He was so informed this morning.
Day before yesterday he wrote Mr..
Gilbert, saying that his father would
pay for all damage resulting-and
that he himself would furnish the
pie. But Mr. Gilbert is unable to see
the proposition-nct even dimly.
Edward E. Mack was interviewed
to-day by the Liberty Loan pub
licity man.
do you think that would be a
charitable act-Gring a sloppy pie

Edward l.. Mack.
But think of the publicity he
would get" answered the youth.
And think of the pie" insisted
the press agent. How would you
like to be struck in the face with
squashy pie?"
But maybe I wouldn't hit him in
the face" replied the boy.
'No-maybe YOU would miss him
altogether and hit poor little Mary
Pickford." said the press agent.
That's right" admitted the boy
"I guess, maybe, I'd better not try
it."
Then a happy thought struck
him.
You could move Mary away he
said
But neither Henderson Gilbert

After more than four years of con-

Germany's peace drive through
Picardy enters upon its third week
with both forces preparing for the
resumption of heavy fighting. The
weather has interfered somewhat
but the Germans have not renewed
their heavy attacks and the fighting
front has remained virtually un-
changed since Monday.
North of the Somme the British
have improved their positions in
small attacks, while on the import
ant sector south of the river there
has been no infantry action. In the
region north of Montdidier, which
has been the scene of much heavy
fighting, the artillery bombardment
has been violent but the enemy has
made no attempt to attack.
Great Interest in Plans
While there is little douot that
the Germans must attack again and
will have to sustain still greater
Losses in further efforts against the
allied line, much interest centers in
the plans of General Foch. The
attacks Ly the British between A.
bert and Arras and by the French
between Montdldier and Noyon ap-
Iarently were fer the purpose of
Improving local positions. Silence is
being maintained by both sides as to
the n+At act in the titanic military
contest"
German newspapers declare the
German drive was halted by bad
weather and not by the Franco-Brit
i3h defense. Admission is made
that the Germans are having great
difficulty in moving up guns and
supplies over the muddy area of the
Somme and that traL sport is in poor
shape because of the necessity for
constructing new roads.
Amicns Free From Danger
Amiens, the primary objective of
German efforts in the past two
weeks is free from danger for the
moment. A military proclamation
posted there informs the population
that threatening peril has been re-
moved and eXhorts them to main
