsing the present drive
was the increasing efficiency of the
intelligence department. This was
made possible by increased secret
service work and by the marked su-
periority of the allies in the air. Ger
man planes are now constantly seek
ing cover and every move of the
enemy, is carefully watched and re-
ported.
Blow Was Pointed Out.
In this manner it was known ap-
proximately where, even TO the front
and sector that the next Hun blow
would fall. At any computation,
whether the drive was only an OPEN
ing stroke or not the defeat means
an inglorious record for Germany.
This was to be the greatest and most
successful of all drives. 1t S failure
cannot help but cast gloom over the
entire country.
Drive Not SideshoW.
Allied military critics are now of
the opinion that the drive was> not a
sideshow. 1t is thought to have been
the major stroke of the present lunge
toward Paris. Too many men were
concentrated at Rheims and other
points to justify the claim that it was
only minor blow meant for ruse
before the real offensive starts.

DRIVE OUT TEUTONS
Are Knocking the Huns From
Their Points Of Vantage
SLASHINC into ENEMY
American Soldiers Refused To
Surrender and Cut Way
To Safety
FRED E. FERGUSON

With the American Troops On the
Marne, July 17.-After driving the
Germans back in the fierce onslaught,
the Americans have now started
series OF assaults to drive them out
of the vantage points they hold along
the entire front. Conde wood has
been completely cleared of the ene-
my, and operations have been open
ed in other sectors.
Yanks Strafed Germans.
1t develops from reports that the
Americans never completely evacu-
ated the village of Mezy. One pla-
toon of men hid in a cellar and
severely strafed the advancing Hun.
AS the gray waves swept past the
little garrison continued fighting des-
perately against terrific odds. For
several hours they held out, wreck
ing a terrible toll on the enemy with
machine gun fire at close range.
American Counter Attacked.
Then the forces in the rear, obliged
to fall back slowly, reorganized and
counter attacked with fury that
sent the Huns skurrying back. AS
the ranks turned and fed the little
group in the cellar sent volley after
volley crashing after them. There
was a joyful reunion when the men
again came together and the rem
nants of the platoon again joined the
main forces,
Americans Cut Way to Safety.
Two comr anies, composing 500
men, attempted flanking movement.
So rapidly did the Sammies advance
that they were completely cut off by
the enemy in a piece. of woods. The
Germans sent word, saying they
would be given an opportunity to
surrender. The Americans replied
with a hot volley that stunned the
Huns. Then applying the, cold steel
of their bayonets they literally cut
their way thror'sh a solid wal! of the
enemy to safety. The casualties were
remarkably light on the American
side.
