what Dew Tells Sailors.

Answers, London: Sailors have a
curious way of knowing when their
shin is approaching land They go to
Mother Nature for their knowledge. If
YOU are on the ship they may ask you
TO feel the deck, which is wet with
dew. Even if the sea is absolutely
smooth the deck seems as though wat
er has been poured across it. The
sailor will then inform you that dew
is never to be found more than thirty
miles from land, so dew is good
prophet.

more green occasionally.
Rich brown, like those out there in

dead, nor suggest the idea Of dead
leaves. All that square mile Of solid
foliage In sight looks very much alive
in the setting October sun, and only
suggests the melancholy days, be-
cause one knows it was mass Of
dark and deep green when one saw 1t
in July.

On the Common Country Roads.


It is not only the large masses
OF forest that have Been dec
Grated by the October brush and pa.
lette.
The brightest splashes Of color are
along the roads-not the motor routes
with their painted poles and garnish
signboards, but the more modest
roads, used less and the more beauti-
ful because not so well kept.
The brilliant red Of the sumach
is dominant there. October has not
been sparing Of her pigment, when she
touched the sumach. The golden rod
is plentiful but its color tone depends
on how long it has been IN bloom. At
first 1t is real yellow; later the yell
low has faded and become dull; many
Of the blooms have become too dull to
be attractive.
The wild astors are the queens of
the autumn flowers, after all They
are scattered along fences, and mass
ed in places on the side OF the Mississ-
ippi bluff in white and puppies rang
ing from deep magenta to light shade
that blends almost imperceptib1y into
the white Of the flowers nearby. The
best Of the white flowers Is the bone

October paints the landscape with
full palette and many whims and
quirks of color on the canvas OF the
| forests.
The Mississippi river bluffs are still
green In tone, especially on the east
ern side, where there are some
splotches Of rather bright green left,
as one views them from Rand park or
the river boulevard in Iowa. The west
ern bluffs, rising higher than those in
Illinois, seem a trifle more highly
colored than those on the other side
of the river and Lake Keokuk.
But October has put her own col
ors on them all. In Rand park is a
beautiful carpet of forest leaves, all
brown inlaid in a body Of green grass.
like the softest Of rugs with beauti-
fully blended color tones, restful to
the eye and harmonizing with almost
any surroundings.
But it is far inland from the PARK
and the river that one finds the orato-
rio of October with brown for Its mo-
TIFF.
Overlooking a Keokuk Valley.
It is wonderful symphony in
brown, that one sees from an emf
Inence these October days, as one looks
down into a deep valley and at the op-
posite wooded slopes.
Out where the Industrial association
owns a tract of land is one OF thse
views. The valley OF the little creek
is very deep and wide, a big chasm
cut into the earth in glacial times.
There the view from the hill shows
nothing but the tops Of forest trees
covering so many acres that one thinks
in square miles. And 1t is all a SYM
phony of browns. The large mass over
yonder on the slope is dark brown,
like light playing on seal skin. Just
beyond is a big patch of the lighter
brown. called in Spanish, colorado ma
duro, and edging it on one side, the
brown shades lighter and runs into a
mere trace of green that harmonizes
perfectly.

Belgium World Question;
No Peace Without Her
Freedom, Says German
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, July 17-German news
papers give prominence to an inter
esting statement on Belgium by Prof
Hans Delbrueck in the Neues Weiner
Journal, says an Exchange Telegraph
despatch from Amsterdam. The state
ment reads:
Germany now will lose nothing by
declaring her readiness to evacuate
Belgium without conditions and to
reinstate her in independence and in
tegrity. Germany has plenty of other
safeguards. Belgium is not only a
German question: it is a world ques-
ton
mo peace is possible in the world
unless Belgium is as free as before
the war. Even America has the great
est interest in Belgium. Until Bel
gium becomes free the world cannot
accept even the indirect rule of Ger
many over her"

Position of Allies Said to
be ''Distinctly Satisfactory

be awaited with considerable conf
dence.
The tendency now is to discard the
suggestion that the enemy's present
attack was possibly prelude to a
serious assault elsewhere or a feint
for the purpose of drawing off the
allied reserves from other areas. The
view is widely taken that what the
world is watching is Germany's main
offensive which, according to state
ments of prisoners, had been dubbed
beforehand the "Friedenstrumd" or
peace attack, it's object being to force
German Ieace upon the allies.
WASHINGTON, July 17-With bit
ter fighting along the Marne east and
west of Rheims, still in progress, ac-
cording to both official and unofficial
reports, officials here awaited today
the crisis in Germany's latest offens-
i've which has been termed 'the storm
of peace" Dispatches from General
Pershing or General Bliss covering
the latest operations were not avail
a BILE early today but information re-
ceived from the American military
attache at Paris combined with press
reports lead to expressions Of deep
satisfaction with the situation as it
stood at the end of the second day of
the drive and the reiterated belief
that German efforts along the Marne
will continue to be met successfully
by the American, French and Italian
troops.
In the view of officials, the situa-
ton along the sector between Chateau
Thierry and Jaulgonne appears very
encouraging. Official reports of the
counter attacks of the Americans in
this region which resulted in the re-
capture Of several important positions
were expected soon.
