II analogous to Genera f'och's coun-
ter stroke between the Aisne and
the Marne.
The scope Of FochS action is greater
than Byngs advent with the tanks last
November The strategy and the tactics
are similar In both the infantry went
over without any preliminary artillery
preparation. In both tanks were used

Buzancy, six miles. equals Byng's
ilrthest advance Both movements were
a total surprise
We are particularly interested in the
analogy OF counter attack because
many enthusiastic Americans have
voiced the opinion that the Hun morale
has been depressed beyond the point Of
successful reaction
At Cambria the British were fooled
because the Hun jailed to react on the
second and third ,daSs of the battle.
On the fourth datN-he German mass
had arrived There was weak spot
on Byngs right flank. The enemy
pierced it and threw the victorious
fifth army into confusion. Before the
action was over the Hun had written
chcCkmate.
Friday was the second day in Foch's
offensive.
The signs Of rout apparent among the
kaisers holding troops on Thursday
had disappeared The line was stabil-
lied on three-fourths OF the twenty
five mile front involved BY midnight

had the German reserves moving in.

Looked forward to merry life
And wasn't anyways dOwnhearted
Had visions OF the gay old nights.
Devoid OF cross examinations.

At least a plenty of the food
Encountered In his far-fung feeding,
Which caused a melancholy mood
And left him pcnslve and unheeding

Nor sing the merry roundeAy
While facing such veNing question
As what to eat and where and how
And why and when; 'tis complicated.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY %, 1918.

A dispatch from Washington con-
tains the boast that the United
States is the only country that has
succeeded in establishing a success
full dyestuff industry since the war
began, and that American dyes are as
good as the German products. The
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
MERGE is responsible for interesting
figures. Formerly importing annual
ly as much as S10,00O,O00 worth OF
aniline dyes alone, the United States
during ten months of last year eX-
ported $12,500,000 worth of dyes to
twenty-one foreign countries, and ex-
ports are growing rapidly. The
largest purchaser last year was
Great Britain, which used more than
100000 worth of dyes in ten
months.
Great Britain is now congratulating
herself on the recent capture Of the
recipes Of two hundred and fifty
seven German dyes. 1t is extremely
likely that this interesting item OF
trade gossip will not be ignored al
the approaching meeting.

AN OFFICIAL STORY TELLER
Libraries in Canada Find Special Fea-
ture for the Entertainment of
Children Is Worth While,

In several of the public libraries of
Canada story telling to children has
for some years been a special feature,
says an exchange. Each Saturday morn
ing from fifty to one hundred children
assemble at the library in a room set
apart for the purpose and called the
"Children's Room" The ages of the
children vary from six to fourteen
years.
At st. John, New Brunswick, story
telling has been continued now for
three years. This year it has been
found advisable to divide the children
according to age and to hold two
classes of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown in interest,
and the demand for books of a less
trivial type justifies the work of the
committee in charge. During the sum-
mer, when opportunity offers and a
story-teller Of note is a guest of the
city, notice is given to the library, and
1t Is often possible to have special
sessions
